Gold And Silver.

Edward O. Leach, the Director of
the Mint, has submitted to Congress
a report on the production of the pre-
cious metals for the calender year
1889, from which the following fig
ures are taken:
The gold product of the United
States was l, ,587 700 fine ounces, Of
the value $32, 100000, against $685.
OOO,OO last year. The silver pro-
duct of our own mines for the year
was approximately 50,00O,000 fine
ounces, of the commercial value of $40
100000 and of the coinage value of
S64, GAG, ,464, against an estimated
product for 1888 of 45, ,783, ,632 fine
ounces, of the commercial value of
s43, ,O2O, 900 and of the coinage val
ue of S59,195, 900, an increase over
1888 of about 4,216,368 fine ounces
of the So, ,730, 700. About seven mil
lion ounces of silver was extracted
from lead ores imported into the Uni
ted States and smelted in this coun-
try, and over 100000 ounces from
base silver bars imported, principally
from Mexico, making the total pro-
duct of our mines, smelters and ref
neries about 100000 fine ounces
of silver. OF this amount the Gov
ernment purchased for coinage 81,
125, ,357 ounces. There were used in
arts about 6,0C0,000 ounces, there

day that is far greater than she is
entitled to on account of wealth or
population, for the sole reason that
she keeps senators Morrill, and Ed
munds in the senate, and has allowed
her representatives to grow up to
stalwart manhood by years of exper-
ience in the House.
All that can defeat Gen. Grout
will be the active work of Col. Hook
er and the enmity of a lot of dis
gruntled aspirants for certain post
offices. If the hundreds of soldiers
and other citizens who have received
special help from Gen. Grout and
the masses in the district who feel
that his efforts in congress have been
honest and helpful to their interests
will let their voices be heard, there
will be no danger of the Hookers or
Plumleys. Let the boys rattle round
the district, the General must attend to
the important duties of the House,
and those who think him the most
efficient man for the place must look
after his interests.

Don't Find Them.

Last week we asked Bro. Davis of
the Lyndonville Journal to trot out
the editorial or clipped articles which
he had published (Which favored
pensions or pension increases" )" He
seems to have hunted his files over
and found the following earnest and
able article in behalf Of pensions and
pension increase. 1t appears under
the significant caption "Tlme to
Halt :"
"According to the showing made by
Senator Hawley which appears in
another column the appropriations of
this congress are liable largely to ex-
ceed the revenue of the government.
This being the case is it not time to
stop such lavishness? The pension
bill which is enormously large and is
liable to be increased will be per-
manent demand on the government
This being the case is it not time to
stop such lavishness? The pension
bill, which is enormously large, and
is liable to be increased, will be a
permanent demand on the govern
ment for long time, and should be
promptly met. This and the ordina-
ry expenses of the government make
a large inroad upon its resources.
Beyond this extreme caution ought to
be exercised in regard to appropriate
ing money, and the exceeding of the
revenue in times of peace ought not
be thought Of
1t will take considerable ingenuity
to so read and interpret the above as
to derive the inference that Bro. Da-
Wis is arguing for pensions and pen
sion increases. We judge he thinks
it is "time to halt in any matter of
increase. Not until he can find some
thing in his paper which more emphat-
ically shows in itself that he favors
pensions and pension increases shall
we take him out of the list of those
who sigh and whine over the matter
of pensions.

The most sensational episode of the
Gould murder case occurred Wednesday
of last week, at Montpelier when Caswell
and Mrs Gould were married at the county
Jail, through the bars of the cell in which
Caswell was confined. III. A. Huse, Esq,
one of Caswell's counsel, accompanied
Mrs. Gould to the jail, and the ceremony
was performed by him, as a justice of the
peace. Frank Martin was present as a
witness to the marriage. The Wdtchmdn
says that neither Caswell nor Mrs. Gould
was affected in the least, and that aside
from the strangeness of the proceeding
and the place of its occurrence the NAL
riage did not differ from scores of similar
events. After Caswell and Mrs. Gould
had been pronounced man and wife they
talked about five minutes, and then Mrs.
Caswell returned with Mr.. Huse to the
office of the latter, from which little
later she set out for her home in East
Montpelier. Caswell was brought to
Windsor, Tuesday, to enter upon life
sentence.

The Calf Skin FoolishneSs.

Of the same character are the state
ments also privately circulated that
Mr.. Page pays a much larger price
for calf skins in Canada than he does
in the states. Inasmuch as hides
come in free from duty and have
for years, and inasmuch as parties
have come this side to sell hides hop
ing to get more than they could at
home, where they were "worth al
most nothing" this argument be-
came as sound as the other. The
opponents of Mr.. Page are trying to
prejudice the farmers against him on
the ground of the low price of skins.
But let us ask a question or two and
see if this prejudice will be well
grounded. Was Mr.. Page response
BILE for the low price of butter or beef
during the past two years? Would it
be reasonable to suppose the hide of
an animal would be worth more pro-
portionately than the meat it cover
ed? With free importation of hides
from South America and Australia
would it be possible for Mr.. Page to
control the market? If the profits of
the calf skin trade are so enormous
and ground out of the poor farmers,
would it be Yankee human nature to
allow one man to monopolize the bus
mess without let or hindrance? In
that case it would be an exception to
all known laws of business or human
nature, and the man who could bring
about so vast a combine might aim
good deal higher than the governor

Deafness can't be cured by local applications, as
they can not reach the diseased portions of the
ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and
that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachain Tube. When this tube
gets infamed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

of deafness Caused by catarrh) that we can not

Now and then the offices of treas
urer, secretary of state and auditor
are honored with a brief paragraph
in the current discussion of state pol
itics. Whatever may be done, all
these offices should not be filled with
new men in one year. The present
incumbents are all conspicuously
capable and efficient men. Each one
is admirably fitted for the office he
occupies, and the most proper thing
for the state to do is to re-elect them
all-and we believe it will Watch-
man.

