those countries are surprised to find
every fifth young man or woman in
Sweden speak from three to five differ
ent languages. The Swedes do not
tolerate socialism, anarchism, Gamma
Gaelism, etc, but are law-abiding,
peaceful, thrifty; and, best of all, they
become Americanized sooner than any
other foreigners. Why? Because the
Swedes never knew what oppression
was, and Americas free people and in
stitutious are to the incoming Swedes
what the water is to the fishes, elements
in which they thrive and prosper. !
am glad that your honorable legislature
has taken this step, for it ought to be a
pleasant duty to every citizen in the
land to encourage Swedish settlement
and immigration. The state of Yer
mont is so very much like the Sean
dinavian peninsula in climate, agri-
culture and general appearance, that
have no doubt our people would thrive
exceedingly well on its soil. | wish to
point out to you few Swedish-Ameri-
can colonies that may be of value to
you in your investigations. AS model
colonies | would mention New Sweden
in Maine and Chambers Valley, War
rem county, Penn. This latter place
was swampy woodland, discarded by
everybody as entirely unfit for coloni-
cation. In 1913, but principally from
! 1SG0-6S, the Swedes began to settle
there, through some queer notion,
without the slightest persuasion, but of
their own free will. Chambers Valley,
with the town site Sugar Grove, is now
one of the most prosperous commune
ties in the land where schools, churches
| and enterprises of all kinds are numcr-
| Gus. This is all due to the hard work
of the Swedes, and if you know some
! thing Of the rough lands of Western
! PENNSYLVANIA, its hills, mountains and
woodland, you can appreciate their
hard toll. No part of your state, how
ever rough it may be, can compare with
Chambers Valley, Penn, forty years
ago. With the exception of Andover
ley, Penn, was among the earlier
places settled by our people; except if
you go back to 1871, when the
Swedes settled on the coast of Penn
sylvania and Delaware, where Phila-
delphia now stands, then you will find
some very interesting and instructive
reading. Now, think it safe to set
down the following indisputable facts
If you wish to bring parts of your state
into activity and high state of cult
walton, procure Swedish settlers. If
you wish to infuse a law-abiding, in
telligent and thrifty race into your
population, get Swedish settlers. If
you desire to encourage morality,
Christianity and high state of citizen
ship, encourage the Swedes to come in.
If you want a hardy, peerless, healthy
population that is certain to prosper. as
well as the community in which they
live, by all means get the Swedes."

Letter from a Native Swede.

Among the letters received by Com
missioner Valentine regarding the pro-
posed plan of Swedish colonization for
Vermont is one from prominent
physician of Providence, r. l., who
styles himself Swede by birth and
an American by faith" who has made
a special study of the questions that
lead to a prosperous and healthy
growth and assimilation of foreigners
with the common nation. 1t is believed,
therefore, that his opinions are entitled
to great weight; and the following ex-
tract from his letter will undoubtedly
be of general interest: " If we look into
the question of immigration with an
impartial eye, basing our opinion of
the immigrants solely on their virtues
when arriving to our shores, the con-
ditions under which they have lived,
their general appearance, socially and
intellectually, as well as their history
OF the past, we find that there are no
foreigners who present better appear
ance than the Scandinavans, Swedes,
Norwegians, Danes and Icelanders.
Coming from countries that have up
held and maintained political and re-
ligious liberty and free thought for
over two hundred years; where great
and gifted men have been plenty
strong in religion, with excellent
schools that make them rank among
the highest in the world, and where
ninety-seven per cent of the population
of to-day can both read and write, such
people must be valuable addition to
any community. They come to the
American shore with earnest intentions
to be useful citizens in their new
adopted land. The only stumbling
block that lies in their way is the
language, but nowadays English, Ger
man and FRENCH are taught in the
Swedish schools side by side with other
common branches, and travellers in

That Colonization Scheme.

The successful carrying out of this
scheme would only increase the pro-
duction in the state of that which we
already have too much. We suffer
from over-production of agricultural
products, or, rather, from inability
profitably to dispose of them. There
are two obvious reasons for this state
of affairs. In the first place, crops can
not be grown here under our system of
farming as cheaply as upon the new,
fertile and level prairies of the West.
But that is not the worst of it. The
difference in cost of production here
and in the West ought naturally to be
made up to us by the advantage arising
out of our nearness to the manufacture
inc centers, where surplus products of
West and East alike are consumed.
The competition of the lines of railway
across the continent has, however, put
the West on an equality or ahead of
the East in the matter of marketing its
products. In other words, we derive
no benefit from our proximity to the
consuming centers, while we are at a
disadvantage as compared with the
West in point of cost of production.
Hence agriculture with us is not as
profitable pursuit as it should be, and
it is hard to see how adding to the pro-
duction of products which pay no profit
to the producer can enhance the pros
perity of the state. Whether the great
trunk lines can continue indefinitely to
afford so low rates from West to East
as now prevail is a question full of in.
terest. to us of the East, but so long as
the low rates are given, the farmers OF
the East must see their legitimate
markets filled with western products
Our only hope, then, at least for the
time being, is not in producing more
but in creating market of our own
that can be reached at a rate which
will leave the producer fair profit
This means, of course, the establish
ment in the state of manufactures, the
employees of which shall consume the
surplus products of our farms. Will
more people at home to feed, agricul
tural pursuits will yield better returns
and when it comes about that tillage o
lands under cultivation pays a decen
profit to the tiller, then the abandoned
farms will be sought for and will be re
claimed without the assistance of Com
missioner Valentine or anybody else
Encouragement of manufactures, no
of agriculture, is apparently the tru'
mission of the commissioner, if he ha
any mission at all.-Middlebury Regis

