MIR. Major. the famous cement man. of
New York, explains some very interesting
facts abont Majors Cement;
The mutituueS who Use tins standard az
ticle know that it is many hundred per
cent, better than other dement's tor when
similar claims are made. but II great many
do not know why The simple reason Is
that Mr.. Mayor uses the best materials
ever discovered and other manufacturers
do not use them. bee uSe they are too en-
pcusive and do not allow large NrnhtS. Mr..
Major tells Us that one of the elements OF
his cement costs - 10 pound, amt an
other costs - lis II gallon. while large
share of the so-callel dement's and liquid
glue upon the market are nothing more
than siXteen-cent glue dissolved III water
or citric acid. and III some cases altered
slightly in color and odor ny me anultloh
of cheap and useless mat erlalS.
Majors cement retails ut nj teen ana
twenty-five cents II bottle. and when II
dealer tries to sell II substitute You can de-
pend upon it that his only object Is to make
larger profit.
The profit ON Majors cement is as much
us any dealer ought to make ON any cement.
And this is doubly true in view of the fact
that each dealer gets his share of the bene-
fit of Mr. Majors advertising. which now
amounts to over 5000 II month. throughout
the country. Established in 1876.

Rutland and Woodstock Railway.

The officers of the new company
which have purchased the charter
of the long proposed Rutland and
Woodstock railroad have been
chosen and are as follows: Presi-
dent. lockwood Barrett; vice presi'
dent, III. W. 'urgett; clerk, Walter
b. Dunton. These with Leroy w.
Baldwin and W. III. Baldwin com
posed the board of directors. Chas.
III. West is treasurer.
The plans for the operations of
the company are, of course, as yet
all immature. But it i, a safe guess
that within il YEAR work will actu-
ally commence ON the construction
of the line. Surveys Of the road to
Woodstock have already been made.
These contemplated il steam line.
The new line, it built, will be an
electric line and the distance thereby
considerably shortened. This will
necessrtate radical changes in the
surveys, which will be made in the
near future.
The proposition is under consid-
Grafton of building the line to White
river Junction. In fact, several
propositions are under discussion.
1t will not he surprising if the com
pany will decide to put the line right
through to Montpelier and thence to
Newport, or effect consultations
with other roads which will make a
through line, at all, when it is built.
The line to Whiteriver Junction, it
is figured, will be between so and
S. miles in length.
One thing seems certain, there is
going to be great activity in rail
road matters, with Rutland as the
center of operations. within the

Keep History Straight.

Russia has sent to the United States
an agent to study our homestead legis-
lation. In its earliest years the Re-
publican party devised the homestead
law that has attracted the attention
of the world ieSco Repujican.
The principle of the homestead law
is older than the republican party.
The first homestead law was adopted
by the congress OF Texas in 1889, six
years before its annexation to the
United States. Thomas H. Benton
who died before the republican party
was born IN advocacy of a homestead
law for giving our extensive public
domain to actual settlers in limited
quantities in support Of the measure
said in the senate of which he was a
member:
"Tenantry is unfayorable to freedom.
The tenant has, in fact, no country
no hearth, 10 domestic altar, no house
hold god. The freeholder, on the
contrary, is the natural supporter of a
free government, and it should be the
policy of republics to multiply their
freeholders, as it is the policy of
monarchies to multiply their tenants. I"
Under republican policies Iowa has
10000 tenant farmers, and no mon
archy on the face of the earth has as
many tenant farmers as the United
States nearly all of which came since
the adoption of republican policies of
government. 1t granted an empire to
railroad corporators,. in alternate
sections advancing the price of the
section net granted away to $3.50 per
acre, thus exacting from the settler
the price Of the land granted to the
corporation.

Subservient to the Trusts,


Mr.. McKinley's first administration
was devoted to faithful service in be.
half of the trusts at the expense OF
the American people. Under no other
president had there been witnessed
SO complete sacrifice of the rights
of the many to the privileges of the
few. The American government was
transformed into a caste government
the very evil most dreaded by its
founders, and against which they
most strenuously warned those who
should come after them. The result
has been tremendous increase of
trust formations and trust power
SO great that the combines We're en-
abled to reflect to the presidency the
man who had so signally represented
their interests in the governments.

DEMocRACY's FUTURE.
The Party Will Always Combat Imps.
rinlism and the Work Against
the Trusts.

will the democratic party" asks q
New York paper, now be restored to
the control of its reason and its con-
science, and furnish once more real
opposition?" Much depends upon what
is meant by Its reason and its con-
science" If reason" and Conscience"
mean complete acquiescence in impe-
rialism, militarism and the unre-
strained reign of industrial monopoly,
then the democratic party as whole
will probably never return to the con-
troll of its reason" and its CON
science" Part of it may return, but
not all of it.
The future of the democratic party,
1t seems, is already the theme of spec
ulation. No one can pretend to fore
cast its development. There are MANY
and varied possibilities. The parallel
Of the liberal party in Great Britain
would indicate that, with the imperial
istic spirit unchecked. the democratic
party may break into fragments.
There are signs of this already The
gold democrats contain a large pro-
portion of the imperialists, while the
south, solid enough. may contain alto
gether too much genuine imperialistio
spirit and too much native contempt
for inferior races to be kept long in
support of an anti-imperialistic pro-
gramme.
Or, take the question of plutocracy,

one of the greatest of the future. Will
the old democratic party ever again
form compact organization on that
issue? Is it possible for the democracy
of Whitney, German, Fairchild and
Charles R. Flint ever to harmonic
again with that of Mr.. Bryan and Sen
ator Tillman, so long as industrial mo-
nopoly and the growth of the class
spirit continue in America?
Some people are asking what will
now become of Mr.. Bryan? AS ques-
ton of politics, that has very slight
relative Importance. The real ques-
tion is whether the fundamental issues
which formed the heart and soul of the
democratic campaign this year have
been settled forever in this country by
the republican majorities. Upon the
survival of those issues in the minds of
the great masses of Americans will de-
pend the character of the future devel-
opment of the democratic party. Only
one thing seems fairly sure. An effort
to make the party conform to the impe-
rialism, militarism and unrestrained
monopolistic spirit of some of its for
mer leaders and adherents would rend
it again, and probably increase amaz-
ingly the political power of socialism
in the United states.-Springfeld
