BUT this is far from being the case
with the money metals. We cannot
adjust their discovery and production,
their abundance or scarcity, at all. So
far as man can see, it is matter of ac-
cdent. First, great gold deposit is
discovered; and gold is so abundant for
a time that the silver dollar is worth
more as metal than the gold dollar; and
consequently the silver dollar goes out
of circulation. Then there is a great
discovery of silver; and the cheapening
of the metal reduces its bullion value
so that if the weight of the coins is
unchanged, we may have what is called
a ninety-cent, or even a seventy-cent,
dollar. In the long run, these variations
tend somewhat to balance each other;
yet history shows wide differences from
century TO century, and gives no hope
that it will ever be different. If we are
to retain both metals in service as
money-and all experience has shown
that neither metal is in sufficient supply
at all times to form a safe basis for the
business of the world-then govern
ments must guarantee the difference by
maintaining their coinage of both met
ais on an equality for all taxes and other
governmental demands. No self just
ment is sufficiently exact, regular or
timely, to be of any practical value.
Unless the governments of the great
commercial nations guarantee the equal
exchangeable value of the coined metals,
there must be constant disturbances
and commercial crises, due TO their
fluctuations of value.

ison, as applied TO the value ratio be-
tween the precious metals by our es-
teemed Western Reader" seems to
us much more ingenious than sound.
The gridiron pendulum is a carefully
adjusted device, based on scientific
principles, to keep the clocks to which
it is applied going at uniform rate in
all temperatures. This adjustment
can be made perfect, because the ex
pansion and contraction of the metals
used are exactly known under all the
degrees of temperature to which the
clock is exposed.

THE belief that this education is pos
sible, and, in the long run, essential, does
not seem to have originated or mani
tested itself strongly among the farm
ers themselves. II has been with them
as it was with the old navigators. Men
on shore have studied and invented
and written, and by their efforts they
have put it into the power of the timid
coasters to put forth into the open sea
and sail safely and quickly whitherso-
ever they would to their destined haven
and market.

AN Indiana inventor has produced

THE agricultural editor desires to re-
new the expression of his thanks to the
correspondents whose communications
have of late added so much interest to
this department of the paper. Some of
them we know could receive from lead
ing journals liberal payment, such as
country newspapers are not able to
offer, for the valuable contributions
they send US. We are glad to notice,
therefore, the generosity as well as the
usefulness which mark these kindly
volunteered articles. We have more of
them still in reserve, and trust that they
will continue TO flow in from our intel
ligent and pubhc-spirited readers.

OUR editorial brother of the Manches-
ter On. H. Union has very level head,
as the following paragraph witnesseth:
According to the forest commission
ers of New York, judging by the amount
of timber used by lumber and pulp
mills, in twenty-five years the available
timber on the Adirondack plateau will
be used up. We have heard this kind
of croaking for the last forty years or
more. 1t seems to be forgotten that
timber grows"

IN manual details and in meeting
the smaller contingencies the old sail
ors became expert; but it was the man
of science who made them masters of
all the seas. He reached out for and
painfully established, by the study Of
the heavens, those basic facts which
enabled commerce to belt the earth and
rule the waves and the winds.

