The Lamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust Company of Hyde Park, OF
which ex-Gov. Carroll ). Page is presi-
dent, passed the million dollar mgrk in
assets on Thursday, July 18th.
This bank is Gov. Pages pet.
This bank is Gov. Pages pride.
This bank pays its depostsrs 4
This bank invests its funds Ill Yer
mont.
Here are four reasons why this bank
has prospered; why it has never lost a
dollar on a poor loan and why it is in a
position to he congratulated.
This Bank pays 80 compounded
semi-aunually on deposits of 500 oil
more, remaining in the bank one full
year.

A Word of Cheer.

The recent panic III New York dit |
fered from the panic in 1873 ia that II
WAS checked before there was any |
smash.up. except in the stock market
while in the former year the Jay Cooke
failure caused crash, and the raui'
was permitted to run its course. The
same is largely true of the panic ct 1881,
which was prrcipitated 10y the failure Il
Grant & " ard. That failure Mas fol-
lowed in quick succession 10y the col
lapse of the Metropolitan Bank and
other financial institutions, aud the
panic thus begun ran until lSS6. From
that time on there was gradual Iecov-
cry, aud the country enjoyed season
of prosperity. This was interrupted
somew hat 10y money stringency in 1871,
which developed into a currency famine
in 1893. when The banks all over the
country, with few exceptions, were com
pelled TO issue clearing house certiti-
Gates or certified checks. In 1898 dull
season set in, and continued for several
wears. but there was a direct cause for
it which was not hard to trace.
But the situation now is far different.
There is plenty of gold, aud the supply
is constantly increasing. There Is no
distrust at home or abroad as to our
monetary system. The governments
vaults are abundantly supplied with the
yellow metal, and there is no question
about the value of dollar. The banks
are strong. The railroads have greatly
improved their physical condition and
increased their equipment. This has
been done, too, in large part out of cur
rent earnings. The industrial and com
mercial business of the country Is pros
porous, and the farmers are better OF
than ever before in the history of tn,
nation. And they have just harvested
another fine crop. The general wealt!
of the country has enormously increased
and We are better than ever prepared t.
stand storm. Europeans think tina
we have overtraded, but there is 10 dis
trust abroad, if We may Judge by the eN
pressions of the foreign newspapers
which are advising their readers tina
this is the chance of lifetime to pur
chase American securities at bargain
prices. They have purchased in larg
blocks, and as consequence of on
trade balance abroad millions OF gol'
are now being imported.
There must be some recession i
business. The steady decline in tn
price of securities has long portende'
it. But we do not believe that ther
will be long period of business depres
sion. The fundamental conditions ar
too strong to warrant it. A moderat
recession is desirable, for it will reliev
the strain on our financial resource
and give the country a chance to tax
its breath before making another spur
There are plenty of turkeys and pie
for our forthcoming Thanksgivin
festival. Let us be of good cheer.

principally because the lsrmer l. not

facilities h-iug limited. There i a per
i,t-it demand Tor The commodity, vet
the producer cannot get To his market.
The farmer mus tap his tees and then
sugar his sap before selling it in its sugar
form To the Wholesale buyer. Unless his
market is very sure, he is not going to
sugar any more than il necessary.
Under existing conditions the sugar

aud put on the market. La this second
process it is diluted Ia form various
grades, which are sold At different prices.
Grad" 4 contains very fair percentage
of the real syrup; hut the third aud
fourth grades are a snare aud a deuSion.
In the West. where these inferior grad $.
are most largely sold, the taste OF the
consumer has been so perverted that
when he gets real maple syrup he thinks
it has been diluted with water.

, market aud stop diffusion. Egaporating
stations are to he placed all over Yer.

Dali DeWeese last week liberated
$4,000 brook trout in the reservoir Of
the DeWeese-Dye Ditch company at
the head of Grape Greek, making a to.
tai Of $50 600 trout Of all varieties
turned loose in its waters during the

ranged with one of the fish hatcheries
of the state for 100000 rainbow trout
which he expects to liberate in the res
ervoir before the close Of the summer.
He put 10000 trout in Grape Creek
below the dam recently and double
that number in it last year with view
Of converting it into fishing stream.
Some fine trout, few Of them twelve
inches in length. have been taken from
the reservoir during the last month or
six weeks and there seems to be no
doubt that it will afford some OF the
best fishing in the state within the
next few years.
