The South For Mckinley.

Senator Pritchard of North Carolina,
in discussing the situation in his State,
says he believes the next National con-
vention will have a solid Republican del
egatlon from his State, in favor of Nc
Kinley for President, although he admits
that Reed has many friends there. He
believes the Mckinley sentiment is
strongest because the South needs build
ing up, and that can only be done
through the policy of protection, of
which Mr.. Mckinley is the greatest liv-
ing exponent Senator Pritchard also
stated his belief in the fact that North
Carolina would send a delegation to the
convention to vote for free coinage. He
did not say whether he thought a free
coinage plank would be put in the plat
form, but he is confident that the con-
venUion will do something more than
make the usual gerfunctory promise, and
that it will declare in favor of an en-
larged and freer use of silver.

a Vermont CandIdate,

Senator Proctor is named as a candi-
date for the Republican prudential nom
ination in the New York Morning Jour
nal, which prints portrait of the Sena-
tor and this personal sketch:
Senator Redfield Proctor, Secretary of
War under the Harrison Administration,
is in training for the Presidency. Yer
mont will name him at the Republican
National Convention, and his friends
here believe that, should General Harri-
son fail to cut prominent figure at the
convention, his strength should be trans
ferred to his old friend and cabinet ad-
wiser.
Senator Proctor has been highly hon
Ored by the Republicans of Vermont.
Three terms in the Legislature were
granted him and he became member of
the State Senate soon after, where he
served as President pro TEN. In 1876 he
was elected Lieutenant Governor and
two years later assumed the Governors
chair. At the National Convention of
1883 Colonel Proctor was Chairman of
his States delegation, which cast its sol
id vote for General Harrison. Receiving
appointment as Secretary of War he re-
signed two years later to take a seat in
the United States Senate.
He served with distinction in the Civil
war and was complimented personally
by General Mcclellan under whom he
served. Senator Proctor is regarded as
safe, conservative candidate, who
would lend honor to the G.. o. p. should
he become its candidate for presidential

Dun's Review Of Trade.

Dun's Weekly Review of Trade for the
week ending April Goth, says: Neither
the rise in speculative markets nor the
steady gain in industries has ceased, and
it is wholesome that there are fewer signs
of hesitation in the productive industries
than in speculative prices. Wage strikes
grow more numerous and cause some
trouble, and retail demand lags behind
Wholesale sales and jObbing purchases
behind production in some branches, but
through many conflicting reports the
fact shines out that the Industries are
gaining, not with a rush and whirl, but
more safely.
"a number of works have advanced
wages during the week. Some shops are
closing for want of orders, but larger
number are resuming work. Prices of
shoes and cotton goods are rising. WOOlS
and woolens are lower Iron production
is retarded by shrinking demand for
products, a large demand for pipe, and
sheets slightly advance. Rails are stag
nant. Demand for dress goods continues
large and improving, but uncertainty in
mems wear goods continues. Money is
coming hither from the interior, and %
larger demands for commercial loans ap-
pears, especially from manufacturing
towns in New England and from i'm
porters.
THE failures for the week are 23O in
the United States against 179 last year,
and 81 in Canada against 26 last year"

Mrs. Mary E. Dillingham;.

The death of the wife of ex-Gov. W.
p. Dillingham;, at Lisbon, N. H., last
Thursday, will cause sorrow to wide
circle of friends. Mrs. Dillingham; had

came suddenly. She was one of the prin'
cipal members of the Methodist Society,
and president of the Chautauqua Club
several years. She was born November 18th
1916, at Sugarville, n. H., where she re-
sided until 1867, moving to Waterbury.
She married w. p. Dillingham;, Decem-
Der 24th, 1874. The only child, Paul. is
studying at East Hampton Seminary.
The remains were brought to Waterbury
forinterment.

Those open Markets.

During the eight months ended with
February, the imports into the United
States increased about SAC. 600, 600, while
the exports decreased about $75,OOO,OOO.
During the first two months OF the pc
riod, before the operations under the
new tariff became settled, there was de-
crease Of over S4,O0O,O 900 in imports. SO,
in six months the increase was not far
from Sj0,0O0,0O0. The Democratic tariff
is proving a great success as a promoter
of foreign competition with home indus
tries. 1t is building up gleat foreign
trade in the United States, and at the
same time is cutting off the opportuni-
ties for the sale of American goods
abroad. 1t started out to open 1.-THE mar
kets of the world" to the American pro-
ducer, but has succeeded in closing
them. and at the same time has greatly
reduced the home market. If the ad
minstratiOn could rush through one
more tariff bill and issue few more
patches of bonds, the American people
would have to go out of business.

