DISTKIUUTE THE INDOSTKIKS.
Tho Rutland Board of Trade, as if it
hna llitln nlsn tn da llian to induco all
the manufacturine coucerns in that
county to "pull up stakes" and move to
the Marble Citv. have lately tried their
nerauasion on the Rinlev Broa. of Poult
ney, nearly the only large concern left
in tbat town. They took away from
Poultney the Stoddard Manufacturing
Company, and from Mechanicavillo the
ChaseToy Works. The latter action
eventually converts that thrivingsuburb
into a deserted village. We give tho ar
gument of the Journal, first saying that
the Qrays of Middletown have refused
to acoedo to the centralizing echeme of
the ambitioUB Vermont mettopolis.
says : "But our Rutland friends would
do well to understand a doctnne
nolitical economv that the crowth of
town cannot be enforced. Suppoao all
of the people of this county, nttracted
by the splendors of a big town, should
pull up stakes and move to Rutland
The reault would be to ruin the whole
Rutland as it now ia draws much of its
Buatenance from towna outside in the
countv. natarallv.leeitimately and prop-
erlv: and the more nrosnerous they all
are in their agriculture, and in all Ibeir
industries, the more tho outside towns
will benefit Rutland in a business point
of view. There is no doubt of the eolid
itv of this propoailion. If those back
towns which have the 'deeerted farras'
could resuacitate those farms, and create
mechanical and manufacturing business
tberein, which has become a neceBsity
for pro8perlty in these modern timoa in
any town. Rutland would get the bene
flt of it, and tbe natural impulse would
riromote the crowth of Rutland and
every town in Rutland county. The
theorv is all wrone as applied to pur-
peses of growtb, that if a apark of enter
Eriee is diacovered in Mt. Ilolly.Shrews

theory tor tbe proaperlty oi tne wuoio ia,

AN EMPII&TIC WARNINO TO 1NVEST-S
ORS.
We have never advocated tho invest
mentof the hard-earned eavinga of East
ern workingmen and women in.Western
farm mortgages. On the contrary we
bave discountenauced such uncertain In
veatments and recent events prove be
yond sbadow of a doubt that much
safer loans could be made nearer homo.
The Kansas Farmtrs' Loan andTruat
Company which was organized somo
years since with an alleged capital of
halt a mlllion dollars, and which now
has oyer 13,000,000 out in mortgages on
farms in Kansas, NebraBka, Dakoia and
Colorado has collapsed, and with it tbe
means ot living of several bundred in
vestors ecattered thrnughout New Eog
land, wbo, by advice of uavings banks
offlcials, wbo were considered ehrewd
business men, bad inveated their money
in these mortgages. Thia collapae will
drag other companies of a like nature
with it, and tbe eavings banks of Maine,
New Ilampshire and Vermont have atar
Idg them in the face thoproblemof how
to weatber the threatening cylclone.
This company wbich has gone up owes
$300,000 in debts demanding immediate
settlement, and lacked $299,000 cash to
ettle. The cbfef Inspector reports that
most of the mortgaged farm property Ib
worthless. that many boomera bad de
serted their farms and the bulldlngs were
vacant or in ruina. Tbe weslern agents
had accepted everythiug from which
they could rake in their two per cent.
commisaion and bad made every possi
ble efTort to gather cash enough to meet
icterest on bonda duo this week, but
faiied. The etock bolders in this com
pany are liable undcr State laws for 100
per cent. assesments, wnicu can oe coi
Iected by levy on property. The meaaage
sent to tbe Boston ofllce by an olllcial in
Kansas reyeals the diagracef ul Btate ot
affairs exiating in tbis crack investment
company. "For God's sake husband
every resource and eecure all the money
possible from the ealo of debentures to
meet the October coupons." We hope
it wiil eerve as a salutary lesson to thi
tbouaands of small investors in the East
who are so eairer to secure laree interest
