Reported for the VERMONT PARKER
PASSUMPSIC FARMERS CLUB.

The Passumpsic Farmers Club held a So
clal gathering (by invitation) at the farm OF
j. p. Foster, member Of the Club. A briel
report of the meeting may be useful to the
readers Of the FARMER.
In looking over tina farm we find much tc
commend, and but little to condemn. The
general management shows improvement in
nearly every department. A field Of two acre.
OF corn and potatoes upon an inverted sod
with 80 OK loads of stable manure plowed
under this spring looks very nice, promising
good yield. The hay crop Is comparatively
light, but not so completely parched up as
on the river farms; one piece Of orchard
grass looked very nice and stout, and from
what we saw We shall use largely orchard
grass with western clover instead of timothy
or herds grass; they ripen nearer alike and
make rs good hay and arc surer OF a second
crop. Other crops compare faVorably with
farms in this section. Tree planting Is one
OF Fosters hobbies. His practice and preach
ing are alike. Maple trees line tho road, cedar
hedges are common and large amount of
fruit trees and shrubbery are being cultivat-
ed. A more extended account of this depart
ment should he given and the owner has
kindly offered to give the club at an carly
day, paper entitled twenty-five years
among the apple trees" which will be look
eel for with interest. His stock WIS mostly
IN pastures distant from the firm. We saw
four handsome grade or native cows, the
owner thinking them better for the average
Mare that drew 300 worth of wood into

Tho lady members of tho Club found their
hostess al home in all that pertains to success
FIJI household management. A bounhful
farmers supper was provided, to which all
did ample Justice. The very fine articles OF
food. other than the products Of the farm,
were noticeable and commendable.
Discussion turned mainly upon the neces-
sity Of cooperation among farmers, the gen
eral corruption that exists In all political
and governmental departments Of the coun-
try, and deep regret that the slightest suspi-
cion should rest upon any Of our Vermont
delegation In Congress, touching the " salR-
ry steal and other Irregularities that have
attached themselves to the last Congress.
The meeting, the first of the kind held by
the Club, was highly enjoyed by all. Joseph

the Club. The time to be given by tho In

We believe that our Burlington cotompo-
rary expresses, in the above paragraph, not
only the exact truth in regard to the Central
Railroad, but also the general opinion in this
state. As to its view Of the Importance Of
che strife between the farmers aud the mo.
nopolists, railroad and other, We place
against il the following opinion by DIR. Hol-
land, in Scri6ner's Monthly for July:
The wrongs which now front us, and wait
with desperation OF trembling TO be righted,
are connected with the great corporations and
their combinations and monopoles. The
people by whose consent, and for whose ben
eft these railroads were built-railroads to
which have been devoted enormous areas OF
public land and stupendous preroRatiyes and
privileges-are determined TO have something
TO say about their management, and deter
mined that their power shall be curtailed
The corporations which have built them and
are administering their affairs are manipu-
lating or controlling legislatures, and super
huously enriching all connected with them
while the farmer cannot get paying return
ior his wheat at his door, and the consumer
buys his bread at an exorbitant price. The
| night oil the people with these monstrous DOW.
ers is begun, and is 10 be The great 6ght Of ht
neat hCenty years. The issue is not doubtful
| though 1t may be long DELAYED.
We believe that Gov. Smith and his CO.
adjutors will be, as they have been, far too
shrewd to place their corporation in any pc.
sition Of antagonism to the people. As tC
what causes of grief stock and bondholderi
or other creditors have against them, i
seems to us that such are entirely their owl
affairs, in which the people are not at all in
terested. But they are interested, aud deep
ly so, in retaining in authority those only
who have shown that they respect the right
and consider the interests of the public Ii
this Governor Smith has manifested a long
headed shrewdness and common sense which
without doubt, has heen his salvation II
time of trouble, and stands as lesson wortl
the while Of other railroad men to study anC
initiate. While he may have made som,
mistakes, the governor deserves we'll Of III,
people Of Vermont, and they sec it. Fo
ourself, We believe that what are called hi
mistakes y have been mostly the result o
the necessities of his situation.

County;
The time has come when farmers
and others-producers OF wealth and
pay ers of taxes-must know the dis
position of their servants in trnsi.
and what they can depend on when
elected to official place. If our in
terest as producers is not TO be re-
garded by you, if capital is to have
all the favors Of legislation, and la
Der nothing, We must arise in our
might and put servants into place
who will respect justice and our in
terest.
Ii you are elected to the State
Senate from this County, will you
by influence and vote support reso-
lutions to the u. s. Congress in
structing and demanding the repeal
of the $50 called Protective Tariff
laws and require Congress to levy
taxes for necessary Revenue only?
We are tired of being taxed 40 to 60
per cent. on nearly every thing we
buy, to go into the pockets of the
manufacturers, without any equiva-
lent IN return.
If elected, will you Use all consti-
tutional and 1t wful means to compel
the Railroad corporations of this
State to reduce their charges for
freight and passage in just and prop
er proportion to the actual cost and
cash value of their respective roads !;
and enact limit to their charges
beyond which they shall not go?
We regard them as under the law Of
common carriers and not independ-
ent of State control. We arc tired
Of being at the mercy of swindIers
and stock and job gamblers who
manage to be paid large dividends
on watered and bogus stock. and all
through supineness and cowardice of
our representative in our State Leg.
stature.
Again, if elected, will you put
forth your best endeavors that some
of the many millions Of property in
this State, now exempt from taxa.
ton shall be compelled to pay their
just shares of the taxes
An early reply to the above
through the HERALD is desired.
