Farmer Oranges or Granger>.
CAsTLEToN, Aug. IA, 1873

CASTLETON, Aug. IA, 1878.
Editor RutIa7od Herald Cheap and
quick transportation for men and ma
chinery, is the great desideratum of the
people of the United States, and is of
vital importance to the people of the
Great West. To accomplish this result
has employed the energies, talent and
sagacity of the best men of our nation,
from the days of Dewitt Clinton, to the
present time.
This not being accomplished, of late
has arisen apolitical organization, known
and styled farmer grangers," or "farm-
er oranges, having their headquarters in
the West. Their chief stock in trade is
defamation and railing at the existing
order of things, and do not offer any
known or tangible relief Tt is self ev-
ident that the West and the East need
cheaper, better, and more expeditions
means of transportation, and ought to
have it; but the grangers do not propose
to build railroads, or ship canals, for the
alienation of the people. They do not
even propose to coniscate those already
built, and run the same for the best in
terests of the people. The most they
propose to do is, by some sort of legisla-
tive tinkering in the business of com
mon carriers, not yet divulged or made
apparent, and concerning which their
power to control and direct has not been
promulgated.
1t may be asked of one who is not in
favor of this granger movement, "what
do you think ought to be done to relieve
| the West?' | should answer thus !:
construct better and cheaper means of
transportation, and give greater COM
petition for this Western transmission of
of produce and travel; enlarge the Wei
land canal construct the Caughawaga
and Champlain canal, open a ship canal
from the Mississippi to Lake Michigan,
so that second class propellers drawing
nine feet of water can bring one thou
sand tons or more in a single vessel from
the Mississippi River to Burlington. Vt;
avoiding all the delays and expenses
of the various trans-shipments now suf-
fered.
This done, and new lines of railroad
constructed, will release the country OF
unnecessary agitation, and within ten
| wears from the completion of the same
Burlington will be as great in the grain
market as she is now in the lumber
market, and will contain over $4,000 in
habitants, and the State OF Vermont
will be increased in population over for
ty per cent, and the grand list over SIX
ty per cent, and Vermont will cease tt

TIE ORANGES AND POLITICS.

A correspondent furnishes, in another
column, some valuable suggestions upon
the ycxed transportation problem, that
we commend to the careful consideration
Of our readers. The subject Of the ship
canal he speaks of, is no new question,
but it is one that possesses an unusual
interest at this time, on account of the
increasing importance of the farmers
organization and the lively discussion OF
the cheap freight problem. We cannot
endorse what our correspondent says
about the "granges, butthey will readily
pardon his misrepresentation of them on
account of his valuable suggestions on
one of the principal purposes OF their
order, and we believe that the natural
good sense of our correspondent would
lead him to approve of a thorough or
ganization of any people for mutual i'm
provement, both temporal and spiritual,
when he understands there is ''no niger
in the fence; so we attribute his criti-
cism upon the oranges" to his lack of
information in reference to their or
ganization and its purposes,
In the carriage Of passengers from one
side of the continent to the other, the
question of speed is an essential element.
We are a stirring, energetic people and
our business relations are arranged with
special reference to the briefest space of
time in which a given result can be
brought about, and when a business man
starts on a tour among distant custom
ers, he is willing to pay large rates and
fares, if he can save few days in time.
With them time is money, or rather is
more precious than money, and cheap
rates are gladly sacrificed to greater
speed; but in the transportation OF
bread stuffs from the valley of the Mis-
sissippi to the seaboard, afew days time
Is Of no Importance with the mass. 1t
Is wanted for consumption and export,
and the demand is continuous, and al
though prices may fluctuate, there will
never be time but what there is a mar
ket to be supplied.
Now, by overcoming the friction
caused by speed, the price of transporta
ton can be materially reduced, and if {
system of steady water transportation
can be obtained sufficient to carry al
supplies and freights that are offered
there is no mystery in the carrier prob
lem that requires political action o
legislative influence. Let parallel line
be established, and existing lines en-

Spring Grove Camp Meeting.
New HAVEN, AUGUST 10.

