Too W mueF IS now like Philadelphia was ten
Jtars ago. So many peaches stop there that
the seller has but little to say, the buyer all,
and dictates his own terms, as was proven last
year. His plan, as published in the Trans
crtpt, is as follows:
= First, elect men to our Legislature who
will repeal the tax layed on the Del r. r. and
make 1t rs the originatOrs intended it--Q free
high1cGy to take our products to market Ii
State tax be required, lay it fairly and Justly
upon all the wealth of the State, after fair
assessment OF property of the three counties
Next, send committee Of intelligent peach
growers to the Presidents of the F. W. & B.
Ii. H. and the Pennsylvania Central r. II. who
now controls the Camden Il Amboy and with
the aid and influence of the Presidents of these
roads, arrange with Shore Line r. Il. or some
| other railroad, to connect with railroads at
Jersey City 50 as to cross loaded peach cars
nom Jersey City to connecting roads all over
the Eastern States and CaDada. Arrange a
schedule OF trelghts to every town of 10000
and upwards OF population along any railroad
III the Eastern states, 50 thatcars can be loaded
IN Delaware and Eastern Shore of MARYLAND
and be shipped direct. without transhipment,
to every said principal town, aud a salesman
from Delaware or Maryland sent to see to the
shippers interest This will effectually drive
out the sharks that infest New York from
those towns every season. Then stop not over
20 or 100 cars at JERSEY City, to be hauled over
and retalied in New York and BROOKLYN and
adjacent places. But should any be sold at
Jersey City' the buyer to pay all hauling and
othGr expenses. All sales at Jersey City to be
Hnal. then the New Ork statesmen would be

''r@ O1er dnd ta0ling Hro,rn IT, We, the
peach growers, have time before another sea
son to arrange SO the like of the present shall
never happen again at Jersey City,
Another plan, and one neither new nor fea
'Ible perhaps, is that of Mr.. Budd, Of Cecil ,
TO-, Md, as suggested to the Country Gentle |
men. 1t is as follows:
Let the peach growers of Delaware and
Maryland advertise that those who want their
peaches must bring their baskets and come for
mem that they are ready to sell, at the rail.
oau stations and landings, their peaches at
air prices and + the buyers DO not come and .
'uy them iced tlem to the hogs, throw them
'verboard, tor thousands of basket, have been
ent this year to New York and Philadrlnhi,
Vhlch would have been better fed to the hogs
II distilled into brandy. The effect of such a
would give us fair prices for our
'eaches, and relieve US of the risk in regard to
'ackageS and freight"
IT peaches were necessity, like grain and
s unpershabe, this might do. But they are
luxury, and can be eaten or not as New
orkers and Others sec fit. They could well
ford not to eat, but the growers could not af.
ord not to sell. This plan, while it would
oubtless prevent a g.ut in New York, would
ertalnly gIut the hogs and the whisky stills