The Republican State Committee
met at Montpelier last week and de-
cided to hold the state convention
at Montpelier, June 10. The call
for the convention will soon be out.
Chairman Page rendered his resigna-
ton and Hon. p. X. Gleed of Nor
risville was chosen in the place of
Mr.. Page and Geo. w. Grandey was
made chairman. The coming con-
vention will be very large one
about 700 delegates, chosen on the
basis of one delegate to every town,
and one for every 100 republican
votes cast in 1888 and one for every
fraction of a hundred larger than
so. The caucuses will be held June
18th.

fraction of a hundred larger than
so. The caucuses will be held June
18th.
The floods along the lower waters
of the Mississippi, which for a month
have been causing much distress and |
great losses of property, suggest that
some more systematic and perfect
means of protection should be adopt
ed. Engineering skill is equal to the
task. 1t is not such q formidable
matter as a Panama or Nicaragua
canal. But it should be taken in
hand by the national government,
and every bit of the work and eX-
pense should be assumed by the coun-
try at large. 1t is an interstate mat
ter, and properly does not belong to
the states. Moreover, no agreement
among the states affected can be sat
isfactory and effective. A commits
sion of engineers, with ample appro-
priations, could in a few years put
the banks of the river in such a con-
dition that the suffering of the past
few weeks would never be repeated.
One of the things which congress
must not forget or ignore at the pres
ent session is the republican pledge
to the soldiers of the late war. Dem
ocratic congresses have spat upon
the veterans, while we have promised
them justice-and they only ask JUS
tice when they ask for pensions in
their old age. So far congress has
done well by the old soldiers, thro'
special bills and the dependent pension
bill. But service pensions is the ulti-
mate requirement which alone satisfies
the soldiers and redeem republican
promises. Neither the tariff bill nor
financial legislation, important as
they are, should be permitted to OBJ
scure or delay proper pension legisla-
ton. The democratic party will make
great effort to secure control of the
next house. If they succeed no pen
sion legislation can be expected. The
republican majority of the present
congress must therefore take care of
the old soldier while the power rests
exclusively with republicans.-Press.
ley has an ambition to represent Ver-
mont in Congress and that he will
wedge into the canvass between Gen.
Grout and Col. Hooker. Well, that
Will help to make the matter lively.
With the genial George, and the
eloquent Frank actively at work as
ambitious self-constituted candidates,
there may be some danger that the
delegates to the district convention
get a little mixed. But the people
of the district who care more about
how the district is represented in con-
gress than just who represents it,
will by and by have something tc
say about it.
The simple question is whether
the people of the district are willing
to dispense with the services of {
tried, efficient, influential and able
representative to crafty the ambi
tion of man who in no possibl,
sense is better than congressman
Grout, and who with the best of lucI
must have from three to five term
to reach that point of influence nov
held by Grout. If an exchange
to be made it ought to be made be
cause a new man will be more credit
able, more useful to his constituents
and more influential in congress
That a half dozen men aspire to tn
position is no special reason why

aside for their qualification. Vel

The annual meeting of the Young Mems
Democratic society for election of officers
was held on Tuesday evening, with largo
attendance. There was no contest for any
Of the offices except second vice president
and the executive committee, ard for those
positions there was good natured rivalry.
The polls were opened at $50 and closed
at Q o'clock, bv which time i5s votes had
been cast Edward II. Garvin, Jacob Is.
Lichty and Luther Willig were the cleo
ton officers.
James b. Best was elected second vice
president by a majority of three. For the
eighth member Of the executive cemmittee

ton will bo contested for AT the next meet
ing Of the society.
Following were the officers chosen: Presi-
dent, William r. Brinton; first vice presi-
dent, b. J. McGrann; second vice presi-
dent, James b. Best third vice president,
John A. Coyle; secretary, J. Alton kolb; (;

I'LL OppOsltlOu 10 w III. II. brliltou. lew
days after the nomination Mr.. Reynolds
Withdrew his name, as he did not care to
y 10 into contest for the Office, which
promised to be an exciting one and might
e. Use great i'll feeling in the organization.
some Of Mr.. Reynolds friends insisted
upon his running and although his name
was not printed on the regular ticket, the, Q
were tickets printed with his name on for
president and distributed and he received
50 Of the votes cast on Tuesday evening.
Mr.. Brinton's friends held that he was
entitled TO the Office, Mr.. Reynolds having
bad II for two terms, and the principles OF
the party were opposed to third term.
There was nothing In the election (al-
though the Press endeavored to make IL 40
appear) that has any bearing on the COM
ing election for delegates TO the state con
vention. They will be elected without
the interference of the Young Mems
Democratic society.
At the business meeting of the society,
held prior to the election, nine members
were elected and seven proposed for mem.
bership.
1t was decided TO hold a picnic in the
near future and the president was author
ixed to appoint a committee of twelve to
make the necessary arrangements.
