Another View.

Mr. Editor. I notice an article in your
paper in relation to drafted men who paid
their commutation of three hundred dol
lars. | am glad there are those who are
having an interest on this subject and are
willing to express their opinions in de-
fence of that class of sufferers financially.
There is one point no one has touched
upon that seems to me worthy of notice.
The draft was inevitable and every male
citizen between the ages of eighteen and
forty-five were equally liable to be called
upon to defend his country, in case of
need. When the draft was declared nee
essary the government made two classes
placing those between the age of eighteen
and thirty-fve in the first class, stating
that this class should be drawn from un-
til exhausted, thus leaving those from
thirty-five to forty-five years of age free
from all liability. When it was found
necessary to call upon the second class
what was done A town meeting was
called and the town voted to pay eight
hundred dollars for substitute for each
man drafted, and we poor fellows who
had paid our three hundred dollars, u,aid-
ed, had to pay our proportion of the taxes
necessary to meet this expense. Then in
addition to this the first drafted men
stood as three years men on the towns
quota, and those who committed were
enrolled and thus made equally liable with
the second class to be called upon in the
next draft. / ask our citizens if there
was any justice or equality in making the
drafted men bear all the expense !?
Would it not be an act of injustice to take
the money awarded by the government to
this state and reimburse the drafted men?
hope this cause will be agitated until
the State will be made willing to do what
is right with this class of men many of
whom have never been able to free them
selves from the debt incured at that time.
l hope to hear from others on this sub
ject. 5.

ly providing for those who bore the
brunt, and are repaying to the states
the sums drafted from them. And
why not to the drafted men !? And
IL the government fails to do this why
not the State !? Is not one as just
as the other !?
Further, but one draft was permit
ted in this state, the men called for
by the later drafts being furnished
through the paying of large bounties,
the drafted men paying their proper
ton of the taxes. This looks like
making fish of one and fowl of the
other. Perhaps the Times editor, in
his diaper wisdom, can explain why
it was right for one set of men to be
obliged to buy their discharge and
for the next set to have their exemp-
tion bought by others, the first assis-
ting in paying the taxes therefor.
May be so.

PRICE THREE CENTS.
A MODEL SAVINGS BANK,
Barton Monitors:

Barton Monitor;
From 1884 to 1888, Gov. Page was in
spector of savings banks in Vermont,
and 1t Is hardly necessary to say that he
male very careful study during this
time of the subject of savings bank in
vestments. He became satisfied that
there was large and growing number of
the people of our state who did not be-
lieve in western and southern invest
ments. First, because as a matter of
patriotism they wished to see Vermont
money used to foster and build up Yer
mont industries. Second, because they
believed that the practice of loaning
money through western loan agents,
oftentimes irresponsible and dishonest.
without any personal knowledge whatever
on the part of the bank managers as to
the value of security loaned upon, would
sooner or later lead to losses.
Those who carefully read Gov. Pages
reports to the Legislatures during his in
cumbency of the office of inspector of
finance, will remember his conservative
recommendations and the gallant fight
which he made to have the law changed
with reference to the amount of western
loans which savings banks could hold.
On retiring from the position of savings
bank inspector, he decided to organize a
savings institution which should meet
this demand for purely Vermont saw
ngs bank. He therefore organized at
Hyde Park the Lamoile County Savings
Bank & Trust Co., and called into its
management two attorneys who have had
large experience as money loaners, and
two farmers, who combine with sound
judgment as to the value of real estate,
successful experience of quarter of
century each in loaning money on mort
gage securities.
The institution opened its doors for
business Jan. 81, 1889, and its growth,
which has, we believe, no parallel in the
history of Vermont's savings banks, has
demonstrated the popularity of the prin-
ciple upon which it was founded. Not
dollar of its funds has been loaned outside
of the state, No investment is made
without careful investigation of the
security on which loan is made. Abso-
Lutte security rather than high rates of in
terest is the governing principle with
reference to all it's investments.
1t accepts no loans paying more than
per cent. interest, preferring that rate
on security which is known from the per
sonal investigation of its directors to be
abundant, to eight or ten per cent. on
property recommended solely by a western
loan agent whose chief object too often
is to have the loan made SO that he can
get his commission.
Paying, as it does, the depositors taxes,
where deposits do not exceed $500, it
finds per cent. all it can pay to deposit
ors, and this sum compounded semi-an-
nually, it guarantees to pay. We give
below the almost phenomenal growth of
the institution since its organization:

Worlds Fair Notes.

James Allison of Cincinnati has
been chosen Chief of the Department
of Manufactures, and Willard A..
Smith Chief of the Department of
Transportation. Prof. W. L. Tomlins
has been commissioned Choral Direct
or of the Exposition.
Prof. Tomlins, Choral Director of
the Exposition, is in England and will
invite a number of the great English
choral societies to participate in the
dedication ceremonies of the Exposi-
ton buildings in October, 1892. The
auditorium for choral music has been
located in the north court of the man
ufactures building.
Texas has decided to set apart a
spacious room in its Exposition build
ing for an exhibit by the colored peo-
pie of the state.
The London Times, in a long re-
view of the Exposition, says there can
be no doubt now that the Exposition
will surpass in many respects all ex-
positions previously held. English
manufacturers are urged to make
large displays.
The New Orleans Machinery Com
pany writes to Chief Buchanan that it
will make a complete exhibit of cot
ton gins, sugar mills and other ma
chinery at the Exposition. Another
interesting invention that this COM
pany will bring is the first cotton gin
made by Eli Whitney, which was in
vented some time in 1870.

Some of the metropolitan papers
render themselves ridiculous and fair
ly put to blush the local columns of
the Vermont press, by publishing
every little private act Of the Presi-

yesterday first there came a little
wave then there came big one and
the President was buried in salt
water" Great guns ! Can't these
big { p papers find something more
sensible wherewith to fill their col
umns !? Or is this part of the pro-
gramme to boom old Ben for a re-
nomination 2?

stood up for Levi, the great soldier,
statesman and Grand Army man,
and fairly screamed his praises from
every hilltop in Vermont ? If there
is any more that we can do, brother
Times, just let us know and into line
we'll tumble. AS to the latter clause
of the sentence quoted we do not
