To this Senator Edmunds replied in sub
stance that while he was not able to hold
out any distinct encouragement to expect
further legislation by Congress in reference
to oleomargarine during the present session,
he recognized the force of the considera-
tions presented, and that he had forwarded
Col. Woodbury's letter to the finance com
mittee, to which such matters specially be-
long, for their consideration and instruc-
ton.
The matter may or may not result in
something Of practical value to our dairy
interests; but it at least shows that Col.
Woodbury. is alive to those interests, and
that he can be trusted to further them

OF Interest to the Farmers

AS considerable labor has been expended
in en- effort to present Mr.. Page as pre-
eminently the farmers candidate for gov
ernor, the price of green hides to the con-
trary Notwithstanding, it may be well to
remind our farming readers that Colonial
Woodbury. is himself farmer-the owner
and operator for many years of a large
farm in Lamoille county, with a dairy Of
forty cows, and keenly interested in the
management thereof, and in the practical
problems which face our Vermont farm
ers every day. His effective advocacy of
protection OF our dairy interests against
the bogus butter makers, and the gen
eral approval accorded to his speech in
that behalf at the meeting of the Yer
mont Dairymen's association (of which
he is a member) in 1888, will be remem-
bered by many Of the farmers and dairy
men. His efforts in that direction have
not ceased with the passage of the eX-
istDg oleo laws. He recently addressed a
letter to Senator Edmunds, in which he
| said:
The discussion of the tariff seems to have so
absorbed the attention of Congress that one
matter of great Importance to New England
and to Vermont, especially, has not been
| much, if at all, considered. | believe fully in
| protecting our manufacturing industries, but
| | believe that our farmers are fully as needful
| of protec ion, and it is very evident to me that
! something must be done by Congress for their
| relief on disastrous results will follow. When
| farm labor is $50 or more per month and but
ter is 10 cents per pound there can DO but one
| result TO dairy farming. No one desires to re-
| duce the price of labor but the value of dairy
| products should be increased How can this
be doneY Not by the imposition of greater
import duty, though it might have little cf
feet. The remedy in my opinion is in placing a
| larger tax upon uleomargarlne, or bogus butter
| There should be a tax of 10 cents per pound
| upon it to give butter an equal chance with it,
The only argument against such tax that has
| any appearance of fairness Is that the cheap
ness of oleO Is a blessing to the poorer classes
| but this il entirely falacious. In which is
| there more benefit to the consumer, one dollars
worth of pure ermout butter or the same
value of oleoT score or so of millionaire
manufacturers of oleo are coming millions in

The leading speech in the Senate Monday
on the silver question was by Mr.. Morril
of Vermont. He stood where every body
who knew him expected he would stand-in
opposition to the silver bill and for honest
money. His speech, an extended abstract
of which appeared in yesterdays FREE
PRESS, deservedly commanded close atten-
ton, was delivered in clear voice and
with great deal of energy, and could be
plainly heard throughout the chamber.
The venerable Vermont SENATOR though
past four score years, is evidently not past
his usefulness.

Last week the st. Johnsbury Caledonian
asserted that Col. u. NJ. Mansur, DEPART
ment commander G.. A. r. of Vermont,
was unduly using his official position
among the old soldiers to promote the can
didacy of Mr. Woodbury.. Colonial Mansur
promptly and squarely denies the same in a
ringing letter to the Caledonian, of which
the following is a copy
To the EdUor Of the 81. J0hHSbu1J CdlcdOHidu.
In your issue of the 22d inst I find an article
entitled Not Political Machine in which
it is stated that the commander of Grand
Army post in Caledonia county received a let
ter from n friend of Col. Woodbury. urging
him to use his influence with his post to swing
1t into line in support of the lieutenant-gove =
nor ambition for promotion. In commenting
thereon you state that hundreds of the old
soldiers feel that it is time TO call halt when
the Office of department commander is used
for elcctioneering purposes etc.
Were his criticism directed at me ne an Old
soldier simply, should not trouble you with n
reply, prefcrring to let it pass said in the
heat of campaign and, though devoid of
truth. soonest mended' by remaining unnO-
ticed. This privilege, however, is denied me
in the present instance, for duty to my com
radcs in The Grand Army of the Republic who
have placed me in my present position, as well
as Jealous regard for the pest interests of the
order in this department and elsewhere, con
strains me to say that the article in question
whether directly or inferentially, is wholly
truth 80 Lar rs IL relates 10 me, as Tue
Office OF department comma der has not been
used for electiOneering purposes-the Gale
DOMAIN to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Permit mo to say in conclusion, and II is q
point which must not be lost sight of in con
nccton with matters political and otherwise
that II memter of the q. \. Il. does not neces
sarlY become a moral. social a political
noncntity by reason of his membership in the
organization. He is sti a citizen of the state
and of the United States, and the right OF

