Mr.. Blaine's letter to Senator Hale
is in the line of argument of the one
sent to the President some days ago,
and shows the Spanish discrimination
against American flour in the sugar
producing islands. Mr. Blaine does
not antagonize the Mckinley bill, as
the Democrats would make the coun-
try believe; on the contrary, says:
g The tariff bill pending in the Senate
is just a measure, and most of it's
provisions are in accordance with the
wise policy of protection" But he
would suggest one change, and that
to strike sugar from the free list I'M
less Spain will allow American -four
in its markets on the same basis.
As Mr.. Blaine says, "With nearly
500, 100000 worth of sugar seeking
our market every year, we shall prove
ourselves unskilled legislators if we
do not secure a larger field for the sale
and consumption of our breadstuffs
and provisions. "Our field of COM
mon development and progress lies
south of u.s." Mr.. Blaine is in earnest
in his desire that America shall i'm
prove it's opportunity, and every
lover of prosperity will say Amen to
that.

The Fight Not Over.

The battle cries of the winning
forces in the last state campaign have
been economy in state eXpendi-
lures" and independence of corpor-
ate control" The people of Vermont
rallied under these calls and won Tor
themselves a marked victory at the
caucuses and at the convention. 1t
was evident that the time was ripe
for new deal, and the masses, who
have hitherto remained in innocuous
desuetude kindly letting the profess
sional politicians act as their proxies
in caucuses and elsewhere, were for
once, alive to the fact that if they
would do anything toward retrench-
ment or toward emancipation from
ring or corporate influence they must
be up and doing, and the result re-
vealed their strength. The battle,
however, is but half over. Ii Mr..
Page goes into the governors office
handicapped by legislature that is
not in sympathy with the main issues
of the campaign he can do little to-
ward fulfilling the expectations OF his
friends. On the other hand, if men OF
sound views on these crucial ques-
lions are sent by the people as their
representatives to Montpelier, the
hard fought battle will be carried on
to full and complete victory. Vot-
ers of Vermont, see to it, that the
right men represent you. The execu-
tive can do little unless supported by
wise and conservative law makers and
if the same demand for reform, along
the lines mentioned, is made promi-
nent in the town elections in securing
the right kind of men, with the right
kind of views, the politicalm millennium,
so far as Vermont is concerned, will
not be far away. Unless this is at
tended to, we may as well hang our
harps by the rivers of Babylon and
sit us down and weep even in the flush

If it had, an effort would of course
be made to capture the sword. AS it

ton can they go than for Capt.

A Leading Question.

"The Democratic press is particu-
larry vehement just at present IN
commiserating American farmers on
the hardships to which they are sub
lected by the tariff which protects
their wool, potatoes, vegetables and
dairy products from foreign cOmpeti-
tion," says the Boston Journal cit
is noticeable, however, that none of
our Democratic contemporaries cite
the advantages which the farmers
have obtained by the Inauguration
of IA free trade policy in England. If
our contemporaries are anxious for
would respectfully refer them to a re-
cent article in the London Times, dis
cussing the state of English agricul-
ture. Between 1869 and 1889 more
than four and half million English
acres were given over to grass.
"In 1869, 1875 acres out of every
100 in the British Isles were devoted
to permanent pasture. In 1889, 55.S
acres out of 100 were being utilized
for that purpose. Meanwhile more
than a third of the acreage devoted
to wheat had gone out of cultivation.
The number of farm horses had de-
creased 10000 and the number of
sheep 100000. These are a few of
the things which free trade has done
for the English agriculturists. Let
our Democratic. contemporaries cite
these figures if they will, and then ask
the American agriculturists if they
want to try the same experiment. F"

FREE TEXT BooKs.-The Caledonia
county Republicans callfor the adop-
ton of the free text book system in
their platform adopted at the recent
county convention. 1t would seem
that the world edo move" if but
slowly The Journal advocated the
adoption of free text books six and
eight years ago. The house of repre-
sentatives passed bill providing for
the same by an overwhelming vote
six years ago, but the senate defeated
the same by one vote a few days lat
err. Since then but little attention
has been paid to the subject. The
town of Hartford adopted this COM
mon sense system many years ago.
A very few towns followed her exam
pie this spring. 1t is to be hoped
that the example of the Republicans
of Caledonia will be followed by those
in other counties yet to hold their
conventions The system can be
adopted none too early. 1t means a
saving to Vermonters of over fifty
per cent of the amount they are now
annually expanding for text books,
and an increased usefulness of our
public schools. Yes, let free text
books be had, the sooner the better.

He is also the sire of 10 dams that
have produced 81 that are in the $50
list. George Wilkes leads the world
as a sire of $50 trotters. Mambrino
Wilkes, sire of Thomas Dixon, is the
sire of r. NJ Wilkes 2-25A, and Ar
thur Wilkes 2-22b, and several others

famous George Wilkes to come to
this county to remain for breeding
purposes; and if he proves asgood as
his breeding indicates, he will be lib

different candidates for the different Offices in

Brown of Belvidere, was for some reason left
out of the list as his name was mentioned in

County Politics.

