Farmers League Meeting.

The annual meeting of the Yer
mont Farmers League was held at
| Capital hall Wednesday. The meeting
was called last week by the secretary
who waited as long as possible to
hear from the president, who has been
in New York for some months. The
time between the day on which the
| call was issued and the day of the
meeting was to shortfor the necessary
amount of advertising, and that fact
and the rain united to make the at
tendance very small. Hardly dozen
persons were present. congressman
circuit and Powers and other speak
ers were on hand, but it was thought
advisable not to have any speaking
The executive committee met in the
morning and made several important
changes in the constitution, which
were approved by the league. The
principal of these was that by which
the Vermont league is hereafter to be
independent. The dissolution of the
national league has made this action
necessary. The county leagues are
abolished so that now there are but
TWO ullitS, uuc UONn anu SUdUtIe ubS.
Another important change is that
which permits workers of industrial
classes other than the farming class
to become members of the league
The initiation fee fOrlocal leagues has
been reduced from fifty to twenty-five
cents. The committee on resolutions
reported resolutions Peaffirming the
platform of June ), welcoming to
membership all workers who ara in
sympathy with the movement, and
who promise Incorporate in promot-
ing the objects OF the league, stating
that reform from unjust and unequal
legislation is sought through exist
ing parties, endorsing the extension
of free postal delivery to the rural
districts. and cQmmeRdp&. ltae ie9.
These resolutions were adopted. The
following officers were elected: Presi-
dent, George p. Beard of st. Adams;
vice presidents, p. S. Chamberlain of

Whether the Republican ticket will
be successful or not in New Y ork next
week is difficult to state. But of one
thing We are sure, Tammany Hall
ceived so thorough an exposure as it
is receiving in the present campaign
at the hands of the Mr.. Fassett, the
young Republican candidate for Gov
ernor. The best elements of all par
ties, including the present Demo-
cratic Lieut.-Governor, are with him
and a. strong effort will be made to
overthrow the corrupt monster Still
Tammany is so thoroughly entrench-
ed in the state and city government
that it will require Herculean efforts
to overcome its 10000 followers.
Besides Mr. Flower, the Democratic
candidate, who is a millionaire sever
al times land who by the way once
said that 80 cents a day was enough
for the laboring man, will not hest
tate to use his money freely. Not
withstanding all this, it is hoped that
the Republicans will get out their full
vote from the interior of the state,
which if they do is strong enough to
defeat Tammany.

w. II. Fu!lingtOn of Manchester,

regarding the Hardwick granite bust

the place for 10 years, but since then
there have been 40 put up, and good
substantial ones at that. The village

"When did they begin to quarry
granite there?"

about one carload amOnth. NOWmy

and is increasing it's work. We took
an order last week for about 125 car
loads of stone to 90 into the new court
house at Taunton, Mass. The build

company, which has been in existence
some time. All the business went in
to thecompany, which now has 5000

controlling part. We claim to be able
to get out stone and freight it 100
miles cheaper than other localities
can even quarry it, and to be able to
break out bigger blocks than any
other quarry in the world. That
sounds rather large, perhaps, but |
mean it. We got out last fall block

out an imperfection of any kind, and
the other day broke one measuring
over 80 feet in every direction. We
could get a perfect block 30 feet square
and 300 feet long. There is onelayer
of perfect stone 80 feet thick which
seems practically without end"
"How do you get the stone to the
railroad?"
Haul it with horses. Oh, yes. of
course, that is a great obstacle to
ease of doing business. The Boston
and Maine railroad has laid track
about third ofthe way to our noun

and we hope to have the iron right to
the stone before long"
What other quarrying concerns
are there in the place."
cone is the Hardwick Granite COM
pany, which quarries and manufact-
ures stone. They employ about 30
men, We do manufacturing or finish
ing. Then there is the firm of Brush
& Curtis, which employs dozen men
or more, quarrying and finishing.
The Standard Granite company does
quarrying only. The st. Johnsbury
Granite company quarries in Hard
wick and finishes in st. Johnsbury,
and the Ryegate Granite company
works in a similar way. The bust
ness is booming all around and we
think that it has yet seen but its be-

VERMoNT's DAY Is DAwNtNg.--
There is a general advance all along
the line in the industrial interests of
farmers; not alone in abundant
! crops, but more especially in a
change of methods with changed con-
ditions in farming. The old tradi-
tional haphazard methods are being
abandoned and new and timely ones
adopted instead. More thorough
cultivation and an intelligent appli-
cation of fertilizers, the raising of
choice varieties of vegetables and
fruits. and the best breeds of stock,
the improved machinery and new
processes of manufacturing farm pro-
duets and marketing them are fast
becoming known and adopted. Mann
featuring and mining enterprises are
springing up all over the state, and
farmers are finding home markets
for their surplus products, with the
advantage of dealing directly with
consumers. The maple sugar indus
try has received a tremendous i'm
pulse from the prospective bounty to
producers. Mutton sheep, driving
horses, choice breeds of cows, swine
and poultry are receiving attention
and paying profits to farmers who
are moving with the new era to new
prosperity. Croakers have gone to
the rear, practical loyal Vermonters
are at the front trying to build up
Yermont's industries. The day of
Vermont farmers prosperity is
dawning. All hail to the light upon
the hill tops.-St. Adams Farmers
Advocate.

Philadelphia Made Tin.

The Inquirer of the 9Th inst, de-
votes considera BILE space to the Ameri-
can tin industry in Philadelphia. 1t
has been the boast of the democrats
that tin could not be made in this
country, and that the specimens
shown in the Ohio campaign were
made for campaign use only. Ameri-
can capital does not build plants and
engage workmen for sentiment When
mandatory is started it is fair to
presume that capital seeks invest
ment and that the mills have been
built for profit. The two firms en-
gagged in manufacturing tin in this
city are III business because it pavs
into one of great magnitude. They
are shortly to be joined by a third
firm, and not only will tin be made
in large quantities but it will be su-
perior to that imported. The plate
brought from Wales is of one size.
The plate in Philadelphia can be fur.
nished at any desired length. In fact
the manufacture in Wales is print
tive, and Yankee ingenuity is atwork
to beat the Welshmen at thier own
game and to turn out both terne.

utensils, at a price lower than any

The ENORMOUS WHEAT CROP AGAIN.

The ENORMOUS WHEAT CROP AGAIN.
Some weeks ago it was estimated by
conservative authorities that the
wheat crop amounted to about
$50, 100000 bushels. Calculations
based upon the latest reports of the
agricultural department show that
this estimate must be enlarged. 1t
now seems to be a fair estimate that
the crop is $50, 100000 bushels with
probability that even this enor-
nous quantity falls below the ac-
tual yield. The harvesting of so
large crop premirs the sale of at
least 25O.000,O00 bushels to for
eign consumers. Our exports of this
staple have not heretofore exceeded
1S6,500,000 bushels in any year,
but the demand in Europe this year
is extraordinary.
