From the Republican Campaign Text
Book.


The Republican campaign text book
opens with the assertion that: -Four great
facts seem to justify the Republican party
in asking the voters Of the United States
to continue Il in control of the affairs of
the government. First, the promptness
with which it has fulfilled the pledges Of
its platform upon which it successfully APP
peaed to the people in 1896; second, the
prosperity which has come to all classes of
our citizens WITH and as a result Of, the
fulflment of those pledges third, the evil
dence which that prosperity furnishes Of
the fallAcy of the principles offered by the
opposing parties in 1896, and still support
ed by them; and, fourth, the advantages
to our country, our commerce and our
people in the extension Of area, commerce
and international influence which have
unex pectedly come as an incident of the
fulflment of one of the important pledges
Of the platform Of 1895, and with it the OPP
portunity for benefi,ing the people of the
territory affected"
Among the notable facts cited in evi.
dence of business improvement are: The
reduction in failures from S34G,0OO,0O0 in
1898 and S22G,OOO,OOO in 1896 to 500, OOO,-
0C0 in 1899; the increase of clearing house
returns from Sj2,0O0,OOO 600 in 1896 to
$50 600, 600 600 in 1899; an increase of
5000, 900 tons of freight carried by rail-
ways in 1s9S, as compared with 1891, and
an increase of more than 1000, 100000 Of
bank deposits in 1899, as compared with
1874. This great business activity, coupled
with heavy exports and light imports,
which are shown TO have always accompan-
led the protective system, has resulted in
an enormous increase Of money in circula-
ton, despite the assertions constantly
made in 1896 that there could be no mate
rial increase in the circulating medium
without imitation by way of free coinage of
silver. Notwithstanding the rejection of
that proposition the money in circulation
in the United States increased from 81, 500,
434, 966 at the date of Mr.. Bryan's 1896
nomination to S2,0G2, 425, 496 at the date
of his nomination in 1900, while the gold
and gold certificates in circulation, which
in July, 1896, were but S497 600, 600, were
in July, 1900, 1915, 474, coo, the per capita
of circulation thus increasing from S2l. 10
at the date of the Chicago convention of
1896 to S26.50 at the date of the Kansas
City convention of 1900.

RoUs1Na REPUBLICAN RALLY.

1000 People Cheered the Flag and APP
pInudsd the Sentiments Expressed by
Hon. l.. NJ. Read aud Hon. Frank
Plumley Friday Evening.
A rousng Republican rally was held in
West Brattleboro last Friday evening,
when nearly 1000 people gathered on the
common, stamped and cheered when a
Mckinley az Roosevelt banner was I'M
furled across the Main street and enthusi-
astically applauded the sentiments of Hon.
Lavant M. Read of Bellows Falls and Hon.
Frank Pumley of Mortified.
The electric cars carried several hun
dred people from here to the West village
aud fully as many gathered there from the
suburban" districts, many coming in
teams and a good number on foot. The
First Regiment band arrived at West Brat
tleboro shortly before 1880 and went inn
mediately to the place where the flag rails
ing was to be held. AS the stars and
stripes, with the names of the Republican
candidates attached, were swung across the
street the band struck up THE Star
Spanged Banner" and everybody
cheered spontaneously. After the first
cheers for the flag and also three for the
siastically.
The speaking took place from a plat
form erected for the occasion on the con-
mon opposite Stockwel's store. Among
those who occupied seats with the speak
ers were Col. Kittredge Haskins, Col. Geo.
w. Hooker, Col. H. 4. Taylor, George l..
| Durham, president of the Brattleboro Re-
publican club, X. 4. Gordon, chairman of
the Republican town committee, and Geo.
| w. Pierce.
Mr.. Read spoke first, being introduced
to his audience by Mr.. Durham. His ad-
dress was an exceedingly effective argu-
ment in favor of and unfolding the pres
ent administration in its Philippine policy.
He also touched upon the other issues
which are before the voters in the present
political struggle, and strongly urged every
Republican to do his share in electing
Mckinley and Roosevelt by voting at the
coming state elections.
Mr. Plumleys speech was an equally
convincing and powerful plea in behalf OF
Republicanism and expansion, made doubly
interesting by statistics which illustrated
as clearly as a stereopticon. Both speak.
ers held the attention Of the audience won,
derfully, hardly a person leaving until Mr.
Plumley finished, although two-thirds Of
those present were obliged to stand.

