vsistsa BY ONE of the most extensive psaeh
gsswsss 10 this section. ssd one we'll 10.
tosmsd in the peach trade. which should
b. rssd everybody. There 10 movement
% eOot. here. to get the Railroads. iu con-
sidssasioa u shs extremely low prices Oh.
saissl for posches. to refund some Of the
freight charged scr carrying the fruit to
market. Peach grower mentions the sum
Il 6vs essts per basket and argues that il
wesld b. smsll smount to the Railroad
Companies. aud considerable help to the
pssch growers. especially those who. BY
ss~s shipmeass. were brought in debt.
This movement should meet with the ready
cooperation Of al the growers Of the state,
cod stroeg effort made to obtain draw
back. II the amount mentioned BY Peach
Grower cannot be obtained, let them per-
sisssutly insis. on the State tax Of $3.50
. car being refunded BY the Del. X. X.
II neither Of these amounts will be al.
lswed BY the railroad. Let tho peach
growers take the remedy in their own
haads. Let them build a parallel road.
They have the money and can get char
sss as any time. A road from tho juno
tios h Breakwater railroad. by Dover,
Smyrns. .Odssss. ST. Georges and on to the
railroad that is being built to Delaware
City. would be paying road, and would
Furnish 90 outlet for oil the peaches grown
10 Delaware. This road would then have
direct connection with the Pennsylvania
Centrsl railroad. which has. or will have
shortly, control Of the Jersey railroads
leading to New York. No doubt arrange
mssss could be made with the Pennsyl-
vsaia Central for Is spcady transi. to New
York and st much cheaper rates than We
nov have.
Besides. ~ has been shown this year.
The interior towns Of Pennsylvania. all Of
which can be reached by the Pennsylvania
Central. afford . good market for peaches,
ssd can consume many more than has
been shipped there this year. Thus the
new road. above spoken Of, would make
make the growers entirely independent oi
the Delaware Railroad and its connee-
tions.
II il should be necessary to build this
railroad, and |, ia tho opinion Of many Of
our citizens that. unless the Delaware
railroad is more accommodating and more
moderate 10 its charges. il some day will
b bsilt. Il should be controlled BY home
capital and operated by our own citizens.
The trouble with tho Delaware Railroad
y. that Il 10 slmost entirely owned and
operated BY Eastern men. who have No
interest 10 Delaware except to make al
they can out Of her citizens.
