Hon. Addison r. Herrick OF Bethel
thought It about time that some repre-
sentative from that town disclsim any
trick being fastened upon Bethel and
said that they were not responsible for
delays and accidents upon the Grand
Trunk Railway. Mr.. Herrick said he
was proud OF what the county had done
in the mstter OF new buildings. He be-
lieyed the feeling that existed against
the movement had largely disappeared,
and that feeling of pride had taken its
place with most OF the people OF the
county, that they now have buildings
suitable aud convenient for the trans
action of the county business.

Judge Davis said he was glad when he
got rid OF one of those legal giants up in
Bethel, and he thought that We had a

would be glad 10 get rid Of in the same
way, for they ought TO have been upon

OBLIGED TO SELL OUT.
Difficulties Experienced by Men Not
SchOoIed In n Ruafness.

The following from the 'Unionist Gag
cite" of Somerville, N. J., shows what
became of a local telephone company
that had practically no opposition in that
city,
While it is unfortunate that those gen
tlemen who were enterprising enough to
invest their money in a local telephone
service should not be able to real
ize a paying profit, yet the result shows
how difficult It is for a with
limited resources n without a thorough
knowledge of the business to make such
a project succeed. With a purely local
telephone service 1t would never nave
been possible 70 get the clientage or the
prices necessary to meet the expnditufes.
Itsis when the trunk line system is added
rnat the service becomes very much more
~valuable, especially in a suburban place
Hike Somerville. This is shown by the
large amount of business done by the
public telephone offices now located here
by the long distance company. The New
tended their wires 70 Somerville because
there was a demand for such M
cation with the outside world. No fault
could be found with the local company,
but they were undoubtedly imposed upon
in purchasing their Instruments, and
with such inferior phones they could
never give good service. The long dis
lance company are equipped with the
liiiest INSTRUMENTS known IN telephone
service, and they will not attempt to
use any of the local phones. The re-
suit will be a splendid local service and
the connection of all patrons with nearly
every city and town of the country. This
will be a splendid thing for Somerville.
As the card published in another column
indicates, the local company settled with
the New York apd New Jersey on ami
cable terms. and the new company is
now in possession of the old plant. They
ave been advertising their prices and
promise to continue to take contracts
on the same terms. They should nave
the support of those citizens needing
telephone service.

the risk Of lending or investing 1t with d
aebased aud dspreciating coinage.
A similar paralysis would strike all other
industries. They would cease because
capital could mot be procured to carry
them ON. Where capital was already
embarked, operations would be. carried on
only on the basis Of present consumption.
Nobody would manufacture an article a
month a head of the demand for it, for
nobody could foresee how money would
compare in value in a month when the
article was to be sold with its value at
the time when the article was manufac-
tured.
Mr.. Boies always dwells on the woes Of
the farmer. which he attributes to some
change in the intrinsic value Of gold. The
condition of the farmer is due to several
causes, prime among which has been In
sane anticipation of the future. Like
the railroads of the country. the opening
Of wheat lands has gone ahead without
reference to the prospects Of consumption
of their product. These lands, too. have
been opened on the most expensive terms
under the ~blghting Influence of high
tariff, and the same baleful cause has
robbed them of their outlet by giving
the markets of Europe over to Argentina
and Egypt, Russia and South Africa. This
is the reason why the farmers find it hard
to pay their debt to the East in honest
money. But we would ask Mr.. Boies.
how are the farmers to profit by the an
Initiating of one half of the wealth OF
the country by Act of Congress? How
are they to profit by the destruction of all
credit? Indeed. how are they to profit in
any way by the debasement of money?
Today, if they owe gold to the East and to
Europe. Europe and the East pay them
gold for their wheat, their corn, their
hogs, their sheep, their cattle. If silver
becomes the rule, they will be paid in sill
yer, and even if they get rid of half their
debts, the restriction of demand for their
produce, will leave the moiety that re-
mains as onerous a burden as ever.
In a word. the adoption of a silver
standard-there is no such thing as BIZ
metalism; it is sheer nonsense-will
speedily reduce this country, city and farm
alike to the stagnant condition of Next
co or China, a land without progress, and
without wealth, a country whose natural
riches are turned to dross by the lack Of
means to utilize them.

NEW SOUND FLYER

proved very popular with the patrons
