Striking Figures,

1t Is predicted that the census to be TAX
,n in June will show the United States
to have a population of l00,GNOO0, but
whether or not these figures are reached
1t is certain that our population has made
al enormous gain during the present de-
eade. There are statistics at hand which
lemons ratio that this country is making
enormous progress in various directions,
however no matter what the number Of
growth in the receipts Of the postal de-
partment from 900 in 1850 to over
500 1900 during the fiscal year now clos
Ing, IS record which is without parable
but our development promises TO be even
more remarkable during the next few
years, The issues Of stamped postal pa
per for the three months ending March
3d. 1909, amounted TO S262S0 7G7; whereas
ICr the same period OF last year the fig
ures were $2iC49,97i a gain of sl,G3o,793 i'm
a single year.
The growth Of our manufacturing in
tcrests and our export trade has also been
very large, as has been our development
along various other lines, but perhaps the
most significant progress to be quoted is
that made with our trade with the Far
East our exports TO Japan in 1898 as-
gregated only IS l95, i94. while in 1899 they
amounted TO the enormous sum of ST. 26i
G.s, and a the present rate of growth the
aggregate for the year 1900 will be in the
vicinity OF s26 900, 900. Our exports TO Chi

Dillingham; Sentiment in Addison
County.

To tho Editor of the Free Press:
The NergenneS Nermonter in a review
of Addison county politics stated that
Starkshoro had two senatorial candidates
and that the Starksboro canvass would
settle which one would be presented to
the convention. Then turning to the
southern district 1t stated that Cornwall
would be handicapped by two candidates,
DR.. Porter and Judge Bingham. The lat
ter has since written the Nermonter that
he was not a candidate for the position
but supposing he were why should two
aspirants handicap Cornwall more than
Starksboro?
The trouble with Cornwall in the esti-
nation of the paper in question is that
whoever she presents to the convention
VIII be am lou, and OUT supporter If
Hon. William +. Dillingham; for the posi-
ton of nited States senator. John \.
James of Weybridge, n respected citizen,

Senate.
Hon. Joseph Battell whilom populist
candidate for governor will represent Ais
pocket borough, Weybridge, in the House
this fall and i'm return for this he has set
up James for the Senate. The people of
Addison county are for Dillingham; and
will they permit junto 10 send men TO

SITUATION IN FIRST DISTRICT,

lows; Addison, 10; Bennington, 20: Chit
tenden Is; Franklin, So: Grand Isle, II;
Lamoille, 81 Rutland, 100. 1t will require
l9i votes TO secure a nomination.
COL. Joel c. Baker will have the support
of Rutland County. G. S Page may not
carry 20 per cent. of Lamoille County. As
the candidates now stand the contest Will
he narrowed down TO Col. Baker and
Judge Powers. We Will not undertake TO
play the role Of prophet, but as Mr.. Page,
after losing his lead in the contest, set
about winning second choices we do not
mind saying that his second choice fight
is doomed from the start one trouble
with Page is his home county, where he
cannot win majority of even second
choices
Col Bakers friends are conducting a
dignified canvass. They believe that he
will represent this district with conspic-
uous ability and they are convinced thu t
the voters VIII realize this before conven-
ton day.

Bicycle Bells and Lamps.

Bicycles are becoming dangerously
numerous. Prior to the city charter
it was violation OF law to ride them

should lose no time in the passage Of a

should be passed and strictly enforced.
