From the New York Mail and Express,
The Republican party, as in times past, is
the only efIectual barrier against the sue
cess of legislation that would bring about
the withdrawalof gold, the arrangement of
values, the destruction of business conf
dence and general financial disaster Today
President Harrison, representing the best
traditions and soundest currency policies of
his party firm, resolute, fearless and in
domitablr, stands as the deliverer of his
country from all these measureless evils and
caamities and national humiliations His
attitude mas prevented a triumph Of the
free silverites IN the House. He represents
and leads the great mass of his party on
this issue, and under that leadership the
party will make odious every recresnt Re
publican IN the next Congress who has sup
ported the most disgraceful alliance ever
known IN the political history Of the
country

One of the most destructive fires that
ever occurred iu Vermont was that at Wi
nooski Tuesday iu which the ive-story
building of the Burlington Cotton company
with ali oi its contents was destroyed, and
also nine other buildings entailing a total
loss of about l1O OOU The fire is supposed
to have originated IN a mule head ON the
upper floor of the factory, friction iguiting
the lint As soon as the fire was discovered
the entire floor was in flames and the EN-
ploves were obliged to run for their lives.
Robert Taylor. one of the foremeu, was
badly burned about the head and hands.
and two boys. Nelson Young and Alfred
Potion. also received painful burns. II at
once became apparent that the factory was
doomed and the efforts were directed to
ward saving the nearby buildings. 1t was

first discovered but a strong wind was
blowing, and IN half an hour sparks had
set fire 20 the lumber shed Of Edwards a

XII river In five minutes more this was a
mass Of flames the fire had spread 10 four

paint shop on the corner Of Centre and
Barlow streets The destruction of a wheel
wright and blacksmith shop and dwell
ing on Barlow street and a dwelling on
East Allen street followed No effort could
have saved the houses, but the occupants
IN some cases saved the furniture The
wind blew the sparks away from the ware
houses of the mill and they we're not dam
aged The fire department of Burlington
came quickly to the fire, and did heroic
service. and If it had not been for the Burl
mgton bows it is probable that the larger
part Of Winooski would have been destroy
ed Companies also came from Waterbury
and st Adams, but they did not arrive an
til after the fire was under control. Many
of the buildings were in danger at different
times and took FIRE The Episcopal church
was one Of these but the damage to it was
slight
The cotton factory was run by stock
company under the name Of the Burlington
Cotton mills About 10 hands were en-

weaving mill on Pine street is dependent on
the burned mill for its supply Of yarn, and
must necessarily stop and $50 more hands
will be thrown out Of employment.
The loss on mills and contents Is estimat-

If an election for congressman were 70
be held next week the result would be very
different from that of last November. The
hue and cry about the oppressiveness of
the Mckinley law, having served its pur-
pose, has ceased, and the successful reci-
procity convention arranged with Brazil
has created a strong popular breeze for the
sails Of the Republican ship. Add to this
the vast service the Republican Congress
and the Republican administration have
done for the cause OF sound money, against
a solid Democratic vote, aud you have the
strongest reasons for a renewal of the con
hdence Of the country IN Republican lead
ership. We approach the decisive contest
of 1892 with renewed courage
