some Big Life Insurance.


1t is a part of General d'Utassy's bust
ness to find out how much insurance his
feilow-men carry and show them that they
onght to carry more. He says he nnds lit
tie profit in men who have no insurance at
all. They are beyond hope and he passes
on to the other class, which he finds more
susceptible to the seductive mortuary
tables. endowments, indemnities, divi-
dends and all the rest of the glittering
thing. While in Europe, not long ago, he
found the insurance habit prevailing
there to very great extent. Some very
large policies are held by foreigners,
and, as rule, in American companies. In
reply to question as to who carried the
largest life insurance. General d Utassy
said the distinction undoubtedly be-
longed to a certain Duke Somebody, of
England, whose various policies in many
different companies aggregated $4,000, 600.
The Prince of Wales was generally be-
lIeved by insurance men to be the next
large holder with something like s., 500, 600.
The car of Russia is also insured to
large amount, but of late insurance agents
had not been urging him to increase
his holdings on account of the activity
of the Russian bomb throwers. And
speaking of bomb throwers, the insurance
fraternity owed great deal to the late Mr..
Norcross, of Boston, who tried the expert
ment on Mr.. Russell Sage. Since that
event wealthy gentlemen are less difficult
OF approach by insurance agents, after
they are entirely satisfied on the point
that they are insurance agents and not
wandering gentlemen with bombs Sew
eral very large lines of insurance
had been taken out by gentlemen
since the Sage incident, and agents
are still quoting trade from brisk to
buoyant and beyond. As to the largest life
policies held in the United States. the
general thought no one disputed POST
master-General Wanamake-'s claim to
that distinction. Mr.. Wanamaker is in
sured in seventy companies to the amount
OF 81, sos 900. There were two other
Wanamakers in Philadelphia, William II.
and 5. NJ, who are good patrons. the
former being insured for SIPS COO and the
latter for 100000. Probably the second
largest policy is carried also by Phila-
delphian, Mr.. Hamilton Disston. the saw
manufacturer, whose insurance at last
accounts aggregated $6O5. coo. Another
Philadelphian, w. ". Gibbs, has policies
amounting to $500, 600, while Willard r.
Winners amounts to 1915, OoO. Other citi
zens of the Quaker City carry amounts "a

Another View of the Case.

A vote against Col. Fuller and in fa-
vor of Brad Smalley is practically an
expression of confidence in Hiram At
kins. A refusal to vote comes to the
same thing.
A falling off in the republican vote
viii be promptly seized upon by Mr..
Atkins as showing that his manage
ment of the democratic party is crown
ed with success and that his methods
are vindicated by the popular vote.
If our republicans wish to compli-
ment Mr.. Atkins to give him substan-
tial assistance, and to see Vermont
turned over to his tender mercies in
case of Mr.. Cleveland's election, they
can easily carry the wish into effect.
If they wish to rebuke Atkins and
Atkinism, let them turn out to the
polls and vote the republican ticket

The Maple Sugar Bounty.

The democratic papers have fairly
howled themselves hoarse over the
sugar bounty clause of the Mckinley
bill and done all they could do to pref
udice farmers against it and make them
think that it was a humbug. Here is
what one practical, common sense
farmer says about it, and his expert
ence is that of all practical farmers:
l have seen in several newspapers ar
ticles in regard to the bounty on sugar
that are misleading, to say the least;
and to prove my assertion will give
my experience in the matter. ] made,
the past season, 1926 pounds OF sugar
and five gallons oflsyrup-about three
fifths of the amount usually made. OF
this quantity, l 1916 pounds drew s27.-
92 bounty, the remainder not being
presented for the bounty as it was the
last made and had doubts about its
being good enough. Now, as to the
expense of getting that S27.92, | viii
say that all the money paid out by me
was, think, six cents for postage. /
had no lawyer to make out my papers,
but made them myself and my neigh
bors made theirs. The weighing and
sampling did not cost me an hour of
time and, Of course, no money. An
other hour of time spent in keeping the
record of the sugaring-off was all the
time spent in getting the bounty.
Looking the matter over carefully, l
think the bounty was S27 benefit to

Republicans DO Your Duty.

On Sept. 9th next, will be held the
first state election influencing the pres
idential campaign of 1892. And as
usual Vermont takes the lead, and i.
is upon Vermont that the eyes of the
political world are turned. 1t has
come to be the belief of those who are
superstitiously inclined, that the ma
tional fate is decided by the size of the
Vermont majority at the Sept. election.
In 'S4 this majority was reduced and
Cleveland won, but in 'SS with the
justly popular IDillingham at the head
of the state ticket the majority was the
largest ever known and the knowing
ones predicted democratic disaster in
November, again predictions proved
true and Harrison won. Republicans
Of Vermont you made a brilliant
record in 'SS, you were voting for a
man whose integrity, independence and
uprightness had never been questioned,
a man whose record was clean, against
whom not the slightest breath of scan-
dal could be raised, man whose rec
ord in the past was a sufficient guaran-
ty, that, if elected his administration
would be marked by the same sagacity
and far-sightedness which had always
characterized his actions. With this
man at the head of the presidential
ticket, you felt called upon to exert
yourselves and set the mark high for
YOU knew that the eyes of the nation
were upon you. And in November
the people of our country thought best
to entrust again, their interests to the
party which, till 1884, had served them
so well, and Benjamin Harrison was
elected. Nearly four years have elaps-
ed since he took the oath of office, four
years of great prosperity; you have
in the presidential chair man who
has done nothing rashly. who Ihas al
ways been cool, careful, diplomatic.
These years have not been uneventful,
there have been crises, times when
war with foreign powers seemed not
unlikely, when our flag had been trail
ed in the dust and our seamen outrag-
ed. But through it all, careful, col
lected, determined, the statesman has
appeared, bringing to bear at times
the determination and forcefulness Of
the soldier, as the occasion required.
And it is not strange that his party
should again select Benjamin Harrison
as its standard bearer.
Republicans of Vermont the time
is near at hand when it viii be your
privilege to endorse his administration,
to declare anew your belief in the prin-
ciples and tenets Of the republican par
tv, to declare your belief in the pro-
lection of American industries and
cast your vote in favor Of a sound
currency. We donbt not that you viii
again roll up a splendid majority, that

