A jamestown, North Dakota dis
patch says that the elevator men in
that State have come to an agreement
refusing the use of their elevators to
farmers for the storage ofgrain, as has
been their custom heretofore, and hence
the 40, 1000, 600 bushels of product win
have to be rushed on the market for
lack of other storage. Thereason Civ
en- for this extraordinary action Is that
the farmers are held responsible for the
new law making elevators pay an an
nual license of 81 30 for each 100, 900
bushels capacity. If this Is true it
means great suffering to the farmers of
North Dakota, whose crops are gener-
ally said to be mortgaged to the eleya-
tor syndicate for seed wheat and i an
outrageous swindle. That is one Of
the difficulties the farmers in the west
nave to contend with, the grasping
greed Of the monopolists. The lot Of
the average western farmer Is far hard
er than tnat of farmers in this State.

The Rutland Herald has inaugural
ed an enterprise which cannot fail to
be of great interest to all friends of
the National Guard Of Vermont, and
an encouragement which the organiza-
tion merits. The Herald will on the
last day of the muster at Bradford,
present a valuable sword costing 5000
10 the officer who shall receive the
largest no. OF votes on special coupons
printed in the Herald. Everyone can vote
early and often, the only restriction
being that it must be on a special cou-
pom cut from the Herald and for a
captain or lieutenant Of the Vermont
National Guard. The organization is
worthy of this handsome prize and the
prize is worthy of the Vermont soldiers.

Fne Federal Election Bill.

Lodges Election bill, which passed
the House sometime ago gets along
slowly in the Senate. Its passage by
that body looks a little doubtful. If il
passes il viii be changed somewhat.
1t ought not to be changed materially
The bill is what the country needs.
1t ought to become law, and we find
these reasons for the "ought" lst, Ii
is bitterly opposed by the democratic
and mugwump papers. The laws that
protect best against stealing find least
favor with thieves. 2nd, The negroes
of the South, are, in one way or anoth-
er deprived of their ballots, whenever
or wherever their use will interfere with
the schemes Of the whites. They have
the same rights under the Constitution
Of the United States that the whites
possess and ought to be protected in the
exercise of them. The Lodge bill aims
TO do this. 3rd. II is measure of
justice that the country owes the color
ed man, il for no other reason, for the
part he took in the preservation Of the
Union. 4th. As affairs are now man
aged in the South that portion Of the
country has a representation in Con-
gress much larger than it is entitled TO.
This bill will bring in proper adjust
ment Of relations and give each part of
the country just representation. 9TH.
The bill aims to carry out the pledges
which the republican party made TO the
colored race when il raised the negroes
to the rank of citizens of the republic.
1t is stringent measure, and il il be-
comes a law and is properly enforced
will do more to give the negro his Just
dues as a voter than any measure Con-
gress has passed. The bill is objected
TO, lst, Because il is aimed at the South
II is designed 10 apply where it is need
ed. If the South needs it the most SO
much the worse for the South. 2nd.
1t is said that it viii stir up sectional
feelings. None are so sensitive about
Just measures as those who know them
selves to be in the wrong. The South
was always anxious to be left to itself
to work out its plans to rule the coun-
try. 1t exhibits the same spirit that il
in the days Of slavery. Its
method of treating the negro ballot is
an outrage against every voter in the
country. Let sectional feelings be stir
red up. The country cannot afford to
submit to great wrongs continually lest
somebody's feelings be injured. 3rd,
1t is said the provisions OF the bill can
not be carried out Perhaps not, but
if this Government is not strong enough
to protect its citizens in the exercise OF
their rights as freemen the sooner we
find il out the better. The North does
not want another passage-at-arms with |
the South, but it will not keep calm
until every man secures such Justice as
ihe General Government can give.

As rule, nowadays, the more corn
and potatoes and coarse crops general
" that the farmers raise, the poorer
they make themselves. To be sue
cessful, the Vermont farmer must de-
vote himself to dairying, stock raising
and market t-gardening, in any one of
which branches there is an indefinitely
wide field, free from overmastering
competition. st. Johnsbury Republic
can.
OF all the editorial rot we have late
ly read the above takes the cake.
Talk of dairying when the creameries
of Iowa, Illinois and the great West
can lay their fine butter in Boston and
New York at almost the same rate the
Vermont farmer can and when extra
choice butter brings only lsc. in mar
ket and first class DAIRY II to l3c.
Talk of stock raising when beef has
not been so low for years as now. As
to market gardening possibly there is
profit in that now, but would there be
if all the farmers went into it:

ty. Why not be honest, and own up
that it was L. p. Thayer who was the
''first choice" of the Herald and News .

The HERALD was for George Crane,
till he took himself out of the field and
requested his friends not to work for
him, because we thought him the best
man that could be named. Our ''o'er-
weening ambition" does not blind us TO
the fact that there are many better
men in this county, for Senator, and
among them, we placed George Crane.