A Few Words Personal.

with this issue OF the BANNER, l retire
from active labor upon it. Indeed, the
greater part of to-day's paper has been
made purely from business circumstances
that seem to point to my financial gain
in another department of literary labor.
Notwithstanding the promising prospect,
l leave the BANNER with regret. l came
upon it, as an assistant of the late j. Hal
sey Cush Ian, in 1874, succeeded him as
the principal writer in 1877, and, with
the exception of the year 1876, have been
in the continuous employ of the senior
member of the present firm, from that
day until now. During this score of
years it would not have been strange had
l come to look upon the BANNER as near
ly my own, and to act accordingly, tax
ing great pride in its issues, endeavoTing
to see that none fell below the standard
set up by the publishers and myself
that the BANNER should be a clean fam
ily paper, welcome guest to the thou

Whether have succeeded or not in ac
complishing this the record shows, and
the fact remains that many of the best
years of my life have been spent in the
service of the journal from which l now
retire. From this time forward the edi-
torial labor will fall upon the publishers,
mi th ct1ah aScicfnnnn fhnu
ploy, and the junior member will, prob
ably, pull the labOring oar. He is a
young man who has been brought up in
the business, and have perfect conf
dence in his success. The position { as
sumo tomorrow, with The Fraternity
Publishing Company, is a continuation
of the work of several years past, and l
shall continue to reside in Bennington.
1t is quite likely that the habit of years
will prevail occasionally and that some
of my writings will continue to find their
way into the columns of your favOrite
home paper. 1t is a source of gratifica-
tiOn to me to know that the BANNER
firm possesses much better facilities for
business now than when l first knew
them. The experiment of last year,
when the SEMI WEEKLY BANNER was
begun, has become an assured success,
and with facilities unsurpassed and init
mate knowledge of the needs and senti-
ments of the community, they are we'll
conditioned to assume the additional la
Dor and responsibility. In conclusion l
would like to say, that in all my writing
of local affairs, it has been the intention
to tell the truth without sensational eff
feet, to speak pleasant word In seasons
of joy, to sympathize with those in
trouble and affiictiSn, and in a like man
ner have been the recipient of favors at
your hands. These recollections will
ever remain pleasant memory.

With this issue, Mr.. H. L. Stillson,
sewers his connection with the BANNER
after long service, extending over pc
riOd of twenty years. During all this
WHILE it has been his aim to give this
paper high reputation throughout the
entire State, for conservatism and reli.
ability. His natural abilities and long
experience in the newspaper field, to-
gether with a personal acquaintance
with nearly every prominent man in the
State and devotion to the interests of
the Town, County and State, have en-
abled him, we believe, to attain this AIM
We believe that he has made the BANNER
respected and admired, at home and
abroad, and an authority upon all mat
ters pertaining to Bennington and Ver-
mont. Personally his abilities, qualities
and geniality have won for him the re-
spect of all with whom his labOrs have
brought him in contact. The publishers
take great pleasure in saying that they
believe his work to have been well and
faithfully performed, and to wish him
an abundance of success in the future.
In addition to his newspaper duties, Mr.
Stillsou has done large amount of his
torical work bearing upon Masonry and
Odd Fellowship. There are few in the
State or in the Country who are recog-
nized as so high an authority and are so
we'll versed as he on all Masonic work
and history. His best known work is in
connection with the "History of Mason
ry and Concordant Orders" of which he
was editor-in- chief. The work has had
an immense circulation, on this CONT
nent and on the old, and has given Mr.
Stiilson an international reputation as
Masonic writer. For several years he
has had financial interest in the Fra
ternity Publishing Co., of Boston, the
publishers of the History just referred
to. His duties in this connection have
gradually become more exacting until
the alternative has now presented it.
self of either dissolving his connection
with that concern, or of devoting his
whole time to its interests. He mutually
adopted the latter course. Several new
works, of which he will have editorial
charge, are in contemplation for the near
future and he will undoubtedly add fur
ther to the honors he has already earned
as a writer in his chosen line of work.

The decline in the value of the horse,
is one of the remarkable facts of the
period, In 1894, good horses which had
been worth $500 and $500 began to sell at
$50 and $50, and those of the hack variety
at much lower figures. At the recent
Madison Square Garden sale of blooded
horses only, those with first class pedi-
grees and of perfect beauty and style
which would have sold a few years ago
for 81 800 apiece, went for some $50 to
5000; and one which had brought $500 as
a yearling sold for S175. The explana-
ton of this slump" is to be found in
the extension of the use of electricity as
a motive power, and the growing popu-
larity of the bicycle.

