The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1896-11-11

A DEMOCRAT in McKinley's cabinet
is strongly favored by republicans. The
contribution of sound-money. democrats
to the great victory, it is said, would
thus be appropriately recognized.
Nevertheless, there are those who re-
member that democrats in republican
cabinets have not. been a conspicuous
success, either in the way of statesman
ship or in cultivating amity between
political parties. The present occa-
sion, however, is suspicious, and the
policy of choosing sterling democrat
of high ability has many reasons to COM
mend it.

This fact is fully established Therefore, it
is useless TO try to cure catarrh by outward
applications or inhalants The true way to
cure cataIrh is to purify the blood. Hoods
Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier, cures
catarrh by its power to drive out impu titles

"Of course they can" replied the edi-

many tramps doing nothing, when they
could have such an easy job, II, in
blocks of five,' they should associate
themselves and organize bank. All
they need is $4,000 or 100000 capital.
Certainly every American citizen has
the chance to run a bank. 1t is good
business. For instance: The Chemical

value of stock, $100; market value,
forty-three hundred-forty-thr times
as much as it's par No note circula-

profit is from the credit based on about
one-quarter this sum. In addition to
the seven million profit represented by
the surplus, it's dividends have been
one hundred and fifty per cent per an
mum and in addition to that one hum

doing business on the basis Of our
debts. To have money We must keep
in debt, and pay interest on the debt
forever, that We may have the evidence
of a debt with which to exchange
wealth. 1t is interest on dollar, and
another interest on something not
earned which is based on that dollar
and called national bank credit. Why,
a dollar printed on every fifty cents
worth Of silver, seems to me, is better
dollar than a promise to pay dollar
which has only twenty cents guaranty
in its possession that we shall inaily
promise, if We get anything. More
promises to pay than there is money to
redeem the promises! Dear me! The
president of our national bank has do

men to fear God; but fear that the
money changers have so burdened them
with supporting themselves and the
banking system, that they do not come

rlous rags and crusts. This money
power, this insatiate, remorseless, alb
normal development Of a barbarous
civilization, has polluted every foun-
tain and stream designed to bless the
world.
Senator Tillman seems to believe that
the money power can be dislodged. and
that the vices, crimes and iniuuities
which 1t has spawned can be remedied
by change in our monetary system.
In this l do not agree with him. His
remedy is, in my opinion, totally in
adequate. 1t is vastly larger question,
and involves infinitely more than a
change in our system of finance, radi-
cal and sweeping as they may be. 1t is
question Of industrial revolution and
social regeneration. The whole capt.
talistic system, which has its founda-
ton in wage-slavery, must be DESTROYED

The basic political reform is, in nv

when men Of honor will no longer hold
their principles in allegiance and stultify
their convictions for the sake Of belong

whether these men hold convictions

would soon come, when their parties
would abandon a time-serving policy
and take their stand on the higher plane
OF honest conviction. We are happy to

The Vanderbilt Castle.

The work on George w. Vanderbilt's
estate near AsheVille, N, c., on which
he has erected mansion that breaks
all records for residence in this coun-
try, is reported to be nearly finished
1t will be known as Biltmore castle
The estate consists of thirty thousand
acres Of land; which might be made
into thirty-four pieces OF land as large
as Central Park, New York. Each
member of Mr.. Vanderbilts family
might, therefore, have all to himself a
private playground several times as
large as all the breathing spots set
aside for a million and a half Of New
Workers.
The mansion stands on spot once
occupied by mountain peak. Mr..
Vanderbilt had the peak cut off and
carted away. In order to expedite
the construction Of his castle a plant
was put up that turned out 10000
bricks and 1000 flowerpots a day, the
latter to be used in a seventy-fve-acre
plot set aside for greenhouses and flow
er garden.
A railroad was built between Bilt-
more station and the castle for the
transfer of materials, and this line will
be torn up when the work is done.
There is a deer park Of 5000 acres,
and extensive trout ponds.
The entire enterprise, it is estimat-
ed, will cost Vanderbilt about $780,
000.-Chicago Express.

Every man who labors is entitled to
enjoy the fruits thereof, and if he does
not, there is something wrong in our
economic system. A man who labors,
earns an abundance of good things, and,
If he does not enjoy them, some other
person does. Under proper conditions
every laboring man should have:
Corn in the corn crib,
Chickens in the yard,
Meat in the smoke house,
And a tub full of lard.
Milk in the dairy,
Butter by the load,
Coffee in the box
And sugar in the gourt
Cream in the pitcher,

WILFUL WILLIAMS.
An EdgefieldDelegate who Wants

Columbia, S. c., Jan. 21.--L. ].

around with a lantern, not looking

honest man, but for something to
investigate and refer, and so the

which will be of interest to Assis-

John Duncan and others who are
sitting as legislators while filling
State Offices, a condition of affairs
which the member from Edgeield
does not seem to understand. It
begins to look as if this investiga-
ting fever is infectious and there
is no telling how far it may go. OF
course those whose skirts are clear
will be glad to be investigated and
Will court the attention of Mr.. Will

that there are none whose skirts
are not clear for they will be haunt

be filled up, and they will dream
at nights that Mr.. Williams and

Emerson on Conservatism.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his
essay on conservatism never
dreamed of the reformers and con-
servatives of South Carolina, but
he knew all about the principle and
policy of both, and here is what he
said:

the state-the party of conserva-
tism and that of iunovation-are
very old and disputed the posses

tie of nirician and plebeian, of
parent State and colony, of old
usage and accommodation to lew
facts, of the rich and the poor, re-
appears in all countries and times.
The war RACES not only in battle
fields, in national councile and
ecclesiastical svnods, but -agitates
every n,s-bosom with opposing
advantages every hour. On rolls
the old world meantime, and now
one, now the other, gets the day,
and still the fight renews itself as
if for the first time under new
names and with hot personalities. :"
"There is always certain mean
ness in the argument Of conserva-
tism, joined with a certain supe-
riority in it's fact. 1t afirms be-
cause it holds. It's fingers clutch
the fact, and it will not open its
eyes to see better face. The cas-
tie which conservatism is get to de-
fend is the actual state of things,
good and bad. The project of ilno-
walton is the best possible state of
things. Of course conservatism
always has the worst of the argu-
ment, is always apologizing, plead

must saddle itself with the noun

The design shows a Grecian
Doric shaft, threessfeet, six inces in
diameter, resting upon a pedestal,
The column is capped and crowned
by pile of cannon balls; The
whole structure is supported by a
platform Of granite steps. On the
face of the pedestal is placed
bald eagle with outstretched wings
clutching the shield of ~the State
in ITS talons, on which is inscribed
the legend, "Warrior and States
man." The name of M. W. Gary
is shown is raised letters en- the
surbase of the pedestal. The eie,