MERCHANDIsE IN BOND.
The shipment OF American Consign-
ments Over Canadian Railways.

WAsHINGroS, Aug. 6.-Secretary Win
dom to-day sent to the senate letter in
answer to the resolution calling upon
him for information regarding the ship
ment in bond of merchandise between
Atlantic and Pacific ports over Canadian
railways. The secretary says that mer-
chandise in bond, appraised and unap-
praised, and goods OF domestic origin,
are forwarded over these railroads
under bond by American common
carriers and that trans.shipment
is made under the SUPERVISION
of the United States officers, vino certi-
fy the facts upon the manifest. The
secretary then quoted the authority un-
der which such transportation is per-
mitted, and expresses the opinion that,
as under the regulation of the depart
ment, American vessels only are allowed
to be employed in Transporting the
goods, the laws of the coasting trade
are not violated, He further says that
he has no knowledge that the Grand
Trunk railroad has violated the revenue
or coasting laws of the United States in
transporting merchandise between
places in the United States.

An Old Claim.

Jean Thiery, a rich merchant and
ship owner in the Rhine provinces,
died in 1876, leaving a fortune of
$4,000 louis dor in Paris and $780,
600 thalers in the Venice mint. His
heirs from some unknown reason
did not draw the money from the
depository in Venice, so at the end
OF the last century Napoleon found
1t still untouched and appropriated
1t to the use of his army. For the
last thirty years the descendants of
Thierry have been trying to find a
way of recovering the 500, 900 thalers
with interest. Three weeks ago
they all met In Cologne aud re-
solved TO send their lawyers TO Paris
to move the French government to
pay over an indemnity. 1t was
said that the French chambers had
already considered their claims and
advised the government to pay
them.

WHAT BLAINE MEANT.
Senator Frye Defends His
Recent Letter.
NOT AN ATTACK ON The TARIFF.
Free Sugar the Only Point of Dis
agreement-The "Original
Package" Bill

WAsHfNaroN Aug. 6-The senate to-
day resumed the consideration OF the
tariff bill, the pending question being ON
the amendment to the paragraph with
regard TO iron ore.
Mr.. German resumed his argument
and spoke at great length in favor of a
red duction of duty on Bessemer ore, hav-
ing In the course of his remarks colo
auies with Messrs. Sherman, Cullom,
Spooner, Blair and other senators.
Mr.. German said that with the reduc-
tion OF the duty on foreign Bessemer
ores, the result would be that steel ships
could be built as cheaply in Baltimore
as on tho clyde. With that advantage,
he said, the prediction of the great re-
publican secretary of state would be
verified.
Mr.. Frye--The secretary of state has
been quoted several times. The
senator is arguing that the Mckinley
bill does not in any of its features open
up markets. Now, the secretary OF
state was dealing in that letter OF his
entirely with foreign and not with home
markets. | do not understand that in "a
protective tariff there is an especial pur-
pose to open up foreign markets. 1t is
the purpose of protective tariff to crc-
ate home market, which is worth in
finitely more than any foreign
market, and that was undoubtedly the
understanding of the secretary
of state, and not his purpose to reflect
at all on tho Mckinley bill, except so
far as there was nothing in 1t intended
the open up foreign markets, and he de-
sired to have something put in 1t in the
way of reciprocity by which foreign
markets might be opened up.
Mr.. Gray spoke of the remarkable
gloss put by MIR. Frye on Mr.. Baine's
letter, and he went on to read extracts
from the letter to show that Mr.. Fryo's
Interpretation of it is hot natural or
correct one.
Mr.. Frye stated, in reply to Mr.. Gray,
that MIR. Blaine had criticised the bill III
simpln one regard--the provision max
ing sugar free. In his judgment, Mr..
Blaine had simply criticised IL because
the free sugar provision was not accom-
panied with provision that would open
up the markets of the South American
countries TO the products of American
farms. There was no other criticism
made by MIR, Blaine on the Mckinley
bill, and he himself sympathized strong
ly in that criticism.
Mr.. Gibson denied the statement that
'tis i'Ahiiis . W
alone, and asserted that 1t referred also
to hides and wool and ores. The
secretary of state stood committed,
Mr.. Gibson said, to broad policy OF
with the South American |
md Central American states.
Mr.. Morgan withdrew his amendment !
in order to allow MIR. German TO offer |
M amendment reducing the duty ON |
ron ore from T5 TO 80 cents per ton.
Mr.. Plumb moved to amend the /
amendment by making the rate 90 |
,entS.
Mr.. German accepted the amend
nent.
he amendment was rejected---ayes,
II noes, 30
The paragraph was then agreed to as
'eported from the finance committee.
Mr. Vance moved to reduce the duty |
IN pig iron, the next paragraph, from |
80 OF n cent per pound to IS ton.
Without disposing of the amendment |
he senate adjourned.

shipping ore from the Fourth of