The Republican county convention
comes off next week Tuesday But
little has come to our knowledge the
past week concerning the various
offices and the candidates therefor
The Senatorial question is far from
settled. The omission, accidently, of
the name of Hon. Jas. Brown, of Bel
videre, in last week issue brings out
a letter from his friends which is
given elsewhere. They ncethat
Mr.. Brown is still in the field and
that Belvidere will be heard from at
the convention. The name of Hon.
E. P. Mudgett, of Cambridge, is also
mentioned as a candidate for SEN
ator
There now appears to be no special
opposition to the nomination of w.
H. H. Kenfeld as Judge of Probate.
On all sides he is conceded as the best
available man for the place.
Johnson will probably ask for the
nomination of Judge Andrews as
Assistant Judge, and the friends of
Milo Burnell are confident of his re-
nomination as a candidate for the
Shrievalty A letter endorsing W. H.
Parker for Senator, Mr.. Kenfield for
Probate Judge, and Geo. NJ. Powers
for States Attorney is given in
another column.

the best men are selected to represent
you at the convention.

Senator HaWley No Pessimist.

In his Fourth of July address at
Mr.. Bowen's celebration at Wood
stock, Conn, Senator Hawley severe
ly criticised the pessimistic remarks
of Bishop Potter at Harvard com
mencement, saying:
"While we all welcome criticisms
applied in a firm but loving spirit to
the evils that inevitably develop at
times, deeply deplore to hear men
of eminent position and scholarly at
tainments speaking hopelessly of this
great and wonderful nation this
good nation, as | believe it to be
picking up incidental occurrences and
slight tendencies among small frag-
ments of the people," He denied that
the bill passed by the Senate for the
relief of soldiers and sailors incapaci-
tated for performance of labor could
lead to any deplorable results, and
continuing, said:
at is not true, as Bishop Potter
asserts, that under any of the pro-
posed legislation can every skulking
camp follower and deserter who has
the effrOntery to demand q pension
come in. That is not true, and it is
slanderous and mischievous to make
such a statement. | suppose the
good bishop was thinking of the bill
to give arrears of pensions to sol
diers, which the Senate very properly
defeated; or he might have had in
mind the bill to pension every man
who was a prisoner of war, or the bill
to declare pension payable to every
man who served for thirty or ninety
days. But let me assure the bishop
that the Congress which he talks
about being ready to give pension
to every skulking deserter will not
act foolishly When the war ended
the interest on the public debt was
$151 100000 year Now that in
terest and the pensions together only
amount to $1SO,OOO,OO0, and our
century has doubled in population
and wealth. l believe it is a pretty
good country, and it is about time
these pessimists stopped talking"

AN Observation-Disclosures Miller
the Supreme Court, has written to a
Methodist clergyman in Iowa, per-
sonai friend, a letter giving his reason
for his decision on the "Original
Package" case. 1t contains the fol-
lowing: Il venture to hope that |
shall not wholly forfeit your esteem
because, in obedience to that sense of
conscientious duty which | have no
doubt prompts you in this matter, |
have felt bound to follow the decision
made by this court more than sixty
years ago, which has never been
doubted or disputed from that day
to this. Many people, like you, |
think, have the idea that the Supreme
Court is oath-bound in it's decisions
by the views they have of abstract
moral right. But we are as much
sworn to decide according to the Con-
stitution of the United States as you
are bound by your conscience to a
faith in the Bible"

There are 10000 members of the
Kansas Farmers Alliance, and from
an investigation conducted by the
officers of the organization it appears
that only 1900 members have
farms unincumbered. and the major
ity of these are carrying mortgages
or chattels. Against these 1900
owners of unincumbered farms are
p, 700 men who rent farms, many of
which were formerly owned by them,
but have been lost through foreclos-
ure. The remainder A, 900 hold
farms subject to mortgage claims
aggregating $146, 563, 134 and the

them have defaulted on their interest,
and may be sold out at any time

The system inaugurated by the

children of New York chance to
spend a few days in the country and
get a Whit of fresh air, is a most
worthy one. 1t is no experiment, but
has been in practice several years and
is managed entirely by the Tribune.
On July 18th, a large number of poor
but worthy children were sent up
among the hills of Vermont and plac-
ed in pleasant homes where they are
now enjoying a brief vacation. The
fund for sending these children into
the country is raised by voluntary
subscription which, with the low rates
obtained from the railroads, enables
the Tribuneto perform this great and
good work. 1t is with pleasure that
we note that Lamoille county has
shown great interest in this enter
prise, and within many of the homes

which ever issued from the lips of a

ject was 'They Have Eyes and Ears"

Her object was to exhibit the meth
DDS by which the chlld is taught to
put soul and life into all inanimate
objects, and to see with an under
standing eye all that came within his
actual vision. Without givinga YER

to describe the perfume of arbutus.
