NOT AN AGRICULTURAL STATE.

A short time ago the Waterman
launched the following innocent para
graph; "There is plenty Of some
kinds of liquid in Vermont just now
but too little rain water. " The Watch
man had no particular motive in print
ing it but it is glad that it did so be-
cause it has led to something of real
interest. The Rutland News copied
the paragraph and added-"it is sig
nificant that the farmers, the main pro-
ducers of Vermont, generally voted for
water The St. Adams Messenger
invites attention to the reference to
the farmers as "main producers and
takes exception to the statement 1t
says:
1T has been so long the habit to
think of Vermont as an agricultural
State and to regard the farmer as the
only source of it's prosperity, and farm
ing as the only material resource de-
serving of public interest or of special
legislation, that men and newspapers
fall into occasional offhand references
to the subject much as The News has
done. But the facts will not bear the
contemporary out. The farmers are not
the main producers of Vermont, {"
and have not been for several years.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1903-05-21

According to the last census the value
of farm products annually is S33, $40,
1872, that is to say, that was the value
OF farm products in 1899, fair
year to judge by. The value of
manufactured products, on the 9TH
er hand is $57, 623, S15, which is not
so very far from being twice the value
of farm products. Not only that, but
the manufactured products have been
ahead of the farm products for nearly
twenty years. In 1880, the value of
manufactured products was $31, 354,-
1866, which, it will be noticed, is only
short about $4,000, 600 of equalling
the value of farm products now. In
1890 the value of manufactured prod
ucts had reached $3S, $40. $685. and in
1900 it was $57, 1928, S15. The gain in
the past ten years is fifty per cent,
which fact emphasizes anew the great
changes that are gra dually being in
troduced into our Vermont life and
activities.
Vermont is not an agricultural
State. 1t is true that probably the
greater part of her inhabitants de-
rive their support directly from farm
ing, but even so, the drift OF popula-
tion is steadily away from the farms
to the villages and larger towns and
cities, and the farms themselves pro-
al 10 -,
out of the State. Vermont cannot be
called an agricultural State when she
does little more than partially support
her own people by farm products,
when she imports her grains and flour
and in some of the larger cities even a
fair share of table vegetables and
fruits. Iowa, Illinois and the other
States in the great prairie regions
of the West are agricultural States
as the world understands that term
today.
''The Messenger has repeatedly ven
tured the opinion that Vermont is one
day to be known as State whose
material resources are to be found in
dairying, quarrying, manufacturing,
and mining, and that day is drawing
nearer and nearer as the foregoing
| figures show. However much some of
our good friends may dislike to admit
| it, however much some of them may
even LIND their eyes to 1t, we are liv-
ing in the transition stages of the
New Vermont. This matter of the
change in the character of her prod
ucts is but one of the many and vari-
GUS evidences that the generation now
active in this State is to live to see
changes even more significant still.
And they will be worth living for"

to job, be it railway merger,
ship combine or presidential boom,
it were we'll that prudent men took
note of it. At least none such will
make light of it. Briefly, the scheme
is this: To force Mr. Cleveland's
nomination by the al is of the black
mailing mugwump and the money Of
the syndicate; and, having him NOM
mated, bay New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut, and the one addi-
tional vote necessary to elect, relying
upon the solid south, reduced to
choice between Cleveland and Roose-
welt, to take Cleveland. If this be
so, and it is far from impossible,
won't the Democrats have glorious
time marching under the banner of
the multi millionaire class. The
Democratic journals will have to give
Senator Hanna a cartoon suit minus
the dollar signs, and Jeffersonian
simplicity will have a much needed
rest.

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.

From almost every corner of the
State the railroad commission is re-
ceiving praise and thanks for recent
actions. Better connections at Bur-
lington between the Central Vermont
and Rutland railroad systems, the sat
isfactory settlement of the station con-
troversy at Bellows Falls, and i'm
proved crossing safeguards at Newport
are among the results of the commits
sioner's labors that have made the peo-
pie affected really have faith in the
power and ability of the board to con-
troll the railroads. The new law re-
lating to the railroad commission
passed by the last Legislature is al
ready bearing fruit. In former years
the commissioners have had the will

Mr.. HAY AND JEWISH PERSEOU-
TIONS.

Because Secretary Hay entered q
protest against the religious persecu-
tions in Roumania few months ago,
the state department has been impor-
tuned to take similar action with re-
gard to the reported persecution of the
Jews in Russia. The two cases are
widely different however and it is not
at all likely that any action will be
taken in the latter case. In the case
of Roumania the United States was in
sense party to the agreement which
preserved the integrity of the nation,
and could protest against violation
of the pledges made by treaty. In the
Roumanian incident, too, there was
ground on which personal complaint
could be based, as the ports of this
country we're being flooded with an
undesirable class of emigrants who
were driven from their homes by the
oppression to which they were sub
jected. But the case of the Jews in
Russia is widely different Russia
is sovereign State and the persecu-
tions, even if they exist to the extent
reported, entails no personal suffering
on the United States, and protest
would be as unwarranted as though
the Russian government entered a
protest against the lynching of negroes
in the south or any other crimes
against humanity in this country.

n song OF THE YANKE E.

