The number of farms in Vermont in
creased from 29,763 in 1850 to 30,50l in
1860 and to 1882 in 1870.
II win be seen that farm values in
creased greatly in the two decades over
which the reciprocity experience Tapped,
and declined greatly thereafter. If it be
said that paper money imitation in 1880
70 explains the rise of farm values in
Vermont for that decade, how explain
the rise from 1850 to 1860, when there
was no paper money imitation? And
if the shrinkage in farm values from
1870 to $3.50 was due wholly to monetary
contraction, how explain the continued
shrinkage after 1880, when monetary
contraction had largely ceased!
But anyhow it is shown that Vermont
agriculture had no such experience under
the old reciprocity as is stated The
kilograms talk of blight" and "poy-
erty" from that cause is either the
working Of an uniformed fancy, or
something worse.-Springfeld Republi-
can.

Emmett the Best

L. A Trowbridge was in town
Tuesday visiting old friends. While
here he expressed the opinion that
the Emmett country was the best
that he had seen. For the past
six weeks Mr.. Trowbridge has been
travelling over the entire Northwest.
ard nowhere has he found condi-
tions so good as here. He says the
soil and climate of this country is
far ahead Of all others in Wash
ingtcn, Oregon and Idaho. Raw
land is selling in other parts
for from $500 to $500 per acre.
Emmett also has a great advantage
over other sections in soil and eli
matte conditions. Mr.. Trowbridge
was taken over the slope and bench
and he expressed great surprise and
admiration over the improving that

Senat01shipS.

Washington, Jan. THE resolu
ton proposing an amendment to the
constitution for the election of Unit
cd States senators by direct vote OF
the people will in all probability be
reported favorably from the senate
committee on judiciary on Monday
next.
The contest in the committee is to
be on the resolution of Senator De-
pew of New York, which gives the
federal government control over the
primaries. This will be vigorously
opposed by southern senators, who
assert that 1t embodles the principle
of the defunct force bill and that It
would give to the disfranchised negro
voter in the south the right of suf-
frage. The insurgent senator's, who
are also favorable to the original
resolution. will stand by their Demo-
cratic allies in opposition to the De-
pew amendment

PfARY SUBMITS HIS PROOFS
VIII Probably Be Retired With Rank
Of Rear Admiral.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Commander
Peary, the Arctic explorer, appeared
before a subcommittee of the house
committee on naval affairs this morn
ing to present proofs in substantial
tion Of his claim that he reached the
north pole. 1t is probable that the
subcommittee will recommend to the
full committee, which will concur
and recommend that Mr. Peary be
placed on the retired list Of the navy
with the rank and pay of rear ad.
miral of the staff.
Representative Bates of Pennsylva-
MIA. who is Peary's champion on the
naval committee, read to the commit
tee two letters received from the
Royal Geographical society of Lon
don, stating that the society's coun-
ell . has carefully examined Peary"s
records and has finally determined
by unanimous opinion that Peary
reached the north pole
The society gave Peary a gold
medal months ago on the sayso of
the National Geographical society OF
this country. but only recently COM
pleted an independent examination of
the Peary record for itself.

issued statement, in which he says
in part:
"The result of the senatorial cam
paign might lead my Dayton friends
to believe that / was never an impor-
tant quantity in the contest, but this
would be natural error due to the
lack Of knowledge of conditions as
they existed and changed from day
to day. The vote at the close was a
wild scramble TO Join the winner not
by reason of his own efforts or stand
ing but following an insidious but
positive and systematic plan of con
fidential friends and advisors of the
governor TO impress senators and
representatives that he desired the
success of the gentleman from Can.
ton. This commenced about 48 hours
before the caucus and marked the
beginning of radical breaking up of
my support. OF this. may have
more to say in the future