Look ont for the Caucuscs.

The recommendation Of the republican
State committee that the town caucuses to
elect delegates to the State convention be
called on a fixed date-that of June 18th
was generally approved; and it has been
understood that it would be generally fol-
lowed by the town committees. 1t appears,
however that in various towns the town
committees have disregarded the suggestion
Of the State committee, and have called the
caucuses at an earlier date. 1t is noticea-
bic that in every such case, which has come
to our knowledge the town happens to he
one in which Mr.. Page is supposed to be
particularly strong. 1t is fair Inference
that the hurrying up of the caucuses in
these cases is pursuant to instructions from
Hyde Park, and that the crafty politician
who is engineering the canvass in his OWL
behalf expects to use the results which may
be secured in his favor by this snap game
to influence other doubtful towns. Fore
warned is forarmed and the Yer
mont republicans are less intelligent
than we suppose if they can bc
turned from their purpose by the
result of premature and packed caucuses il
few picked towns. We use the tern
| packed advisedly. We have seen one Of
the latest of Mr.. Pages 'confidentialn cir
culars, in which he personally urges tn,
man addressed to canvass every school dis
trict in his town and get out page men
to the caucus, He justifies this extraor
binary course by the allegation that Col
Woodbury. is making ''still hunt" NJ
assertion could be more unfounded. 1
there was ever a square, above board, oper
canvass in this State, in behalf of a candi
date for governor, il is the one which Col
Woodbury's friends have conducted. Their
has been no teasing; no confidential circular
begging letters; no trickery; no use o
money, no unusual methods employed in hi
behalf. All that he and his friends desir
is a fair and full expression Of the prefer
ences Of the voters; and all they ask for is
full attendance at the caucuses and tina
delegates who shall reliably represent tn
will of the majority be chosen. By an
verdict so secured they will be content t
abide.
Let the honest minded rank and file O
the party see to it that their will is no
defeated by wire pulling and manipulation
or by any remissness on their own part
This matter will be decided in the tow
caucuses

II the fact that citizen is crippled vet

consideration, even 20 years after the war

To the Editor Of the Free Press;
As suitable candidate for senator from
the north side of the river allow me to sug
gest the name of S. a. Brownell, esq, of
Essex. He is thorough Vermonter be-
lieves in devoting his energies and his means
to the development OF business here, and
shows N Wy employing moro men in his
milling and other business than any other
man in the county outside of Burlington,
He has had experience in the Legislature,
and as n member of the last House became
known as a careful, pains taking and able
legislator. He has the confidence of the
people of the county, and can be relied on
to support such legislation as the welfare OF
the State demands. "VoTER.n

Hi Atkins and High License.

After the adjourn ment of the late demo-
cratic State convention an impromptu jest
was started by an irreverent locker on,
which took at once and passed from one to
another and became a by-word, TO wit:
that there seemed to be nothing left of the
democracy but Iii Atkins and high license.
1t seems a pity to take out the pith of this
alliterative pun, but the truth of history
must not be sacrificed toa bon mot. BY re-
ference to the resolution adopted by the
convention it will be seen that nothing was

said about a high license, but in opposition
to the present prohibitory law the conven-
ton declared itself in favor of stringent
local license law in its stead' Now this
word stringent" is quite elastic. Clearly
the resolution does not necessarily mean II
high license, nor can we suppose that the
convention intended that the license should
be SO high that the average citizen could
not get high except at an exoribtant and
unreasonable expense.