If you chance to sail unchartered seas,
An unknown shore to gain,-
Its ten, to one, when you reach the
land
A naked native is on the sand
With an Elgiu timepiece in his hand,
Or a sardine tin from Maine;
And under a spreading cocoa tree
There stands traders tent,
Where lonely stranger is selling
clocks,
And Springfield guns, and Stamford
locks,
Jack knives and liniment
He halls from Maine or from Lake
Champlain,
Or maybe from Salem, Mass.
His face is lean and his wit is keen,
And his eye lets nothing pass;
In an unmade land or a desert sand,
IT'S his especial pride
To do odd jobs for Providence,
And help himself on the side.
The Yankee inherits deal CT craft
From his stern faced Pilgrim sires,
Who learned restraint though they
suffered much,
And who dwelt in peace with the
Grabbed Dutch,
And taught the wilderness at their
touch,
To yield what man requires.
And the mission spirit will drive some
Yanks
Wherever man can roam,-
While others with delicate skill design
Wooden nutmegs and hams of pine,
To sell to the folks at home.
He's from 'Gansett Bay, or Ports
mouth way,
Or maybe from Hartford, Conn.
No thief that's made, in any shade,
Can steal what his eye is on;
Where the world is raw each lantern
jaw
Is chewing it into shape
Then give God thanks that His bony
Yanks
Are scattered from Cape to Cape.

to do many things that lack of power
has kept them from doing, but now
they are clothed with more authority
and the results are evident.
The railroad commissioners have as
a rule been able men in past years and
the present officials are no exceptions.
They have many important interests
toslook after and apparently they are
doing their duty faithfully. Even
now they are not so powerful as some
of us wish they were but it is so evi-
dent that the added authority is re-
bounding to the greatest good of the

future Legislature may add to it still
more.

In his Washington interview, which
bids fair to become popular text
book on the Philippines, Commission
er Ide gives some interesting inform
alton concerning the Filipino as a
drinker. He says the Filipino drinks
his bino, which is a cordial or liquor
and when properly used is not the
deadly beverage that it is reported to
be. 1t is drunk by the Filipinos as
our people drink liquors-that is, in
tiny glasses and very little at time

degree that suits his taste. 1t got its

them have been made insane and sent

Many others are in our hospitals in

DARLING AND PROCTOR.

Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Charles H. Darling, in connection
with whose selection for this import
ant office Senator Proctor took an i'm
portant part, is winning golden opin-
ions by the manner in which he is
discharging the duties that have come
to him. Secretary Moody, having
been absent from Washington for a
considerable period, Assistant Secre-
tary Darling was the acting head of
the department, and those who know
him in Vermont will not be surprised
to learn that he showed himself to be
fully qualified to meet every emerg-
ency which presented itself. With
the Vermont" standing for the type
of the largest and most powerful class
of battleships in the American navy,
with Admiral Dewey and Rear Adj
miral Clarke leading the list of our
naval heroes in active service, and
with Assistant Secretary Darling rec
ognized, as a sound adviser as well as
an efficient executive officer able to
handle the naval department, not to
mention other Vermonters in this
branch of the service, Vermont may
we'll feel that she is thoroughly rep
resented in our new navy as well as
in the military department, Senator

Recent reports received by the
government from trustworthy so URGE
in Colombia Indicate that the reluct-
ance displayed towards ratifying the
Panama canal treaty is based on the
desire OF the government at Bogota to
extort larger price from this coun-
try. These reports show that Cot
ombia is financially ruined as result
of her many revolutions and that
the $40, 10000 which the United
States offered in payment for the canal
privilege will be but drop in the
bucket as compared with the extensive
indebtedness of the country. Whether
the patience of this country will,
however, hold out much longer re-
mains to be seen. The Nicaraguan
and Costa Rican ministers are not
slow to perceive the situation, are
regular weekly callers at the State de-
partment and never fail to avail
themselves of an opportunity to pre-
sent the claims of their countries as
the most favorable for the construc-
ton of the canal. That this govern
ment will increase the price now
offered for the canal privileges is re.
garded as impossible.

1t appears that the outlook for get
ting men for the navy is brighter than
in the past. Since the close of the
Spanish war the enlistment officials
have found it difficult to find men
enough to keep the crews of the older
ships up to the required number and
to form crews for the new vessels GO
ing into commission. OF late there
are more young men willing to be-
come jack tars and the training sta.
tions have become so over crowded
that contagious diseases are prevalent
and recruiting has been suspended for
the present. All records were recent
ly broken at st. Louis where 165 re-
cruits were enlisted in six days. The
maximum strength of the navy al
lowed by law is 81, 900 and the present
enlistment force is within 2, 100 of
that number.
