THE MISTAKE OF THE PEOPLE.

The error into which large number
of people had fallen was very natural
one. They had got into the way of think
ing that the prosperity of the country
was due to its size and that the way in
which it was governed would not effect
it to any great extent. They know bet
ter now. Naughter) The workingman
reasoned that with his high wages all he
needed to make him happy was to have
the goods which he must buy cheapened
by reducing the tariff. But the difficulty
in that is, that you cannot distinguish
between the consumer and the producer.
The workingman should be in favor Of
anything which will put his employers
business in condition to pay good
wages. Many of them reasoned that, as
the Democratic party was fighting the
companies with whom they were quar-
reling on the subject of wages, it must
necessarily be their friend.
l once heard an anecdote of man who,
when out walking with friend, saw a
bear and dog swapping and growing at
each other. Porte Crayon said to his
friend: II am going to fire a charge of
shot into that bear, and nothing will con-
vince him that the dog did not do it,"
Now,it seems to me as if the lesson of the
past year has taught us that there is
somebody around besides the dog this
time. We Republicans want to keep the
market of the United States to ourselves,
because tbs the best market in the world.
We wish to discriminate not against
home industries, but against foreigners.
The Democrats try to make distinc-
ton between the producer and the con-
sumner. You cannot have your goods
made in Europe and receive wages for
making them there. Do one thing or
the other. The prosperity of any coun'

Centennial of Peacham, the Only
Town of That Name,

The church in Peacham, organized
April 14th, 1904, was fortunate in having
for its first pastor, for period of forty
years, the Rev. Leonard Worcester. the
impress of whose character is felt to-day.
He was succeeded by David Merrill, a
leader in the temperance movement and
famous for his COX sermon on prohibi-
ton; after him came Asash Boutelle.
The first 65 years of the history of the
church was covered by the pastorates of
these three men.
A company of more than 1000 people,
exceeding the present population of the
town, met August 10Th to celebrate the
centennial. Special services were held
April 18th, and a series of historical
papers read.
The Rev. j. II. Worcester, D. D., of
Burlington, read biographical sketch
of ols father, the first pastor. Portions
of the paper were photographed, and
it was of great interest. The Worcester
family was largely represented at the
meeting down to the fourth generation,
there being present son of the late
Prof, Worcester of Union Seminary.
To-day the church has a resident men,
bershIp of over 200, and the largest con-
gregation of any country church in YER
mont. From the town some eminent
men have gone forth, and from the
church many ministers and missionaries.
AS in all the hill towns, the population
has been diminishing, but the farmers
are increasing the size of their barns
with faith in the future. The town has
characteristic New England commun-
ity, with Sabbath-keeping population,
and a congregation of worshipers that
recall olden times. May they continue
in the ways of their fathers through an
other century, With DR.. Bartlett we all
say: Long may God keep alive the
hill towns of New England!"-Congre-
gationalist.

The Historical Society.

The adjourned annual meeting of the
Bennington Historical Society was held
yesterday, and the following officers
were elected: President, q. W. Har-
man; first vice-president, L. P. Norton;
second vice-president, A. B. Valentine;
third vice-pTesident, j. T. Shurtleff;
recording secretary, E. L. Bates; CORE
spending secretary, II. c. Day; treasurer,
Q. ii. Cone; executive committee, DIN
Scott, L. F. Abbott, G. II. Darling, A,
j. Dewey, II. D. Hall.
A committee was raised to prepare a
plan looking to proposed consolidation
of this society with the Battle MOnu-
ment Association, to report at an adj
journed meeting at Batchelder & Bates S
office, Saturday evening, September 18th.
If the society shall think favorable of
this the proper meetings will be called
to ratify the terms in time to secure the
proper amendments to the charters by
the coming legislature. 1t is argued
that the work of the two, the Society
and the Association, from now forward,
will be largely of the same tenor, and a
consolidation will do away with the cost
of the dual organization. 1t is, also,
thought that in connection with the
other patriotic societies of the sons and
Daughters of the American Revolution,
measure may be taken to secure and take
care of the historic relics, so abundant
now, and at the same time so easily lost.
The care of the monument would form
nucleus of labor to keep the whole in
motion. We commend this brief out
line to the thoughtful consideration of
the members of both the Historical So
ciety and the Battle Monument Associa-
ton. Col. Olin Scott is chairman of the
committee.

The joker got a copy of it as soon as it

when he announced that ticket num-

bearing that number laid away Sc
