A dispatch was received from Ad-

very heavy. The Americans lost over
two hundred, Colonel Liscum being

4 FRIEND TO THE FARMERS.

In it's endeavor to push it's senate
rial candidate to the fore, and Gen
Grout to the rear of the political pic
ture the Burlington Free Press falls in
to deep bitches, tears its raiment and
exposes it's dislike of the working
er. 1t tells the good people of V err
mont-the farmers-the very men
who have made the state and might
o-day control it politically-that
their day of labor is ''from sun to
sum- This Dillingham; organ does
not believe its own statement. Time
and time again has the Free Press
preached and prated that the farmer
was the most Independent ofall class
es. 1t will say it again and again be-
fore this campaign is over, and it will
say it when it attempts to turn the
farmer vote to representatives who
will be expected to vote for Dilling-
ham. The farmer makes his own
hours of labor. If he tolls from sun
to sun it is because he sees greater
gain in so doing greater and more
abundant crops. He has no set hours
of labor. Apparently the fact that
Gen. Grout has demonstrated that he
is friend of the farmer is like gall
and wormwood to our esteemed con-
temporary. 1t accuses Grout Of
posing as the farmers friend. Gen.
Grout does not pose. 1t isn't his ma
ture. He is what he is without frills
Or feathers of any kind-honest and
true, not only to the farmers of the
state, but to everybody in the state.
To be accused of being a friend of
labor, is not, as the Free Press would
lead us to suppose, a demeaning
position. To be friend of labor is to
be the country's best friend. Tt speaks
of the effort of organized labor to Sc
cure uniform and lesser hours per day
as 'sa labor day eight hours long with
15 days vacation" The working man
is justified in his effort to regulate the
number of hours he is to labor, the
same as the employer has right to
organize in his own interests, and the
office holder, no matter how small or
how exalted the Office, is to be COM
mended for his efforts in behalf of the
toiler. The Free Press is on the right
track to make friends for it's political
opponent. Keep at it!-BurIingt gto1a

THE OLEOMARGARINE BILL.

The following letter from the Sec
retary of the National Dairy Unior
will be of interest to our readers as il
shows the feeling of those most inter
ested in the passage of the bill. That
the bill will be passed despite the
strong opposition of the oleo people
there is little doubt. We are also
safe in predicting that Gen. Grout
will be in the senate to assist in get
ting it through that body.
Editor Monitor:
A short time ago the undersigned
came into possession of a Vermont
paper in which the defeat of the
Grout bill was deplored, and the gen.
eral drift of the article showed plain
ly that there is some misapprehen-
sion regarding the status of the bill.
The Grout bill was not defeated. 1t
has thus far won every point against
the fiercest opposition.
AS secretary of the organization
which was actively engaged in the
support of this measure, 1 desire to
request that this misapprehension be
dispelled as far as possible, as such
an idea is liable to discourage our
people throughout New England.
The fact is, that the Grout bill is in
the very best position for US, as it will
be acted upon December 9th without
fail, giving us three months in the
senate at the short session, and we
have no fear of the outcome in the
House. The status of the bill is best
comprehended from the enclosed ex-
tract from the Chicago Record of
June 7th, which will explain itself.
"One of the hardest fights that has
taken place in Congress for many
years has been over what is familiar
ly known as the butter BILL which
imposes tax on oleomargarine, and
although the friends of the dairy
men in congress were not able to Sc
cure action upon the measure they
succeeded in having rule adopted
making it the special order for De-
cemoer 6, the third day of the next
session"
am not here suggesting anything
for publication, but merely writing to