WE are greatly interested in forest
preservation, and in tree planting and
culture; but much of the writing on
forestry indicates a zeal without knowl-
edge. To take what is written liter
ally, one might suppose that ii would
take centuries TO restore our devastated
woodlands here in New England AS
a matter Of fact, if New England were
depopulated to-day, the forests would
be as dense, and the timber as large
and fine, in hundred years, as when
the country was first occupied by white
men.
In proof of this, we may refer to a
recent trip that we made TO our native
state of Maine. When we were about
a dozen years old, the village Of Gar
diner had no street trees at all. We
were an active member Of the first tree
planting society. In walking about the
present city of Gardiner we took much
interest in observing the trees which
we had hand in setting out, especially
about our fathers old homestead
Some of these are now well up to
twenty inches in diameter, al six feet
from the ground. This is the growth
of fifty years. So far from being tree
less, Gardiner is now a forest city.
Looking at it from the opposite of the
Kennebec river, the houses are en-
powered and hidden by the great trees,
mostly elms, naples, pines and horse
chestnuts. Many OF them ought to be
removed, for the planting was much
too close on most of the streets ana in
the yards.
EVEN here in Newport, VT, where
we have been at home for twenty
seven years, street trees that we planted
are now thirty-fve to forty feet high
and upwards of a foot in diameter
Trees in our orchard, not over twenty
years old, are over ten inches. We
suppose it to be a fact that when il
shall become necessary to grow oul
timber in New England, experienced
foresters can do it better and more
abundantly than it ever was before
More than half the native growth il
the untouched woodlands of northern
New England is of inferior quality
owing to crowding, breakage by wind
and injury by fires from lightning
etc. If the same or similar land were
planted afresh, on our old farms, ant
cared for intelligently, the value of i
in fifty years would be greater than tn,
same area of the native woods. The
only important exception would be th,
great pines, two to three feet in diam
eter, and sometimes larger, which tn
early settlers were forbidden TO cut, be
cause reserved for ellis Majesty
navy" But they make masts of irol
now.
READ this, and think it over: "Thi
is a commercial age and commercia
nation. The essential requirement O
the hour is knowledge of business
The ignorant are crowded to the wa
to make way for live, active, vigorou
young men and women who posses
the keenness of intellect aud READINGS
of comprehension resulting from
thorough knowledge of business PraC
tical knowledge is marketable and ha

Politics must be kept out of the
grange" exc aims an exchange. Party
politics have, of course, no place there; ;
but the granger laws" which were
the first effective m assure for the sup
preston of transportation abuses in the
West, were the work of the grange.
When the grange gets good and ready,
we hope it will try its hand again at
lawmaking. Abuses most injurious to
farming interests surround them on
every side. -
AN old Scotch proverb says, " Mony
mickes make a muckle," and it is a
truth which needs to be impressed on
the minds of the farmers. The farmer
who achieves success, 50 that he is
out of debt and fairly prosperous be-
fore old age, accomplishes it by atten-
ton to details. We introduce this item
not only because it is good advice, but
also to make the printer, or proof-reader,
who changed "mickle" TO " trifl9" in
our Notings" of October 5, acquainted
with the word. 1t is generally safe to
suppose that an "old hand " knows
what he is about. Try the dictionary,
please, before you correct " our copy.

WE have been asked, els it possible
to lay down series of fundamental
principles of practical application in
agriculture, to which the farmer can
constantly refer as support in all his
practical operations on the farm?
Must each individual farmer work only
by rule of thumb without any GER
tanty as to results? 1t seems to be
generally thought that the acknowl
edged uncertainties of our business make
this impossible, aud that the man of the
most practical experience, using his
experience as the basis of guessing, is
doing as well in his business operations
as the nature of his business will adj
nit"
The farmer is exposed to all the
vicisitudes of his climate, and subject
to all the fluctuations which the weather,
not only on this continent, but over the
world, imposes upon crops and prices.
But so, it may be said, is navigation
and commerce; yet few will admit that
these great industries are without their
bases in that systematized knowledge
which men agree to call science. Forty
years of toll upon the land have not
weakened our faith that other and
wider knowledge than the knowledge
gained in our daily work-unquestion-
ably essential as this is-can be brought
to our aid, and turned into dollars.
If we can be assured of this fact, then
it remains that the farmer, in order to
be truly successful, must be educated
and trained for his business.

Now science has begun to struggle
with the earth, and seeks to master it
even more perfectly than it has mas
tered the sea. Since we have begun to
be farmer and writer on agricul-
ture we have seen the science of farm
ing grow from the crudities of Dana's
" Muck Manual to the firm philos-
ophy of Storer's Agriculture" Being
among the first TO express belief in
the possibility of improving our New
England farming by special educa-
ton, such as used to be given to young
seamen in the academies and high
schools of our seaports, we have seen
agricultural colleges and experiment
stations spring up under governmental tai
initiative all over the continent. They
have great future before them, but the
difficulty is yet great in making them
connect" with things as they exist

THE " Gridiron Pendulum" compar :

