TO BOOST VERMONT.
Extend Influence of State by Ad.
vancing It's Interests at Home.
From the Providence Journal

From the Providence Journal.
A movement which promises to become
of much Importance has been started by
a group of influential citizens in Vermont
TO increase the enterprise and prosperity
OF the Green Mountain state. The purpose
of the Greater Vermont Association is to
encourage certain classes of manufac-
turers, improve agricultural conditions
and product. aid IN finding markets, in
duce high-class immigration and increase
summer tourist patronage.
There has been an impression. voiced
from time TO time with unjust emphasis
by some of the yellow journals. that
Vermont was not keeping pace with the
of the nation. This condition, so far as
it really exists arises from the rather
marked exception which Vermont presents
TO the tendency toward industrial devel-
opment long in progress in all the other
eastern states and of late In most all of
the states OF the Union.
Vermont affords very interesting illus
tration OF the influence of environment
upon population. The state was settled
principally by natives Of Connecticut and
Massachusetts, and although the former
state was the pioneer in American manu-
features and the sons of Connecticut have
become famous throughout the world as
the embodiment OF Yankee ingenuity.
their blood relations In Vermont have not
developed these characteristics in agrees
sive fashion. There has been, 1t Is true,
modest proportion OF manufacturers in
the state in some instances very success
full, but the growth Of industrial opera
tons In Vermont has been slow. Indeed.
al the last census tina value Of products
of Vermont shops and factories showed
an increase OF but per cent in five
years tho smallest increase shown for
any state In the Union This figure COM
pares with a national increase Of nearly
40 per cent.
Experience seems to indicate that 1t
would be waste Of energy and perhaps
of capital to endeavor to increase textile
or similar classes OF industrial enterprise
In a state which has never taken kindly
10 manufacturing in general The water
power Of the state should, Of course, be
conserved and utilized and to that ex
tent manufactures of the specialized and
ingenious sort could be profitably en-
couraged The returns OF the last indus
trial census reveal the interesting fact
that almost half OF the entire power gen
Grated In the state was secured from
water wheels. Maine alone among the
states exceeded Vermont In the proportion
of waterpower utilized for industrial pur
poses. When this natural advantage has
been properly exploited and utilised Yer
mont should advance the value of manu-
featured products from a meagre-S per
cent to a figure indicating more normal
growth.

Butcher Shop Colors.
From the London Chronicle

From the london Chronicle.
The butchers shop is certainly in every
sense "a beastly sight," but no one with
an eye for color can say that 1t is not
beautiful. Especially the mutton. Its
colors are tenderer than those of beef
And on an evening of gentle London
dusk, in a sparsely lighted street, a
butchers shop. softly illuminated within
and we'll stocked with mutton, is very
lovely. Strange is custom that makes
us look with indifference at what is skin
ned and should be more dreadful. where

shop at Christmas, with his decorous skin

sight Is exceedingly painful.

weakness of the movement.
The democrats met in Baltimore the

platform was adopted without the change
of word. and Greeley and Brown were
indcrsrd and nominated as the regular
democratic candidates. Thomas F.. Bay
ard Of Delaware and Daniel w. Voorhees,
OF Indiana voiced a feeble but vain pro-
test The politicians believed that it was
the golden opportunity to kill the repub-
lican organization. and they seized it. Be
sides, the southerners were grateful to
Greeley for having signed the bond of
Jefferson Davis.
Horace Greeley formally accepted the
democratic nomination. Greeley, who
hated jackson. despised Van Buren,.

an suffragist, Horace Greeley was the
candidate of the democratic party for

Union remembered the bitter things
Greeley had said of them. The repub-
1ican orators helped them to remember
that Greeley had said: "All democrats
may not be horse thieves. but all horse
thieves are democrats" They did not re-
member to vote in November.
Gen. Grant was renominated at Phila-
delphia in June, with Henry Wilson of
Massachusetts as running mate. A cry
was sent up for the "Galena tanner and
the Natick cobbler,' and the magnificent
organization of the republican party stood
to the ticket. never for a moment doubt

unable to keep control OF his own news

ministration? Would Greeley. who was
the dupe of every sharper who got to
him, be any better than Grant in select
ing his advisers? What was his financial
policy? The business interests of the
country. partly affected by the fear Of
Greeley administration and partly angry
because Greeley was attacking Wall
street financial methods, rose UP for
Grant. Money went into the campaign as
1t had never gone before. The October
elections correctly forecast the result
