That certainly is a live question as we'll
ms question of living for the little
ones. There are several possible an
swers. Ono of these has already been
indicated In the dissatisfaction Of dairy
men with the way in which they have
been treated by tho milk companies con-
trolling the situation in Boston. Evil
dences OF this were discovered In con-
nection with the meetings held In Bur-
lington and elsewhere in Vermont be-
tween dairymen and representatives Of
the Boston Chamber OF Commerce
Another answer is that many farmers
are finding 1t more profitable to convert
their milk into butter than to send 1t to
Boston. They secure good prices, and
they have the separated milk to feed
upon the farm, thus helping to ensure the
continued fertility Of their soil.
The answer at which the managers OF
political campaigns are aiming, however,
we suspect to be the freer admission OF
milk from Canada under the democratic
tariff. This cause undoubtedly influences
the situation. but It certainly is not
forcing down the price OF milk.
Burlington consumers OF milk are now
paying eight cents q quart and the
consuming public in Boston Is pro-
testing against the exorbitant retail
prices charged for this necessity. II the
Canadian milk ought to force down
prices, but It does not On the contrary

TURN SOVEREIGNS INTO EAGLES.
CFrom the New York Times,


crew Of grimy-faced worknen in the
United States assay office near the
corner of Wall and Broad streets will
finish some time tonight the task Of
converting more than 10000 shiny gold
sovereigns, each beautifully minted. into
rough bricks, smudged with charcoal
SCOT
The bricks will stand on wooden trucks
until they have cooled off to the ham
ding stage. when they will be trunded
across the room and put into Uncle SANS
vaults. Washington in a few days will
direct that some bricks pe shipped to
Philadelphia. The mint in that city will
put them back into the melting pots, add
little more alloy, and turn them into
shiny coins again. at a considerable ex-
pense. But this time they will become
United States coins.
The new coins, as likely as not will
come back to New York, this time to
stop in the sub-treasury, which is next
door to the assay office When the war
is over and Europe has begun to regain
the ascendency in overseas trade that
she lost with the first month of hos
tilities the time will come when gold
must go to London or to Paris to re-
store the balance of credits again.
Thereupon, Lazard Freres, or Goldman,
Sachs or, perhaps ]. p. Morgan & Co.
Will deposit several millions in gold GER
titicates at the sub-treasury. withdraw
the gold coins, and ship them in little
oaken kegs to the other side. There they
may be kept intact in the Bank of Eng
land, or If there is need of more gold
for coinage than is coming from South
Africa, they will be thrown into the
furnaces to be turned back into bricks.
1t is a waste that no one excuses, but
which efforts to avoid have not over.
