Vermont at the Worlds Fair.

The Legislature made no mistake in
increasing the appropriation for Yer
mont's exhibit at the Columbian ex-
position. The state press has with
hardly any exception approved of the
action, and the state is further re-
ceivlng handsome compliments from
newspapers beyond her borders. The
Troy, N. T., Press has the following
appreciative Words
Vermont has an admirable COM
mission to the worlds fair. The d.
verse interests of the state that will
claim attention at Chicago's great
exhibition could hardly have entrus-
ted to better hands. Col. Bradley B.

he is genial, was a most fitting selec-

Alaskan Fur company, as well as his
efficient work at home, is a sufficient
guarantee Of his qualifications. The
increased appropriation should slim
ulate the manufacturers and breeders
of Vermont to put their shoulder to
the wheel to make an exhibit in 93'
that will in every respect be worthy

Some Lessons of the Fairs,

Object lessons of the best of their
kinds are always profitable to those
who are personally interested in those
kinds respectively. The best horses
for horse-men, the best vegetables for
the gardener, the best machines for
the mechanic, the best needlework for
the housewife, and, in general, the
exhibition of real and highest results
attained by experts is profitable in
that it stimulates to higher endeavors
those who are labOring on the same
lines. We all aim at best results. We
are all actuated by emulation. We
feel that what man has done, man
can do. The actual is always the
probable, and man as a progressive
being is ever striving to attain and
surpass the highest achievements of
his fellows and leaders. Thus is the
agricultural fair benefit to farmers
in that it exhibits the best products
of the farm, the best implements of
farming, the best kinds, varieties.
breeds and individual animals, the
best methods and processes, and, in
a word, the best way of farming. A
farmer that has eyes to see may see
more than he can tell atany agricult-
ural fair. The fair also helps the
farmer to determine on what lines he
can best labor for assured success.
We learn by comparison. COmpar-
ing this with that we infer or Judge
what is best for us under the circum-
stances. The careful student at a
fair may do much toward correcting
errors ofjudgment and practicein his
modes of farming, and modify accord
ingly. The fair is a school ofobserva-
ton, it's lessons are best learned by
the keenest observers. It is too often
we fear, more a gala day than a
time of study. Still, the factremains
that it is an occasion for profitable
investigation of the real art of agri-
culture, and so better than books,
better than the laboratory and di-
ploma to him who, having the best
of the books and schools, masters the
problems that the realistic lessons Of
the fair teach to the thoughtful stu
dent. Let us make the fair more a
school and less a show-Farmers'

Country Newspapers.

Although country editors are near
ly always poor, there are plenty of
persons who believe that half the par
agraphs in a country newspaper are
paid for with enormous brides. There
are always two sides to every uues-
ton, and whichever side an editor
falls on, the partizans of the other ac-
cuse him of being " bought" 1t is a
little wonder, therefore, that the edi-
tor is seldom a popular man; | never
knew one who was, and | never knew
one who was not often accused I'M
justly. Probably the people believe in
brides to editors because it is very
rare editor who does not accuse his
opponent of being a bribe-taker Great
ing a prejudice against themselves
and their calling. Lazy and incom-
petent editors nearly always explain
the success of their more vigorous
opponents by declaring that they

FARM FOR SALE !

Owing to the advancing years of
my father, | have purchased the
farm owned by him for many years
past, near Hyde Park village. Hav.
ing neither time nor ability to car
ny it on properly, l will sell it at
much less than its value.
To those who are acquainted
with the place no commentator
is necessary. For the benefit of
those who are not, say it is one of
the best farms on the Lamoille
River. 1t has a meadow nearly or
quito one mile iii length, and
nearly as level as a floor. 1t was
in a fair state of cultivation when
purchased by my father, and du-
ring the many years that he has
owned it he has been constantly
improving it, until it is to-day one
OF the most fertile farms on the
Lamoille River. The dwelling is
a good two-story house, in an ex-
cellent state of repair and pleas
antly located, and the barns are
fair. 1t would cost $500 at least
to build the buildings to-day
The larger part of the farm is
in Morrlstown, where taxes are
comparatively low. The balance
lies contiguous to Hyde Park vii
lage, where there is an academy,
court house, two banks, printing
office, steam mill, hide house, and
Sundry stores, railroad depot, ETC.,
all of which are within Il to u
mile of the farm. The place is
now offered for $4,000. 1t was
sold a few years since for $4,000
1t contains 200 or 2I5 acres, but
if desired will reserve a part of it.
Terms for payment will be made
easy to any one who can either
pay or secure $1,000.

Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge has an

Free coinage the issue for 1892. :"

doubt that the next Congress will
pass a free coinage bill. / have not
heard of any one either in or out of
Congress or of either party, fitted by
experience or observation to Judge,
who doubted for a moment that such
a bill would go through. If a free

that President Harrison will veto it
In the interest of honest finance and
sound business methods. Should this
happen, asfit is not believed that the
bill can pass both branches over the
presidential veto, 1T will leave the
question open to be settled at the
polls in 1892, while the position of
the parties upon it will have been
sharply defined by the action of Con-
gress and of the administration re-
spectively. Whatever difference may
exist within the parties upon the ques-
ton, the conditions are such that one
must sustain and the other opposeit.
They cannot both get upon the same
platform in regard to it, and it there
fore seems inevitable that the free
coinage of silver will be the leading
issue in the next campaign, the one
upon which the most popular feeling
will be excited and upon which most
votes will turn.

A Magnificent Argument.

In his address to thepeopIe ofPome-
roy, Ohio, Major Mckinley was able
to make use of an argument that
went home with telling effect. Alarge
rolling mill was erected in Pomeroy
several years ago, but for long time
previous to last October it had stood
idle and empty. When the Mckinley
bill went into effect it brought an i'm
mediate industrial awakening to the
town. The rolling millwas promptly
set to work, and is now running day
and night manufacturing cotton ties.
1t employs 300 workmen at good
wages where none were employed be-
fore, and it furnishes the means of
comfortable support to l 200 or l.
500 persons. With such an example
of the effect of the Mckinley law, it
would be strange indeed if the citi-
zens of Pomeroy did not vote over
whelmihgIy to sustain it and to elect
its gallant author to the governship
of Ohio. And what the present tariff
has done for Pomeroy in building up
a new industry, it has done forscores
of other towns all over the United
States.-N. Y. Press.

Vermonters: "Dont sneer at YER
mont. If you happen to live in a
quiet town, don't run out against it
and its citizens and act as though the
Almighty had hardly made universe
enough to hold you. When we are
called upon to do something for home
industries, let us remember that had
we unbuttoned our hearts and pocket
books half as readily to improve our
native soil and citizens, as we did to
boom the southern and western states
our waste places would blossom like
a rose and our pocketbooks would
have been less consumptive in their
general outlines.
