WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY.
why the People of Vermont should
DO Their Trading at Home.
H'rom the Brattleboro rhoenix)

(From the Brattleboro rhoeniX)
Only a few days ago many people In
Brattleboro and other parts of Vermont
received in their mail "a letter from one
of the great New York mail order houses
enclosing "A booklet descriptive of new
building recently erected 10y that concern.
This new building, which including the
clock tower stands IS stories high is
the largest steel reinforced concrete struc-
ture in the world. 1t is only one of several
large buildings occupied by this ndivid-
ual mail order firm, ana it shows in
emphatic style the scope of the mail
order house and the great growth of its
business.
If this house can afford to Law out hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in the con-
struction Of such a building as this in
addition to- paying big annual dividends
on all outstanding stock, a moments
reflection will convince anybody that
someone has to pay the bills. Where is
the money coming from that makes this
thing possible? 1t Is out of the pockets
of New York people, who draw all the
benefits, if there are any other than tax
alton. from the presence of such d house
in their midst?
This particular house is one of the big
Catalog concerns. There is a huge four
pound catalogue issued by this company
in thousands of Vermont homes. 1t Is
the mail order catalogue that has been
responsible for the increase in the bust
ness of this concern, and the people of
Vermont who have ordered material
from the concern have helped to pay for
this magnificent block, a distinct addition
TO New York city. and something that
gives Vermont nothing in return for it's
assistance
There are, roughly speaking, more than
10000 people in this State. Many of
them are well to do Many more are
fairly we'll off, and most all of them are
reasonably prosperous, compared to the
per capita wealth of other communities
Figuring that it costs each of the resi-
dents of this State an average of dollar
a day to provide themselves with the
necessities Of lfe--and this is low
aVerage-we find that $4,000 is spent
daily for necessities alone II everybody
who now makes it a pratice to send a
portion of his income to one of these big
mail order houses, would spend that
money in Vermont the amount of bust
ness transacted daily would be tremen-
dOusly increased.

THE PRESIDENCY.



An Iowa paper with a marked editorial
has reached the Times office The ed-
tofial says There is decided senti-
ment that the winning candidate for the
next republican national convention, will
be protectionist and for all American
commodities, whether the farm or fac
tory. A strong republican Of the school

mated. Will be triumphantly elected
prosperity again restored throughout
the land, as in the days Of Mckinley II
the convention wisely acts. there will be
a protectionist nominated. one who will
not stand for any side-steppng on the
question, then victory for the Republican
party is assured. What the country de-
mands is another Mckinley to change
failure and dependency which now
exists, to cheerfuness and business sue
cess, and all sensible men are hoping for
such coming" Those who have been
preaching that protection is dead issue
are invited TO take notice.

tifc education The fund now APP
proaches half million dollars. Various
questions have been raised from time to
time as to the exact range Of the term
'scientlfic education" but the trustees
in interpreting have each time had in
mind the founders career and have
decided If not in so many words, at
least practically, that it meant such an
education as would fit n man to tako

dustrial development of such a continent
as South America,

RAISE CATTLE.

C-----1 the Springfield Reporter)
If the state of Vermont would pay
the farmer enough TO raise a steer until
it reaches the age of two years. and do it
in a way that would keep the boys and
girls on the Vermont farms, there would
be started the greatest industry this
state ever knew. With our vacant land
sowed to oats and then covered with
grass, there would be feed for the grow
ing cattle and money for the boys and
girls which would be spent around home.
If our memory serves us right New Eng
land farmers raised the beef that sup
piled the northern army in the Civil
War. Prosperity knocks at our very
door in the development of the cattle
industry. and If some way could be de-
vised to stimulate the boys and girls
to raise cattle Vermont would never
know again what hard times are Tho
State Of Vermont faces a great oppor-
tunty to have cattle on thousand hills
