IT was the policy Of the Harrison

standard of value in the United

able to learn of the design of the

will not be changed. There will be

force a change and then a howl
from Wall street will be heard loud
enough to wake every Shylock i'll

About two years ago the New Milford Gazstte began to agitate the feasibility of developing the water power of the Housatonic valley. Other papers in the valley joined hands with the Ga zetts in bringing the subject to the at tention of the public both far and near, but the Gazette devoted more time and space to the subject than any of the other papers did. It is gratifying to notice that those efforts were not without re- suits and that enterprises are projected in the vicinity of Brookfield and New Milford. and extensive operations ara contemplated near Zoar Bridge. The unutilized water power along the Hous- atomic river is unlimited, and there is no good reason why there should not be ceaseless hum of machinery from Pittafeld, Mass, to tide water at Shel- ton near Long Island Sound.
