Joseph Gravel, an old resident of
Addison, had aterrible experience in try
ing to drive across Lake Champlain few
days ago. He was lost in a binding
storm and then when he got out of his
sleigh to examine what he thought was

reached the New York shore, nearly ex-
hausted, but has found nothing of his
horse and sleight.
The large farm has had its day and
has got to go. Taxes are too high to pay
on unproductive lands. Small areas and
the intensive system of farming will do
more to elevate the condition of Ameri-
can farmers than unlimited legislation.
Intensive farming calls for close atten-
ton to all matters, which only a good
head can give. Let the boys have the
benefit of careful training.
indications are that George William
Curtis knew what he was about when he
said that mo man in the country repre-
sents more truly than Senator Hill the
average character, spirit and actual
aims of his party" His larceny of the
New York Senate and his subsequent
achievements seem to have served only
to strengthen his hold on the Southern
politicians who really shape the desti-
MES of the Democracy

1.-THE employment of the National
labor of country says Roger c. Mills,
sis the great central fact in all this qucs-
ton around which every other fact re-
wolves as mere secondary" Exactly,
Mr.. Mills. Yet you are in favor of
policy which you say will increase our
impOrtations of foreign goods by $780,
600, 900 annually. That your policy will
do this no one, whether Protectionist or
Free Trader, doubts. That the labor
now employed in making those goods in
this country would be driven from their
present employment is equally certain.
Foreign labor would be set to work max
ing them. But perhaps you meant for
eign labor when you spoke of the vital
necessity of keeping it employed. For
eign interests always did seem to
trouble you most.
