t of his slender means, as afterward in New York, he always found some surplus to send to the struggling family in the Pennsylvania wilderness. It is interesting here to note that from the town of Poultney, Vt., came George Jones, who gave Henry J. Raymond his chief financial assistance in founding the New York Times, and long survived both Greeley and Raymond as controlling owner of the Times. Horace's experience in East Poultney was of the greatest educational value to him. There he firstRaymond as controlling owner of the Times. Horace's experience in East Poultney was of the greatest educational value to him. There he first had access to a public library. He soon joined a debating club, of which the leading citizens of the town were members, and, without changing his working clothes or attempting oratory, he won a reputation as a cogent reasoner, and a speaker who was always sure of his facts. As there were only two or three workmen employed in the office, he had experience, not only in setting type, but in blistering his hands and laming his back assisting in running off the edition on an old-fashioned hand-pr

Raymond, in later years the founder of the Tribune's chief local competitor, the Times, and an antagonist in views social and political. Greeley has said that RaymoRaymond showed more versatility and ability in journalism than any man of his age whom he ever met, and that he was the only one of his assistants with whom he had to remonstrate for doing more work than any human brain and frame could be expected long to endure. Young editors who grow discouraged under criticisms of their first workencouragement in contrasting this praise of Raymond's practised labor with the following description by Greeley of his first attempts (given in a private letter): Raymond is a good fellow, but utterly destitute of experience. . . .

Henry J. Raymond wrote to R. W. Griswold in 1841: Greeley got himself into a scrape by connecting himself wito a discussion of Fourierism, and its articles were written by Greeley's former assistant, Henry J.
