this reason. and there were but two
starters in the free for-al and three IN
the $50 trot. for both Of which races Il
$1,000 purse was offered. Among horse
men the reason given for this is that
Lon" Mcdonald of Port Henry had en-
tered the best of his string here, and
although he did not come, tine fear that
he would do SO, kept the owners of slow
or horses away.
Both races we're warmly contested.
There was a hot contest between Gray
don and jennie Scott in the 800 trot,
the former winning.
The most exciting race of the week,
however WAS the FREQ orall which tx

BRIGHAM TO THE FARMERS.
Says They Can Check the Power of
Trusts and UniOnS-TNO Races
at the state Fair.

Rutland, Sept. ia crowd varously
estima ted by the officials from 5000 to ScGJ
or 10000 attended the third day of the
Vermont State and Rutland county joint
fair to-day. The special feature of the
day was an address by J. II. Brigham of
Washington, d. c.. assistant secretary of
agriculture, in which he urged the farm
ers to organize and touched upon the
trusts and labor unions. He spoke of tn"
Importance of the agricultural interests
of New England and said the States
should appropriate money. to aid the state
fairs and get rid of the fakir features
of the meeting.
He spoke of the power of organizations.
remarking we have great corporations
called trusts. I have no intention of ON
tering upon a TRADE against them. They
arc here to stay. There may be abuses
in the trusts that need remedy wing. ! know
of no power strong enough to check them
unless it is the grand army of farmers.
We farmers can say: "Thus far shalt
thou go and no further" and they will
heed for they recognize the mighty power
of the farmers.
We also have organizations of labor
called unions. Now it is proper for man
to try to get good price for his days
work but unions are going too far when
they reach a point when they interfere
with the freedom of industry. When a
man cannot work for whom he chooses
we have lost the freedom which cost 50
rouch blood and treasure, 1t is your duty
to interfere when they go beyond proper
bounds. They can never do this for any
length of time unless they have public
sentiment back of them. Many of the
members do not sanction the things that
are done yet lack the power or courage
TO stop them. 1t is the duty Of the farm
ers to guide public opinion. If the farm
ers will do their duty the unions will
never have the power to deprive us of our
freedom and liberty.
