FIFTY YEARS AGO.

Fifty years ago the laborer worked
more hours and harder for his pittance
than the men of to-day dream of. He
was poorer fed, poorer clad, and poorer
housed. His wages were paid to him IN
money issued by banks in different
States, each dollar of which was subject
to discount, or loss, as the banks fire.
quently tailed. Clothing was no cheap
er than now. The only carpeted room
in the house was the parlor, and that
had only a rag carpet. Sewing machines
were unknown, and there was no piano
or organ to make the evenings at home
pass pleasantly, and the only light was a
tallow dip or whale oil lamp. Tea and
coffee brought high prices, and meat
was used but sparingly. The best me-
chanics received only S1.5O a day in the
cities, and less in country towns, and la
borers could earn only IS cents to 81 per
day.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

Activity is still characteristic of coal
ers, and the stock market last week,
though dull, was enlivened with numer-
Gus rumOrs of further consultations. 1t
was claimed that the Pennsylvania peo-
pie had been bought off. This, to-
gother with the announcement that the
Delaware & Hudson had entered the
Reading agreement, caused an upward
movement, but it was not participated
in by the. general list OF the twelve
most active stocks only four show net
gains as the result of the weeks trading

Chicago Gas and y in New England.
Money remains quiescent, with rates
on both call and time remarkably low
Wall Street is industriOusly circulating
denials that recent exports of gold are
indicative of anything notable, but the
country evidently takes the indication
more seriously. General trade coRtin-
ues dull, with few features deserving of
attention. If one were called upon to
summarize the business situation in a
single sentence he could do so by calling
it waiting one.

that has long prevailed, that Vermont
could never be manufacturing state.
1t is found generally that manufactures
are built up wherever good OppOrtuni-
ties are offorded and encouragement is
given. To secure manufacturers it is
first necessary to have some advantages
and then let the fact be known. That
Burlington has been able to offer such in
ducements as to determine large shoe
factory to cross the continent to enjoy
her privileges is good evidence in her
favor. Probably no town in the state
has done So much rO advertize it's advan-
tages as has Burlington and no town has
made so great progress. In the sales of
farm property, Barnard leads all other
towns. Last summer Barnard did some
liberal advertising of its advantages.
These facts tend to the conclusion, that
it is a wise policy for towns or localities
possessed of natural advantages or at
fractions to let the outside world know
what they have. A little judiciOus ad-
vertising is liable to bring large return.
From the industries already estab-
lished there comes generally report of
prosperity, and the many extensions
made to their plants would Indicate that
they had reported correctly. or the
towns claiming large increase of exist
ing industries may be noted Barre and
Dummerston in the production of gran
lite, Proctor of marble, Pawlet, increase
in slate quarrying. Morgan and An
dover, increase IN production of lumber,
Thetford, large addition to their tish-rod
factory, Randolph, increase of business
at furniture factory, Vershire, extension
of copper mining, Ryegate, increased
production of brick and Weybridge OF
wood pulp.
The information received points to a
still greater progress for the year 1872
than in the year just closed. Several
large enterprises are only awaiting the
opening of spring. In this list we find
the towns of Windsor, Dummerston,
Montpelier, Tunbridge, Fairlee, Chelsea
and Groton that expect to undertake
new work in quarrying and working
granite, BridpOrt and Manchester are to
work new marble quarries, Westminster
is to have paper mill, Ludlow 6O,OOO
WOODEN factory, Dover expects to do an
extensiv business in mining iron ore,
Springfield has in view railroad and
new hotel, Lexington has organized a
Stock Co. with S2500O0 capital to de-
velOp its mineral springs and build a
nOJcl anu burlington Is cApCCtillS w o.
cure several new enterprises.
The only new railroad construction
that has come to our knowledge for 1891
is the extension of the Narrow Guage
road from Readsboro to Wilmington,
thereby opening up the upper portion of
the Deerfield Valley. In all the CORE
spondence held with officers of the
several towns of the State, in'visiting the
several counties during the past three
months attending Institutes held by the
Board and making many inquiries
among the people, there has been very
little discomfort, dissatisfaction or dis
enlargement manifested, but rather a
hopeful, wide-awake, aggressive spirit,
disposition to make the most of the
advantages at hand and we feel that the
past year is but the beginning of an era
of development and prosperity.

The question of choosing business is
a serious one. AS rule, a young man

has preference. If he has no particu-
lar choice, it would be well for him to
try different occupations, until he finds
one that suits him. | do not counsel

ought to stick to it, writes Russell Sage

young men who entered employments
reluctantly, and after trial became fond
of them. A young man must be de-
termined to succeed. After all, there is

A FAIR JULY TRADE
In Merchandise Despite Various Re-
stricting Influences.
BREADsTUFFS CONTINUE WEAK.
Dairy Products Firmly Held at the Recent
Advances.
AN IMPROVED DEMAND FOR FLOUR.
OFFICE OF The DISPATCH,
PITrSRTIRQ Julv III

OFFICE OF The DISPATCH,
P1TTsBURe. July H.
The volume of business in wholesale mer-
camille lines has shown fair proportions
thus far in July, despite the labor troubles
and the fact that the movement at this
season of the year invariably begins to
show slow and hesitating tendency. Trade
to-day was satisfactory in nearly all lines,
especially for Monday, and in one or two
branches rather unusual activity was noted.
There was heavy purchasing ofprovisions,
round descriptions of groceries and country
produce, and in well-informed circles it was
intimated that such purchasing was for
account of contracts for supplies for the
militia to be quartered at Homestead. Col
lect1ons were reported fair.
Regarding prices few radical changes de-
veloped. Breadstuffs continued to show
ease In the absence of any urgent demand.
The demand for -four, however. was better,
around to lay in supplies before the new
wheat flours came on the market. The ease
In grains was ascribed to lower prices in
Chicago. Oats were offering there this
morning &c per bushel below last weeks
Merchandise brokers generally reported
business slow, which indicates that whole
salers are pretty we'll stocked.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Only one transaction occurred on call at
the Grain and Flour Exchange this morning
-one car No. 2 white oats, the year, at 3315c.
There was very little disposition to do busf-
ness, and, as will be noticed, buyers and sell
lers did not succeed in getting very close to-
gether.
