Answering the Bennington Banner of
Wednesday, May 81, it may be truth
fully stated that there are many men
IN Vermont, who have connection in
one way and another with the rail-
roads, and at the same time are en-
thusiastic for the nomination of Prouty
to the governorship. But lin every
instance these men have allowed their
minds to expand beyond corporate in
serests and ambitions. They are men
who hope for continuation of prog
ress in Vermont, continuation of an
administration that was not fettered,
bound and gagged in any way, or by any.

that the people may become ac-
quainted with it's injustice. l wish
the people to understand that have
no intention to trifle in this matter,
and if there is any person stealthily
violating this law on the supposition
that l do not mean what l say, he
will learn to his sorrow that am
in earnest and have all the pluck
necessary to punish to the full extent
of the law. If any person imagines
that they can close up one day and
open up the next, they will speedily
discover their mistake. If they en-
terrain the opinion that beer is not
beer when it is called malt-or is
sold as a soft drink, they will learn
in the school of experience that it is
impossible to evade the law-one of
the very strongest that any state
has ever adopted.
There is just one safe course for
any such person to pursue in this
matter, and that is for you to stop
this matter absolutely, at once-and
never resume it. Do not think for
a moment that jury will not con-
vict you in Mercer county. Just
remember that your case may be
tried somewhere else You will dis
cover when you are in the clutches
of the law that you are in greater
danger than you supposed, and you
will learn some provisions of the law
that will surprise you.
Let us all do our full duty as good
citizens, upholding the law in the
letter, and in the spirit. But If there
be any who refuse to obey the law,
then let every citizen who is interest
ed in good government, fearlessly
furnish any evidence that they may
have in order that the offenders may
be properly punished.
We understand that the sheriff of
Mercer county has notified every per-
son under suspicion that all illegal
from this on, if we getetaoinzfifiig
business must be stopped. And
from this on, if we get evidence
against any person who is engaged
in the business, we shall consider his
act a challenge for us to proceed
against him.
Personally, I am of the opinion
that the law has been as well oh.
served here as in most sections of
the state, for we have, in the main,
class of people who are peaceable
and law-abiding. But 1 would like
to see this county leading all Others
in the enforcement of this law.

MARKETS

Chicago, Mar. 25-The announce
ment from Argentine to the Chicago
Board of Trade that in Buenos Ayres
the grain exchange this week inaug-
urated system modelled after that
of the United States, including the
buying and selling of grain and seeds
for future delivery, promises greater
stability in the worlds markets. This
new departure has the sanction of the
government, merchants, shippers and
producers, all evidently believing it
essential to the best interests of that
growing country. What that country
most needs now is elevator and stor-
age capacity, something very likely
to follow the enlargement of her ex-
change dealings from a really cash to
future market The sudden outpour-
ing of her enormous crop, beginning
early in January, smashing prices sud-
denly the world over, was due to her
| inability to store the grain and sell
it for future delivery She was alb
solutely forced to sell because of the
lack of these two essentials. The crop
will hereafter be more largely sold as
required, for immediate or future de-
livery, which will put an end to an
nual bargain prices" offered in Eu-
ropean markets by Argentine because
of an inability to hold back what was
not Immediately needed by consum-
ing countries.
