Fiftv-Eight Years OId!!

It's long life, but devotion to the true
interests and prosperity of the American
People has won for it new friends as the
years rolled by and the original members
of its family passed to their reward, and
hese admirers are loyal and steadfast
o.dsy, with faith in its teachings, and
confidence in the information which it
brings to their homes and fresides.
As natural consequence it enjoys in
its old age all the vitality and vigor of its
youth, strengthened and ripened by the
experiences of over half a century.
1t has lived on its merits, and on the
cordial support of progressive Americans.

If the farmers can organize to Sc
cure fair and remunerative price for
their products, as it is now reported
they are doing in the valley of the
Mississippi, it is their right and priv
ilege to do this. In many departments
of business the prices of production
are ruinously low, the result of the
competition that is the death of trade.
If the farmers of Vermont could be
assured twenty-five cents a pound for
butter, nearly every other department
of trade could undoubtedly be greatly
improved thereby. The farmers have
been the constant and vigorous oppo-
nents of trusts, but there are entirely
proper and Legitimate combinations for
the regulation of trade and production.
There are trusts and trusts. The in
discriminating howl against these organ
iztions is for the most part pure bum
combe.

his second residence he hunts the ad-

again asserts itself. Then he strikes
off home, which he reaches by an alto
gether new route, or rather a series OF
routes. He is not n creature Of habit.
Occasionally he curls himself up like
a house cat and sleeps on the ground,
hunting usually by night and some
times two weeks may elapse before he
regains his starting point. Without
doubt he keeps his rowing up all the

WHAT DEWEY SAYS.

Everybody has been glad to hear
anything that Admiral Dewey might
say. Anti-republicans have delighted
in claiming that he was a democrat,
opposed to expansion, opposed to the
present Philippine war and n of 'em
in most every particular. But they
will have to now turn a cold shoulder
upon him. In an interview just as he
was leaving the Philippines he said: II
have the greatest enthusiasm in the
future of the Philippines. I hope to
9 Americas possessions the key to
oriental commerce and civilization.
The brains of our great country will
develop the untold agricultural and
mineral richness of the islands.
"We must never sell them. Such an
action would bring on another great
war. We will never part with the
Phil ppines, 1 am sure, and in future
years the idea that anybody should
have seriously suggested it will be one
of the curiosities of history.
"The instruction is broken. There
will be no more hard battles and the
new era for the islands that was tenn.
porarily delayed by the rising will
soon begin.n
