The Rutland daily globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1874-04-20

All that was necessary TO do was to write
mo more monopoly on our ballots and
deposit them in the box and the power OF
corporations to injuie is at an end.
MIR. Spencer said, to-day you have met
as Producers Association. This is the
first one organized but unless these bur.
dens are removed they will multiply like
the locusts of Egypt.
We arc divided into three classes, the
producer, consumer and carrier. The
consumer of the west is the producer for
east, and the consumer of the east is the
producer for the west. The position of
the carrier is the same in each case. Each
class have their rights guaranteed them by
our government. When the producer at.
tempts to trample upon the rights of the
consumer then it is the duty of the govern
ment to put II stop to it, When the car
rler attempts to impose upon both pro-
ducer and consumer il becomes their right
and duty to call upon the government to
check them. But the people are sover-
cigns. To them in the end must all qucs-
lions come for final adjudication.
Rutland and Washington counties have
an inexhaustadlc quantity of mineral, that
producers of the west, cast, and south
can and will use, provided we can get our
products to them at price that will enable
them TO use them. This we cannot do and
