The Home Newspapers.

Burlington Clipper:
A live local newspaper ought never
to be beggar. 1t is entitled to the
support of every public spirited citi-
zen who is interested in the growth
and prosperity of the community in
which it is published. Such news
paper is one of the greatest helps to
the growth Of town that can possi-
bly, be. 1t is standing advertise
ment, always seen and always at
tracts. 1t reaches into every family
in the community in which it is pub
lished and is read by every member
thereof, 1t never let's pass an oppor-
tunity to advocate the interest of
home enterprises. 1t resents all in
situations against the character of
the citizens and the industries of the
locality. 1t lives onl v to benefit the
community. To repay its untiring
efforts it asks the support of the peo-
pie not as a favor but as just re-
compense for its labor. 1t always
gives more than it takes and is con-
sequently entitled to livelihood II
should be accorded It's rights, which
are to receive fair remuneration fol
the services that il performs. Noun
+ dertaking is commenced among us.
no fair, either of church, fire company
or Sunday school but that the com
mittee rushes to the local newspaper
to advertise the same and the Local
paper usually gives its service free.
While these committees see the value
of advertising for fairs and excur-
sions, many apply an entirely differ
ent rule to their private business.
Business is most prosperous that is
most literally advertised and nowhere
is printers ink more judiciously used
than in the home newspaper.

The Bennington woolen mills, the
largest in Vermont, have reduced
their working time to eight hours,
four days in the week. This is their
first shutdown in ten years. Mr..
Holden, one of the proprietors, at
tributes this whole depression to the
tariff uncertainty and thinks the silver
bill has little to do with the situation.
These mills manufacture ladies' dress
goods, cloakings and mems wear.
The action affects about 800 men.

Correspondence.
A Brighter Day In sight.

Editor Sitter:
Your article in the issue of July 2S,
in reference to the growth and wealth
of Vermont contains plenty Of truth
and your cone reason" is worthy of
profound meditation. Owners of Yer
mont money for the last ten or fifteen
years have been looking everywhere
but in their own state for Investments.
Anything that smirked of Western Sc
curities went almost without question.
A Western "banker" was above par,
and the more dazzlmgly brilliant his
rate per cent offer the more money
poured at his feet. Vermont investors
bought and paid for stocks and bonds
that they knew nothing about, sold by
men they never saw, based on property
that had an unknown existence, if in
deed it existed at all. This western
loan business has been conducted from
the start on mere guess work, so far as
the majority of Vermont buyers were
concerned. Conservative men have
argued against such recklessness from
the beginning, and have been laughed
at for so doing. Tens Of thousands OF
Vermont money will never be seen
again by the rightful owners, but
money that does get back will be. in
vested at home. At least, it will take
time for the smart to subside before the
fish will be hooked again. The panic
now on is the inevitable result of too
much boom town, boom railroads, boom
banks, boom manufactures. 1t has
all been carried on at the expense OF
the main industry, agriculture. Land
has fallen in price every year for the
last twenty-five years. 1t has beef
'bad form" to be farmer. Every
body wanted ''stocks" nobody wanted
land. Today the water is being squeez-
ed out Of stocks, and it is called shrink
age in values" The country will be
better for this shrinkage. After this
panic there will be call for land in
vestments. People will take off their
tar-sight glasses and notice things under
their nose a little more distinctly.
fGood farms in Vermont will not sell
for So to $40 an acre great while
longer. The agent for a Dakota or
Kansas 'loan and investment" etc. will
be less an angel Of light At this
writing wise men say the surplus hay
and grain Of the farmer must 90 to
Europe to stop the tide Of trade against
us. Exactly, the farmers Of the United
States with their soiled clothes, must
step to the front and save the national
credit The farmers do not create pan
les. Whoever heard of farmers fail
ing ON account OF big crops. Whoever
heard of a panic from an over supply
Of hay, grain, butter and cheese. Yer
mont farms are going to be in demand
shortly.

One Pat Lynch of Brattleboro is
under arrest charged with getting on
a tare and driving and whipping a
fine mare to death. Lynch awhile
ago was suspended from the letter
carrier service and since then some
parties, including Gov. Fuller, have
been trying to have him reinstated.
This will put quietus upon these
efforts. Lyuch's friends, including
the Governor, are now trying to make
it appear that Lynch is insane. 1t
will be tried today when it is expected
the erudite Levi will appear as an
expert on insanity.

The daily papers still contain long
lists of bank failures, shut downs and
assignments. This is the beginning
where the end will be and when it is
coming no man knoweth. Gold is
slowly but steadily coming back and
the treasury balance is nearly full.
This would seem to indicate that the
financial disasters were not wholly due
to the silver question, and gives color
to the republican view that the fear of
tariff legislation is the cause of the
present troubles. Time will probably
tell, but in the mean time it may be as
well to trim your sails to face none
tary storm the like of which has seldom
been equaled in this century.

Ex-Congressman Frederick Miles
of Connecticut sums up the financial
situation in this wise:
If the Democrats will repeal the
Silver law and solemnly agree not to
meddle with the tariff then we would
have easy times again. 1t is the un-
certainty about the tariff that has up
set the plans of the business world.
If we could have a new election to-
morrow the Democrats would be
swept out of existence. The Ameri-
can people could afford to pay the ex-
pense of a new election and also all
the salaries of the Democratic Ad-
ministration for four years if Mr..
Cleveland and his associates would
resign. They would be getting off
cheap at that. In fact, such an ar
rangenent would save the country
millions of dollars"

Secretary Hoke Smith was burned
in efiigy at Rome, Ohio, the other
day. The indignation was OCCASION
ed by the suspension from the pension
roll of J. l.. Reed, veteran SO wears
old. Reed was member the 11th
Illinois cavalry, Col. Robert 6. In
gersoll's old regiment. The old man
has no other means of support but
his pension, and its discontnuance
for investigation has weighed so
heavily on his mind that he has be-
come raving maniac.
Secretary Smith says he knows
nothing whatever about the case of
j. L. Reed, the S3-year-old veteran
of Ohio, who was dropped from the
pension roll, and had no connection
with it. He says: eff Reed has been
dropped, it has been done by the
commissioner of pensions, probably
for some good reason"

Only Citizens May Vote.

Judge Sanborn, OF the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals, has
rendered decision likely to attract
national attention, and which, if sus-
tained, will work material reform III
the laws regulating suffrage in many OF
the Western States. The law Of the
United States requires five years resi-
dence before naturalization. Many
States, however, permit foreigners to
vote after one years residence # they
declare their intention to become citi-
zens. Many foreigners who have
never become citizens, but have since
returned to their native countries, have
voted under such laws, not only for
local officers, but for presidential cleo
tors. 1t is possible, under such laws,
that men not citizens and never to be-
come citizens may decide local, State
and even presidential elections. But
Judge Sanborn says that State laws
conterring the right Of suffrage upon
aliens otherwise than as prescribed by
the federal law are unconstitutional
and void. If the Supreme Court up
holds this ruling, it will make mate
rial and desirable change in the con-
ferring of suffrage in several Of the
States, and the ruling certainly seems
to be based upon common sense.