you, and of which you gleefully speak as
"laughing a man out of court" is the fol-
lowing language, "Gcn. Grout supported
the oleomargarine tax bill Of 1896. 1t did
not pass. and why? We cannot tell"
Again, a little further on in the same
article, Is this language: eve are not a
bit surprised that certain Vermont papers
have compared favorably the eloquence of
Grout with the efforts of Morrill, and Ed
munds. But the oleomargarine bill did
not become law. Grout supp lrted it.
There is the hitch" Nov then, friend
French, the laugh comes in right here
The oleomargarine bill of 1856 did become
a law, and is a law today.
How can laugh when | find this kind
of false statement in the same issue Of a
paper that accuses me of trying "to fool
the farmers" | cannot laugh out loud

another joke. It is in the same issue and
as follows:
There ought to be one decided element
of strength in Mr.. Fitts's candidacy. 1t is
very well understood that when Gen. Grout
was here recently he appealed to his friends
to defeat the nomination of Mr.. Fits,
whatever else might be done. 1t now re-
mains TO be seen whether the voters Of
| Brattleboro care to have their action die
tated from the outside in this way"
Nor am | willing to be "laughed out of
court by this squib, which is absolutely
false. | have made no request whatever as
TO Ftts's candidacy. In fact did not know
that he was the candidate of the Dilling-
ham cause till learned it in The Phoenix
And hope the voters of Brattledoro will
not be prejudiced by the falsehood that l
am trying to dictate" to them Friend
French, you ought to hold in check your
Imagination. 1t is liable to spoil your rep
utation as a fair man. ". ". e..

From the Fair Haven Era !

tits a pleasure TO commend business ability
in any department of public administration
but it is with especial qualification that we
extend our congratulations to Col. j. Gray
Estey for the excellent business tact he is
showing in putting the Vermont National
Guard upon such a substantial footing. He
has wrought order out of disorder, and, re-
Numbering the lessons of the past, he
seeks to make Vermont's militia as effect
i've an organization as that of any state. We
believe that Col, Estey will make the state
guard a source of strength, and an organi-
cation to which we may point with pride.
We wish him continued success in this
good work.

pines.
Judge Taft, chairman of the Philippine
commission in Manila, says large num-
Der of insurgent officers have availed them
selves of President McKinley's proclama-
ton of amnesty. The commissioners be-
lieves the time is rapidly approaching when
they will be able to assume the charge of
the government of the islands. Judge
Taft reports that prominent Filipino Of
ticers have held a number of conferences
on the question of making peace proposals
to Gen. Macarthur. These conferences
indicate that the Filipino leaders are not
in sympathy with Aguinaldo in prolonga-
ton of hOstilities. Judge Taft believes
that these leaders will be able to exert suf-
ficient influence with Aguinaldo to get him
to agree to a cessation of all hostile acts
and to accept the terms of the Presidents
proclamation of amnesty. Judge Taft in
dictates in one of his letters that the only
difficulty in the way of securing absolute
peace is Aguinaldo's refusal to consider
the proposition of the commission. As
the commissioners have full power to nego-
tiate with Aguinaldo for his surrender, it
is probable That they will be able to in
duce him to follow the advice of the in-
surgent officers. This would remove the
last obstacle in the way of substitution of
a civil government for military control.

Sheriff Wilson arrived in Bennington
Saturday evening having in custody Thorn
as Sullivan, who had been wanted some
time for stealing horse in Readsboro over
a year ago. Sullivan was lost track of but
finally located at the Farmers Inn in Hoo
sick just over the line. Wilson went to
Hoosick several weeks ago, had Sullivan
arrested and taken before a justice there,
who held him awaiting the arrival of re-
QUESTION papers, but let him go free on the
promise of friends that they would have
Sullivan on hand when wanted. Wilson
got requisition papers, went for him, he
had disappeared and his bail was no good
Wilson made two visits to Hoosick, con-
WINGED the justice that it would be to his
advantage to produce the man, which he
finally did. Sullivan had been in Savoy,
Mass, in seclusion, thinking that the af-
fair would soon blow over. He is now in
