Vermont farmers may have serious obsta-
Giles to contend against, as have the tillers of
the soil in all parts of the country, but they
can congratulate themselves that seed time
and harvest come to them with a combina
ton of regularity and bountifulness that is
exceeded in very few sections. There have
been crop famines of various kinds in differ
ent parts of this country at one time and
another, but it is doubtful if anything has
been experienced in this country like the
fodder famine which is now said to prevail
in Germany United States Consul j. c.
Monaghan at ChemntZ, announces through
the state department that there is serious
scarcity of hay and other kinds of fodder in
the Fatherand, and the deficit is so great
that it has taken the form of a national cal
amity. The crop failure is 50 widespread
that protests are being made against the
autumn army manoeuvres, and active meas
ures are being taken to afford relief,
Some idea of the extent and seriousness
of the famine can be gained from the state
mrnt that farmers in all parts of the empire
are selling OF Strengthening the least valuable
of their herds in the hope that they can thus
save the remainder, and reports from the
local agricultural clubs show that the sales
range from ten to eighty per cent of the en-
| tire stock. Reports from some districts are
| to the effect that sheep could not be sold at
| any price and it will be necessary to slaugh-
ter sheep by the Wholesale this fall i'll order
To save foddcr, 1t is estimated that in adj
ditiun 10 the general slaughter of sheep it
will be necessary to kill half of the cattle
this autumn in order to save the other half.
All this Of course, cannot fail to effect
the fodder and meat markets for IA long
time to come, and the present ovelsupply OF
mcuA in Germany is certain to be followed
| by IT scarcity. Consul Monaghan expresSe,

The New Tariff.

All good citizens of this country who be
lieve that the policy of protection is one
that is peculiarly adapted to promote Amer
can industries have, of course, been hopeful
that some unforeseen influence would lead
the democrats to abandon their expressed
determination to Smash the present tariff
As the extra session of Congress progresses,
however, it becomes more evident daily that
the democrats have their eyes fixed upon the
goal of tariff revision, and in spite of the
warnings that they have already received
upon every hand to de,ist, they continue to
cherish the idea that they We're elected for
the express purpose of wiping out 'robber
tariff -
That a large majority of the laboring
people of this country We're persuaded into
the belief last fall that they were ground
under the heel of the capitalist through the
medium of the tariff, and also made to pay
a heavy tax upon everything that they wore
or consumed, there is not the least doubt.
The idea was very plausible, and inasmuch
as the fact that some articles actually sell in
this country for less than the amount of
duty imposed upon the same articles when
imported, was not allowed to weigh it was
an easy matter to convince the laborer that
he was being robbed
But, if the laboring people were led
astray by the specous arguments of the
democratic press and campaign orators it
did not require very long time for them
to be convinced of their error. Ample evil
dence of this reaction is furnished by the
expression of opinion by laboring men in all
parts OF re country, as we'll aS by the petit
tions which are being sent to the democratic
| Congress asking that the tariff be let alone.
| Our democratic friends seem to ignore all
| this, however, and for once they appear to
| feel duty bound to carry out Il promise made
in their party platform.
II is barely possible that the majority in
Congress will proceed to deal with the tariff
question in full accordance with the idea
that protection is Unconstitutional and a
| fraud, - but we shall watch with no small
degree of interest TO ascertain how the de
mands of various indus. al interests in the
South for protection are treated 10y this ''re
| fOlmn Congress, If these interests are a f
lorded the protection for which they ask, il
|
tional in the eyes of the democrats only
when it is applied TO the solid South, ano
the bogus nature Of the pai1v's reform pre-
lenses will readily and fully appear,
In the meantime we are given some idet
of the nature of the tariff scheme which tn,
democrats propose 10 substitute for the law'
now in force. 1t is stated that the Mill
bill will be the basis upon which th. new
tariff measure viii he modelled Frea raw
material a tariff of about one cent PEI

Mr.. Holman the great Indiana obiector,
has introduced into the House of Represent
atves bill which aims to free national
elections from the corrupting influence of
money 1t seems to cover the whole field of
expenditure at national elections, as it rem
ders it unlawful for any person to give,
advance or permit any of his or her personal
property to he used directly or indirectly to
aid, assist or influence any person or persons
to vote for or procure the appointment of
any person to any office under the govern
ment. ~
We wish we could entertain any hope that
such bill could become law; but there is
not the slightest possibility that this demo-
cratic Congress will pass any such measure.
The democrats will, if they can, between
now and the next national election. repeal
every existing safeguard for honest cleo
lions, and they will enact no law which
would interfere with their purpose to con
troll all the national elections, by fair means
or foul, for an indefinite time to come.