THE young sailor, unless his father
was 9" forehanded" went to sea before
the mast to earn the money to pay for
his schooling in navigation. But a
small fraction of our farmers can afford
to school their sons for four, or even
two, years in a" college," The agrlcul-
tural schools to which that unfortunate
name has been affixed, are as yet be-
yond the reach of nineteen out of twenty
of those who need their Instructions
Not only should their teachings be free,
but their farms should be made to feed
their students by the labor of the stu
dents themselves.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1892-10-19

BUT in seeking this end we are far
from desiring to see the instructions of
these schools degraded to mere appren-
ticeship in farm routine. We want to
see in all their teaching chairs men VIII o
can thoroughly work out, and afterwards
in the class room lucidly explain and
illustrate, and by the fascination of
earnest eloquence fix in mind, the prin-
ciples of farming. Beginning as nearly
right as they can, these schools m ust in
a sense produce their own teachers as
they 90 on. In order to do this : they
must try to start right-heading their
ship on true course. Beginning with
many teachers taken from the literary
schools and imbued with the literary
ideal, it is extremely hard to secure this
end. But until it is firmly settled that
this is the true aim, our agricultural
colleges will be tainted with their small
classes and feeble results.

THERE have been, and still are, a
considerable number of believers in
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. " where book learn
ing only is TO be impaired. We think
there is reason in the demand. But at
the schools of agriculture and the rural
arts, education may go on to advantage,
science and art, hand in hand, each
doing its part, half the day in the class
room and the other half in the field. To
this complexion must our agricultural
schools come before they begin to do
work in which we can all fully rejoice.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.--The president
yesterday concluded his examination of
the diplomatic correspondence in the
Chilean controversy and sent the doc
uments back to the state department.
AT the cabinet meeting, which was COM
paratively brief, lasting but an hour and
half, he announced this fact and in
Dictated that the next step in the case
would not be long delayed. The ex-
pectation is that it can be submitted to
the cabinet at its meeting ON Tuesday
next.
1t is therefore thought that the earliest
time that it can be sent to congress will
be Tuesday afternoon, or more probably
Wednesday morning, as it is usual for
such communications to be made to con-
gress as soon as possible after the OPEN
ing of the days session.

there Is no reason to expect lack in the

Another fact of large importance is
that the iron output was not diminished
in December, as is usual, owing to the
stoppage of furnaces during the holi-
days. The market is fairly active.
though the enormous output gives
buyers an advantage, and Alabama and

BlCotton fell to 1877 cents during the

VOTING FOR ECONOMY.
The Holman Aaii-subsidy Resolutions
Pass the House.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The bone OF
contention in the house yesterday was
the Holman anti-subsidy resolutions.
Mr.. Holman stated that after consulta-
ton with gentlemen whose opinions are
entitled to weight, and after further ex-
animation of the resolutions he had
reached the conclusion that they were
broad enough to provide for all proper
legislation, including private pension
bills.
While making this statement he was
interrupted by Mr.. Reed, who asked if
the Columbian exposition was proper
subject, and by Mr.. Dingley. of Maine,
who asked him to specify some objects
he considered proper for legislative ac-
ton,
There was considerable acrimony
thrown into the debate, which lasted for
over two hours, there being many inter
ruptions meanwhile. Finally, by vote
of 227 to al, the house adopted the reso-
luton stating that the granting of sud
sides or bounties by congress, in the
shape Of money, public lands or other
wise, is unjust and impolite, indepen-
dent of the question as TO the constitu-
tional right Of congress to make such
grants, as it manifestly furnishes undue
facilities for the enlargement of great
private estates. The second resolution
was also adopted-yeas, 1874; nays, 80.
This provides that in view of the present
condition of the treasury no money
ought to be appropriated by congress ex-
cept such as is manifestly needed to
carry on the several departments.

Will Make Good the shortage

JAMEsBURG, n. J., Jan. 16.-The d.
rectors of the Jamesburg bank announce
that they will make good the $3.50, 900 de-
falcation of T. Wilton Hill, the dead
cashier. Bank Examiner Stone says
they must have been derelict not to have
discovered Hills populations before this,
yet he had examined the banks affairs
several times in the last ten years and
had declared everything all right. Why
the embellishments were not detected in
these examinations until after Hills
death is what the directors would like to
know. The theory that Hill commi tied
suicide is PRETTY generally believed in
Jamesburg.