in Vermont the one great difficulty
that farming has to contend against,
high rates of freight. The Poultney
Journal, in an extract we republish,
furnishes a case in point, and there is
hardly manufacturing industry in the
state, particularly among the smaller
firms or companies, that is not placed
at disadvantage in respect of its
profits, or in competing with manufac-
turers outside the state, by the fact
that freight rates or shipping facilities,
and sometimes both, are against them
In creating an industrial bureau, Ver-
mont has begun at the right point to
surmount the difficulties that beset her
She is not alone among the Eastern
states in her situation. All have aban-
doned farming lands which all desire
to have repeopled and returned to pro-
duction. Vermont is leading the way
in an experiment the results of which
will be awaited with interest here and
elsewhere. All depends now upon the
judgment of Mr. Nordgren after he has
examined the lands. If his opinion is
favorable, measures will be taken to
bring over colony of Swedes i'll the
spring. Whatever the issue of this
particular plan, the bureau should be
continued and sustained, and some
profit must in the end accrue to the
state from systematic and persistent
efforts to advance her industrial in

cestral home for pioneer life. AT any
rate, it seems reasonable that if they
had applied to the management of these
deserted farms the intelligent effort
and the continuous industry which they
put forth in new places, they would
have found fortunes nearer home, and
central Vermont to-day would be found
to be one of the best agricultural Sec
tons of New England. These Yer
mont farms are not differently situated
from the same farms in towns like
Campton in New Hampshire, and in
that town, where farming is the only
means of subsistence, it is difficult to
find farmer who is not in good cir
cumstances. The remote districts,
where good land nestles in and around
the hills, have fortunes in store for
those who have sufficient energy to Sc
cure them, and it is only awaiting the
incoming of such honest and faithful
citizens as the Swedes have proved
themselves to be elsewhere to blossom
like the rose. Whoever converses with
the people in northern New England
who apply as much energy to farming
as they would to any other important
business, will find that farming in New
England, if not quite what it once was,
is still an occupation that is not to be
sneered at.-BOStOn Herald.

Swedish Colonies In Vermont.

The state where butter and cheese
most abound is, according to the re-
ports which Commissioner Valentine is
receiving from the local listers, in a
more deplorable condition than the
public was willing to believe. 1t did
not seem possible that in towns not far
from the market rich and fertile farms
could be had for less than So an acre,
and that fifty of these farms, contain
ing an average of 200 acres each, were
lying so near TO each other, in single or
adjoining towns, that a whole colony
of Swedes could be accommodated, to
their hearts content, in some of the
best sections of rural Vermont. But
actual reports from these districts show
that in the very center of that state the
depopulation has been so great that a
considerable part of the country, ad-
mirably adapted to agriculture, has long
since been growing up to forest aud
can now be had for song, with even
the buildings thrown in. This state of
things is deplorable, and it may be
reasonably doubted whether the people
who have abandoned these farms for
the far West have gained so much as
they anticipated when they left the an

The Colonization Scheme.

Commissioner Valentines late circu-
lar has evoked discussion and comment
from far beyond the limits of the state.
The scheme itself and phases of the
industrial situation in Vermont that
has at length enlisted state action are
the subjects of remark that is for the
most part distinguished by intelligence,
candor and sound sense, but often by a
lack of information or understanding,
if not of hostile feeling that is born
of narrow views or selfish motives.
We commend to the attention of our
readers the letter of native Swede
elsewhere in this issue. 1t is full of
encouragement, and its perusal will re-
move from the unprecedented mind OBJ
jections that are sometimes raised to
the commissioners proposal of means
to repeople the abandoned farms in
the state.
The Middlebuy Register presents
considerations that we have often
pressed upon the people of Vermont.
The main difficulty that exists in the
transportation problem is beyond the
reach of Vermont's industrial bureau
or the Vermont Legislature. Remedial
means are possible, however, and one
practical plan of relief has heretofore
been suggested by the WATCHMAN's
agricultural editor-the adaptation by
the Vermont railways of the plan OF
butter shipments to the transportation
of other farm products. What the
Register says about the necessity fol
creating here in Vermont more con
sumers of farm products is full of prac
tical wisdom. We understand that thu
act creating the industrial commits
sion contemplates just what the Regis
ter urges. Certainly the early friend
and advocates of the measure had pre-
cisely this in view, and Commissions
Valentine will undoubtedly give thi
branch of his duties his earnest atten
ton, all in due time. He has been blu
about six months in office, and his la
bors during that period have been mel
ther few nor devoid of perpleXing diff
culties. But manufacturing encounter
