sWEDEs IN VERMONT.

some time ago the attention Of the whole
country was attracted TO scheme which
the authorities of Vermont had under adj
Nisement, namely, the importation OF Swedos
to settle the lands in that state which had
been deserted by their owners, or which
had passed out Of cultivation on account OF
the extreme depression in every branch Of
agriculture. This scheme was not simply
agitated, but was carried out with prompt
ness and energy. 4 commissioner was sent
to Sweden, and a very large number OF
Swedes were secured from a class which was
accustomed to till soil which was not un-
like that Of Vermont in its comparative
barrcnness. Special attention was paid to
the character Of the proposed immigrants,
only those families being selected which
showed good capacity in agricultural pur-
suits Brought free OF expense to Vermont,
uhey were placed upon the farms which had
been allowed TO fall out Of cultivation, and
every advantage which the authorities of
the State could offer, or assistance which
they could confer, was granted to the new
settlers.
From recent disclosures it would appear
rs If they had become profoundly dissatis-
fed with the conditions by which they are
surrounded. Many families have already
abandoned their farms and moved 10 the
lumber regions upon the borders Of Canada
and Maine, where they will be in position
10 secure profitable employment. The fam
lilies that remain are showing such uneasi-
ness and discomfort that it will not be long
before they will follow the example Of the
families which have moved away.
No detailed explanation Of this step on
the part Of these swedish immigrants has
been given, but il is due very probably to
the contagious dissatisfaction which pre-
walls among the. American members Of the
agricultural classes by whom they are sur
rounded; also, 10 the very poor outlook for
the crops in the ground and 20 some extent,
perhaps 10, hOmesickness. To whatever ii
il 10 be attributed, the scheme Of settle
ment from which Vermont expected so
much, has already proved a melancholy
failure, and there is now no prospect OF
that state building up its waste agricultu-
raj places.

There are Complaints all over the city

As "paralyZer" in politics, the FARM
ers' Alliance is an undisputed and indis-
putable success. I'm the states of Mime
sofa, South Dakota and Kansas OF the Re
publican Northwest, and Alabama. GeorSia
and south Carolina of the Democratic south,
the farmers are threatening serious results
To- the dominant party. Other states ll
each section are more or less affected, a-
Tennessee and North Carolina, and North
Dakota and Nebraska. The farmers dis
content is acute and accommodating.
Feeling aggrieyed, they strike at the
nearest objcct-in Republican States at
the Republican organization; in the Dem
Ocratic states at the Democratic Organiza-
ton. The cry Of the agricuturst is for re-
lief. Somehow and soon he means to have
il or know the reason why. These ebulli-
lions are symptoms Of economical distem-
per and political fever. The nOstrums ofthc
political doctors are rejected. The people
are losing confidence in the old ways and
the new ones they invent are a. yet purely
experimental. The body polite will get
properly physicked by-and-by and every
thing will 90 on smoothly for a time Mean
time the politicians wish that this after-a-
while was right now.

MFN Of flexible consciences readily adapt
their moral views 10 whatever situation
they happen to find themselves in for the
moment. and this is especially characters
tic Of bitterly-partisau politicians. Reed
who is Justly regarded now As the most de-
termincd opponent of free Parliamentary
speech ever known in the history Of this
country. gave expression some years ago to
the most correct and enlightened scnti-
ments with regard 10 the necessity for an
untrammeled debate Of all public questions
in Congress. In the Chautauquan Maya
zine for June. 1886, he declared "that fun,
free and frank discussion is the very life of
intelligent action. Nobody knows every
thing: most people know something. Men
are circumscribcd in their knowledge by
their various experiences. II all those who
know something on the subject assemble
their knowledge a sensible judgment can
be formed by those who listen. But there
has been in the country for the past half
century so many subjects Of bitter feeling,
involving bitter words that The tendency
10 suppress discussion in Congress by those
who have the power has reached point
where there ought to be a reaction is favor
Of frecr discussion"
Mr.. Reed closed the very able and con.
vincing article from which this brief eX.
tract is made by saying: unreasonable
and capricious suppression Of discussion is
tyranny. whether done bya king or by q
majority"
This sentiment will find a response in The
hearts of all true patriots, whether Demo
Gratis or Republicans.
