Electric Road Sued.

Papers were served on Monday by Depu-
ty Sheriff Tuttle on the clerk of the Barre
and Montpelier Traction and Power Com
pany in suit for breach of contract brought
by j. s. Viles. The amount ot damages
claimed in the writ is $4,000. Certain
proT erty OF the company was attached and
tie snit is returnable at the present term OF
w shington county court, although it will
not be tried until the March term.
The validity OF the contract between Mr..
Viles and the electric road will be the
question at issue. The former claims a five
year contract that has been broken.

Viles, and r. A. Hoar OF Barre for the

ously brought two other suits against the

THE opposition to the trusts does not
seem to be very we'll organized. Two
conventions met within the same week,
one at Chicago and one at st. Louis.
The one at Chicago does not seem to
have had any particular political sig
ntficance, and If good can come from
open discussion of the trust question,
perhaps the atmosphere may
be:cleared somewhat by the winds set in
motion at Central Music hall. The
convention at ST. Louis called by
Governor sayers is democratic cam
paign move, which will be taken for
exactly what it is worth and no more.
The prospects are that the st. Louis
convention will be very sparsely at
tended except by men who hope to
make political capital out of their loud
but shallow and indiscriminate de-
nunoiation of Industrial combina
lions. The trust question is not
one for partisan controversy.
It is an economic problem which re-
quires careful study and judicious
legislation. It is only within ten or
twelve years that the question has be-
come such an!important one: affecting
all citizens alike. 1t is not to be ex-
pected that so great q problem can be
settled easily or at once. Open discus
sion Is good, but violent denunciation
and specious Misrepresentation of facts
will be just as damaging to the dem
ocratic party on this question as it was
in the year 1896 on the questions of
free silver and the power of federal
courts

granting special favors would be
greatly checked. There IL no question
that by the acceptance of q public fran
ohise the managers of the great public
corporations assume certain responsible
lities toward the public that may right
fully be enforced in law. There has been
too much OF disposition in the past
to grant charters and franchises with
out providing for any substantial re-
turn to the municipality or state in
which the ownership rests. The true
theory would seem to be that franchis-
es should never be given away or sold,
bnt should invariably be leased for a
vesting in the public.

ginia Friday, his execution being
the first for that crime ever carried GU,
in that state. Capital punishment for
highway robbery is usually supposed
to prevail in the more
sparsely populated and less well
ordered communities. 1t seems that
they are stricter about these things in
Virginia than they are in the wild
west. II capital punishment was ever
justifable it is as a punishment for
the crime of traiu robbery, in which
the acts of bandits often imperil the
lives of hundreds of people. The
penalty should be strictly enforced
and quickly carried out.

ACCORDING to Chairman Jones, OF
the democratic national committee, the
next presidential campaign will be
fought by the democratic party on
a platform of four ants: Anti-1m-
perialism, anti-trusts, anti-honesty,
and anti-prosperity. Jones spells the
two last free silver" and 'snti-tariff. ="
Jones says that "these issues are OF
prime Importance and will be endors-
ed by the convention. Other issues
will be met as they arise" 1t is our
humble opinion that the democratic
candidates also twill be met as they
arise" and quickly put to sleep by the
glorious country.

must be accounted as q victory for

AT the Chicago trust conference the

interesting suggestion. He proposes
that it be made grave offense on the
part of the managers of any public
corporation to refuse to disclose to any
shipper at any time every contract
and agreement made with any other
person. He advocates "simple
statute of publicity" 1t is

IT Is asserted that North Carolina
has just entered upon q death struggle

has just entered upon q death struggle
between the white man and the black
man. The whites have started in to
effect the total and permanent dis
reimbursement of the one hundred
thousand negro voters of that state.
The campaign is wsged upon propos-
ed amendment to the constitution,
passed by the last legislature and sub
mitted to the people. The amendment
was devised for the sole
purpose of shutting the negro
out of politics. An educational
qualification is provided for, but it is so
framed that no white man will be dis
franchised by the requirements, which
will disfranchise many negroes. The
discrimination Ia made in this wise:
Every adult male who applies for re-
gistration must be able to read and
write any part of the federal constitu
ton. This clause bars forever from
the privileges of citizenship from fifty
to one hundred Thousand illiterste
negro voters. But there are many
thousands of illiterate white voters. and
there is no intention to shut these out
A section is therefore introduced
which provides that lineal
des cendaut of any person
who was voter in this country prior
to 1867 shall be entitled to vote
whether illiterate or not. Il is said
that the contest will be waged with all
the bitterness of thirty years growth.
The test has come and the fight will be
fought to q finish. Theory and
prophecy are alike worthless. We
can but await the result. Thus
while we are making history in some
directions, we are unmaking it in 9TH
ers. To some the disfranchisement of
the negro voters of the south will look
like fearful crime. To many others
1t will appear simply as long needed
correction of the mistakes of recon-
struction. In another century, per-
haps, History will be able to say OF
this one. "He is right" and of that
one. Gle is wrong" but now she can
only standby, watch, and record

Capturing the Worlds Markets.

The increase in the amount of the
export of manufactured goods by the
United States in the past nine or ter
years is one of the commercial msrvels
of the time. In the fiscal year 1890, &C
cording to figures just sent out by the
bureau of statistics at Washing ton, the
United States exported S151, 102 376 Of
manufactured goods of all sorts. In the
| fiscal year 1899, which closed On June
| 30, a little over two months ago, the
exports of the same class of wares were
$685., 667, 1914. AT the beginning of the
period named, in the year 1890, the
country's imports of manufactures
were 1856, 651. $40. They were S263,-
248 $50 in the fiscal year 1899.
Here is an exhibit which will be a
surprise to the world, and exceedingly
gratifying to the United States. The
amount of the country's exports OF
man ufactures have more than doubled,
the increase being 12O per cent, in
the decade, while the imports of COM
peting goods have fallen off 26 per cent
in that time. The extent of the
growth of manufactures can be
appreciated by comparing it with
the growth in population in the
about 10 per cent. The United States
is expanding in number of Inhabitants
far faster than any other great nation
in the world, but its increase in the
sales of its manufactured goods abroad
is six times greater. Moreover, the
gain is still under way, as shown by
such figures as have come to hand since
the new fscal year began in July.
This immense expansion in our sales
of manufactured goods in the rest of
the world is a fine tribute to the virtue
Of the nrntactiva nOliov IN
business sense of the republican party
in devising it, and in placing 1t on the
statute book in defiance of the opposi-
ton of the democracy. It also &C.
counts for the great activity In all the
country's leading industries.
More manufactured goods are
consumed in the United States now
than at any period in the past, but
they are chiefly homemade goods, and
are used here is constantly aud rapidly
increasing. No other country in the
world is so nearly self-sustaining as the
Ur tied States. No other has so many
of the comforts and the luxuries of
life. Half century ago it was the be-
lief of a very large number
of the people of the country that
the exports of the Uuited States would
always be confined chiefly to agricul
theory held by all the leaders of the
democratic party. It is the theory
which has been acted upon by that
party almost to the present time. The
changed all these condi-
tions. They framed an Intelligent sys-
tenn of protection to domestic employ
ments which stood in need of it, and
which promised to expand into import
ant proportions on account of it. This
nj ;aL
democracy from the beginning, has
not only put the United States in the
front rank OF manufacturing countries.
but has enabled it to conquer q stead
lily and rapidly enlarging market In
the principal countries of the world.
