The Question of the Hour.
public meeting held at one o'clock under
the auspices of the Boston Grange at the Bos-
ton Commercial Exchange, drew full audi
ence. The meeting was called to order by John
B. Bartlett, master of the Boston Grange who
stated briefly the objects of the meeting
The principal question was of cheap trans
portation of produce from the West to the
East, and reform in management is not only
necessary but indispensable. He then intro
duced j. G. Abbott, General Deputy of the Ma
tonal Grange, who spoke of the great revolu-
ton that was going on in the country; urged
the importance OF putting down the monopoly
of railroads in this respect; gave statistics of
the earnings of different railroads, necessarily
reducing the profit of the farmer to almost
nothing; contended that freight and travel
could be reduced to one fourth the cost of the
present rates, and considered it a downright
robbery as it is now managed He said there
should be superior power to combine and con-
solidate, and the Grange is the only organization
that has with any degree of success met this
monopoly. He was followed by Amasa
Walker, who considered the great question of
railroad reform and felt it his duty to come
monopoly. He presented the rates of freight
on different roads and considered it national
question and that it should be the business of
Congress to interfere and protect the business
interests of the country. de spoke of three
ways the great object could be attained. First,
by general law fixing the rate of travel and
freight on all roads in the county; second, to
create new lines between the princi pal depots
of transportation, and Third by purchasing all
roads and placing them under government
management to be leased, which would open all
roads to the public at the cheapest rates. He
reviewed the different plans and thought the
last would be most feasible. He considered
the question of railroad reform a national oues-
ton which would become political one, and
can only be achieved by political action.
