SOUND ETHICS ARE GOOD COMMERCE. :

Chicago, Jan. S.-Former Governor
w. ID. Hoard of Wisconsin, left this
city. last night, for Brattleboro. VI.
to attend a meeting of the National
Dairy Union of which he is the prcsi
dent.
Mr.. Hoard talked freely on the pro
interests of the United States which
will be preached At the present sess-
sion of Congress. The ex-governor is
in favor of a law which will put the
artificial product on its own merits be
fore the consumer. He continued:
The stupid dishonesty Of the Amer
lean policy has lost US an immense
foreign market In 1850 we shipped Ia
England $4,000. 900 worth of cheese.
Then We began to make filled" cheese
and, in 1899, our exports t. England
WAS So 100000 worth of cheese.
Canada has laws that secure pure
foods. She saw her opportunity ana
has taken the English market from
US. She exported. in 1899 200 900
worth Of cheese. The figures prove
that sound ethics are good commerce.
Fraud results in loss of trade. What
we want To do is to provide against
countc!frits and gradually regain our
trade.

WHlIeFiElD'S HARD LUCK.
People Can't Pay Their Taxes and the Sheriff
Is Alter Them.

pamlriScotta. Me. Jan. S.-Unless
the little town Of Whitofrld UP at the
head Of the Dlmariscotta river, pays
its bills and settles with Sheriff Piper
now on his way there To collect taxes.
some Of its barrel-making inhabitants
may have to petition it into bankrupt
cy or knock il down IT, the highest
bidder to satisfy the sheriff's claim for
arrears in interest The town owes
$32 600 ana its valuation is only 5000.
but with less than 800 inhabitants try
ing to exc out living making lime
barrels, and paying taxes as high as S20
on a thousand there seems to be but
little prospect Of Sheriff Piper getting
even part If his claim.
Up to this time every one did his
best toward settling his tax bill So that
the holders Of the towns Indebtedness
had some return for their money But
since the taxes went up to 20 no one
has come forward to settle.
The town has had many revcrscs. the
hardest setback being a misappropria-
ton of funds some years ago. The in
habitants are sturdy. honest people
but the lime barre! business is not " hat
il used to be. so they have great
trouble in paying their own bills. let
alone the towns. ana at present there
Scrcms to be very little interest as to
