there is something in this, but it generally

There still considerable original forests standing in

particularly in Dandy, Mt. Tabor, Mt. Holly,
Shrewsbury, Mendon, Pittsfeld, and Chttenden This
business employs large number of men and teams the

Without doubt the most nourishing business in the
State is the marble industry and the supply is neXhaus
ible Beginning with Dandy the south and passing
through Walngford Clarendon, West Rutland, Proctor
Pittsford, and Brandon, there is unlimited amount

From circular issued by the Rutland Board of Trade
we copy the following more marble is quarried and
manufactured within radius of six miles of Rutland than
all the rest of the world combined, 200 being

is seemingly limit to its profitable development 1t

demand increasing Most of it is used for roofing, but
very large quantities sawed for billiard tables,

marble, its development has been rapid, and it
promises in the near future to greatly increase.

CleveLand,s Way.

1t Is evident that nothing that Mr.. Cleve-
land can do or say will please the Repnbli-
can newspapers. When he was silent. lhev
denounced him for Sinking the responsible
ity of advising his party; when he wrote
letters, they said that he should have pre-
served the dignity of his position by taking
no part in political affairs; when he declin.
ed to take the stump III Ohio, they said he
was coward, and now that he Is making
speeches and presiding over mass meetings
in New York, they have gone wild in their
denunciations of him and his course. The
Boston Journal declares that "no ex-Presi-
dent of the United states was ever so de-
graded before" In the meantime, Mr..
Cleveland is going straight ahead making
votes for Flower and teaching the Democ-
racy that the only hope of the country is
in the unity of the party and in its triumph
ut the election in 1892. It is plain that the
Republican goose Is cooked in New York.

The receipts of cotton at the ports has
been SO far this season largely IN excess of
last year for the same time. This Is given
as the reason for tic low price Of the Sta
pie. The foreign buyer refuses to believe
that the crop is short SO long as the ship
ments are SO far ahead of last wear. and
thus the market is kept low. The October
rush will soon be over, and no doubt the
receipts at the ports will fall of SO sharply
that the "bulls' will give the market a
boost" that will send the price up several
points at least. The price has got down to
that point where a man that is not in debt
cannot lose much by holding back his cot
ton. But this is business that every pro-
Queer must decide for himself. The mar
ket may be better in thirty days or it may
pe worse. No one can tell for certainty.
