was stationed at little gate through

passed. Gone, two," began Pompey.

the stable to the fields. 1t then does
twice as much good as when thrown
under the caves, to lie all winter and
be drawn out in the spring. The

Senator Proctor Sends an Enthusiastic
Tribute to Vermont.


To the Editor of the HeraH:-
Senator Thurston happened to
mention to me the other evening
that he had just written in a YER
monter's scrapbook. | asked him
whose it was, and he said M. E.
Wheeler's of Rutland. | then asked
him what he wrote, and he repeated
it from memory, aud said that he
thought it was accurate. | thought
it worth transmission as a tribute
from an enthusiastic son of Vermont,
who has done his native state so
much credit in another field. You
may think it worthy of publication,
and if so, as | am merely the trans
mitter there is no occasion to use my
name, though | have no objection if
you wish to do so.

THE ENCLosURE.-I love my native
state, Vermont.
My ancestors for four generations
conquered a frugal substance from
her rugged hills. Two of them fought
upon her sacred soil for independence,
and one, my father, proved the ar
dor of his inherited patriotism, and
gave up his life for the preservation
of the Union.
One of her daughters crowned my
life with love, and blessed my west
ern home with Jewels of motherhood.
So let me live, so let me die; that
dear Vermont, my mother, may be
glad to write above my dust, This
was my son.

THE DEMOCRATS AND THE FARMERS

THE DEMOCRATS AND THE FARMERS.
For years the Democratic party
has sorrowed over the misery Of the
farmers. Their orators have shed
tears of sympathy as they have told
out the farmers woes to their
audiences. Promise of aid, of benefi-
cent laws if they should come into
power, were made by the Democracy
to the farmers without stint. 1t is
very likely that they really imagined
that they would help the farmers,
and a good many of the latter be-
lieved the promises made to them.
The Democrats did not know their
own utter inability to successfully
cope with great public questions,
least of all with any class of public
wrongs. Everybody knows Except
Grover Cleveland and a few free
trade papers, what ar injury the
Wilson-Gorman monstrosity has
done to the farmers of the United
States. The men who promised so
much to the farmers have treated
the farmers interests with a brutal
and insolent disregard not only to
their own promises and pledges, but
of common decency and patriotism.
Instead of removing burdens, they
piled them on. Instead of aiding
Americans, they have aided foreign
ers, Canadian farmers are getting
more help from the tariff bill than
the farmers of this country.
But worse even than this, when a
law favoring the farmers has been
passed, Democratic officials have re-
fused to carry it out. For instance,
Congress appropriated money to
pay the sugar bounty claims, but a
certain official with the connivance
of his superiors has deliberately re-
fused to obey Congress and pay the
claims. Again, Congress appropri-
ated a sum of money to continue the
experiments in free delivery of mails
in farming districts, buta Democratic
official or a department of the
government now in the hands of the
Democratic officials has refused tC
obey a law of the land designed to
aid farmers. Every one at all con
versant with public opinion in farm.
ing communities know that free de.
livery of mails is desired by the great
mass of farmers, and for the Post
Office Department to refuse to test
the matter has probably led more
farmers to hate and despise the ad
ministration than any other step il
has taken. 1t illustrates the utter
folly and pig medicines of the De
mocracy, their disregard of the die
tates OF reason, honesty, sound bust
ness principles. The post office is fol
the whole people, not for cities, but
the administration has adopted tn,
principle of doing all in their powe,
to aid the cities and doing nothing
to help the country post offices. Fo.
the plan of hitching country office
on to city Offices has not commendet
itself to the farmers so far as w
have observed. Heaping favors upol
those for whom the government ha
already done much, and blocking al
attempt to help those who great.
need it, is a we'll established princi
pie of Democratic craftsmanship.
