FOR THE MASSACHUSETTS SPY.


Notwithstanding my aversion to the efforts
at caucus domination, which have sometimes
been made, where nd;z idual merit has tuU oft
en- been sacrificed to the advancement of the
unworthy, and the independent expression of
opinion by electors made to give place to an
irresponsible dictation by the busting and busy
minions of party, | am glad to see a meeting
of the liberal minded citizens of this county
called on this evening for the purpose of select
ing candidates for the offices to be filled by the
approaching election of the people. The call
in the first place, is upon all the friends of the
present State Administration, which must in
clude most of the high minded and independent
electors OF the County, whose voice cannot be
disregarded upon the subject, and who are cal
ed upon to lay aside, as they have with great
magnanimity done for the last few years, the
obsolete distinctions of party names, and to Sc
lect the best men from the great body of the
people. If, therefore, the people will be Just to
themselves, they may, by complying with the
call, counteract any improper influence or con-
troll in the selection of their candidates, and
make the nominations what they should ever
be, the free, unbiased expression of confidence
and recommendation on the part of those whose
opportunities have enabled them to Judge of the
merits and qualifications of those who are to
be presented to the electors for their suffrares
There is still stronger reason existing at
the present time for an attendance at the pro.
posed meeting. Two of the present Senators
from this county, Messrs. DAVIS and BowMAN.
have declined being again candidates, and their
places, at least, are to be supplied by new nom.
nations. NO PARTIZAN.

These are but moderate portion of the art-
sles which are in abundance in the county of
Worcester, and, upon railroad, might be
brought to market at less cost than from al
most any other place; but, in consequence of
the cost of transportation, they are entirely ex-
cluded, and are now supplied in part from the
State of Maine, the State of New Hampshire
about Portsmouth, the State of Rhode Island,
the State of New Jersey, and the State of New
York. Potatoes are also supplied from Nova
Scotia in large quantities. Now, would it not be
benefit for the farmers in the county of Wor-
cester to be placed upon an equal footing in re-
lation to a market, with the farmers of those
several places' And would any farmer, how
ever near the market, have any inducement to
exclude the farmers of his own State, for the
benefit of those of other States 1t is alto
gether mistaken view of things to suppose
the opening of the railroad would reduce the
price The greater the market the better the
market. This may be proved by comparison
Of all the markets in this country and in Europe.

market, all farmers would meet in the market
on equal terms. But, if two men carry each
ton OF hay to market, one costs four dollars and
the other ten dollars for transportation sup
pose the hay to bring sixteen dollars per ton,
one will get twelve dollars and the other six for
his ton of hay. Now, supposing the cost of
making the hay to be equal to the cost of grow
ing it, one will get six dollars for making and
the other three dollars; one will get six dol
lars for the cultivation and use of his land, and
the other will get three dollars. This calcula-
ton will shew that these two farmers cannot
compete in the same market; one will make
money, while the other will fail
Now for matter of fact In six months of
the year 1927, six hundred and thirty-three
tons of hay, brought from Ipswich, Essex, and
Hamilton, in the county of Essex, was weighed
in Boston market, and sold for an average of
sixteen dollars per ton, amounting to $l0l29
The cost of freight, being Is to 90 miles, was
about four dollars per ton, amounting to $2532,
leaving net sale of $7596. Suppose two tons
to an acre, which Worcester farmer will not
think extravagant, it would require 3l6k acres
| mot very large Worcester farm) to produce
this quantity of hay. Then suppose the net
proceeds, giving half to the hay maker and the
other half to the grower, one would get three
thousand se0en hundred and ninety-eight DOL
lars for his labor, and the other the same sum
for the use of his land and cultivation both
pretty well paid yet sixteen dollars is less than
| an average price of hay in Boston market. The
| freight of hay from Kennebec and Penobscot
rivers, in the State of Maine, is from $3,50 to
81 per ton, about the same as 16 to 20 miles
land carriage. The farmers on those rivers,
therefore, can compete with the farmers near
Boston, although the farmers in the county OF
Worcester are entirely excluded. Hay is but a
small item in the number of articles of growth
and product of the county of Worcester, to
which they are equally excluded.
| The city of Boston consumes annually about
Four thousand FIVE hundred tons of

The correspondence between President Ad-
ans and H. G. Otis and others has been re-
published in pamphlet at Washington, with
several additional papers, among which is a
singular letter from VIM Plumer, formerly
Senator in Congress, and Governor of New
Hampshire, in which he declares that project
to establish separate government in the north
ern section of the Union was entertained in
1904, that he was himself privy to it, and
approved of it, and wrote several confidential
letters to few of his friends, recommending
the measure. He also says that arrangements
were made to have meeting in the fall OF
1904 to recommend the measures necessary for
establishing separate government, but that
the meeting was prevented by the death of
Gen. Hamilton! We have no room for further
notice Of the subject this week.

REVOLUTIONARY PENSIONS. A most important
bill in amendment of the revolutionary pension
act passed the House of Representatives on the
25th of February. We are not acquainted with
the precise details of it, but understand, gener-
ally, that it extends the provisions of that act
to many persons, equally meritorious with those
who have heretofore partaken of its bounty but
who, nevertheless, were excluded. Among these
are troops of the State line and the militia.
The bill passed by majority of Ill against 81,
all the members from this State, who voted,
being in the affirmative. Among the advocates
of the bill we find the names of Davis from
Worcester South, and Bates of Hampden, Dis
tricts. Our private accounts from Washington
express a fear that the bill will be lost in the
Senate.

A correspondent has requested US, in consd-
Grafton of having published the proceedings of
the anti-masonic meeting in Westboro', to also
publish the opinion entertained by Gen. Wash
ington of the masonic institution, as contained
in reply of his to an address Of King David s
Lodge in Newport, (R. ~ While we comply
with this request, we wish it to be distinctly
understood, that this is a controversy in which
we do not intend to engage. The proceedings
of public meetings we always publish, when
requested, as being part of The news of the
day, and of the history of the times But there
are other and more appropriate mediums for a
controversy of this character, than the columns
of an ordinary newspaper; and, although we
may have an opinion of our own on the subject,
yet it is fountain of bitter waters, in which
we do not wish to dabble. The following is
the extract alluded to:
" Being persuaded that just application of
the principles on which the masonic fraternity
is founded, must be promotive of private virtue
and public prosperity, shall always be happy
to advance the interests of the society, and to
be considered by them deserving brother"
