The protective tariff does not seem
to be so bad thing after all. Dem
ocratic statesmen insisted, during
the recent discussion in Congress,
that it would reduce our foreign mar
kets, yet we have gone on increasing
our exports SO that we are selling to
the outside world a million dollars
worth of manufactures every day in
the year, or twice as much as two
years ago. To quote Secretary Hay,
who, from his position overlooking
our commerce with the world, is es.
pecially able to speak with accuracy
"We have gone far toward solving
the problem which has long vexed
the economists of the world-of rails
log wages and the same time lower
ing the cost of production-some-
thing which no other people have
ever accomplished in an equal degree.
We pay the highest wages which
are paid in the world. We sell our
goods to such an advantage that we
are beginning to furnish them to
every quarter of the globe. We are
building locomotives for railways in
Europe, Asia and Africa; our bridges
can be built in America, terried across
the Atlantic, transported up the Nile,
and flung across a river in the Sou
dan in less time than any European
nation with a start of 1000 miles
can do the work. We sell ironware
in Birmingham; carpets in Kidder-
minister; we pipe the sewers OF Scot
tish cities; our bicycles distance all
competitors on the continent, and
Ohio sends watch cases to Geneva"

Certain Vermont newspapers that
are exceedingly busy hunting upcan-
didates for the office Of Governor of
this commonwealth, are also trying
to pound the dust out of Vim. W.
Stickney's alleged mortgage on the
Governorship." The only signif-
icant fact in this connection is that
the mortgage" is a bugaboo con-
jured up by the aforesaid newspapers.
Nobody else cares straw about
that mortgage" The men who
expect to vote for Mr.. Stickney at
the next state election are not argu-
ing that he has any mortgage"
They simply believe that the fitness
of the man is a good and sufficient
reason for electing him Governor.
They believe that it has been clearly
demonstrated that the people of
Vermont want him for Governor,
and that he would have been Gov.
Smiths predecessor if undue pressure
and enticement had not been brought
to bear upon certain wishy-washy
delegates to the Republican state
convention in 1896. The present
talk about a mortgage" amounts
to nothing except that the minority
fellows have stuck up straw
man, labeled it "Stickney's mort
gage" and are having one kind of
fun plugging the image full of holes.

Opportunity for Vermont Farmers.


Under the operations Of the west
ern meat trusts, beef has advanced
to higher prices than have been
charged since 1882. Would it not
be wise thing for our farmers to
raise more cattle for the home mar
ket, thus going back to the custom
of furnishing the local supplies of
meat? In order to gain control of
markets the trusts at first reduced
prices to a point at which farmers
couldn't sell at a profit, and when they
had broken down competition they
raised their figures gradually until
the present high prices were reached.

Vermont is presenting a spectacle
that fifty years ago would have been
regarded almost impossible of occur
ance. The State finds herself more
than year before the election, filled
with the noise of a rringcampaign
which more resembles the day before
election than any other time. The
people used to congratulate them
selves when one election was over
that they would have rest until the
next occurred, but now political ex-
element seems to have become per-
petual. If it results in a thorough
sitting out of the candidates and
wise selections in the end, the people
will be repaid for the annoyance.
Let us hope that this may be so, and
that there will not be so much bitter
ness in the campaign as to offset
good results.-Essex County Herald.

I IIoLn % soLle loflh ol rectal disease. The
most common and annoying is itchjno
piles, indicated by warmth, slight mois7
ture, and intense, uncomfortable itching
in the parts affected
The usual treatment has been some Sim
pie ointment or salve which sometimes
gives temporary relief, but nothing like
permanent cure can be expected from
such superficial treatment
The only permanent cure for itching piles
yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile Cure
not only for itching piles, but for every
otbgr form of piles, blind, bleeding. or
protruding. The first application gives in
stant relief, and the continued use for a
short time causes a permanent removal
of the tumors or the small parasites which
cause the intense itching and discomfort
of itching piles.
Many physicians for long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief afforded
by the Pyramid Pile Cure was because
II was supposed to contain cocaine opium.
or similar drugs, but such is not the case.
recent careful analysis of the remedy
showed it TO be absolutely free from any
cocaine, opium, or, in fact, any poisonous.
Injurious drugs whatever.
Fer this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure
is probably the only pile cure extensively
recommended by physicians, because it is SO
safe, so prompt in the relief afforded, and
so far as known the only positive cure for
piles except a surgical operation.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure has
become the best known, the safest, and
the most extensively sold of any pile cure
before the public.
