DIR RAILROAD

Mr.. Gilbert, with his party Of Engineers
has nearly completed The locating survey
from Burlington TO this place. We have ex-
amined the Maps and Profiles Of the located
line from Burlington 10 Mddlebury (33miIes

RICHNESS Of line, case of curves and grades,
an cost oil construction: as good line as can
be found in New England. Mr.. Gilbert as
sures Us that the line from Middlebury TO this
place is equally good with that north Of
Middlebury: making 65 consecutive miles OF
cheaper r. ad than any line OF the same
length in New England. The result Of the
locating survey so far, is highly gratifying TO
the friends oil the project, as il has establish
ed the fact that our Road can be built cheap
er even than Mr.. Gilbert first estimated. We
are now assured that the whole % miles from
Burlington TO Rutland can be graded. inclu-
ding masonry and bridging, for $500, 900. As
soon as the surveys are completed TO this
place, aud the pro6les and estimates are made
up. 1t is the intention Of the building conf
mit:ee to advertise portions Of the Road for
contract. Already proposals have been re-
ceived from responsible contractors for gra-
ding portions Of the Road upon highly advan-
tageous terms for the company.
The Locating survey has ascertained the
feasibility of new lines that will better ac-
commodate some Of the towns on the line,
more particularly throu sh the town of Pitts
ford.
In the mean time the shareholders arc re-
spending 10 the assessment with the hear
" good will which shows them in earues,
in the matter, and which is the best guaran-
zee to the Directors for vigorous rrosecu
ton of the work. In several Of the tow rs the
assessment has been paid on erery share,
and in the Others it is nearly paid. The
shareholders have disappointed themselves
even, IN the promptitudc with which they have
respcn led TO the call of The Directors.

Road has AT length satisfied himself tina, the
Rutland Road is facenty miles shorter than
any other route from Boston 10 burlington.

Iron WoRKs-REDucTIoS OF WAGES
A reduction of The prices Of labor is one oil
the inevitable effects Of the repeal Of the A.
merican Tariff Act Of 1912 and of the subs:i-
tuition therefor of Mr.. McKay's British Tar
if Bill. The latter Bill deliberately takes
away the sure protection 10 American labor
which the Act Of 1912 had SO happily and
wisely raised around It: and the hard handed
10 lu stry Of our country is left to sustain itself
as it can, against the competition Of the half
fed labor of Europe. Although the British
Bill does not go into operation until the FIRST
of December next, it has already materially
affected the value Of various articles. Among
the most prominent Of these is Iron.
We learn that Eastern manufacturers, who
have heretofore been extensive buyers in this
market ofPig Iron at $50 to $50 per Ton. are
now offering but $25 for the same article. No
definite price, it is true has as Sc, been agreed
upon, but it is clear that material reduction
must he submitted to. We further learn that

Third-Party Bigotry

By late Freeman we see that the inquisi-
tors of the Third party are clamoring Justify
against the late Vermont Convention Of
Congregationalist Ministers. for their resolu
lions against slavery. They are not suffi-
cieutly prosecuting TO answer their VOWS.
These resolutions denounce the bloody
monster with sufficient vehemence. But
alas, say they, they do not declare that the
STAKEHOLDER, as matter Of course, is sinner
for whom nothing by the way Of excuse or pal
iation can be pleaded. He is worthy of
nothing but stripes and accommodation
from christian fellowship. This sentiment
is truly characteristic Of the most intolerant
party that has ever existed in the Union.
That the institution of slavery is a sin which
cries to heaven for vengeance, every consci
entious man will most freely acknowledge.
But it is far from being true that to continue
the relation of master and slave in which an
individual! may be Involuntary involved is
per Sc, Gin, which no circumstances can al
leviate. Nothing is more fully authorized
by the dictates OF common sense, than that
every question of right and wrong is to be de-
cided BY the circumstances which b,ar upon
it. For citizen 10 free State to reduce a
man to slavery, would be heinous sin
For a STAKEHOLDER 10 barter in human flesh
would be equally wicked. Butin slave
States. into whose institutions slavery has al
ready been incorporated, and where the
laws bind the master to support the slave and
absolutely forbid emancipation unless the
slave is transferred ont of the State. who will
be so bigoted as 10 pronounce it sin to con-
tinue the relations Of master and slave! The
law in this case is an outrage upon human
rights, but it cannot be resisted, and if so the
guilt Of slavery rests upon the State and not
upon the stakeholder, who is compelled to
obey. Should the master, under these and
many other circumstances, attempt 10 manu-
NIT his slaves. be might be guilty Of an act Of
gross iuhumanity. Suppose STAKEHOLDER
has family Of one hundred slaves; perhaps
dozen of them are decreped by age or 9TH
erwise; another class are children and help
less infants. and all are to be sent forth into
the wide world with the boon OF liberty, but
without the care Of master-exposed to
famine and deprivation-or like the poor
slaves of John Randolph. now without spot

COARSE WOOL,

Under the Wing tariff Of 1912 was prntec-
ted by duty Of 5 per cent. only. The
same article under the democratic tariff of
1886 receives a protection Of THIRTY
PER CENT. Who is the friend Of the
farmer l-[Vt. Patriot.
This statement is intended to deceive.
The five per cent. duty under the act Of
1s42 extended only TO coarse wool, as the
Patriot states; but why did it not give the
balance Of the Truth, viz that npon ALL 9TH
Err WOOL. the same act imposed duty OF
specific character. Of three cents per pound,
aud an ad valorem from 81 to 90 per cent,
while the new act imposes duty Of 30 per
cent. only upon wool Of every description
This foreign coarse WOOL. costing 7 cents per
pound and under, the Patriot well knows
does not compete with our Vermont wool.
WHY also does net the Patriot. IN IFS resear-
ches after truth, as to who is the friend OF
the farmer state the further fact that the
