mcnt for setting fire to and burning the harms and
sheds Of Chus " and Fred'k Campbell In West
minister West Nov. ~. lSS} The evidence tended
10 show that within year after the Campbell lire
there were three other fires Of farm buildings in
that vicinity, and among them were the buildings
Of David e. Gurham. for which the defendant was
arrested aud Indicted and to which indictment he
pleaded guilty AT thc.March term, lSSI, and was
sentenced to three years Imprisonment in state
prison. The further evidence tended to show that
the defendant owed the Campbnlls n grIdgr grow
ing out " several matters that arose between
them aud had made some threats against them;
and that further after the UOrham fire and before
he was arrested. he stated 10 several witnesses
that he knew who set fire to CanpblIs buildings
that the person who fired Gurham's buildings
set fire 10 Campb"lls and all the rest To auothcr
witness hc stated that he saw the match that set
Campbclls buildings ON fire. The defendant was
at the fire, and was seen standing near the wool
hOus, door which had been CLOSED by Campbell
and soon after the door was found open and "a fir"
discovered iu an odd boot that had b-,n filled with
straw. Another witness was asked by defendant

used for the first time last Thursday even

of the Brattlehoro gas company, of which
DIR, II. d, fIolton is president and Chas f.
Thompson secretary and treasurer. with
Andrew Horton in charge of the gas de
partment and Walter Fuller Of the electric
! department. The electric light works are
located in G5xl5 annex to the Fletcher
mill, built especially for the company, and
are fitted for use with both water and steam
power. The machinery throughout is of
the highest grade. The engine is - horse
power, made by the Ball engine company of

which is of 100 horse power, Of an upright

4 Few Figures to 20 with the "Grind-
Stone GirCuIur."

The most reckless and misleading piece OF
misrepresentation or deliberate Justification
which this campaign has brought forth is
undoubtedly found in the wool figures print
ed in the "grndstone circular which has
been scattered broadcast here at home, and
is now being circulated 10y the ten thousand
i'm other states These figures, ms all who
have seen them know, are printed in the
form of table, and profess to show "the
price of wool per pound under all the tariff
systems we have had in this country, and
to explode the fallacy of protection = An
examination of these figures showed that
they were grossly Incorrect and that they
had no discoverable basis or foundation OF
fact. Their falsity was repeatedly exposed
by our local Republican speakers on the
stump, and there are probably few intelli
gent men who are not now acquainted with
their true character. As the circulars are
still being distributed, however, it may be
well to show in black and white, in a com
parative table, Just what is the character OF
these Democratic alleged statistics ON the
wool industry The table below covers the
period from 1928 to 1856, inclusive. In the
column under the head of Democratic fig
ures" is given the price per pound which
the "grindstone circular quotes as the
price of wool for that year. In the next
column is given the highest price and in the
third column the lowest price quoted fol
the cheapest grade of wool during each
year, as compiled from the reports Of tn,

Chamber Of Commerce and the New York

Mr.. w. j. Webb, Democratic farmer Of
this town, but not a Cleveland free trader,
has shown us II copy of the Democratic
grin dstone circular, in which they pretend
to quote the prices of wool from 1921 to
1851, with a view Of establishing the doc
trine Of free trade. 1t so happens that Mr.
Webb has kept his own wool price list for
the past - years, and therefore at once
sees the errors or falsehoods contained in
this circular. The highest price of wool
quoted in this circular is - cents, which
everyone of ordinary intelligence knows is
not true by more than 30 cents, and Mr.
Webb remembers selling his own wool Mt
the same time for $l.O5. This was, Of
course, under II protective tariff, and this
circular simply lies to the amount of 30
cents and, while it is thus calculated and
must have been intended to deceive, it is to
be hoped that at least most farmers are,
like Mr.. Webb, too intelligent to bee thus

We need not call attention to the wide
variation which exists between the figures
given out by the Democrats and the anthem
tic figures compiled by Mr.. SpoiTord, be
cause this is shown at glance. There is,
as we have already said, no discoverable
basis Of authority, or even of consistency,
for the Democratic figures, and they Ger.
talnly nave the appearance Of having been
deliberately set up out of whole cloth to
give AN appearance Of truth TO the false
assumption that the price of wool has fallen
under high tariff and risen under a low
one
The authority of Mr.. Spoiford's figures is
of unluestioned reliability. Let candid
men study this table carefully, and see what
they think Of cause which has to he bol-
stored up with such rank Justification as this
proves upon the "grindstone circular"
In arriving at just comparison between
the price Of wool for 1863 to 1878, and the
price since 1873, allowance must be made
for the depreciation of the currency which
existed prior to the resumption of specie
payments in 1879.
