recent years, the coal companies and coal
dealers are exaciing such unreasonable
figures for coal l can say that il is not the
money paid to the miners that keeps up the
prices, and it can hardly be the fault Of the
coal dealers Competition among themselves

possible when the price, with the advantages

Otherwise, on uside capital comes in to compete.

In view of the prominence given the
candidacy of Hon. b. +. Lincoln OF Lyn-
douville for lieutenant governor by both
OF our St. Johnsbury contemporaries VIC
rise, to inquire whether they have aban-
doned the candidacy of the Hon. II. {.
Bates for the Observation-Disclosures Free
Press.
By no means, so far as the Caledonian
is concerned. Our contemporaries have
said some very pleasant words about
Mr.. Lincoln and they have been reprinted
in these columns. We learn from other
sections of the state that Mr.. Bates
name has been tavorably received and as
far as Orleans, Essex and Caledonia
counties are concerned we believe the ma
jority OF the delegates from these counties
will vote for Mr.. Bates for lieutenant
governor. If the sentiment from this SEC
ton is as unanimous for MIR. Bates as
it promises now to be, there will be no
trouble in bringing about his nomina-
tion.-Caledonian.
The above is calculated to create n
wrong impression and is hardly in keep
ing with the Calcdonian's hitherto fair
dealing There are two candidates in
Caledonia County; each has his support
ers. In Essex County Col. Mansur will
receive the vote of every delegate, and
advices from Orleans county give every
assurance of a fattering support there
How then can our esteemed cuntempo-
rary affect to believe that majority Of
the delegates from these counties will
vote for Mr.. Bates for lieutenant-gover-

the country schools, by following
the same courses of instruction
which are laid down for city and
town schools, are not educating
the boys and girls away from the
farm. A training which prepares
children for the counting room
and for trade is not suited for
those who are to make their liv-
ing from the soil, and in these
DAYS when farming must he scien-
tiic if it is to be profitable, II
would seem that the elementary
education of the rural districts
should apply itself to making far
mers. 1t is pointed out that
hundreds of farmers fail and hun.
dreds of farmers have been ruined
because the farmers are ignorant
of the bottom principles OF their
calling. If this is true, should
not the country school instruc-
ton be so differentiated from that
of the city and town that the far
mers and the farms should re-
ceive a positive benefit? 1t is
very probable that the average
country teacher is very unfit for
this peculiar service, but if a
change is needed, q change in the
preparation of teachers is nee
essary and possible. From the
kindergarten and the primary
up to the high school,
there might be a constant pur-
pose to fit the children of farmers
for the farm, by study of the
structure of the soil, the growth
of plants, the application of fer
tilizers, the knowledge of insect
and bird life, the value of food
products, etc. Children can learn
these things as well as grown
persons, and the knowledge OF
them would tend to make farm
life more interesting and prohta-
BILE. Would it not be an advance
in educational methods if the
special needs of the rural districts
were recognized, and one of the
state normal schools. were devo-
ted to the training of teachers for

TIL. Is from Democratic Sources.

The New York World says {:
The Republican outlook for 1896
will depend altogether upon the
Democratic backlook i'll that
year" Whereupon the Berkshire,
Mass Democrat comments as
follows:
What a wealth of truth there
is in this every follower of current
events must be fully aware. A
little over a year ago the Demo-
cratic party came into power by
one of the most remarkable land
slides in our history. 1t was
backed by the confidence of the
people who had become badly
dissatisfied with the policy of the
plutocratic, trust encouraging
high protectionists. The party
had chance of a generation.
Had it improvedit, its opponents
might have been kept out of
power several years; and the
chance is not gone yet if the SEN
sible men of the party will cease
listening to the cranks and
knaves and fools. But unreal
sonable protection legisla Ion in
the interests of selfish southern
crs is as disgusting to the coun-
try as the legislation which the
Republicans passed in the inter
csts of its plutocratic friends and
allies. 1t is a disgrace to the
country, a libel on patriotism.
Nor does the country want a
do-nothing party. The peoples
representatives were sent to
Washington to attend to husi-
ness but they are allowing them
selves to be prevented from doing
so by few free hooters. The
big majority appears to be al
most helpless in their hands, and
the people, not always discrimi-
mating in placing the blame, hold
the whole party responsible. 1t
may be said that the party has
not been entirely do-nothing
organization and with truth.
Grover Cleveland has certainly
made great fight and won some
signal victories for sound finance.
He has too shown disposition
to act, whenever an opportunity
has been given, for the good of
the country rather than party, a
disposition certainly appreciated
IN these hard times. The house,
too, passed a tariff bill which
came somewhere near redeeming
the party. pledges on that subject,
but it was hushed up and made
unacceptable in senate. And
now even this is not disposed of
in any way, while the business of
the country, ready to flow on
again in a mighty stream, is held
up by the uncertainty of the
course it will be allowed to take.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1894-04-20

