cation for bis children, subscribe largely

the day, and lay up a few bonds against
the time TO come.
This change of our farming cornmu uni
ties within twenty-five years has been
largely owing to increased values caused
by diminished cost OF transportation.
There are places in our country where IT
costs as much to get bushel of corn to
market as il is worth when IT gets there
In such places, farming is equal to
nothing. or equal to a mans bread ana
butter. He can make no Roadway, can
neither educate his family nor take care
of the church or the academy. The dit
/ ference then between what IT costs to
raise any product and the price obtained
for it in market, represents the exact adj
dition which that product makes
to the wealth of the country. And so
with all products. If then save a
large percentage of the market price, and
put it into our own pocket, we have got
larger means to spend.
Where, then, there is a large accumula-
ton there will be also wider distribu-
ton of wealth. He who earns most will
spend most With the increase OF re-
sources there will be increase of expendI-
lures More wheels will be set IN motion
Carpenters, mechanics, artisans OF all
sorts will be set to work. n cheerful
and healthfui prosperity will send it,
/ benignant influences through all the
arteries of life. The heart of the mer-
chant will be gladdened and the skill OF
the mechanic will be blessed Every sort
of manufacture will flourish, from the
making of carriage to the making Of 4

/ LETT ont in the cold. The country Will be
dotted with fine farm houses, and spread
with rich farms. The villages will show
every mark OF thrift III schools. hotels,
shops, arts and churches. The Vermont
of to-day, in all that makes 1t a better
State to live in, more agreeable, more
/ beautiful. is largely indebted To her rail
roads. They have enhanced lncalculaoly
our buying, our building, our educating
capacity, and doubled the expenditure
which have been the foundation OF our
whole system of public Improvement
The original outlay of these roads, even
if it has all been lost, has been the wisest
and most productive investment ever
made in the State. They have brought
back one dollar where they have taken
one cent, and will continue 10 do IL ia all
future time.
/ And it is obvious that our railroad
facilities are not yet sufficient or com
plete. The central, northern aud western
portions of the State are still unptoyIded.
And the question Is how shall their wants
be most effectively met and at the least
cost There can be no doubt that ral-
way system which shall meet the demand

is a wise one IL Is not 10 be forgotten
that those railroad expenditures are most
truly wise that open the country To l..
largest nearest m4rket, and at the same
time distribute most easily and at most
points. the articles which our State needs
from the seaboard aud from the west. IL
that is true. il would seem II at the cheap
