What Gets Away With Farm Profits

We have for years been studying how
to bring the foodproducers and food
consumers more closely and more
cheaply together, for the advantage of
both. Farmers and fishermen are our
chief food producers. They are, and
long have been, complaining of the in
termediary expenses, which as a rule
are as much as, and often more than,
the original cost of production. If
these expenses could be reduced one
half, it would leave a difference long
enough to span the space between
chronic hard times and modest pros
perity. In the study of this subject we
have conversed great deal with trans
porters and dealers, thinking it only
fair to try TO know whatever there is to
be said from their point of view.
From what we have learned by many
talks with railroad men and IN, rchants,
we feel that we are on solid ground
when we say that the express COM
panies have become costly and need
less fifth wheel on the public coach
and that their work should be divided
between the post-office and the railway
corporations. That the latter has not
long ago been effected is due to the
fact that large share of the profits of
the eXpressage busin IS goes into the
pockets of railway managers. The late
revelations in the matter ard manner
of the consolidation of express COM
panies show the immense stealage that
is rendered possible, even as between a
company and its officers, in the express
business.
With regard to the mercantile class,
when we ask city dealer, on commits
sion or otherwise, how it is that, 20C
miles from market, we farmers are get.
ting less than three-ffths, and often
less than one-half the wholesale price
in the cities for large proportion Of
our produce, the answer invariably il
that the expenses of doing business il
the city are prodigious, and necessitatt
large gross profits, especially on bulky
merchandise.
We have had the curiosity to pres
our inquiries in this line still farther
asking for the causes of their high ex
penses. The monopolizing of city rea
estate in Increasingly few hands ant
the resulting excessive rentals is usual,
named first; high taxes next; and la
Dor last in order, though first in gros
amount. And here comes a point w
wish to make-that the free sale of al
coholc drinks in the cities very nearl,
doubles the cost of labor, while great
lessening its value and efficiency. Thi
being the case, are not the farmer
greatly interested in making prohibi
ton effective in the cities?

Suffering Children

Our girl was beautiful baby, fair and plump
and healthy. But when she was two years
old, sores broke out behind her ears and
spread rapidly over her head and forehead
down to her eyes, and into her neck. We

lyn, but nothing did her any good. The doc
tors said it was caused by a scrofula humor

Or. Gage is Coming

DIR. o. c. Gage, the successful specialist for all
difficult diseases, whose marvellous cures in this
section have created such interest in his method
of treatment by the use of harmless vegetable rem
edes, can be consulted free of charge, follows:
Waterbury Hotel. Tuesday June I, till noon.
Montpelier, Pavilion. Tuesday, June afternoon.
Burlington, Van Ness........... Wednesday, June s.

Bristol Hotel. Thursday. June 9, from to p NJ.
Vergennes, Stevens House,. Friday, June To-
Brandon House. Saturday June IL. till noon.

If sick, be sure and see DIR. Gage, for he has no
superior in the treatment of complicated diseases,
and many of his methods are exclusively of his
own invention. For example, his great discovery
for the painless treatment of bleeding and protrud-
ing piles is not possessed by any other physician
living. He guarantees TO cure every such case or
charge nothing; and he positively cures them in a
few days, matter how large the tumors or how
long they have been treated by other specialists.

Alleman Gnesde and other leaders, at a

a view to common action. The meet

effect that the people should be sum

issued to the army not to take arms
against the people. Several speakers
denounced the notion as untimely ani

speakers were cried down, however,
and the motion was carried amid a tre-
