THINKS HE WILL LIKE THE
,TEFFS.

Dear Sir:-I have just commenced
to read your paper, and think I will
like 1T as it seems to call things by
their right names. Will you please
send me two copies of December
23d? | will send them to some of
my Chicago friends, and may get
some subscribers for you
Will you inform me where I can
get book by Michael J. F. Mccarthy,
Priests and People in Ireland"?
Your article on Mr. Cutters open
letter is all true. I am a Scotch
man and know good deal of the
history of the times you write. Am
seventy-four years old, came to this
country in 1868. I will enclose some
stamps, and if you will kindly do
me this favor, I will be very thank
full. Yours very truly,
SAMUEL FORREST, SIR.

I wonder how you think [ could
afford to publish things of that kind
if [ could not prove them. [ have
bought their books; [ have examin-
ed carefully to see what. they mean.
II you would read the series of ar
ticles which have been appearing in
my Magazine, you would recognize
the conscietious fidelity with which
[ have sought for the true meaning
of those who are advocating this re-
voting creed, which is meant to ut
terly destroy existing institutions,
confscate all private property, and
bring upon mankind the curse of ra-.
cial equality and sexual promis-
Guilty.
You speak to me about not refer
ring to the national platform of the
Socialist party. Why should | do
that? That platform was made to
catch votes, just as the Republican
platform is shaped for that purpose,
and just as the Democratic platform
is framed for that purpose. Could /
prove from the national platform OF
the Democrats and the Republicans
that they are both the plant tools of

ANOTHER MAN WHOM THE So
CIALTSTS HAVE DECEIVED.

Dear Sir:-I was once one Of your
most ardent admirers. There was
time when [ would have walked
twenty-five miles to vote for you for
the Presidency. But, "alas, my
brother!" The giddy heights to
which your country men have ele-
waited you has turned your head; and
in all probability affected your heart.
Is it possible that the Scriptural
statement that "a gift destroyeth the
heart has been demonstrated
through you?
You may ask why my opinion of
you has undergone so great a change.
will tell you why. 1t is because
you are wilfully and knowingly de-
ceiving your readers; some of them,
at least. Your recent TRADES against
Socialism are put in evidence.
Gould there be anything more I'M
just, more unfair, more ungentle-
manly? Can you afford to oppose
thing that can not be suppressed ex-
cept by false accusation?' In all
arrangements and denunciations of
Socialism, did you refer a single
time to the National Platform of the
Socialist party? If you did it es-
caped my nOClce.
If Mr.. Ellis, whom the friends of
Foreign Missions wished to pit
against you, was unworthy of your
steel, how could you condescend to
enter the arena with Herr Bebel, an
obscure German, whose writings
must be translated into English, and
who is a rank stranger to ninety per
cent. of your readers?
Your methods against Socialism
seem to me to be beneath the dig
nifty of gentleman and a sch olar. I
may be mistaken, and hope I am, but
[ have about concluded that you are
writing for buncombe; to please the
rabble, and not as a statesman and
logician.
Alas, my brother! I am sorely
disappointed in you. But I still hold
you in high esteem, because you af-
ford fine exhibition of intellectual
attainment, and in that respect you
are giant among us.
Very truly yours,
l.. w. BEARD.
Ruston, La.
Answer.
Dear Mr.. Beard:-Ordinaril a
letter like yours would be laid aside
without further notice, for it proves
how very little you know about the
subject concerning which you CEN
sure me. Your reference to the fact
that you were once Populist, and
a supporter of mine, proves that you
were once in the right position and
that being SO, there is some slight
hope that you might be recalled from

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

the error Of your way, and made to
repent your departure from the do
mains of reason and common sense.
You say that Herr Bebel is IAN OBJ
scure German Now, my dear sir,
are in information on the subject of
Socialism. For more than twenty
years, Herr Bebel has been the Off
cial National leader of the German
Socialists. He is as well recognized
as their party leader in the German
Parliament as Mr.. Gladstone was
ever recognized as the leader of the
Liberals in the English Parliament:
he is now, and has been for a gen
GRAFTON, just as obediently followed,
and as admiringly acknowledged, as
the German leader, as Aldrich and
Cannon were recognized in the last
Congress as the acknowledged bosses
of the Republican party. At every
European Congress of Socialism,
Herr Bebel is held as their official
chief: his word goes: his commands
are obeyed: the plans that he maps
out are followed. His book, "Wo-
man Under Socialism" has run
through nearly forty editions, and
has been accepted in Europe and
America as the official word of So
cialism on the subject of Women,
Marriage and Private Property.
The international Socialist Re-
view, of Chicago, is committed to
the same doctrine as that laid down
in Bebels book The city dailies
and weeklies published in New York
and Chicago by the Socialists harp
on the same string continually.
You have simply allowed yourself
to be hoodwinked and deluded by
such publications as the Rip Saw and
the Appeal to Reason which, batting
their traps to catch ignorant coun-
try people and dissatisfied members
Of existing parties, have pretended
to preach what are recognized as
Populist principles. There isn't a
man who knows thing about So
cialism who doesn't concede that the
private ownership of single acre
of land is utterly at war with the So
cialist creed, and utterly incompati-
BILE with the new social order which
they advocate. There isn't any we'll
posted reader after those who are
representative Socialists of the big
cities, and of Europe, who do not
realize that they make bitter war up
on our marriage system, and upon
our religious ablishment.
You have simply gone astray, fol-
lowing these European fanatics, and
devouring those lies that the Appeal
to Reason has been publishing from
week to week in the effort to show
that Socialism really is about what
Populism used to be-and is now, as
far as that is concerned.

