Senator Proctor Explains.

Senator Proctors explanation OF the rea-
cons which led him to request that the
Vermont troops be sent to Porto Rico viii
he read with interest. We take It for
granted that II the Vermont regiment had
been selected by the war department for
any duty, at home or abroad, for which
they were considered especially ht no one
in Vermont would have opposed or qucs-
toned the order II the regiment Is to he
sent to Porto Rico, not because it is par
ticular!y needed there, but because a sem
ator has asked that 1t be sent. perhaps It
makes n little different case. or course a
change OF camp could be made without
sending the regiment out of the country.
However, as it is announced that Secrc-
tary Aleer will stand by his promise to
the senator to despatch the Vermont reg
iment to Porto Rico, the matter may be
considered as settled, and 1t Is of no use
to discuss it. We trust that our boys Will
find the change and the service to which
they are sent, as agreeable as they en-
poet it to be; and that 1t will not greatly
proong their term of service. Under the
existing circumstances they can hardly
expect 10 do or see any fighting.

Good Times After the War.

The prosperity which this country had
every reason to expect this year has been
postponed by our war with Spain, but
present indications arc that business in
this country will receive marked Impulse
with the assurance Of peace. That tho
outlook for business is decidedly encour-
aging is evident from prevailing condi-
lions MS we'll as from commercial reports
and from statements made in the large
commercial centres. The great mass of
people are looking for period of unusual
prosperity following the war, and mas
much as public confidence will tend to
bring prosperity this expectation is to be
given it's due weight. The trade record
published In our columns yesterday, show
ing the largest exports from this country
on record, means that an unusually large
sum OF money Is to he distributed through
out this country. A generous supply of
money and confidence In the business and
financial outlook can have but one mean
ing, and that is activity, investment all
along the line and prosperity.
An excellent foundation for a revival of
trade and industries is afforded by the
favorable conditions which prevail in agr-
culture. II has been estimated that far
mers' receipts for last years produce were
at least 81, 900, on, 600 over the values of the
previous year, while farm mortgages, ag-
gregating more than 800, 900 900, have been
disposed Of. Crop reports show that har-
vests of the present year bid fair to sur
pass those of any previous year, and in
asmuch as agriculture is the foundation
of our general prosperity, the outlook can
not be regarded as other than encourage
ing for all interests The American Agri-
culturalst says
I'VE look for an industrial activity early
this fall quite unparalleled, with quick
markets at home and abroad for supplies
of American farms. We find no reason to
anticipate higher or fancy prices for pro-
duce, but with economy in production and
marketing brought about by recent i'm
provemcnts, and having regard also to
the cheapness of manufactures (also due
to invcntions) and the ease of money our
deliberate conviction is that the average
American farmer Is to have the largest
prosperity ever enjoyed. The forecast Is
measured by the standard of tho present,
by the eXchangeable power of farm pro-
ducts of labor in other vocations."
The New York Commercial has been
conducting a canvass of the large COM
mercal centres which show quite gem
Aral belief that a great business revival
is at hand. 1t has also supplemented this
work with statements by leading BUSH
ness men in the metropolis and with opln-
ions secured from leading editors in diff
fercnt parts OF the country. The great
majority of those interviewed and repre-
scented in the CONSENSUS are hopeful OF
the commercial outlook, and they believe
that when peace is once assured mark
cd revival of trade and industry will be-
gin to make itself felt, This summary rep
rescnts a great variety OF interests, and
there Is every reason for believing that
the country is upon the threshold OF a
period of generous prosperity

When Gen. Miles came to consider tho

Ponce on the south coast Of the island

years. 1t has been kept in condition by

Miles now finds a first class road along

Not a Party Issue.

In view OF the attempt Of the democratic
party OF Vermont to make the question
of national expansion IA party question the
people of this State will be particularly
interested in the Washington letter quot
ed in another column, showing that some
of the most pronounced jngoists are dem
ocratic leaders, As a matter of fact the
democratic party throughout the country
as represented by its newspapers is more
pronounced in It's advocacy of the reten-
ton OF the Philippines, for example, than
the republican party, the republicans as
a rule having advocated the holding OF a
naval station simply
The Louisville Courier-Journal, which
is Col. Henry Watterson's paper, sums
up its position in the following emphatic
and unequivocal manner:
Put ii on any ground, and the surran-
der OF the Philippines would be a disrc-
gard for the best interests OF every one
concerned, even old crippled and wanton
Spain herself"
The Atlanta Constitution, which shares
with the Courier-Journal. the leadership
of democratic Journalism in the South,
speaks OF our acquisition OF the Philip
pines as follows:

pied the Philippines as result OF a war

ALLEGED REPUBLICAN "ENTRAV
AGANCE"
CFrom the Northfeld News)