NEW LA ' ~ -AN3 80
The Spring Grove Camp Meeting COM
menced yesterday. The heavy rain Mon
day night was unfavorable for opening
with large representations from the diff
ferent churches in the district.
The threatening weather of Tuesday
morning kept many away who were ex-
pected, and who had planned to be pres
ent at the commencement.
The afternoon and evening trains
brought considerable additions to the
company already on the ground, and
with clearing weather the prospects
seem more promising for a full attend
ance and good meeting.
1t is really to be hoped by all the
friends of the meeting that the week may
be pleasant and Providence most propl-
tious to the jewellers in tents for the
time; for last year the week Tor INC
meeting was almost one continued cold'
comfortless rain storm.

So far as the editor of this paper was
fooled by the delusion of Liberal Repub-
licanism last summer, he should be
taught lesson that he will be wiser next
time. The HERALD, however, was right
all the time, and the doctrine it proclaims
now is the same it taught then, and was
clearly right then and is undoubtedly
right now. We cannot be driven into a

rransplanting in Windy Weather.

| have always found it a difficult mat
ter to make workmen understand the
importance of protecting the roots of
plants that were being transplanted in
windy weather. Small, delicate plants
are soon destroyed if exposed TO the hot
sun and drying winds. Large trees viii
also be greatly injured if exposed only
for an hour, and many a fine healthy
specimen has been destroyed by eX-
posure while a hole was being dug for
its reception. / have seen trees scat
tered about over field in the morning.
and there left exposed TO drying winds
until planted the same or the following
day If the trees died or failed to make
a good growth, the nurserymen, soil or
season were blamed, but never a word
said about carclcssness at the time of
transplanting.
One morning last spring ] passed
gentleman's place where one of our
would-be great landscape gardeners was
experimenting the planting of q choice
lot of evergreen and other trees, which
had lust arrived from a well-known
nursery. Not a hole had been dug. or
other preparations for planting made,
! but trees were scattered over the
place, each specimen thrown down
near where II was to be planted;
not a root covered or even sprinkled with
water, although the wind was blowing
almost hurricane at the time. Late ia
the evening passed that way again; the
larger portion of the trees were still ly-
ing in the same position, only a very few
having been planted. l learned, a few
months after, that the trees had died,
and the purchaser refused to pay for
them, and l believe the case is still in the
courts. This is but one instance in
hundreds that have come under my rath-
| er limited experience noticing what my
ueighbors are doing; consequently, do
not always feel like taking sides against
the nurserymen, even if they do some
times make mistakes( purposelY or other
WISE in filling orders for trees.
Too much care cannot be given to the
protection of the roots of trees while be-
! inc transplanted They should always
be kept covered with some damp materi-
al, such as hay, straw. moss or old cloth,
and not be uncovered till the moment
arrives to place them in the soil. 1t is
| to carelessness in such matters that most
/ people are indebted for the greater part
/ of their failures in tree planting. Cor.

Ira H. Adams.
Since our last report the following
summer visitors have registered at
Coles Central Hotel L. ?. Pollard and
family, Mr.. Farwell and family, Boston
Mrs. Earle and family, Miss Chase,
Salem, Mass.
Among the many improvements
made by owners OF real estate IN this
town, during the past season, none are
more worthy of note than those made
by mine host Cole, of the Central Hotel.
A large wing has been joined to the
south end of the main structure. The
rooms in this addition are to be used Tor
parlors and sleeping rooms and are so
arranged that the same can be used IN
| suits These rooms are supplied with
chamber sets of neat and modern styles,
and carpets of neat and tasty designs
cover the floors The greatest improve
ment, and one which adds most to the
beauty of the exterior of the hotel
building is the broad piazza, supported
by tall and massive pillars, which sur
rounds the entire frontage of the hotel
proper. This improvement renders
more attractive the beauty of Main
street, and will be duly appreciated by
those who have occasion to pass by the
hotel. Mine host Cole is deserving OF
the hearty thanks of the travelling pub
lie for his efforts to afford them stop
ping place, which for comfort, neatnes'
and convenience cannot be surpassed By
any hotel in Vermont, and he is entitlee
!, to something more substantial thar
gratitude from the citizens of Cheste
FOR his efforts to maintain in their mids
a hotel of which they may well fee
| proud.
Owing to the fine weather Sunda,
! the churches were well filled with at
tentive listeners. Chester can boast a
! least of a church going population.