The latest from Nicaragua is to the ef-
feet that the United States has ordered
two gunboats TO Corinto to protect
American interests. The dispatches say
that Great Britain has granted a stay of
fifteen days time. This is better than
nothing. The Cleveland administration
allowed the British to occupy the Mic
araguan port of Corinto, every vessel of
our feet was ordered hundreds of miles
from the coast, no consular or diplomatic
agents are on the ground, and Cleveland
had fixed things to give away the ap-
proaches to the great canal to his Eng
lish admirers. The present burst of pa
triotism is in response to the demands
of the American people, who feel out
ragged at the supineness of the Demo
cratic managers at Washington. The
United States could not be placed in a
more humiliating position than it is now
in all this Nicaraguan matter. We have
the most at stake and yet we are not to
be permitted to furnish one of the arbi-
traitors should the British hon conde-
scend to arbitrate. A pretty state of af-
fairs

The way in which the proposition to
nominate Southern man for President

In the State of New York this year
there are to be elected, a Secretary of
State, comptroller, treasurer, attorney
general, State engineer and surveyor,
and judge of the court of appeals. The
five department officers mentioned, as
well as the Senators, are to hold Office
for three years, and the latter will take
part in the election of a United States
Senator to succeed Mr.. Hill, besides sew
eral county officials. Apropos to this,
the Troy Telegram remarks: "The Re-
publican party can best prove its good
faith in behalf of reform and pure adj
ministratiOn by renominating the pres
ent State officers. They accepted the
nominations for their present places two
years ago when the old stagers were flee
ing from the convention, declaring that
there was no chance for the ticket and
that they did not enjoy defeat. In con-
sequence, a ticket of young men was
nominated, and the young men of the
State rallied around it with an earnest
ness and enthusiasm that swept into Of
flee by majorities which even Maynard
lied canvassing board dared not count
out. These officials have not made a
very great noise in party circles, but they
ha' e been on duty every working day in
the year and attended strictly to bust
ness. There has not been a scandal or a
shadow of suspicion cast upon their
work. We know that many men are
looking for these places now who
spurned them two years ago, but tine

the brave young men who shouldered a
forlorn hope, entered into the canvass

No patriotic man can contemplate the
exalted place open to the United States
among the nations of the earth without
being disgusted at the so-called "Ameri-
cam craftsmanship of the Fryes and the
Lodges and the Morgans, which would
degrade this republic to the level of a
common ruffian and bully constantly
strutting about with chip on his shoul-
der, defying any one to touch it. says
the Harpers' Weekly.
If the patriotic sentiments of Senators
Frye, Lodge and Morgan have been too
loudly expressed, the fault is a decided
virtue in contrast with the Hawaiian,
Samoan, Nicaraguan, and other "Ameri-
CAM craftsmanship of Cleveland and
Gresham. The senator's protested
strongly against the Administrations
infamous proceedings in Hawaii, and its
general show of weakness in the uphold
ing of American honor abroad. 1t is
this contrast, so odious to the CleYeland
followers, that calls forth such express

In 1892, under the Mckinley protective
tariff, our expectations exceeded our i'm.
portations by S2O2, ,S75, $50. Under this
most healthy condition of home indus
tries, Commissioner Peck's report, twill
be remembered, showed a gain Of many
millions in wages, in New York State
alone, during the first year of Mckinley
ism. Everyone who wanted work could
have it; wages were high, industry was
booming; business men were making
money. The wages and profits arising
from the manufacture of the articles we
consumed were kept at home. This is a
great contrast with the present, under the
Democratic tariff for revenue. During the
first three months of the present year,
the imports of wooden goods from Eng
land alone were about IS, S,SOO,OOO, against
81, $50, 900 during the whole of last year,
showing an astounding increase IN i'm
pOrtations. Linen goods, cottcns and
other manufactured goods, show the
same relative increase. The British la
bOrer receives the wages; the American
is out of it. These figures only demon
strate the more strongly the extent to
which the interests of the American
workingmen have been sacrificed to the
ambition of the Democratic statesmen.

Here is another "pOinter" for the
American workingman. At the recent
meeting of the Association of Chambers
of Commerce of the United Kingdom,
the new American tariff was the subject
of the most fervld kind of eulogies. Sir
Albert X. Rollit, the president of tile or
ganization, said: American tariff re-
form has Notwithstanding the adverse
influence of the resurrection of the silver
question:, so far stimulated our export
of cotton goods as to have doubled their
value in February as against January, to
have increased the quantity from eleven
to eighteen million yards during 1895 as
against the corresponding period of 1894,
and to have made this years shipments
exceed those of two years ago in Doth
quantity and value. Similarly there
have been larger linen shipments to the
States for both the last month and the
two months of the present year, while in
woolens the advance in values has been
three times, and in worsteds four times
more than in 1894, and IN quantity quite
400 per cent. So, too, the same benefc-
ial influence has made itself felt in great
increases during both the month and
year and in both quantity and values of
our consignments to America of cutlery,
rails and iron and steel goods generally,
and more especially of tin plates, as also
in earthenware and china, and, to the ex-
tent of 600 per cent, in shipments of raw
wool" 1t was most appropriate that
the proceedings of the association should
close, as they did, with a congratulatory
banquet to Ambassador Bayard, at which
President Cleveland's name was toasted
With the utmost enthusiasm.
