PRODUCTIONS OF orcn dS ~ 4 ,UUU
Sugar 4,648,00O lbs.
On a comparison of the productions
of Vermont with those of the other 25
States, it appears that we stand first
among the whole in the ratio of produc-
ton of potatoes, hay, sheep, wool, but
ter and cheese, second in the production
of sugar, and third in the No. of neat
cattle. 1t is obvious that we only need
railroad access to the metropolis Of
New-England, to secure a very great
increase in all the productions / have
enumerated, as well as the development
of sources Of wealth hitherto but slight
ly if at all productive.
As the projected railroad will run
through the Counties of Rutland and
Addison, let me compare these Counties
with the rest of the State in respect to
some of the statistics returned by the
Marshals in 1840-premising that these
Counties contain less than 90 per cent.
of the population, and but about II per
cent. of the territory Of the whole State.

Such are the disproportions in Rut-
land and Addison Counties, of some of
the most important productions of the
State, while at the same time they have
their just proportions in the productions
of wheat, rye, and corn. There were
no returns of the copperas and mangan-
ese of Rutland County, when capacity
of supplying these minerals is adequate
to the consumption of the world; while
the marble and lime of these counties
which will not now bear transportation
to market are absolutely inexhaustible.
1t is time that Vermont were awake
to the subject of railroads. 1t may well
enlist the most prudent and cautious
The time has passed when their expedi-
ency is to be discussed. 1t has ceased
to be an open question. The policy has
been adopted in the United States, and
railroads are multiplying in every d.
recton. Their distance annihilating
power has brought Buffalo nearer than
Middlebury to Boston. Vermont is driv-
en- to railroads in self-defense. If we
would retain our population we must
open channels to the markets that will
give our people advantages which they
can now enjoy only by emigration. The
increase of that emigration from 1880 to
1910, compared with the preceding ten
years, as shown by the diminished in
crease of our population is worthy the
most serious consideration. Thus, from
1920 TO 1880 our population advanced
from 235,764, to 28O,679, being an in
crease of Al 9l5, or little over 10 per
cent; while we had advanced, in 1910
to only 29l ,948 - being an increase of
but | ,269, or about 4 per cent!
Vermont has the elements of great
ness, though she is but small in popula-
ton and territorial extent. She is ca
pable of sustaining double her present
and she will one day have
that amount, if she is true to herself,
and the national government shall not
leave her industry unprotected.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The great importance Of the coming
election admonishes us to be up and
doing. We should have our forces
well orgnized, and armed with truth to
overcome the heresies and federalism
Of Clay and his friends. We look upon
the coming fall elections, as days of
more than ordinary interest to the .Non
roe Democracy.
You will, therefore, meet at the re-
spectve places of holding your cleo
tions in the several townships of the
county on
FRIDAY the e6M Of July
at one o'clock p. NJ. and proceed to
choose by ballot the men ofyour choice
as candidates on our county Ticket
1t is proposed that we determine the
claims of our several candidates for
county Offices by the popular vote, sim
liar to the plan pursued at our last 18th
and 9th of August la43 Conventions.
The manner of settling the claims Of
our candidates for Congress will differ
from last year. Each township in the
county is required to send TWO del
egates to represent them direct in the
Congressional District Convention with
such Instructions as may be the will
ofeach individual township. The time
and place ofholding the district conven-
ton is not yet determined but will be
announced in the Spirit of Democracy
as soon as ascertained. The county
convention will convene on
Saturday the S7M of July.
1t is proposed for the further organ.