There seems to be very genera
movement on the part of the voters OF
the different towns to adopt the oft re-
peated advice of this paper and put the
strongest, ablest and best men in NOM
ination for town representatives. St.
Johnsbury has nominated Hon. Henry
c. Ide than whom she has no more
able man; Ludlow, Hon. W. w.
Stickney; Bradford has named Joseph
Bliss and he ought to and we hope will

The Gist of the Matter.

We find the following in the Colo
RADIO Democrat Of Denver:
BY buying Colorado goods you keep
your money at home Millions of dol
lars aressent out of Colorado unneces-
sarilv every year. Every time you
spend a dollar for foreign goods you
are making Colorado poorer by just so
much. The people of Colorado can

shape of loan at per cent.

side that the speech could not have
been longer. And we think that we
can safely assert that a stronger, more
forcible and convincing political adj
dress was never delivered in Orange
County. Upon the conclusion of this
address Mr.. Markham started to sing
Il am Democrat" but was cut short
by hard shower which lasted for half
an hour. After the rain ceased the au-
dience, slightly depleted, returned and
listened to the completion of the inter-
rupted song and to selections by the
band. The chairman then introduced
Maj. John H. Watson of Bradford,
candidate for State Senator, who spoke
for nearly an hour. Mr.. Markham
then sang ''Vermont leads the way"
after which Hon. n. L. Boyden of
Randolph made brief speech. The
audience then Joined in the chorus to
"Glory Hallelujah." In response to
the continued applause Mr.. Maxham
rendered "America for Americans.
The chairman then called for three
cheers for the nominees, for the speak
ers and for the singer, which were
given with will.
Thus closed most successful rally.

There have been times when it has
seemed that the republicans of Ver-
mont, secure as they are in their posi-
tion, have by their sense of that secu-
rity been led into a state of apathy.
The victory of their party at the polls
being an assured fact, they argue that
there is no necessity of their voting ;
looking at the question one way it al
most looks as though they were right.
But when we look at it from another
standpoint we begin to realize the
weakness of their position. The re-
sult of the September election in Yer
mont in presidential years is anxiously
awaited by nation, for it has come to
be an accepted fact that the result OF
the vote in the little Green Mountain
State viii have a powerful influence in
the November elections throughout the
country. In face Of this fact can any
consistent republican afford to remain
away from the polls in September?

GRAND REPUBLICAN RALLY.

The Republicans of Orange County
held very successful rally at Chelsea,
Friday, Aug. 18th.
Most of the business blocks and sew
eral dwellings were very prettily deco
rated with red, white and blue; these
colors were also used upon the plat
form.
The committee was very fortunate
in securing as the orator of the day,
Hon. John L. Griffith, Secretary of
State of Indiana, Of whom President
Harrison said: ''He is the best speak
er in Indiana" and whom Redfeld
Proctor called one of the best, if not
the best campaign orator on the stump
to-day. Hon. H. Henry Powers of
Morrisvllle who was expected to speak,
failed to appear and Maj. John H.
Watson spoke in his place. A. j.
Maxham, the well known campaign
singer rendered several scatchy" Re-
publican songs in manner which cap
tivated his audience.
AT ? o'clock p. m. the procession
headed by the Chelsea Cornet Band
formed in front Of the Orange County
Hotel, and after marching through the
principal streets returned to the North
Common, where the speaking was
held.
Hon. S. b. Hebard of the County
Committee presided and first introduc-
ed A. j. Markham who sang ''Free
Trade is noble but not businesslike. "
After the applause had subsidized Hon.
John L. Griffith of Indiana was intro
duced. He spoke of the similarity ex-
isting between Indiana and Vermont
traced the history OF Vermont as lib
erty-loving state, state which was
foremost in the denunciation of slavery
and state which had always been
consistent in its adherence to the ten
cts of the Republican party; others
may have turned aside and worshipped
strange gods but Vermont-never.
He remarked that coming as he did
from doubtful state, he felt il a pleas
ure to speak in state which is al
ways certain. He said that the Sep
tember election in Vermont is not
merely state election, its Importance
assumes National proportions, and a
large majority in this election will give
an added impetus TO Indiana and other
doubtful states. He dwelt upon the
beneficial effects of the Mckinley tariff,
giving facts and figures to show that
instead of being National calamity as
the Democratic orators declared, and
the Democratic press asserted with un-
ceasing pertinacity, it had proved
most beneficial measure.
The industries which have sprung
up, the reduction in price of articles in
use. had verified the hopes
and predictions of its author. He de-
clared that no platform was needed TO
place Benjamin Harrison and his ad-
before the people, mere
recital of what has been accomplished
in the past three years would be suffi-
cient. He compared the positions of
the two great parties upon the silver
question; the records of the parties IN
Congress upon Pension measures, cit /
ing the Arrears Bill as an instance,
measure which as Democrats voted
for and Ga against. while 116 Repub-
licans voted for and not a single one
against.
The threatening weather caused the
speaker to shorten, somewhat, his ex-
cellent address, which throughout had
received the closest attention of the
large crowd in attendance. And ex-
pressions of regret were heard on every
