Sugar Bountles Stand.

1t will be remembered that the comp
troller of the treasury held in 1894 that
the repeal of the Mckinley act required
the suspension of all operations under the
sugar bounty clause; this deprived sugar
men of the bounty earned in the spring Of
1894, before the Gorman-Wilson act be-
came effective. For that spring about $500
Vermonters took out licenses for the bounty
which would have amounted to about
$4,000. Monday the United States SUI
preme court over-ruled the decision of the
comptroller, and these bounties will be
paid.

news came from the Eureka lock that Elmer
Pierce, Of this city, had been drowned while
fishing there. He went there with his brother
Elton and Otto Ludwig and had not been
there long when the accident happened. He
was sitting on the middle pier close to the
dam, when without warning he fell into the
foaming water. He made some attempts to
swim and was carried some distance from
where he fell before disappearing. Word was
Immediately brought to his father here and

Monday the work went on. A party consist

the recovery of the body from snag where
it had lodged about ten rods below the dam

An amusing diversion for hot weather is
to note the servility Of a majority of Yer
mont newspapers. The Free Press enjoys
a questionable pre-eminence; its office is
to give the wink, as it were sing the sole
parts, and the other papers must join the
chorus. The contemporary has only to
make suggestion regarding state political
matters and the satellites cry me too,
refer to the contemporaries recent nomina-
tion of Nelson w. Fisk for lieutenant gov.
ernor on the Grout ticket; the echo has
been caught up in various parts of the state
and inside ten days every Grout paper viii
have added its amen.

Debs Is for Riot, Not silver.

Several miners have been arrested at
Leadville, contrary to the spirit of the
Chicago platform, on the cheap and
himsy charge of riot, incendiarism and
murder, in blowing up the buildings of
the Coronado mine and shooting it's
guardians. And this outrage on them
has been committed in the face of a
new and bristling manifesto from Eu-
gene V Debs.
No wonder that in view of this out
rage on the part of capital on the sacred
right of riot Debs announces to a
breathless world that he docs not care
rap for free silver; he does care for
free riot, and the abolition of courts
and laws that interfere with it. The
wretched silver mine owners who
looked to Debs for encouragement now
find themselves abandoned in q crisis.
AS regards the striking miners, their
threat to burn up the waterworks of
Leadville unless their arrested brethren
are set free is both logical and consist
ent. So long as Leadville is for Bryan
1t ought at least to live up to its prin-
ciples and secure the freedom of its
rioters.-N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.

He who campers with the currency
obs labor of its bread. He panders in
deed to greedy capital, which is keen
sighted and may shift for itself, but he
beggars labor, which is honest, unsus-
pecting and too busy with the present
to calculate for the future. The pros
perity of the working classes lives,
moves and has its being in established
credit and a steady medium of payment.
All sudden changes destroy it. Honest
industry never comes in for any part of
the spoils in that scramble which takes
place when the currency of country
is disordered Did wild schemes and
projects ever benefit the industrious?
Did violent fluctuations ever do good to
him who depends on his daily labor for
his daily bread? Certainly never. All
these things may crafty greediness for
sudden gain or the rashness of daring
speculation, but they can bring nothing
but injury and distress to the homes of
patient industry and honest labor

THE RISE IN WHEAT.
1t Shows the Law of Supply and Demand
Is Still in Operation.

1t Shows the Law of Supply and Demand
Is Still in Operation.
While the Boy Orator and his aiders
and aBettors are telling the farmers
that the 'crime of 1878" has demolished
the price of wheat and that the price
will go lower and lower until that
crime is repented of, the price of wheat
is rapidly rising. The reasons for the
rise are plain. There is a shortage in
The worlds supply of wheat. This
shortage first became conspicuous
about the first of September, when the
report of the Hungarian minister of
agriculture was made. His reports are
always influential in the wheat trade.
He estimates the shortage at 137. 600, 900
bushels-50, 000,o00in the United States.
Since that report was made its conclu-
sions have been substantiated by other
re-Norts, including that of our own gov
eminent, made September 10. There
has been an unusually large exporta-
ton of wheat and -four from this coun-
try during the last month, the markets
have been active and the price of wheat
has risen so that the value of the wheat
in this country has increased about
$5O,000,00O.
This is cheering and it shows that
the great law Of supply and demand
is still in operation. The silver howlers
talk and act as if they would repeal
that law if the people would only give
them a chance. It's workings just now
are certainly troublesome to them

"voIE AeIN, pE BOSS"
This Is the Substance of Bryan's Appeal
to Workingmen.


Some of Bryan's appeals to the work
ingmen are taken up and commented
upon by a contributor TO Harper's
Weekly, as follows:
Listen now 10 these appeals to work
ingmen TO rise against employers. 1t
is TIC old cry of Vote ag'in the boss
The man who employs you is your IN
dustrial enemy, at least; don't forget
that. Vote against his interests and
thereby advance your own. Make him
''give up" You'll get lots of work by
voting for a policy that viii prevent
your employer from making profit
on his goods. Listen to Mr. Bryan.
At Albany he said:
"As a rule the men who have spent
their time trying to break up labor
unions. the only protection the labor
ing man has had, these are the men who
now come To the laboring men. l ask
you if you are to expect a blessing
from those from whom you have only
received curses in the past?"
At Kingston:
''You have been kind enough to pre-
sent to us bouqeet bearing the in
scription: From Workingmen.' am
glad to speak to workingmen; and
when I speak to them l do not speak to
their employers and ask them TO de-
liver the workingmen's votes. | have
known cities where employers used OBJ
ject lessons, where employers have used
Mexican dollars to enforce object les
sons. Whenever an employer tells you
how to vote, tell him the declaration of
independence says you are his equal
before the law and your vote cannot
be bartered away"
AT Syracuse:
But if q man in this country as
sumes to think and speak for somebody
else, or he seeks to use his power as
an employer to coerce the men who
work for him, we stand and oppose him
as we would oppose the man who would
| attempt to establish a monarchy in a
! democracy. We oppose him and offer
no apology for that opposition"
/ At Hornellsyille:
These men, who have now become
/ the great apostles, preaching in the in
/ terest of the laboring men, my friends,
! these men who stand at the head of the
! gold crusade, are the men who have
| prevented the arbitration of difficulties
| between laborers and their employers.
! These are the men who, by the forma-
/ ton of great trusts, have stifled COM
petitors out of business and then preyed
upon society. with no one to restrain
them or make them afraid"
What comment is needed after one
reads such bits of demagogery? Walk
ing Delegate Bryan can give Debs
points. Watch the boss. workingmen!
Remember there are no honest and fair
minded employers in this country
