"a Real Lady,"

We hear the phrase so often, and
how hard to define its exact mean
ing. We all know the lady when
we meet her, and yet her charm is
as indescribable as the scent of a
rose or the tints of the sunset sky.
It might be said to lie in her utter
lack of positiveness and best pain
ted in negatives. She is not obtru-
sive in appearance or dress; she
does not claim your attention by
any effort to attract it, nor does
she seem conscious of your admir-
alton if you evince it. She is never
known to speak harshly, malicious
ly or loudly to superior, equal or
inferior. She does not laugh at any
thing that could by any possibility
wound another, nor seek to intro
duce into the conversation any
topic she has reason to think may
prove disagreeable or embarrassing,
but rather, closes her eyes to what
ever her keen tact tells her you de-
fsire to remain unnoticed. In her
Judgment she does not seek to i'm
| press you with her irfallibleness,
but is quick to adj the saving
clause. She does not envy or scorn
another's possessions, and would
not point out the crumpled rose
leaf for the world. She makes nc
boast of anything, but does not de-
cry herself in any way, SO that hel
sweet pride is humility, and hel
sweet humility the truest pride.
She is no gossip, though she is
not above taking an interest in the
lowliest that cross her path. and has
womanly sympathy for every sicE
and suffering thing. She takes uE
no fad or hobby to the exclusion oi
other duties, but is consistent II
1 all things, and, without being fool
ishly conventional, does not neglec'
to fulfil the least demand of hel
position. She is not a religious ia
natic, and has no hell of excommun
ication for those not of her way o
thinking, but is in the truest ant
best sense noble hearted, Christ
ian woman, than which there i
no better definition of a lady. ST

A Plea for Fair Play.

The Leading candidates named for the
Office of governor are allgood meu--why
should not all have fair treatment at the
hands of the press and people? Why, for
instance, should it be brought up as an OBJ
lection to any candidate that his father
and brother have been honOred BY the
highest Office within the States gift"
Since, when, pray has the possession ola
name, long honored in the annals of our
State, or membership of family long
and intimately identified with the name
and material prosperity and high stand
ing OF Vermont as a commonwealth, be-
come disqualification for public office.
The intelligent and independent freemen
of Vermont have not been wont to so re-
gard it. 1t was not objected to Henry A..
Fletcher, two years ago, that he was The
son OF former good governor, nor be
fore that did any one want William p.
Dillingham; set on one side because lie
was the son OF Paul Dillingham;. These
"accidentsof birth do not qualify, neither
most assurcdly do they disqualfy, aman
for high responsibility. Let every tub
stand on it's own bottom. The man is
the man, for all that he may have or lack
of ancestral distinction. Col. Fairbanks,
as we understand, is presented by his
friends on his personal merits. So isCol

candidate for the nomination. Each il

true republican. Each an honest man
Both have many mutual friends; and
each should have perfectly fair play from
the friends Of the other. Let us have a
fair, free and open canvass. There is no
danger that the State will not elect good
governor next September,-Free Press.

Republican protection benefits
the wage earners of the United
States, not only by creating de
mands for their services, but by
securing them ample wages for
their work. Free trade would
admit, without duty, into this
country the products of the
pauper labor of Europe, which
would naturally tend to reduce
the rate of wages here. For in
stance, we learn that in MUNICH
en-, Germany, it was disclosed in
the trial of a case, that an en-
broidery manufacturer there had
in his employ women who re.
ceived only five cents a day, un.
der the sweating" system. OF
course, such articles can be sold
at a much less price than those
made by employees who receive
adequate compensation. Do oul
wage earners care to have their
wages reduced, to enable their
employers to compete with the
pauper made articles of the ole
world with which democratic
free traders would food this
country?

NermOnt's Industrial Progress
During the Year 1891.

For the year 1891 Vermont claims a
full share of the prosperity and progress
which has come to our whole country.
Probably no year of her history, in re-
cent times, has shown SO great progress
in the way of building up new enterprises
and extending the operations of those al
ready established The Board of AgricuI-
ture has recently taken few statistics,
gathered from reports made to the Board
by the clerks ofthe several towns, relative
to the transactions in farm property and
the establishment of new manufacturing.
Reports have been received from 22O
towns. A full report would undoubtedly
increase considerably some of the results
found, as few of the towns that it has
been impossible to get reports from were
among the largest in the state. The re-
ports received show that 1764 farms
have been sold during the year, of this
number 252 were of the class known as
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1892-03-04

town in the state has done SO much to
advertise its advantages as has Burling-
ton and no town has made so great pro-
gress. In the sales of farm property,
summer Barnard did some liberal adver-
Using OF its advantages. These facts
tend to the conclusion, that it is a wise
policy for towns orlocaltes possessed OF
natural advantages or attractions to
let the outside world know what they
have. \ little judicious advertising is IL
able to bring large return.
From the industries already established
there comes generally n report of pros
per.ty, and the many extensions made to
their plants would indicate that they had
reported correctly. OF the towns claim
ing large increase of existing industries
may be noted Barre and Dummcrstou in
the production of granite, Proctor of
marble, Pawlct, increase in slate quarry
| ing. Morgan and Andovcr, increase in
/ production of lumber. Thetford. large adj
dition to their tiSh.rod factory, Randolph,
/ increase of business at furniture factory,
= Ncrshirc, extension of copper mining,
! RyeEate, increased production Of brick
and Wcybridge of wood pulp.
The information received points to 4
still greater progress for the year 1892
than in the year Just closed. Several
large enterprises are only awaiting the
opening of spring. In this list we find the
pelicr, Tunbridgc, Fairlee, Chelsea and

An inspection of the progress made i'll
the past year may we'll raise reasonable
doubt as to the truth of the theory that
has long prevailed, that Vermont could
never be a manufacturing state. 1t is
found generally that manufactures are
built up wherevergood opportunities are
offered and encouragement is given. To
secure manufactures it is first necessary
to have some advantages and then let
the fact be known. That Burlington has
been able to offer such inducements as to
determine a large Shoe factory to cross
the continent to enjoy her privileges is
good evidence in her favor. Probably no
