THE VERMONT ELECTION.

Complete returns from Tuesdays elec
ton in Vermont give Josiah Grout. rei'l =
lican, 80, 093 plurality. This exceeds ANY
previous plurality for republican candi-
date for Governor by many thousands
The result is due both to a largely increas-
ed republican vote and at the same time
to marked loss of democratic votes.
The new State Senate will, as last wear,
be entirely republican. In the House
there were 221 republicans, II democrats
and Independent two years ago, The
indications are that the democratic repre-
sentation will be less at the next meeting.
In both congressional districts there are
large republican gains, although the net
increase will probably not be as large as
on the State tickets.
W. Henry Powers republican plurality
for Congress in the first district is beiiev-
ed to be over 900 1t was 1859 in 1894
In that year.W w. Grout had plurality
of 1869 for Congress in the second dis
trict. 1t is figured that the plurality
given him Tuesday is about the same as
in the first district

"TURKISH DEMONS.'

Rev. DR.. H. Allen Upper spoke to a
crowded congregation Sunday morning at
the Seventh Baptist Church, Baltimore, on
The Reign of Terror Among the Armen-
ians in Turkey"
The address treated of governmental in
justice corruption and oppression through
out Aisa Minor; the official premium that
is put on any and every vice from which
the Sultan can possibly receive a revenue:
the deception that is perpetrated to mis-
lead the nations of the civilized world; the
massacres at Oorfa, Biredjik, Lille and
other villages, and the questions. who are
the Armenians and what is to become of
them: In speaking of the masacres of
last week in Constantinople DR.. Topper
said:
Il am not surprised at this, and the Won
der is that it has not occurred before.
During one week, while | was in Constan-
tinople, fifteen hundred Armenians were
thrown into jail by the brutal Turkish Of
ticialS, and one morning the streets were
full of excited people in anticipation of Il
riot
The dispatches that reached here
doubtless give us IA correct statement of
the recent terrible affair. A few fanatical
and revolutionary Armenians, driven to
desperation by the rotten rule, satanic saw
agery and murderouS madness of the
Turks and kurds in dealing with their
brethren in the interior, determined to
seize the Ottoman Bank and hold it for
several days, hoping to induce the Euro
pean powers to intervene in the settlement
of the Armenian question. This, of
course. was a false step. but it is impossi-
BILE to imagine the fearful ordeal through
which these wretches have been passing
and the desperate condition in which they
find themselves. with the so-called Chris
tian powers coldly looking on, after swear
ing protection for them.
This act of a few over-ZealouS Armen-
ians gave occasion for the display of the
characteristic cruelty of the Turkish de-
mons. Turks all over the city We're arm
ed with clubs and cudgels and were told
to kill every Armenian that came in sight
as they would mad dog. Between 3,00)
and children were beaten. butchered and
shot to death. The Turkish police stood
by and smiled and calvary patroled the
streets and prevented assistance coming
to the unfortunate victims. Amidst this
diabolical carnage the foreign ambassa-
doris sucked their thumbs like panic strick-
en- idiots and dared not speak a work or
perform merciful deed.
MY Indignation against the unspeak-
able Turk is only exceeded by my disgust
at the base cowardice of the powers of
Europe, who are playing false to their in
ternational oath because of fear of each
ot!e.. Is these not some word that Amer
lea can speak? Is there not some deed
that America can do.'

\ Observation-Disclosures

Most of the gentlemen who are so APP
prehensive lest some injustice may be done
to the creditor bv the reconciliation OF
silver are old enough to remember the Re
sumption act of 1873. Many of them took
an active part in securing the passage of
that law. All of them look back upon 1t
with pride. as a thing in every way credl-
table to the country.
When the Resumption act was passed a
dollar in lawful money oft the United States
such a dollar rs was the measure OF val
ne in all business transactions east OF the
Rocky Mountans-was worth eightySev-
en- cents in gold. All debts were con-
tracted and all contracts entered into up
on that basis The dollar had been worth
less than ninety cents i'll gold continuous
ly for thirteen years, and 1t had been down
at one time below forty.
The Resumption act provided that IN
less than four years from the date of its
passage this eighty-sevcn cent dollar
should be worth a hundred cents in gold.
As matter of fact that point was sub
Stantially reached in three years. The
paper dollar was worth S9S cents in 1876,
954 cents in 1877, and 99.2 cents in 1873.
If Il farmer iii 1875 borrowed 1000 III
lawful money at per cent. on three
year mortgage, his account, reckoned In
gold, would have stood like this-if the
value of money had remained stable:
Borrowed. Paid
1915. $50 1S16-Interest. $1,000
1S1-Interest. 5000
1S1S-lnterest. 5000
1S1S-Principal $1,000
Sl,O52 40
Excess of payments ............... IS. ~
The workings of the Resumption act
put the account i'll this shape:
Borrowed. Paid
1873 $50 1s,6-Interest s62 Sc
1S1-IntereSt. 66. IS
1S1S-Interest. 69.44
1s1S-Principal 992 90
$1.191.0 S
Excess of payments ...............3a 1 .OS
The excess of payments in the latter
case is equivalent to an annual interest
charge of S1O7 OF, or 1913 per cent, instead
of the per cent. the farmer agreed to
pay, and would have paid if the value of
money had not risen.
This is entirely aside from the question
whether gold itself was approaching dur
ing that period. We are taking gold as
the standard and measuring the paper cur
rency by it according to the figures fur
nished in Secretary Carlisle's recent cir
cuar of information.
The point upon which we should like
information is whether the gentlemen who
are now so solicitous about the rights of
the creditor paid any attention to this in
justice to the debtor, which was not mat
ter of theory, but of mathematical meas
urement and whether they made any eff
fort to secure the insertion of a proviso in
the Resumption act permitting debts to
be paid on the same basis on which they
were contracted-N. y. Journal.
