The railroad feeling has been rising ever
since our company started. and tonight II
runs high. The meeting this evening was
an enthusiastic one. and resoiute deter
mination that the Burlington and Lamoiiie
Valley connection shall be built. and that
without delay, has taken shape IN IN organ

tails of our delightful visit 10 ST. Johnsbury
for another day
At tine ad .our1eG meeting in the town
hail. evening, the committee OF thirteen
reported. by Mr. Chittenden, the chairman,
f-st. that the road from Burlington TO Gam
bridge must be built, as soon as prudent
/ expenditures of money and labor will build
il. Second that il Is best that it be built
under one corporation. rather than under
the two existing charters. and that the cor
porauou better organize under the general
railroad law. which Is ample Tor the pur-
pose. This requires at the start stock
subscription Of s.. 600 mile for the first %
miles and Of 81 900 Z mile for the remain
der Of the distance Estimating the length
/ OF the connection at % miles at the ion Eest,
q stock subscription Of $4,000 Is n,sces-
sary. and this the committee believed could
be at once secured.
The committee reported articles Of asso-
citation for tine new company. for which
they had selected the name Of the Burlington
and Lamoille Railroad Company. They also
reported that they had ventured TO select
list OF thirteen director to form the hrst
board of the road (of course if approved by

The Burlington and LanoIile Railroad EXCURSION

To the Editor Of the Free Press and Times
Several OF the excursion party LETT ias'
evening and will doubtless report al bur
liurton before noon to-day. The mass oil
the party took an carly start, ny special
train at this morning. intending to break
fast at Hvdepark. and drive home during
the day.
Mr. Linsley brought up the rear, leaving
by the seven o'clock train with his eompan-
ions. Messrs. Horace Wheeler, Eli ChItten-
den and J. ). Pierce. These venerable gen
tlemen-an exceeding three-score-and-ten'
and one Of them { Mr.. Wheeler) upwards Of
four-seore-Dassed as the BOYS OF the par
". Mr.. Linsley with characteristic thought
fulness. made their comfort his special
care. taking them in ms own carriage,
and arranging the journey with respect to
their comfort. They stood the ride and the
sightseeing with no more apparent fatigue
than the Youngest Of the company. and all
were glad to have them with Us.
On undertaking TO pay their hotel bills
the members Of the party found them al
ready paid by the Messrs. Fairbanks, an
entirely unexpected courtesy, but entirely OF
a piece with the many o-her acts OF hospi-
tajItv and kindness extended to Us by the
citizens of 81. Jchnsbury. and which Will
long be q pleasant memory and I lasting
bond of good will between the TWO towns.
OF course the party oyerh5we1 the hotel,
and many private. houses were thrown open
To Mr. Paddock. Judge Morrill,, Nj. Blod-
gett. Cashier May. Messrs Howard, las

seemed delighted to see 50 many old ae-
auainrances). and many other citizens OF

incidents OF our stay here some Of the de-
tails are worth noting more at length.

in front of the house began TO fill with

Yours,
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1874-10-29

You can easily see that bad as our stu
alton is it might be made worse. Repeal
the duties and it would be hopeless They
are strong dyke, wall, which the Re
publican party has built up around the in
dustries of the country to keep out the
overwhelming food Of cheap foreign goods.
While it stands we can not be destroyed.
The Democratic party has determined to
break down this wall, and we are asked to
help them by voting to put them in power.
In their State conventions Of this year, as
in past years, they have denounced protec-
ton and demanded tariff for revenue only,
or declared in favor Of Free Trade. In
Pennsylvania only they are silent. They
know that our mines have stopped, that
our rolling mills have suspended, that fur
naces are out of blast, that factories are
idle, and that thousands of unemployed
workingmen look forward to the coming
winter with the fear Of suffering for them
selves and their families, and they know,
too, that their party from Maine to Mis-
souri, have united to destroy the tariff which
is our sole protection against utter ruin
yet they make no protest, they have no
word to say in our delense-their platform
is ominously silent on this most important
subject. They intend to vote on national
questions with the Maine Democrats who
say in their resolutions,
"a protective tariff is most unjust,
unequal oppressive and wasteful mode of
raising the public revenues. 1t is one of
the most pregnant and fruitful sources Of
the corruptions Of administration. We,
therefore, the Democracy Of Maine, in con
vention assembled, declare for Free Trade,
and in favor Of AN unfettered and unre-
stricted commerce.
They indorse the platform Of the Mis-
souri, Democracy which declares that,
ave denounce The present tariff as hay-
ing been concocted alone in the interests
of Eastern manufacturers, and in lieu of it
we demand tariff for revenue only that
will be Just to all sections of the country.
They sustain and will labor with the
Democracy Of Illinois who declare in favor
of
"Free commerce, and no tariff except for
revenue purposes.
They are in accord with the Ohio Demo
Gratis who say in their platform,
1--WE are opposed to the unjust and op-
pressive features Of the existing tariff laws
and insist on their repeal or modification,
so that revenue tariff shall be substituted
for them
A sentiment indorsed by the Pittsburgh
Post, the leading Democratic newspaper of
our State, which says, ''the Ohio platform
thoroughly embraces the Democratic idea. >
The Democratic party of the nation