Answer.
If you will get Mommsen's His
tory of Rome and read his descrip-
ton of conditions existing immedi-
ately prior to the downfall of the
Roman Empire, you will find a start
ling similarity between said condi-
lions and those in which we now find
ourselves Under class legislation,
into the hands of a few: power had
also become consolidated: crimes
went unchecked and unpublished:
immortality was rampant: the rich
revelled in dissipation: the poor
looked to the public granaries for
their food Men became effeminate,
and women appeared to want to
change places with the men: the
State was corrupt, society was cor
rupt: the electorate was bought and
sold. The empire had stretched it's
boundaries until the heart was
weakening in the effort to send blood
to the extremities. The old stand
ards which made people respect in
dustry, honesty, virtue, sobriety, pa
triotism, had passed away, and had
been superseded by serviIity to
wealth and power While a few of
the great Roman families became
richer and richer, the millions of
the Roman people became more de-
PRAYED and desperate. immigration
from all parts of the known world
followed into Rome: the old Latin
stock was lost in miscellaneous mon
grelism. AS this process of race mix
ture went on, the Roman became
less and less of a man. He could no
longer bear the weight of the armor
that his forefathers had carried with
ease. He wanted amusement in the
arena, where wild animals fought
with each other, or with gladiators;
or where gladiators fought and slew
each other. From this public thea
ire, he wanted to go to debauch;
and then, after recovering from the
debauch, he would go to the theatre
again. Life to him meant pleasure;
duty no longer called to him, hon
orable ambition no longer inspired
him. If he could have a good time,
he was happy: the future could take
care of itself Consequently, the
heart of this great people gradually
rotted out; and the sceptre fell away
from hands that had become too en-
feebled to hold it.
You can look around you and see
to what extent our public affairs re-
semble those which I have briefly
referred to as being characteristic

SUMMER AND FALL

Top-Dressing and Seeding Down.
Many farmers are finding it to their
advantage to seed down during the
summer and fall, claiming that by so
doing they are apt to get much bet :
ter ''catch" than they do when they
follow the usual practice and seed
down in the spring.
The same is true regarding top
dressing grass land. Some of the
most progressive farmers put on top
dressing Immediately after haying,
with perhaps a small application of
nitrate of soda the following spring.
If you will send your name and P.
o. address to Carroll s. Page, Hyde
Park, VT, he will send you free, post
paid, several formulas for mixing fer
tilizers especially adapted to top
dressing and fall seeding, together
with prices of Ingredients, full direc-
tions for mixing, etc. These formula
have been approved by the Vernon
Experiment Station and will be founC
thoroughly reliable.

The Montpelier Journal of July
% said:
Estate Auditor H. F. Graham and
State Bank examiner F. c. Williams
went through the accounts of the
state treasurer and found most
gratifying situation. At the time of
the examination one year ago Mr..
Williams and Mr.. Hanley, the chief
clerk in the auditors Office, did not
agree as to the probable financial
condition of the state July /. 1910.
"Mr. Williams thought that there
would be more money in the treasury
available for the current expenses
July /, 1910, than July l, 1909. It was
agreed that the loser should furnish
dinner at Miller's Inn for the examin-
er, auditor, treasurer and the clerks.
1.-The examination showed that
there was 500, 24211 more available
July /, 1910, than there was July /,
1909,
1.-The amount available last year
was $109, 551. 85 against $205, 1913. 90 for
this next year. This shows $22, 900. AZ
more available for the next year than
there was in 1908 Notwithstanding the
extraordinary expenses of the past
year. There has been about $40, OOO
paid on the expenses for the. ventila-
tion work being done at the state
house which comes out of the expenses
of the past year, which, with the heavy
appropriations of the last Legislature,
makes the expenses of the past year
much larger than they usually are.
