The Stock Market Forecast.

The stock market, whatever may
be it's shortcomings, is invariably a
valuable guide to coming develop
ments. 1t has marked down the
value of securities rather drastical-
ly during the last two months. This
can be interpreted as warning
that trade will be adversely affect
ed by tariff uncertainties. Indeed,
more than one industry is already
slackening speed. Others will do
so during the next two months.
But securities may not continue
to decline BY the time depression
becomes visible to all, the strong
est interests will be accommodating
stocks, knowing that the time to
buy is when every one wants to sell.
Whatever damage tariff revision
does will be only temporary. ex-
cept, possibly, in one or two direc-
tons where the country has been
grossly imposed upon by home
manufacturers.
Among the industries-and as
consequence, the stocks-most
likely to be affected by tariff
changes are wool (notably the
American Wooden Company, cot
ton and miscellaneous dry goods,
sugar Gncluding beet). steel and
other metals. chemicals, rubber,
agricultural Gncluding CORN prod
ucts. leather, electric appliances,
paper, etc.
Chairman Underwood, of the
ways and means committee, last
fall figured out that the Demo-
cratic measures that had been pre-
sented would save some $3.50. 0O0,-
600 annually to consumers, wool.
cotton. metals, chemicals and sugar
being notable contributors.
Threats have been made during
the last few days by witnesses at
Washington that if this and the
next schedule be cut, WAGES will
have to be reduced Fortunately.
Underwood or some other member
OF the committee had usually the
sumption to inquire into the profits
of these calamity howlers, with the
result that the facts did not, as a
rule, justify the threats.

MORGAN HORSE NOTES.

The writer was born and has lived in
part of Vermont where once the Morgans
were about the only horses known. For
several years old Clifford was owned in
the town where we lived as was his most
famous son, Green Mountain Morgan.
Old Woodbury., (the best son of Justin,
the founder of the breed, was also
there for a time. My father never
tired of telling what a great show
Woodbury. and his son Clifford made at
the musters when ridden by the officers.
These horses, as well as Green Noun
tain and the Justin Morgan, were sent
for from far and near to be the riding
horses of the officers at the trainings.
At one of the great musters on the Fox
Meadow at Royalton Old Woodbury. was
ridden by one of the officers and
Blodgett's Gray Phoenix by another.
They greatly attracted the crowd. At
muster on the Mower Meadow at
Woodstock Old Woodbury. and the big
black Jersey Colt were ridden. The
latter's great size at first attracted at
tention but before night he had wilted.
OLD Woodbury., however, when the day
was over was at his best. This is one
of the valuable qualities of the Morgans;
the great lasting and staying quality
Not fast for the mile, but for an all
day drive or several they will use up
nnanv of the fast ones
A Morgan cross in the trotter is highly
priced as it gives pluck and courage.
1t also gives beauty and style which the
trotter should have. 1t should be the
aim Of the breeder to breed a handsome,
well-made animal. Nothing looks
better than a handsome horse excepting
a beautiful woman.
The market demand for larger or
faster horses than the Morgans stopped
the use of Morgan sires and so the
breed nearly died out. Had the Morgans
averaged fifteen and one-half hands and
ten hundred fifty pounds they would
always have been bred in large numbers
as no better class for general purposes
can be had.
Vermont is noted for raising great
men and great horses. If the origina
Morgan horse had been taken to Penn
sylvania, for example, instead of tC
Vermont it is doubtful if he would have
made the reputation he did in Vermont

MUCH WORK AHEAD.

The present Vermont Legislature
has made record. On January %. it
had been longer in session than any
previous Legislature. We read that a
member of the ways and means COM
mittee on the floor of the House Thurs
day morning urged that the House do
all in it's power to bring the session to
as speedy a termination as was con-
sistent. He stated that this was the
longest session on record, since the ses-
sion was then to the 81 day mark.
The session of 1910 cost about $145,
600 and the present one would cause
an equal expense. This is at cost OF
about 81 450 day. When the mem
bers reflect seriously they must admit
to themselves if to no one else that the
record of accomplishment is not bril-
liant. The important and far-reachine
measures, most of them, are still ir
the hands of committees. 1t will re
quire ten strike pretty soon tt
secure a record of achievement. -

Minds IS. OOO BAD EYEs.

New York. There are $4,000 bad
pairs of eyes porting over schoo.books
in this city, according to the report of a
specialist to the board of education,
made public. He estimated that so per
cent of these cases of defective vision
were absolutely ineXcusabe. In some
of the cases which he personally inves-
tigated he said he found children wear
ing glasses which We're twenty sizes
wrong, as the result of which their
vision was only about 20 per cent.
He recommended that the response
bility of examining all children for
mental, moral and physical defects be
vested solely in the department OF
education instead of being divided, as
at present, with the department OF
health.

BUILDING IS IT'S WORK.
Progressive Party Starts on Its
Task at Once.

Immediately after general election
which put few Progressive candidates
in high office, the national conference
of that newest of the parties has set
it at work with zeal and fine courage
upon broad program of constructive
legislation. Without waiting for another
test of public sentiment to bring power
and official preferment, the party which
polled 1000, 600 votes after a campaign
of about 100 days, has taken for its task
wide plan of reform in laws and adj
ministration and it is going to work at
once.
Strenuous efforts will be made to
force Progressive measures to the
front in congress and and in State legis-
lures. =. There will be far-reaching
campaign of education in all sections
of the country. Publicity and industry
will be relied upon to keep Progressive
policies in the foreground and center
the attention of the public upon the
program of the Progressive party for
more liberal and humane use of tt c
powers of government and for the up
lifting and betterment of the entire
nation.
This is fine spirit and it promises
great usefulness for the party which
is as progressive in fact as it is il
name. The service rendered will be
valuable from the beginning, and there
will be no supine waiting until the
changes which the future will bring

OUTPUT OF WATER FROM COAL
MINES GROWS STEADILY.

A calculation just completed shows
that in the year 1912 100, 900, 900 tons
Of water were pumped out of the
mines of the Lehigh Valley Coal COM
pany, about Is tons of water for every
ton of coal produced by the company.
This is somewhere near the average
proportion for all the companies operat-
ing in the anthracite region.
The output of water from the Penn
sylvania anthracite mines overlook
and passed long ago the output of coal,
but even the acutest mining men did
not forsee, twelve or fifteen years ago,
that the pumping problem would be as
serious as it now is.
The cost of pumping is one of the
most important elements in the in
creased cost of mining. As'the richer
and more accessible veins of coal have
been exhausted, shafts have been sunk
lower and the volume of water that has
to be pumped out has increased rapidly.
Pumps, some of them costing thirty
and forty thousand dollars each, have
had to be installed in chambers several
hundred feet beneath the surface,
while at some colleries the water is
hoisted through shaft in huge buckets.
In his latest annual report the Chief
of the Pennsylvania Department OF
Mines gives the number of pumps that
send water out of the anthracite mines
as 90l aud their total capacity as 929,
248 gallons a minute.
The pipes, of which there are thou
sands of miles in the mines, do moi
last long, because the sulphur in the
mine water eats into the iron anC
wears holes through it. This same
destructive quality prohibits the us,
of this water in the boilers that gener
ate steam at the coleries. The result
is that, when there is a drought, the
companies often have to haul water il
tank cars, from many miles away, a
the same time that they are pumping
thousands of tons of water out of tn,
mines Burlington News.
