the lawyers look at business interests
from different standpoint than those
who are engaged in them. In many
cases unquestlonably they endeayor to
decide with fairness on the question in
volved, but in some, especially such as
this matter of money contraction, they
forget other interests than their
own. Thus some of our lawyer repre-
sentatives look with professional care
to the interests of a great corporation,
but will vote tor contraction of the
currency, ignoring entirely the greater
interests of the farming constituency at
home that put them in office.
So the trouble came, in the passage of
the last tariff bill, to the farming in
terests. There were men in the demo-
cratic party to look after the iron and
steel interest, the coal interest, the man
ufacturing interest, but there was no
sturdy farmer on hand to look after the
farming interests. And therefore whilst
a sufficient tariff was kept on iron, steel,
coal and the various manufactures, it
was entirely taken off from wool.
Probably grosser political blunder was
never made by great party. 1t alone
would probably have cost the party its
success had not other and graver ques-
tons arisen that may destroy it en-
tirely. So tar as the present upris-
ing of the farming population of this
country in the republican party comes
from a perception that their interests
were not properly considered in this
democratic tariff, we wholly sympathize
with them; but with a little careful
thought they will all see that outside of
the single interest of wool, which in Yer
mont now affects but slightly only a few
of her farmers, any increase of tariff,
possible or not possible, could not in
sure "living prices for the products OF
the American farm or workshop" The
whole suggestion is a delusion and
fraud, the truth being that a contracted
currency has brought upon the people
hard times, which can only be remeded
by a removal of the cause. Had this
fatal condition of the national currency
been set forth in this resolution and a
remedy suggested, its authors would
have been in accord with the party.
Failing to do this, they were not so in
accord, and it is safe to say would not
be chosen again to act in a similar ca
pacity.

We're blent the rays of many hucs that carpet
every room.
But, humble though the dwelling be- there's
peace and love within,
And in the blessed air without no faint of city
din
Let vulgar ostentation play in gilded halls its
part,
Our home a palace is for me-a palace of the
heart.
Although am Injured to work and tanned
russell brown,
would not cringe to any king that ever wore
crown,
And as l fill these freeman lungs with whole
some mountain air
envy not the sons of pomp their fashionable
glare.
IT'S said "fine feathers make fine birds" if so,
not such are We;
Our plumage, though not rough or coarse is
plain as plain can be.
No French modistes their calling ply among
our rugged hills;
No talors 1.-THE our modest means with purse
depicting bills.
We care not for the price of stocks, nor if they
fail or rise,
And white Tipped Panic comes not near our
rustic paradise.
We have enough for all our needs, because cur
needs are few,
And, plying all who false lives lead, we try
to lead the true

DEATH IN THE CHANNEL.
The Band of Immigrants Fell Before an
Unexpected Peril.

We were camped on the east bank of
Bear river ten miles below the mountains,
and the banks on that side for mile up
and down were 20 feet above tho surface
of the stream. 1t being midsummer the
water was only few inches deep. At l
O'Clock in the afternoon band of emf
grants appeared on the opposite shore
There were five wagons, % people, 30
horses. The banks on that side were only
five or six feet high. To reach tho cast
bank they must travel up or down the bed
of the stream TO natural cut. They head
ed up stream. We gathered on the bank
and saluted them and passed questions and
wished them luck in the new homes they
were seeking beyond the mountain.
The last wagon had entered the bed Of
the stream, which was perhaps 100 feet
wide and the foremost was quarter of Il
mile above us, tho men cracking their
whips and shouting, the women singing,
the children laughing at the novelty, when
we heard "a muffled roaring from above.
1t was like the stampede of a thousand
horses over the prairie at night but no
man had yet fathomed the sound when our
eyes caught sight of wall of mud colorod
water IL feet high bearing down the chan
mel. There had been a cloudburst away
up III bllb MOUNTAINS. LUIS VI luOuHhIuS
of barrels of water had been emptied on
the rocks and slopes at dash, and the
wall was moving down with the speed of
horse and power no man could calculate
Shout, scream, shrek from man, woman
and child and neighs and snorts of alarm
from the horses. 1t wasn't Is seconds aft
er we saw the roaring, tumbling, frothing
wave before it enRulfed the first wagon;
not over 80 before it passed us and picked
up the last. The yellow foam almost
touched our feet as wo stood on the bank.
The channel was filed from bank to bank.
1t flooded over tho west bank and out on
the plain for half IA mile.
Twenty minutes later there was scarce
feet of water in the channel; in half
an hour not above IL inches. Down the
stream and miles away were wrecked
wagons the bodies of drowned horses, 2S
corpses left stranded here and there for us
TO discover and give burial. Not living
thing in that party escaped death. One
moment they were singing and laughing,
full of hope and good nature; the next they
were being whirled into eternity. And we
stood there and saw 1t all and could only
gasp:
