VERMONTpS DAIRY INTERESTS.

Vermont enjoys an envlable repu-
tation in the butter and cheese mar
kets of this country, and each year
serv es to show the value and import
ance of our dairy interests. Not only
is the quality of the states dairy prod
ucts improving, but the extent of our
| dairying operations is also increasing
to an encouraging degree. By COM
| pairing the reports made by the census
bareau for the past three decades it is
found that there has been credita-
BILE and encouraging increase in the
| number Of milch COWS in the state. In
1870 there were 175, 900 milch COWS re-
ported. In 1880 the number had in
creased to 217 900, while in 1890 there
were 231, 900.
A study Of the milk table printed in
connection with the report is instruc-
tive, inasmuch as it shows the average
yearly product per COW, which has
not been hitherto officially deternin-
ed. 1t appears that the average year
ly milk production per COW for the
United States is 3151s gals, or 1862
OTIS, or 2O81 lbs; for Maine, 3132 lbs.
New Hampshire, 3311 lbs; Vermont,
1922 lbs.; Massachusetts, 4097 lbs.;
Rhode Island, 1895 lbs.; Connecticut,
3613 lbs, and New York comes very
close to Massachusetts.
Vermont may be behind some other
states in the average yearly product
of milk per COW, but our state makes
up in quality in this direction, as in
others, for what she lacks in quantity.
E. A. Harris of Boston, who is one Of
the judges of the dairy exhibit at the
worlds fair, has just returned from
the exhibit and it is an interesting
story that he tells about the compari
son of Vermont butter with that of
other states There have been dur
ing the months of the fair four differ
ent exhibits of dairy products, one in
June, one in July, another in Septem-
Der, and still another in October, and
in speaking of the whole exhibit Of
butter since the fair opened, Mr.. Har
ris says that New England has led in
the last three exhibits, the butter
coming from the Moulton Brothers'
dairy in Vermont leading the whole
country. This butter, it will be re-
membered, took first prize also at the
Paris exposition. In sum total of
points for the whole Of the four ex
hibits from the different states, altho'
the final score is not yet officially an
nounced, New Hampshire leads, Conn
ecticut is second and Vermo Mt is third,
a glorious record for New England.
Vermont has every reason to be
proud of the record which it's dairy
exhibit has made at the worlds fair,
and the result can not fail to be the
winning Of still higher place for
Vermont butter in popular estimation.

REAPLNG THE WHIRLWIND.

Nothing can be falser than the con-
tention SO persistently reiterated by
the democratic orators and newspa-
GERS that the political overturn OF
1892 was the expression Of any fixed
belief on the part of the voters of the
country upon economic questions, or
the victory of any definite policy.
It may seem paradoxical, but it is
true that prosperity breeds discomfort.
The disastrous election which placed
in power that organization OF incon-
gruous elements known as the Demo
cratic party was bro't about by an art
full fusion of all the discontented minds
of the country, from the free trade
consumer Of foreign luxuries which
he wishes to buy cheap to the South :
western disciple of wild cat finance.
10 the Massachusetts, MugWump, the
democratic party promised free trade;
to the Middle State Manufacturer,
incidental projections" to the New
York capitalist, a gold standard; to
the populist, free silver and state
banking. But the underlying and
most potent cause Of the republican
defeat was the successful appeal TO
class feeling-to the doctrine that the
interests OF labor and capital were
separable and antagonistic, and that
ANYTHING which benefits the employer
must Of necessity injure the employed.
To the propagation of this heresy
the Democratic orators and neWspa-
pers and the So called "independent"
press had for years. employed all the
arts of demagogy, and November 2,
1892, saw their malevOlent efforts
crowned with brief success. The
result of that success the country is
witnessing and suffering to-day. BY
bitter experience the people are learn
ing that, in these United States, all
men are brothers, in that the inter-
ests of one are the interests Of all
that labor and capital are dependent
on each other, that, in country
where each citizen earns his own liv-
ing by the labor of either his brains or
his hands and the workingman Of to-
day may be the capitalist Of to- NOR
row, there is not, and can not be, any
line of division into :sclasses." So
we see the harangues of last year
about "monopolists, 'bloated cap
italists,' Oppressed workingmen,"
"overtaxed farmers and "robber-
barons,o have this year died into
frightened silence, as the demagogues
who uttered them are beginning to
appreciate the truth of Abraham Lin
coins aphorism: "You may fool some
of the people all the time, and all the
people some of the time, but you can't
fool all the people all the time" And
when the people once fairly see that
they have been "fooled," they may
be relied on to infiict speedy and
sufficient punishment upon the men
who have deceived them.-Jour1oal.

WHY is WOOL so LOW IN PRICEe

The call for an extra session Of con-
duced wool manufacturers to pay no
more for wool during this season than
about free wool prices because they
believed that before they could man
ufacture the wool into goods and mar
ket them, requiring at least six
months, free wool would be here. In
such an event they know that their
goods must be sold in competition
with imported wooden goods made of
free wool; the reality will be even
worse yet.
The wool growers of the United
States have lost thus far, by the pros
pect of free wool, in the decline in
the price of sheep, since the inaugur-
alton Of President Cleveland, $75, ,000,-
900. Wool growers have lost in the
decline in the prices of woods, below
those of last year, over $4,000, ,0O0
Secured wool last year was worth an
average Of so cents per pound in our
Eastern markets; now only 35 cents.
This is decline of 25 cents per scour-
ed pound. Wool declined in price in
1892 below the prices Of 1890, not be-
cause of the wool tariff law, but in
spite of it, and because of the great
decline in the price of woods in for
eign countries - decline of more
than 20 per cent in one year. The
wool tariff act of 1890 could not pre-
vent this nor the consequent decline
here. But our wools were higher in
price here than foreign prices by sub
stantially the amount of the duty. The
wool tariff, to that extent, did thus
protect wool growers. The proper
remedy is to increase the duty one
cent a pound for four years, during
which time our focks can be 1ncreas-
ed sufficiently to supply all needed
woods, and then keep out all foreign
wools.-Home Market Bulletin.

MEMPHIS. May 1.-THE levee broke this
morning on the Tensas front at Lakeport,
twelve miles below Greenviilc, and again
below Sunny Island Landing. The Ievee
was new work, having been Constructed
during the past winter, and the
breaks are flooding the lower por-
ton of Chico county. The break may
also flood the upper portion of Carroll
parish, La. Parties above the city today
report large areas under water about Cen
tennial island. dispatch from Green
Vile says that the latest news is that the
break in the levce is now over
300 feet wide, and portion of
Arkansas ia under water, which
is flowing down toward Louisiana. 1t is
reported that Arkansas City will be under
water by night, as they say the levee in
front of the city cannot hold. The cut
look Is not aattering for any Immediate
relief. rs the rise is expected to continue
for two or three days.
kEoKrK, Ia. May 1l.-Dwellers on the

of the water in the Mississippi. At
o'clock tonight it is Is feet above low wa

tenths of foot in twenty four hours, and
is within onc-teath of a foot of the high
