Platform Promise Ignored.

The labor cost in the production of
cotton manufacturers in the United
States is 26 per cent. (From report
of Carroll d. Wright, U. S. Commits
sioner of Labor, Vol. 10.)
Granting that foreign goods have
nc labor cost whatever, 26 per cent.
would therefore, have been the maxi
mum average rate required to equal
ize the labor cost of production at
home and abroad. If the labor cost
abroad is one-half the labor cost at
home, the rate of tariff required to
prevent the foreign manufacturer
from having the advantage of cheaper
labor would be 26 per cent, the
American cost, less 13 per cent, the
European cost, or Is per cent. In
stead of an equalizing duty of any
sort, the Aldrich crowd protected cot
ton manufacturers with a duty of
from 35 per cent on handkerchiefs to
"A per cent. on cotton cloths.
The following table, compiled for
the writer by Prof Josiah II. Shinn
from the Special Census Reports for
Manufacturers, 1907, shows in a strik-
ing manner the failure of the Repub-
licans to revise the tariff on the basis
of equalization at home and abroad:

Promise of tariff revision on the ba

Railroad company of Vermont 1t is
alleged that the railroad company,
upon certain shipments of granite and
of coal, charged less than the rates
specified in the tariffs filed with the
commission. 1t is alleged further that
the defendant refunded a portion of
the legal rates and that E. R. Fletcher
knowingly received such portion of the
refunded rates. The commission orders
that the railroad company and E. R.
Fletcher be made defendants and that
full inquiry be made. The road is
about ten miles long.

$65,00O Fire Loss in Salisbury.

A fire loss of over S65, 900 was sus-
tanned in Salisbury Wednesday, May /,
in fire which started in the store of
Judge Frank C. Dyer and destroyed
that together with the Page feed store
and grist mill, new two story house
belonging to Mr.. Page, the Rutland
railroad depot and freight station and
two freight cars, filled with paper.
All the post-office fixtures, mail and
pouches, which were in the Dyer store,
were destroyed also. The fire was
discovered in the Dyer store at about
three o'clock by William Diamond,
clerk in the store, who was sleeping in
the building. He was awakened by
the smell of smoke and he thinks
also that he heard an explosion. AS
the post-office was located in the store,
it is possible that the place was being
robbed by burglars. The flames spread
with great rapidity, and as there was
ABSOLUTELY nothing with which to fight
the fire, the building was soon doomed.
From that the fire jumped to the
Page and Rutland railroad property
very quickly, and they were soon in
ruins, together with most of their
contents, as we'll as two freight cars,
which were placed on a siding.
Fewer Cases of tuberculosis.
DR.. H. d. Holton, secretary of the
state board of health, reports that the
state is in excellent condition, so far
as contagious diseases are concerned
and that no serious maladies were
prevailing anywhere.
Doctor Holton speaks in high terms
of the effectiveness of the tubercular
campaign, which is now being waged
in the state, and especially of the
exhibit, which terminated in Middle
bury Tuesday night. The exhibit has
been shown in Fl places. In each
place two lectures were given SO that
they numbered AZ in all. 1t is esti-
mated that between 10, 600 and 20, 900
attended. This is done on an ap-
preparation of $1,000 made by the
state. The campaign was also respon-
sible for the recent observance of
tuberculosis Sunday, which was general
throughout the state In the smaller
towns union services were held, which
were addressed by physician or some
other man well qualified to speak upon
the subject. The result of the work
is undeniably shown by the statistics,
which go to show that in the early '80s
the deaths by the disease numbered goo
annually and that now they have been
reduced to 425 notwithstanding the
increase in population.

Orchard Fruits in the Blue Ridge.


Virginia, and in fact most of the
States along the Blue Ridge Noun
tains have, of recent years, taken
wonderful strides in fruit growing.
Fruit growing in these regions, how
ever, is only slightly developed in
comparison with the possibilities
which exist in this direction. The
nsethods of orchard management are
commonly faulty and not productive
of the best results which the natural
advantages make possible. Notwith-
standing these conditions, large
quantities of excellent fruit, but prin-
cipally apples, are grown in some por-
tons of these regions.
Realizing the problem that many
orchardists will find confronting
them, the Department Of Agriculture
has published u bulletin entitled
"Orchard Fruits in the Piedmont and
Blue Ridge Regions Of Virginia and
the South Atlantic States" and while
the information supplied therein will
doubtless prove of value to prospec-
tite planters Of orchards, who al
rFady reside in these regions, It is
expected that its greatest usefulness
will be to those who are unfamiliar
with the conditions, but who may be
attracted TO these sections by the OPP
portunities which they offer for fruit
growing. The hints are also applica-
BILE to other sections made up of hill
and valley and where soil and other
natural conditions may be similar.
There appears to be no doubt but
that the success of fruit growing in
the Blue Ridge Mountains is due in
great part to the fact that the
orchards are planted on the sheltered
side Of the numerous knobs, which
dot the chain from end to end, and
thus in a measure protect the trees
from winter killing or hold back the
buds until all danger of spring frosts
has passed.-G. Z. NJ, in the Indiana
Farmer.