Charles G. Beanan, the law partner of
Joseph H. Choate, is talked of as the repub
lican candidate for judge of the Court of
Appeals of New York
The absorbing question in North Carolina
politics to-day is: Who will Zoe Senator Ran
sons successor? A determined effort on
the part of the populists of the State will be
made to defeat Ransom. A name mention
ed in connection with the senatorship is that
of C. NJ. Steadman of Ashvile
Josiah Quincy of Massachusetts is in
Washington for few days to get democratic
campaign speakers.
1t is reported that Hon. Geo. Fred vii
lams will present Hon. j. f. Russell name
for governor to the Massachusetts demo
cratic convention,
1t is stated that the New York senators
mean to require President Cleveland to APP
prove Judge Maynard's nomination and sur
render patronage in the city to Tammanv as

The indications point to the nomination of
Greenhalge by the republicans of Massachu-

The coming canvas in Brooklyn over the
mayoralty promises to be notable The
democrats will vindicate Mayor Body with

gested for the republican nomination is that
of Francis Wilson. one of the founders of

foulths in the duty on many other articles
these are some of the details of the proposed
measure.
This of course, is mere outline, and is
more the CONSENSUS of the opinion of the dem
ocrats of the committee on waysa and means
than otherwise, as there has been no action
on the subject or general discussion. The
hearing before the committee on the subject
of the tariff is closed and the people will
soon have an opportunity TO see for them
selves what sort of tariff scheme the dem
ocrats have concocted by which they can
eliminate all protective duties from tariff
and still promote the industrial interests of
our country.

It's when the birds go piping and the daylight
slowly breaks.
That. clamoring for his dinner, our precious
baby wakes
Then it's sleep no more for baby, and it's sleep

For,when he wants his dinner, why, it's dinner

great ado,
While gran'ma laughs,l
And graupa laughs,
And wife. she laughs,
And well, laugh. too!

That, like as not, that baby was the first we'd
ever had
But sakcs alive! he isn't. yet we people make
As if the only baby in the world had come to
us
And morning, noon and night time, whatever
he may do,
Grann she laughs
Granpa he laughs,
Wife, she laughs
And |, of course, laugh, too
But once-a, likely spell ago-whcn that poor
little chick
From teething or from some such ill of infancy
fell sick
You wouldn't know us people as the same that
went about
A-feehn good all over. Just to hear him crow
and shout:
And, though the doctor poohcd our fears and
said he'd pull him through,
Old gran ma cried,
And gran pa cried.
And wife, she cried
And Yes, | cried, too.

With hi. evcrlastin growing and his dimpling,
The patter of his pinky feet make music every

And when he shakes those fists Of his, good-by

From the Westminster Review.
There is a common belief that alcohol
gives new strength and energy after fatigue
sets in. The sensation of fatigue is one of
the safety valves of our machine; to stihe
the feeling of fatigue, in order to do more
work, is like closing the safety valve so that
the boiler may be oyerheated and ex-
plosion result 1t is commonly thought that
alcoholic drinks aid digestion, but in reality
the contrary would appear to be the case,
for it has been proven that meal without
alcohol is more quickly followed by hunger
than a meal with alcohol. In connection
with the sanitation of armies thousands of
experiments upon large bodies of men have
been made, and have led to the result that,
in peace or war, in every climate-in heat,
cold or ran--solders are better able to en-
dure the fatigue of the most eXhausting
marches when they are not allowed any
alcohol at all The mental eXertions of all
kinds are better undergone without alcohol
is generally admitted by most people who
have made the trial. 1t appears certain
that from 20 to 80 per cent of crime, 81 to
30 per cent of all poverty and from 10 to 40
per cent of the suicides in most civilized
countries are To be asclibed to alcohol.

Secretary Hoke Smith has at last admit
ted the public into his confidence in relation
TO pension matters. He says that it is wrong
to suppose that he is common enemy to
pensions, and in this all must agree, He is
a most uncommon enemy of pensions. No
one can justly complain when the name of
D man who is receiving a pension through
fraud is removed from the pension list, but
this was not all that the secretary of the
interior started out to do, as evidenced by
the reversal of his famous order in relation
TO pensions. lioke sees that lie made a great
political mistake and he is now evidently
-ndeaN oring to regain the ground which he
has lost in the public estimation by his out
rageous treatment Of the defenders of our

The appointment of Judge Hornblower

death of Judge Blatchford, is regarded as a
distinct slap at the Tammany- Hill machine

place Mr.. Cleveland evidently preferred to
recognize a personal friend and admirer,
and please the anti-snappers, " rather than
to secure man like Mr. Phelps of national

The democratic governor of West Nir-
ginia is the author of the statement that the
removal of the duties on coal would close
the mines of the Old Dominion and of West
Virginia, and would paralyze the labor of
that section. What is true of the coal in
dustry in Nirgnias is true of other in
dustries in other parts of the country to a
greater or less extent; and yet many demo-
Gratis say that the fear of democratic tariff
tinkering, as reflected in the present de
preston, is utterly senseless, Democrats
who make this assertion must be mentally
obtuse or morally oblique.