The interests of the country
now demand a national policy,
both domestic and foreign, which
shall be governed entirely by
business opportunities. Our ma
terial interests have been para
mount and there are no other in
terests which need any attention.
The evils resulting from the neg
lect of the important interests OF
the country have eliminated in
the present administration. Bust
ness men are beginning to awake
to the fact that the politician
cannot rule them with safety.
Our financial prosperity in the
past has reached what might be
termed limiting point. 1t can
no longer bear the burden of will
full misgovernment, careless and
hostile legislation, and keen and
relentless competition by other
nations. In self defence the bust
ness man must assert his right to
be well governed, and if the poll
tician pure and simple does not
heed this demand, the ultimate
result will be that the business
man will find it essential for him
to take in hand the control of all

bradford Opinion.J
lffurther evidence had keen needed of
the discrimination that guides the course
of the Randolph Herald and News. we
have it in the following:
County politics are being talked up
quite little already. We understand
that Williamstown will present the name
OF George w. l.yndc for senator from this
probate district. He IS one of the inhu-
entail and successful farmers of the county
and, while he has not sought Office, has
been honored by elections to almost every
office in the gift OF the people OF his town.
Williamstown has not had a senator for
twenty-five years while every other town
i'll the district has been honorcd in that
time. 1t would seem that she is fairly
entitled to recognition this year, cspcci-
ally as she presents man who is i'll
every respect qualified for the office.
In the Bradford district, we understand
that the name of II. w. Bailey of New
bury is most frequently mentioned in
connection with the nomination. Heisa
thoroughly reliable and competent man
whom, as the choice of that district, we
would be glad to support.
You are just right, Brother Thayer If
any one else is thought OF in the Bradford
district we never mention him; his name
is never heard. And you don't have to
put your ear close to the ground to hear
the name of Bailey distinctly articulated
in any part of the district. Now this is
as it should he. We have known Horace
w. Bailey tor many periods, through evil
as well as good report, for he has re-
ported the news from Newbury for the
Opinion now more than ten years. He is
a large man in every way-large in mind,
large i'll ideas, large in business and large
in body with 10 abnormal development
at top or bottom. In one respect he
resembles President Cleveland in that he
wears a 20-inch collar. In another re-
spect he does not resemble President
Cleveland. for lie wears a hat commcnsur.
ate with the size of his collar. n. w.
Bailey is made OF the right timber for
State senator. He built up, by slow and
steady gains. an extensive business in
Newbury; he is one OF the directors of the
Bradford bank he has been given about
all the lesser honors within the gift of his
town and discharged their responsible
ties to his lasting credit and should he
be elected, as we believe he will. to n lar
ger field of usefulness, he will stand for
the honor, the dignity and the best inter
ests of his state as firmly as the everlast-
ing hills within sight Of which, he has
been reared.
We publish the foregoing because of
the general acquaintance our people have
Of Mr.. Bailey and his character, and
most heartily endorse the move hisfriends
are making in respect to his candidacy
and all they say about him. Further be.
cause it affects not alone the County OF
Orange. but the whole State is interested

work OF it's legislature.
