PERSONAL.

Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota,
one of the free silver delegates who bolt
ed at the st. Louis convention, is a ma
tive of Ludlow, where his parents now
reside.
President Buckham of the State uni
versity, Burlington, sailed from Mon
treal for Europe Saturday and will pass
the vacation in Scotland, England and
France.
Ex-Gov. Fuller has returned to his
home in Brattleboro from his trip in the
South. His condition has improved very
much of late and he is able to be about
his house.
The Oakland (Cal.) Inquirer says
"A great many people in California will
be pleased to know that the great pub
fishing house of Mcmillan Il Co. is about
to bring out book, The Introduction
to Public Finance by Prof. Carl c..
Plehn of Berkeley, the. able assistant to
Prof. Moses in the department of econo-
mics and political science" Prof. Plehn
went from Middlebury three years ago
and became member of the faculty of
the university of California at Berkeley.
Mr.. w. w. Gay, who was prevented
from coming to Middlebury last week to
deliver his poem before the associated
alumni of the college by his duties as a
war correspondent of the New York
World in Cuba, has been expelled from
the island by the Spanish officials. He
was informed last Thursday night, while
attending banquet in Havana, that he
must leave the country for the United
States by The first steamer His sole
offence appears to have been telling the
truth about Spanish doings in the island.
The Pawtucket Or. ID Post of recent
date gives an extended account of the
celebration of Mr.. A. II. Stratton's fifth
anniversary as secretary of the Young
Mems Christian association of that citv
and says edltorially: The anniversary
reception was very pleasing and fitting
tribute of esteem to faithful and hard
working official. Since MIR. Stratton
came TO Pawtucket the local association
has made very marked progress, both
in numbers and in the scope of its work,
and it is generally admitted that very
large measure of this success is due to
the untiring and energetic labors of
the general secretary. Mr.. Stratton is
to be congratulated, and the association
is to be congratulated in possessing his
valuable services" A gold watch and
chain were given to Mr.. Stratton and
Mrs. Stratton was also suitably remem-
bered.

seat in the house, etc., Mr.. Harvey
from the same committee reported the
following bill entitled: "(H. 2Os.) An
act to provide for filling certain vacan-
ces in the general assembly,"
1t is hereby enacted by the general
assembly of the State of Vermont:
Section l. When, after town has
chosen person to represent it in the gen

reason of death, resignation, Disqualified
tiOn, or removal from the State or other
wise upon petition of twenty or more free
men of the town, or In towns of less mum.
ber, upon petition of one half the number

town clerk, or in his absence a select
man shall issue warning giving six
days notice of meeting to fill such
vacancy; and on the day appointed an

the person chosen a certificate thereof as
his credentia.
Section =. This act shall take effect
from its passage; which was read the
first and second times, and under the

1t is very evident from above facts
that there was concerted plan of action
between the committee and my lawyers.
remember in preparing this bill it was
found that nearly every state, think
all but two, had a similar laws If such
a law had existed in Vermont, this blow
under the belt by railroad combination
not have occurred.
Very truly yours,

Free coinage Means PrOgperity.

Ny answer to Mr.. Whitney's state
meut, that the election Of free coinage
President and Congress would plunge
the country into ruin. is as follows:
"On the election OF a President and
Congress in November committed to free
coinage, the danger of panic will pass
in day. We will pass the danger line
the moment that the fact is known.
The next day silver will begin to advance
and gold decline. Declining gold will
come out Of it's hiding place in a few
days after election in hurry to seek
investment and will go actively into
circulation. 1t will seek to invest in the
things that are rising, for it will fall in
value. This is law inexorable as any
OF the laws Of trade. The wheat in
existence is sure to fall in value when
it is known that q large new crop is
coming; the effect is coming; the effect
is felt before the crop is harvested. So
it will be with gold when it is known
that new crop Of money is coming.
Mr.. Whitney's statement of predicted
ruin is the threat of Wall street and is
intended to frlghten business men and
intimidate the people. If it is true that
the money power can do what is
threatened, it is sufficient reason for
its overthrow, for treating 1t as the enemy
Of the republic. VIII. HARVEY"

the poor simple soul has failed to COM

events, or to understand that his King
has already come. When Mexico
adopted the silver standard, and peace
settled over this fair land, the God of
Prosperity, typifying Montezuma, ar
rived, and he Is now blessing this land
of the Montezumss with a benign
reign. May his reign not cease again.

HACIENDA DE BENEFIoIO DE LA
NINA TINAJA,

August /, 1895.
DEAR SIsTER-You have asked me
to tell you In what way Stree silver" is
benefting Mexico. AT the same time
you ask me to omit dwelling on the
tariff question. While Mexico has at
present q great prosperity, and this
prosperity Is largely due to the exclu-
slVe use Of silver as money, the Coun-
try also has 'tariff for revenue"
which Ia 80 high that 1t acts as "pro-
lection" to all the home industries. In
considering the CsuNes Of the prosper
lty Of all classes Of business in Mexico,
the "taFiff" and the "silver standard"
cannot be separated. It Is q fact that
Mexico is having q wonderful boom In
material prosperity. Manufacturing,
In many different lines, has been COM
msnCed In Mexico within a compare.
lively recent period, and the factories
are all prosperous and paying dlvl-
dendS upon the capital invested In per-
CentsgeS unheard of in the United
States. New factories and industries
are starting up very frequently. In
my opinion, the monetary system Of
the country-the "silver Standard
is very largely responsible for this con.
ditlOn Of prosperity.
1t will be necessary, first, to consider
some Of the peculiar conditions exist
ing In Mexico, In order to brush away
some Of the fog with which American
writer's especially the advocates of the
gold StAndard") persist in obscuring
the actual situation.
Mexico was, for more than two hun
dred years, crushed under the awful
incubus Of government by Spanish
viceroyS. The viCerOys remained here
but Q short time, and they plundered
the revenues so outrageously that there
was need for them to remain here but
9 few years, when they could return to
Spain, milliOnaires. Since the separa-
ton, until within comparatively few
years, the country has been almost
continually torn with revolutions, or
has been resisting foreign aggression.
During the period of vice regal rule 1t
was the policy to place such restriction
upon home industries 90 to make them
impossible. All necessarieS must be
imported from Spain for Spain's profit,
and the only natural resource exploited
was the mineral wealth, the enormous
output Of which also went to Spain to
swell the profit. During the period Of
che revolutions was an unpFOpitious
