with his farm, say of 100 acres of land,
on the other side of the scale and ascer-
tain II we can the result. Within "a
hours railroad ride of Chicago the far
mer cannot get more than 10 cents a
bushel for his corn. He cannot raise on
the average OF years, year in and year
out, more than 15 bushels to the acre. He
cannot cultivate with his own hands
more than 90 acres, and, to do so much,
he must be aided by the approved modern
appliances, and horse power in some
form to do that. Therefore, it will be
seen at once, and think | have given the
largest possible value to the farmers
corn products-that the carpenter can
earn IL bushels of corn by days labor,
or in the year of 300 working days, 6400
bushels of corn, or $500 in money, the
purchaser buving the corn where the
farmer sells it. If there is any mistake
Ill my figures anywhere it is that no far
mer by his individual efforts, without the
use OF very expensive horsepower and
machinery to aid him for portion of the
year, can do the labor necessary for 80
acres of land and its crop, and if he hires
any additional labor it must come out of
what he raises. and in that case the labor
must be excessively cheap if he can make
any profit out Of it. Fifty acres yielding
10 bushels to the acre at u cents bushe
would be Sll2.50 for a farmers crop.
Another reply may he made that he need
not work mere than half of his time in
raising his corn and devote the remainder
of his time to taking care of himself and
his family and matters of that sort. The
farmer works lG hours a day when he
works at all, and that during half of his
time. The skilled mechanic works half
of his time for the whole year. taking
care OF himself and his family and i'm
proving his condition, otherwise, if he so
chooses, in the other half.

ELECTRIC LIGHT MATTERS.

Mr.. Wells arrived in town from Sandy
Hill on Monday evening. The stakes in
dicating the location of the line poles
have been driven, and the poles are
being prepared for setting. Yesterday
measurements were made to ascertain
how much line wire would be required.
At the woolen mill there is much activity.
The machinery has nearly all been re-
moved and the rest is being put in shape
for removal. A new floor will be laid
in the lower room and here the dynamos
will stand. The new penstock, wheel.
ETC., have been ordered and everything
indicates that before many weeks the
plant will be in full operation. The
company has fully organized, with Mr..
B. ). Beckwith as treasurer.
The air is full of rumors of a rival
company, but nothing of definite
character can be learned.

A HOME OPINION OF Mr.. BAToHELoER.
From the Bennington Reformer.

From the Bennington Reformer.I
If the friends of Judge Powers believe
that they are to have without an effort a
complete walkover in the pending con-
gressional race, they are proceeding from
fallacious premises.
They should be sure of their ground.
Judge Powers is man equal in stand
ing and intellect, though not In legisla-
tive experience, with Morrill, and Ed
munds. He is pure in character, polished
in department and in every way above
criticism. He has every qualification
tending to do honor to himself and to the
State desideratum that has hitherto
kept our commonwealth at the head of
the statehood in national legislative halls
He ought to have no competitor within
the Republican ranks.
But he has.
He has a competitor in man who is
without political scrnples, integrity or
high ability. James X. Batchelder who is
disputing the canvas, is political tricks
ter of the most pronounced type. He
travels from one end Of the congressional

district to the other from once to twice a
week. He meets and entertains and ca
rouses with the "boys." He calls upon.
argues and lays down on every man who
opposes him. He pleads his cause with
specious subterfuge, promises prodigally,
dickers on all sides and believes he is
smart.
Judge Powers is not that sort of man.
Judge Powers goes right along attend
ing to his judicial duties as though there
were no canvass pending. If his chance
for eternal salvation depended upon
methods peculiar to the Batchelder stripe
of politicians, he would never resort to
them.
Judge Powers is too highminded for
that.
Yes, justice to this estimable gentle
man, to honorable citizenship, to the
State and to the nation demand that Judge
Powers friends bestir themselves or a.
bandOn the canvas to the political dema-
gogue and trckster.
Then will the old commonwealth in
deed be fallen.

On the above basis towns in this county
will be entitled to REPRESENTATION as follows:
TIE MINOR STAIE OEEIoEs.

The contests for the governorship and
flor member of Congress have so fully oc-
|cupied the popular mind that but little
attention has been paid to the other of
fticials who will be nominated at the State
convention. 1t does not follow, how
ever, that the people as IA whole are not
thinking about them. There is grow
ing feeling that change should he made
all around. Mr.. Powell has been auditor
for a dozen years or more, Mr.. Dubois
has been treasurer nearly as long and
Mr.. Porter has had the place of secretary
of State since the famous campaign of
lSs4.
The two leading offices in the State
those of governor and lieutenant-gover-
hor-are essentially offices of honor. No
pne seeks them for the paltry salary at
fached. The other officials named are well
paid for their services, and there is no
good reason why the offices should not he
passed around. None of the positions
requires OF its occupant great learning.
Almost any ono of Ordinary ability can
10 the work acceptably. Honesty, courte-
Fey, good sense and a fair capacity for
more or less routine work are the princi-
pal qualifications demanded in the incum-
bent of any of the three offices. 1t can
not, therefore, justly be said by the
riends of those now holding them that
he welfare of the State or nation de-
bends in any degree upon their retention !;
md it may fairly be contended that if
persons having the qualities specified
want the offices, the ones holding them
hould be permitted to step down and

NOTE AND COMMENT.

An esteemed contemporary at Rutland
seems to be trying to distance itself in
printing misinformation about the politi-
cal situation in this town. The dissem-
ination of incorrect "news" is apparently
the strongest hold the Bennington coun-
ty candidate and his friends possess.
We publish in another column a notice
to the effect that Il recruiting office for
the army will be opened here about the
22d inst. 1t is theory of the secretary
of war that the makeup of the army and
its efficiency can be improved by getting
into the ranks a better class of men than
are found in the cities, and hence this
move.
No new charge has been brought
against either of the candidates for GOV
ernor for full week. The brethren
should bear in mind that the convention
will soon be along and that the golden
moments in which they must get in their
work are gliding swiftly by. Interest
in the campaign must be kept up, even
if truth is lost sight of in the effort.
Mr.. Gladstone is not altogether salts
fled with the situation as regards the
free-trade propaganda. In the course of
speech to the Golden club at London.
the other day, he said that free-traders
must recognize. with great disappoint-
ment, how much ground had been lost
by their doctrine within the last % years.
Protection was applied now in America,
not only to goods, but to persons, as was
instanced by the treatment of the Chi
nese. The great republic had never ac-
cepted the doctrines of free trade. On
looking over the world, the prospects of
free trade were certainly not encourage
ing.
The great question before the people of
this State, according to some of the news
papers, is how to reduce the expenses.
Democratic papers are particularly vo-
ciferous in enlarging upon this subject.
1t appears to be forgotten by all of these
would-be reformers that the chairman of
ti'r SohlihiItcc oh appropriations OI the
last House was the present secretary of
war, than whom no shrewder or more
economical business man can be found
in the State. 1t is extremely improbable
that he would be party to extrava-
gance. 1t is forgotten, too, that the pen
ny-wiSe and pound-foolish policy of pre-
ceding legislatures necessitated extraor-
dinary expenditures. The insane asylum
that is going up at Waterbury, for exam
pie, ought to have been built fifteen years
ago. Looked at as they are, the heavy
appropriations of two years ago are no
argument for or against any candidate
for State office; but they do show that
it is the part of wisdom to spend money
when it ought to be spent, and not wait
till absolute necessity compels the out
lay at some time when taxpayers are
poorly able to pay it.