The biennial howl from the democratic
State convention about the extravaganza
of the republican State administration
has gone forth. In fact without this COM
plant the democratic convention cou'd
hardly be called a convention, BECAUSE II
would be so different from any thing the
people of Vermont have known VI recent
years. The howl has become so regular
and so monotonous that the voters DO not
treat 1t seriously.
That the expenses have grown enor-
mously during the past decade IL an I'M
deniable fact. II is also an equally indls-
putabe fact that while Vermont mas not
increased in population during mat time
IT has made progress on modern lines to
an extent which has for the most part
warranted this additional expenditure
The people have demanded progressive
measures. generally speaking, and have
made no objection to paying the neces-
sary price for such advancement. While
this progress has come necessarily under
republican Observation-Disclosures we
countenance no other kind In Nermont-lt
has been sanctioned by people of all poiti-
cal opinions and the only time
when objection is made IS
when it becomes necessary to nave

is once in two years when the democrats
assemble in convention,
y superior system OF common scnoo'S,
substantial recognition of the colleges OF
the State a recognition OF the needs OF de-
pendent veterans, more substantial aid to
agricultural interests, better attention to
sanitary conditions and the health of the
people recognizing the demands or
the people for railroad cattle, highway
and other commissions, public Libraries
and many other improvements have added
largely to the expenses of the State. 1t is
probable that II would be extremely diff
ticult to gain the consent OF the taxpay-
crs to do away with hardly a single
one OF these advancements. The State
system OF caring for the pauper insane
and the system OF court expenses of
course add enormously to the State ex-
penses and there Is undoubtedly an hon
est difference os opinion as to how these
should be carried along.

VERMONT TROOPS TO PORTO RICO
senator Proctor Explains why He Re-
qucsted the Move Of Secretary Alger.
PROCTOR, VI, Aug. ], 1873.
tor of the Free Press:


To the Editor of the Free Press:
I notice in your paper of this morning
copy of telegram from Gov. Woodbury.
to Secretary Alger protesting against
sending the Vermont regiment to Porto
Rico ''unless their services are actually
needed there"
While in Washington last week ! was
informed that the government was con-
tcmplating sending another army corps of
about 10 regiments to Porto Rico, and that
some regiments from Chickamauga were
to he sent. The question then was
whether II was best for our regiment TO
GO with tho expedition or stay in camp a
Chickamauga. 1t seemed to me that they
had stad in that camp altogether too long
for their good and that II possible they
better be a part of that expedition ana
my reasons for urging this were:
First-l felt sure from letters received
from Col Clark and others OF the regi-
ment that II other regiments In their
command were sent on new expedition
they would feel 1t kcenly to see their COM
rades selected and they left behind In a
letter of July %, COL Clark wrote me-
1.-THE command Is getting tired of waiting
and will be very glad when ordered some
where"
Second--Many people in the State, some
having like Gov. Woodbury., sons In the
regiment have expressed to me the same
Z
Of tho State and the regiment would be
the same on this point.
Third-l believed that the health of the
regiment would be greatly benefited by a
change. 1t has been "A long time In camp
at Chickamauga and, with the American
temperament, nothing Is 80 disheartening
or conducive to sickness as a long stay
In one camp without active service We
saw II during our civil war in terrible
mortality in the Attn. 9Th and 9Th Vermont
regiments and ID Vermont brigade while
they remained for months in one camp
during the first of their service, When
active service In the field began sickness
, rapidly disappeared.
1t had not occurred to me that Presi-
dent Mckinley and Secretary Alger would
send an excursion to Porto Rico after
the war was over" or anywhere else, un-
less in their judgment their services were
actually needed" Gov Woodbury's pa
triotism and experience In military mat
tcrs have been too well tested to be ques-
toned, and had he been In my place with
all the facts before him his conclusions, |
trust, might not have differed materially
from mine, Very respectfully yours,

large loans from New York and Massa-
chusetts at 3 and per cent, and the ques-
tion arises whether readjustment OF
rates would not In the long run be better
for Vermont's financial institutions as
well as for our varied and handicapped in
dustries. The railroads are also interested
in the making of the lowest possible rates,
for the driving of manufacturing institu-
lions In the State to the wall means less
business for them, as regards both freight
and passenger traffic
We OF Vermont must face the fact that
the downward tendency in rates OF inter-
est at the great centres OF wealth and
population, noted by Mr.. Hepburn, will
serve to increase the handicap under
which the borrowing manufacturer in this
State must labor. Vermont has been a
lending state, as many Western and
Southern States as we'll as losing capital
lists here earn testify. The time has come
when we must face the question whether
we should not furnish capital for manu-
featuring investments at living rates in
stead of compelling them to seek loans
at low rates elsewhere, as they will more
and more in the future with the prevail
ence of existing conditions. The natural
laws Of supply and demand, will in the end
regulate all matters of this sort, but It is
possible to facilitate the operation Of those
natural laws by favorable legislation as
TO taxation and interest The subject Is
to be discussed, not in the interest of any
particular class, but as affecting the in
terests of our people as whole, and we
invite the consideration of the matter by
our readers and the contribution TO our
columns of communications on the sub
ject.

nectiCut. .0U53; the lowest in New Hamp-
shire. 0o23 while Normont's per cent was

year would show that Ncrmont's expenses
were the lowest OF any New England

While it is the desire of every Vermont-
,or to see the state expenses kept down
To the lowest possible point, there is no de-
sire to curtail expenditures TO such an oN-
