Ex-cov. HalIin "Men of Vermont. -

Mr.. Editor: Please let me correct an
error found in Mr.. Davenport's paper
in your last. The statement made by
him is that Ex-Gov. Hall presided at the
monster meeting on Stratton Mountain.
] was at that meeting and know all
about it. The president of that meeting
was my father, who said afterward that
the happiest moment of his life was
when he introduced Daniel Webster to
the fifteen thousand people there assem-
bled, and who spoke three hours with
his mastery oratory to an interested au-
dience. Fifty-four years ago the 18th of
June, was an eventful day to the citi-
zens of Windham and Bennington coun-
ties, who met in District Convention,
and nominated the Hon. Hiland Hall to
represent them in Congress. No such
unique and grand assemblage has since
met as gathered around the log cabin
constructed in the wild locality. The
outpOuring of the people in all sorts of
vehicles, drawn by oxen and horses for
80 or 40 miles over rough roads, before
railroads were built, the vast throng
staying on the grounds over night with
nobody to give shelter or food, was
something never heard of in any politi-
cal excitement since. The old Harrison
songs and the hero of Tippecanoe will
never be forgotten by the old Wings of
81 years ago, by those who still survive,
and no campaign since has equalled it
in enthusiasm. S. E. RANNEY.

Lieut. Haigh OF the Brattleboro COM

competed with the U. V. NJ. team be-
tween and IL a. M, and at the close of
the competitions the prizes were pre-
scented.
The boys of Co. K feel quite highly
elated over the success of Sergeant Arm
strong in bringing home one of the
prizes. He was selected as one of the
four sergeants of the command at al
most the last hour, and his success is
gratifying to all the friends of the COM
pany, as well as to the command that he
represented.

The object of the meeting was 20 discuss

There was present q good attorlanca Of

From The Indiana Farmer.
Much has been said Of late through 'he
press upon the subject If the low price OF
wheat and its causes All have agreed on
one point and that IS that the price IS low
ami here they divide.
ann aware that the farmers have I'm the
past often regarded the millers as their
enemies. bur I viii attempt TO show briefly
why the interests OF farmer ana miller are
identical and that by reason of the feellnS
mentioned. the causes 81 low prlced wheat
have not been removed
First. the miller is the best customer the
farmer has, and is always in the market
and always pays the market price for the
wheat. The market is not made by the mi
Ter bat IS practically made by the LiFeIpool
operator Except during the first month
or TWO at the beginning Of each crop year
the mfIcrs take the bulk OF the wheat
brought to market. During the hrst two
months. the movement is very heavy ana
much is exported. but after this little goes
for export from localities where there are
mills Remove the milling industry from our
country and our wheat must go abroad and
come ia competition with the poor and cheap
wheats Of Europe and India. Not only is
this true, but the ofral is lost to our farm
crs The foreign miller Will not use Amerl-
can wheat until it comes down in price TO
the poor wheat Of Europe and India, but
the American hour could be placed in every
it's. il not shut out by prohipitory foreign
tariffs. II has done this in many markets
in the face of their own tariffs. In talking
with "A gentleman from Holland, not long
since, ho said. i'm answer to my query as to
how much American wheat their native mill
Iers ground: "They do not grind any, be-
cause they can get Indian and European
wheat so much cheaper. They are anxious to
use your fine American wheat, but can't
pay the price and compete in the market
with their flour. OF course their flour is
much inferior to your American article, and
they realize the fact, but can't remedy the
defect I think they realize that your mill
lers will eventually ruin their business, and
therefore they are asking for a duty on
American flour"
He simply gave the situation the world
over. The foreign miller will only take our
wheat when IL is either sold at the low
price realized for poor foreign wheat or
when their crop is short ana they must have
IL. ON account of better wheat and better
facilities and having attained higher de-
gree of art in manufacture. the American
miller can produce the best flour in the
world. His market is at present narrowed
