When the Democrats asked for two
or three days to debate the tariff con.
ference report in the house, they were
told sob no, talk is expensive, it cost,
the treasury 100000 a day." This is
all very well and, no doubt, in meas
ure true, but we wonder if the Repub-
licans kept this in mind when they
were having their secret talks over the
tariff. In senate committee and con-
ference committee the tariff was de-
layed by the Republicans, for secret
talk, for seven weeks or so. Their
secret talks were, no doubt, necessary
to smooth out family quarrels, but the
cost of secret talks, which have delay
ed the tariff. is certainly as great rs
the cost of public talk, and the Repub-
licans who have treated themselves to
the luxury of 500. 900 talks in which
to smooth out party differences should
not be too critical of opponents seeking
the luxury of few days Of public
talk-The American.

L. T.Vancor OF Saxtons River recently
came into the possession Of colonial eight
dollar paper bill. 1t is about half the size
OF the current one dollar bill and for many
years was in the Hockey Rogers family of
Walpole; it was in one Bible tor more
than 100 years. On one side is "Printed
by Hall & Sellers, 1776," on the other
side is this: "This bill entities the bearer
to receive eight Spanish milled dollars or
the value thereof in gold or silver accord
ing to the resolution Of Congress passed at
Philadelphia, February II, 1776." There
is also picture Of pyramid of 10 blocks
with this inscription, "Majora minoribus
consonant." The bill is certainly unique
curiosity; Mr.. Vancor says he has been Of
fered 500 for it.

Tennesseans and Vermonters we're de-
scendants of the same stalwart people
Tenesseeans were descendants of the
Scotch Irish blood, and Vermonters of the
Puritans, and in the veins of both flowed
Cromwells blood. They fought together
to throw off the British yoke. Their in
her1tance was the same and they were 60
ing shoulder to shoulder developing the
country, and he hoped they might not only
feed the world, but furnish the world with
manufactures. The memory of to-day
would remain long with them.
Mr.. Williams remarks were punctuated
with frequent applause.
North Walpole is still agitating the
