After the heads OF the departments

TALMA GE 81 VS. FAREWELL.

There was a most dramatic scene in
the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian
Church in Brooklyn on a recent even
ing, when Rev. T. De Witt Talmage,
who is moving to Washington, deliv-
cred his farewell sermon. Fully four
thousand people were present. AS
the hymn, ''God be with you till we
meet again. rang through the church
hundreds wept, among them DR.. Tai
mage himself, usually SO calm and
stole.
The preacher took his text from
Samuel H., xii, %; "I shall go to
Him." He spoke quite lengthily on
his old subject, the resurrection, and
in conclusion said:
II meet most of you for the last
time in religious service. Many of us
have been together in JOY and sorrow
and the parting would be more than
I could bear were it not for the con-
ISOLATION that we will meet and know
each other in heaven.
Looking at my entire pastorate
and residence in Brooklyn, can not
think of single thing about which to
make complaint. [ ask your earnest
prayers as go to another field of
work.
DR.. Talmage then referred to his
wife, and this brought tears to the
eyes of many of the women. He end
cd &c fNllOwS.
''Though [ go [ shall come again.
In Gods acre, only two or three miles
away from here, shall come for the
last siunaber, though l come in silence.
A host of US will rise from the same
place at the call of the trumpet that
wakes the dead. Till then, good by!
Good-by! Good by!"
After Dr. Talmage had finished, the
entire congregation knelt and prayed
for the speakers welfare, and the
farewell hymn was sung as he walked
down towards the chapel, with hun
dreds of wellwishers following.

mechanic and the common day labor
er has found ready employment. The
increasing business on the railroads
since the Boston and Maine came into
possession in this part of New Eng
land has called for great deal of rail-
road help. The road has also been
doing much in the line of improve
ment in roadbeds, culverts, bridges,
depots and the like, employing hund-
reds of men. On the whole, all classes
considered, the year has been favor
able. 1t should be said that while
merchants and those doing CONNER
cial business have done much in the
line of trade their profits have been
small, and the year to them has not
been very satisfactory one.

SRODDY.

The Democratic tariff smashers
have always been emphatic in their
claim that one of the most beneficent
results of free wool would be the
elimination of shoddy from the man
ufacture of woolen cloths IN this
country; that with tariff removed the
best foreign woods could be secured
at prices so low as to render un-
necessary the use of any cheap sub
stitute. therefor. But what is the
fact?
The Wilson act has been
now in force long enough to permit
it's just comparison with the McKin-
ley law, and the statistics of imports
knock the Democratic claims as to
the Importation of shoddy higher
than a kite. Under the Mckinley
law the quantity of wool substitutes
imported was SO comparatively in
significant as to have amounted to
little or nothing during the opera
ton of that law The quantity i'm
ported in the last year of the McKin
ldy law was only about 200, 900 lbs,
but under the first full year of the
free wool Wilson German law, the
quantity of shoddy, waste, rags, ETC.,
imported reached nearly $4,000, 900
pounds.

SOAP SWINDLERS IN VERMONT.

Reports come from the northern
section of the State that soap swim
dlers have been at work there. Their
custom is to call at a house and show
a bar of what appears to be fine white
soap and to offer to sell box at an
unusually low price. They also prom
ise that an agent will shortly follow
with wire door mats, rugs, hanging
lamps, and all kinds of valuable pres
ents, from which they can have the
privilege of making a selection if they
purchase a box of soap. In case a
purchase is made the agent brings a
a box of his "soap' from the wagon
and drives away quickly. The soap
is worthless and in a short time crum-
bIes away to a powder of lime or sal
soda. Their custom has been to select
some central point and from there to
send out teams into the farming dis
trict, cover as much territory as pos
sible and hurry away to another point
The above was sent to the MONITOR

ware of humbugs; do not take as

purports to be valuable. Such things
are swindles.

from Washington that if she intends

about it. When congress gets to-

dertake to secure the Sandwich Is

A new element has appeared in
New York city for Tammany to reck-
on with. 1t is the young voters en-
rolled in the Catholic young men, s
clubs, lyceums, societies and the
Catholic Benevolent legion. The or
gan of this society is the Weekly
Union, which gives Tammany due
notice that there are fully O,OOO vo-
ters in the metropolis who cannot be
induced by any consideration to vote
for Tammany hall, this year, if such a
vote would mean open saloons on
Sunday. The Union remarks that
this large number of citizens are duite
content and pleased to see the saloon
closed and kept closed by Roosevelt
or anyone else. This is new element
in metropolitan politics, which may
disturb many calculations as to the
vote of New. York city in November.

no substantial hopes from the action

sour that country towards all the ma

THE SEASON..

The harvest season of the year has
passed and the result is pretty well
known the country over. The hay
crop has averaged light in most sec
tions; the wheat crop in the North
western sections has been very heavy,
while the winter wheat crop has been
rather light; corn was more largely
planted and the crop is enormous;
oats and other small grains average
we'll The fruit crop, all sorts con-
sidered, has been rather light east of
the Rocky Mountains, but the Pacific
States can supply any deficiency. AS
a result of the great cereal crop, grain
and breadstuff remain low in price
and are liable to be low unless some
combine forces them up, in which case
the farmer will not get the high
price. Cattle and swine have advanc-
ed somewhat in price, but not enough
to make stock raising very profitable.
The meat product is higher, but is low
yet. Wool has ruled very low and
sheep have been in little demand. In
the eastern markets lambs and veal
caves have sold pretty we'll There
has been an Improvement in most
lines of business ov, T last year, but
the volume of business fails to reach
that of the preceding years. Manu-
facturers are trying to adjust them
selves to the present tariff conditions.
Wages are much lower than in 1892,
but are better in most manufacturing
places than they were one year ago.
In this section the farmers have not
had a very prosperous season. The
sugar crop, which with most farmers is
of considerable account, proved al
most failure, although prices were
fair and are now high. Dairying has
been at discount this year. Butter
has ruled low all the year, and while
the amount has been considerable,
the price has been rather discourage
ing. The cheese factories have been
obliged to cut the price of milk heav-
lily to meet the depression on cheese.
Hogs, calves and lambs have ruled
low. Crops in Orleans county have
been good. While grass was short in
many sections of the State, it was av-
erage here, and the hay crop was
we'll harvested. More than the usual
amount of corn was planted, and the
crop, both ears and stover, was heavy.
Farmers have fed their COWS quite
heavily through the whole season,
and great quantities of grain feed are
being drawn by them now. The
weather the season through has been
agreeable and favorable for business.
While products have been selling
low, much that the farmer and the
laborer has purchased has been
correspondingly lower, SO that the
well-to-do have got along as we'll
as during some so-called better
years. The lumber business, which still
affords employment for quite large
class in this section, has not been u.s.
ually profitable and manufacturers
have realized too low magins. In this
section of the state there has been.
perhaps, larger amount of building,
both in rural sections and in villages
than heretofore in several years. This
has been notable in most of tie larger
villages in this section. Hence the
