Senator sprague's Fulmination''

Senator Sprague's extraordinary speech
o In the Senate will attract as vice at
tention as those which preceded it. His
accusation of Congress for its corruption,
imbecility and Ignorance, was only less
startling than the proofs with which he
attempted to sustain the charges. The
perfect frankness of the Senator, in con-
nection with these speeches, is the most
striking feature connected with them.
When one of his statements, concerning
the decay of industry and the ruin OF the
smaller manufacturers, was questioned, he
acknowledged that he, himself, had at
tanned his business prosperity, during the
Last few years, "only by crushing out all
smaller competitors" When he spoke of
Congressional corruption, he said he him.
self knew of a member who had been
asked to report upon certain matter In
g certain way, and the temptation held
out before him was 100000. For this
startling charge the Senator should be at
once investigated by special commit
tee, and the Senate must at once take
steps to clear its skirts of the infamy
The Senator also charged, in general, that
these corruptive influences are to-day
riding roughshod over all the industrial
interests of this country, while, at the
same time, all the members of Congress
clarifying each others smartness, and
declaiming about the country's prosperity.
Senator Sprague has certainly "struck a
vein" in his late speeches, and it is graft
flying to witness the courage and indie
pendence of the young nabob of the SEN

article, taken from the Vermont Freeman,
which is applicable pnrticularly,to Rut-
land at this time and trust il may be
carefully read by every citizen of Rut.
land, and while reading. think Of its APP
plicability to the building Of the Rutland
and Woodstock railroad We have sub
stituted the Woodstock and Rutland rail-
road in place Of the roads mentioned in
the original article:
1t is a law of political economy that
whatever stimulates production promotes
wealth. 1t is equally true that whatever
the first price of products increases the
resources OF ii country Hence the great
importance Of railroads 10 a people: for
they both stimulate production and in
crease the first price of all articles and
commodities produced. They develop
the resources of a country, for they open
its territory to settlement and bring it
near to market He is benefactor of his
race who makes two blades of grass grow
where one grew before He is equally
such who makes one blade of grass equal
in value to what two were before. And
railroad is doubly beneficial, for it ac-
complishes both of these results. 1t
stimulates production, and dimishes the
cost of transportion. The value of the
product is not consumed in getting it to
the market.
Who can estimate the value Of the two
great lines of railroad to our State . By
cheapening the cost of transportation to
market, they have doubled the value of
most of our products. Twenty years ago
potatoes sold for ten to fifteen cents a
bushel, now from seventy-five to a humid.
red cents. Other heavy and staple arti.
cles of common production have been
affected in the same manner. The conse.
quence is that the buying capacity of the
State has increased in like proportion.
When farmer sold his potatoes for a
shilling and his butter for ninepence. his
buying capacity was very moderate. Hel
was obliged to live carefully, to MORTGAGE
his farm to build his house or educate hi.
sons and daughters, and to struggle hard
with no adequate remuneration for h;s
labor. But now, on the price of his pro.
duets, he can pay his taxes, repair or re-
build his house and barns, purchase az.

l. A NEW RAILROAD PROJECT.-W c
copy the following paragraph from the
Rutland Courier of yesterday. We know
nothing personally of this movement, but
of one thing we feel confident that the
people of Rutland, if they are not blind
to their interests, will some day wake VI
to sense of duty and build Railroad
across the mountains to connect with the
Vermont Contra, and have a more direct
communication with their neighbors on
the cast and northeastern section of the
State After Rutland has sat still few
years and seen all the railway communi-
cations going around, and from that fact
its population decreasing, its business car
ried off to other points in Vermont and
New Hampshire, they will awake and
look and build road out into the world
for tho benefit of the generation that fol-
lows them. When by the building of the
Woodstock Railroad, all the advantages
could be secured in three years from this
date population increased, property raised
in value, instead of seeing what they
will see, as sure as day follows day, a
blank in their business and properly, ii
they allow the building of the Wood
stock Railroad to pass by and either the
Gassetts or Killington road build
We are informed from good authority
that the managers of the Vermont Central
railroad as well as the people Of Bethel,
Stockbridge and Pittsfeld, are. preparing
to make an early survey for a railroad
from Bethel to Rutland, on a very feasible
line of route, that will make the whole
distance from Bethel to Rutland only
thirty-two miles The line of route, We
understand, will be from Bethel to Pitts
field village, thence westwardly on the
northern side of the mountain that lays
north of "New Boston, and sweeping
round to the south ria the "Greenleai
place" and "Slab City striking the route
OF the Rutland and Woodstock road q
little south of the residence of Hiram
Baird, Esq, in Chittenden. The parties
interested intend applying for a charter at
the next session of the Legislature
| We know we speak the sentiment OF
the business men of Rutland, when we
say, that if from any cause a railroad con-
nection is defeated between Rutland and
Woodstock ria Chittenden, then give Us
connection with Bethel over the pro-
posed route, as either will penetrate a
country now deprived of railroad facil-
ties, and which will open new avenues of
business to this place and give us better
facilities to reach Eastern Vermont and
the Capitol of the State
