WERENOT INDIFFERENT
VERMONT vorERs AWAKE TO
IMPORTANCE Of THE ELECTION.
Secretary Wilson believes Their Action
Indicates the Sentiment Of
New England.

Secretary Wilson of the Department OF
Agriculture returned to the city at 2:4O this
afternoon from his tour in Vermont ana
Maine He was met at the station by Act
ing secretary Willis Moore and together
they drove to. the department
The Impression that has gone abroad
that the voters of Vermont were Indifferent
about the election is erroneous" said Mr..
Wilson when seen by a Star reporter.
The fact is. the people of Vermont were
very much alive to the Importance of the
campaign. and the real issue on which their
votes were cast was that of its effect on
the presidential election next November.
The One Issue.
They had before them constantly the
idea that they We're voting either for or
against the administration. That. and not
any state question, was what determined
their votes =as
Their action was taken exactly as if they
had been voting for the national ticket.
The people of Vermont do not think 1t Is
a matter of Indifference who Is elected
next November. They are not luiled to
sleep with the idea that the democratic
party can do nothing, even II placed IN
power, because of. the way Congress is
constituted.
''They not only see danger for the con-
tinued prosperity of the country in the
electloH oI democratic PRESIDENT, out
they have their own Views on the question
of indorsing all that President Roosevelt
has done. They cast. their votes in order
to show that they approve his course. In
my Judgment their action may safely be
accepted as indicating the sentiment Of
New England toward the. administration
u did not see SO much of the state Of
Maine as l did of Vermont. but what did
see convinced me that the vote there will
be in line with the action Of the people OK
Vermont. The voters of Maine have before
them the same reasons for voting to slls-
tain the President and 1 have not the
least doubt that they will do so.
Il found the farmers of New England
we'll satisfied with the manner in which
the government is being conducted. They
realize that anything that tends to pro-
duce lack of confidence in the future
such as putting party in power that has
stood for policies in opposition to those
the country has followed in its times of
prosperity, Is hazardous in the extreme
They are fully alive to the situation that
now confronts them.
From my information I feel satisfied
that the sentiment that is SO general in the
New England states in which I have been
extends over the country. l look for an in
creaSing sentiment in favor of the repub-
lican party from now until November"

pHE IRON MARKET.
Action OF Beam and Plate Pools I'm
proves the Trade.

Z CLEVELAND, September S-Relative to
the condition of the iron market at large
the Iron Trade Review this week says: The
uncertainty that for weeks has been an
embargo on business in finished steel has
been broken by the action of the beam and
plate pools on Tuesday. On plates above
twenty-fou inches in width the reduction
Is "a ton or to 14Oc. Pittsburg. and on
narrow plates So q ton. Beams and chan
nels are reduced to 1.40c. Pittsburg, or the
lowest price that has prevailed in four
years. 1t is understood that arrangements
nave been made that will prevent the cut
ting of prices on fitted material that has
been much complained of by certain MEM
bers of the beam pool in connection with
contracts taken in the past few months.
The cooperation OF the Lackawanna Steel
Company Is understood to have been Sc
cured. at least to the extent of maintain
ing pool prices.
Another reduction of the week was in
wrought pipe, the leading interest taking
the initiative and the cuts running from
81 to 81 ton. Competition has increased
in this line. some of 1t fortified in steel
and pig iron. Under the REIMBURSEMENT mills
buying their own skelp have a very narrow
margin to work on.
Important business of the week can be
readily summarized. Rail buying amounted
with the leading producers to $4,000 tons of
standard sections, half of which Is for a
new line In the far west. Pittsburg notes
1000 ton plate order for vessel work and
a, 3OO0-ton inquiry for shapes for New
York elevator. The American Bridge Com
panys new business in August was be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 tons, considerable
Improvement upon July.
Foundry pig iron is quieter and somewhat
weaker. Southern production has decreased
because of the coal strike, and the end of
the latter may be long deferred. There is
rather more S9.2o southern iron but north
ern furnaces continue to take most of the
business. The starting up of steel cor
poration stacks continues and the week
brings the total to fifteen additions to the
active list in about a fortnight Foundry
operations do not show any distinct i'm
provement on the whole, but in some CEN
tiers more men are reported at work in ma
chine shops.
