Too Soft a Job.

The Woodstock Standard speaks
as follows concerning the Vermont
Legislature:
1t costs sum to run the legisla-
tive machine at Montpelier, and the
people have to foot the bill. Call it
in round number a thousand dollars
a day. Suppose the gentlemen stay
up there sixty days; the debentures
of the Legislature will figure up a cool
sixty thousand. According to report
there are hundred and fifty farmers
in the assembly this year, perhaps
more. Let them risein their majesty
and demand that the legislature dis
solve at the end of this week. Thel
can save to the State thirtY thous
and dollars by that step in their OWL
debentures, and perhaps thirty thous
and more in appropriations they are
likely to vote if they continue in SEES
sion after that time. What a spIen-
did opportunity these gentlemen have
of browning themselves with immor-
tai honor and of earning the hearty
thanks of law ridden and tax rid
den people.
True, and what a grand chance for
the many members elected as reform
ers, to carry out their pledges and to
achieve honor; yet we fear too many
of them know they have a "soft
snap" and are anxious to hold on tC
it as long as possible.

The intelligent farmers all under
stand this tariff bugbear which the
enemy of protection is proelaiming
from one end of the country to the
other, and when they realize, as they
surely viii after careful consideration,
that the Mckinley bill protects them,
they viii be encouraged to give it a
fair trial, whatever their political
faith may be. Every farmer can I'M
derstand that when thesupply exceeds
the demand, prices go down; and
when produce is brought from other
countries it helps swell the supply be-
yOnd the demand.
