 Mir. Pigott claims that a part of sec- ton 67 exempted Connecticut savings banks from this very sweeping and bur densome provision. Opinions differ. about this, but one thing Is certain. There is nothing in section 67, or in any other section. which furnishes MT. Pigott any ground to stand on in de- nial of the statement that he voted to tax the savings of the people when in- vested so that they could be reached by section 59 with section 67. He has not denied 1t and will not deny 1t. He cannot even explain In any way that will content people who have a little money invested in business "done for profit" why he was willing to vote to lessen their profit and make 1t harder for them to get ahead. He and his apologists claim that some of his oppo- nents haven't paid enough attention to section 67. What ails them is that too much attention to suit them has been paid to section 59. MT. Pigott cannot escape the responsibility of voting for that section by vociferously calling at- tention to phrase in section 67.

It was made for Daniel Webster some- where in New Hampshire, about 1928 or 1850. It was taken to Marshfield when the great statesman was at the zenith of power and reputation. It was frequently used by Mir. Webster and members of his family. It was then that the name Of yellow wagon" was given 1t. supposedly because 1t was painted yellow. Years after Mir. web- ster's death 1t was found stored away on some beams in an old shed. It was sold to William Houghton of Hough- tons express. He had the wagon put in order and used 1t.
 Something like a dozen years ago there was a craze for old wagons In Franklin county. and the Webster wag- on was purchased by George T. c. Hoi- den, now of Hudson, we'll known us a landlord, and who was then residing in Greenfield. The old wagon was made to look as we'll as possible and 1t excited much interest. It was used by Mir. Holden for pleasure driving, and was shown at various times. when col lectlons Of antiquities were exhibited.
 III iioibtH binpopNN ot HE livery business to Thomas Nims. now of Athol, and the old wagon went with the remainder of the stock. Mir. Nims had no use for the old wagon and trad ed 1t one day to Henry s. Wood. re- ceiving in return bull terrier dog. The dog was named Daniel Webster, and is still alive and owned by the Nms family in Greenfield. Mr. Wood used the old wagon until he tired of 1t, and then allowed 1t to stand out of doors on Pettis plain. It now has for company several broken down carriages and the turkeys that roam over the plain use it as a. roasting place at night.
 One or two boards are missing from the bottom of the body. but otherwise than this it is capable of rendering ex- cellent service for many years to come. The axles are entirely of wood and all the iron work Is hand made. The springs are of wood and are attached to the body by leather straps.

HOY'S THIy. HEY?

The following general letter to hay buyers from a firm of big dealers in hay, straw and grain in Jersey City has just been issued: The arrivals of hay are heavier. A large quantity of it is Canadian hay, and they are offer ing their best No. stock for from SIP to SIS per ton, all duty and expense paid. This has the effect of pulling the market down fully s1 per ton. We are sorry that we are compelled to say this, but 1t is fact, and we think everyone should know the exact facts. so they can govern themselves in buy ing. There is no foreign demand, and Canada will market the bulk of her crop in the United States, and there is now no longer any doubt but what our American farmers have got to come down in price and compete with Cana da. Buy low as possible, and we will do all in our power to get the best prices for you.
 This brings to notice one of the eff fects of the "tariff reform" scheme of Messrs. Wilson, Pigott & Go. When MT. Pigott voted to reduce the duty on hay one-half did he have in mind the interests of the farmers of his district, or was he looking out for the interests of the farmers of Canada? He Is going about the district claiming to be a friend of the people. not emitting the farmers. The farmers will appreciate his friendliness when they see how it has reduced the price of what they have to sell and made still further reduc- tion probable.

An instructive and timely document lately issued from the department of agriculture at Washington is that showing how cheap a loaf of bread ought to be when flour is selling at A a barrel. It is calculated that the cost of all the materials that go to make up q pound of bread is not over two cents. and the ordinary bakers loaf weighs not over quarter of q pound. The price at which 1t retails will thus be seen to yield rather large profit. It is pointed out that in most of the large cities competition has made bread much cheaper. but even there the difference between the cost of bread to the family who bake it themselves. and to the family who buys 1t of the baker. is unfortunately large. The consumer ought to get the benefit of the remarkably low price of wheat now ruling.
