THE WA0E-EARNERS MUST SUFFER.
Enforced Reduction Of a Railroads Income is q
Hard shin to Its EMPLOYEES.

There are hopeful Indications that
more intelligent and broad-minded I'M
Outstanding of the relationship that ex-
lists between the railroads of the country
and the general public is about to give
place to the more narrow and soclalstlc
views that have prevailed in the past.
There is still, however, certain large
and to some extent influential element III
the community which is keeping up a
persistent fight against the railroads, os-
tensiblv for the purpose of benehting
their patrons by bringing about reduc-
ton in what they claim to be excessive
rates OF passenger fares.
Their agitation has been carried. in
many instances, to the legislatures OF
New England states but, as a rule, they
have met with little encouragement,
since the average legislator, whatever
his other faults may be, has business
sense enough to realize that there are
two sides to this and all similar ques-
tions.
The trouble with the people who are SO
mistakenly agitating this reduction i'll
fares is that they 10 not stop to follow
out the workings of their so-called RE-
form" to its logical conclusion.
In their "strike" against the railroad
corporations, they may possibly regard,
with indifference, the chance that the sue
cess of their proposition will endanger
the dividends Of the stockholders; but
the fact that the thousands of men who
are earning their bread and butter
through their connection with the rail.
roads may also be pecuniarily affected
has, apparently, never occurred to them
And yet, this is precisely what is bound
to occur if railroads are to be compelled
to do business at loss, as so many peo'
pie seem determined they shall be.
4 railroad stands exactly as any othe,
business enterprise, with relation to its
invested capital, and the road that can
not earn fair dividends is not long re
garded as good business proposition
When its margin of profit is materially
reduced from whatever cause, either its
dividends or the wages gifts employee:
have got to be reduced in proportion.
1t is showing scant consideration fol
an industrious and faithful body of men
whose interests are bound up with thos'
of every community i'll the land, wher
such blow at the earning power of thu
railroads is attempted. 1t is anything
but friendly act toward these workers
and it is remarkable that this fact ha!
not been given prominence long before.
That there is a revulsion of feeling
against this persistent intermeddline
with the affairs Of the railroads now ii
progress is very evident, and in no wa,

tunity to complain of anything.
If we have removed all the
landmarks of the fathers, if we
have abandoned every constitu-
tional safeguard to the country,
it is by common consent and by
the most peaceful revolution ever
known. If we are knocking down
bamboo Notifications and shoot
ing barbarians in fleeing masses
instead of Spain doing it, it is be
ing done i'll the interest of civil

dawn of a new system of liberty
and freedom. The people anC
the president are a unit in tn,
wonderful movements of the ma

A Peaceful Revolution.

What a marvellous condition
this country is in! There were
never such national conditions
on earth before. One of the most
populous and powerful nations
on earth is developing into en-
tirely new conditions, and al
most entirely revolutionizing its
whole theory of government and
conceiving vast and new designs
and purposes, and conduct
ing military enterprises over
thousands and thousands miles
of seas, while more than seventy
FIVE millions of people are as ifin
conditions of profound peace.
Conditions of individual and col
lective prosperity never were
more favorable. Money and all
the means for enterprise and
prosperity are plenty and easy
of access. The hardy little peo-
pie, with scanty means, once not
recognized by the nations of the
earth, have grown mighty spread
over the seas and are conquering
as a matter of course, and all the
world applauds. The people are
perfectly Contented with their
rulers, and have quietly yet en-
Enthusiastically grown into their
new conditions. From the deep
est reverence for the fundamen-
tai laws OF the nation they have
passed almost imperceptibly into
a condition of indifference to their
national constitution as by a
curious acquiescence or general
consent. They are asserting to
the substitution of improvised
theories of government and sub.
stituting extemporized theories
for the sacred writings-one
word against which would a
short time since have been trea
son--without a single exhibition
of regret for the fast passing
away of the old and once revereC
constitution, which is now in the
mummied past and of no conse
quence compared with the living
theories, live designs and burning
hopes of the controlling minds O
today. The people are either
absolutely indifferent to current
events or they are perfectly con
tented with their rulers and thu
courses pursued by them.
The president goes out to Bos
ton and elsewhere and talks tt
the people just as a dignifec
president should and tells then
that a great problem is to b.
solved, GoD only knows how
but that it will be done in a wise
manner and in such a way as tc

There has been a Creamery Company
organized here with capital sufficient to
run the creamery, and also loan money
to the farmers to buy what cows they
want. They have bought 5. D. Hobson's
Separating Station and will at once put
up the other necessary building and ma
chinery for butter making, having al
ready put up their ice. The merchants
have all taken stock and will handle only
creamery butter. This ensures more
business for the creamery and less poor
butter; less work for tie farmers wives
more cows on the farm; better farms
and more money in the farmers pockets.

Disease fastened its clutches upon her

covered a way to recovery, by purchas-

ISLAND POND, APRIL IL.
In Honor of Dewey.


Hon. Everett c. Benton OF
Waverley, Mass, being at Mont
pelier shortly after Admiral
Dewey's victory was struck by
the imposing figure of Ethan
Allen at the entrance OF the State
House, and more so by seeing
hanging on the wall a seventy
five cent photographic representa-
ton of the Admiral, conceived the
idea that a statue of Admiral
Dewey placed opposite that OF
Ethan Allen would be a fit COM
oanion piece with the oneof that
great hero. The hero of Manila
has made Vermont immortal.
He has illuminated the last days
of her history with as brilliant a
light as Aliens heroism had lit
her earliest days. One OF YER
mont's sons has become the fore
most man in all the naval world.
Vermont necessarily accompa,
MES him to his proud eminence
and nothing that her children
and his brothers could do in rec.
,ognition of his splendid achieve
ments would be fulsome. With
this natural and justly proud i'm
pulse Mr.. Benton, who we are
proud to say is an Essex county
boy, opened a correspondence
with the natives of Vermont liv
ingin other states soliciting sub
scriptions for the purpose o
carrying out this design. Al
though subscriptions were con
fined to Vermonters living II
other states, yet so sensitive was
every Vermonter to the sollclta
tion that money had to be re
turned which poured in from
Vermonters living in the state
Mr.. Benton and his associate
have of course succeeded in rails
ing any amount desired for thi
pleasant and patriotic enterprise
and by the time the next legisla
ture shall assemble will have
statue of a modern hero place,
1.-THE entrance ofthe State Hous
which will detract nothing tror
the fame of the ancient hero, blu
which will still further represen
the kind of men to which tn
proud mother of Vermonter
gives birth.
