Native Protests Agaist Railroads
in China.

Two very curious articles have been
published by Shanghai native news
paper, the Hvei, Puo, protesting against
:he construction of railways in the
Chinese empire. The Hi0ei-I'ao is OF
opinion that tho existence ofrailwa Us
in Europe is too recent to admit Of a
judgment being formed as to their prac
tical utility, and, moreover, that there
is not sufficient business in China to
render them profitable. The Chinese
journal goes on to say that 'tea and
silk arc the principal objects of COM
merce, and these have hitherto been
forwarded to the treaty potts by river
steamboats, a substitution of railways
for steamboats, would not eff ,tt any siv
ing in point of time, aud could not,
therefore, even from the point of view
taken by the foreigners themselves, be
Of any service to China. Admitting
that little time was gained, the
Chinese would not be benefited, for tn:
goods would MT be exported more rapid
ly Thus the railways would only lead
to an accumulation in the ports Of vast
quantities Of goods which, as they could
not be shipped off all at once, would fall
considerably in price.
The Ucei Pao also says: '.Thc acci
delts cn railway lines are very numcr

or tenders taking fire, by tho trims run

these casualties arc p.cvcntaLle, and
tlat the trains follow hc,.. regular

walking OH the lines would have no

this cause nl,nc the number Of fatal
accidents would be enormous. Tn all
countries where railways exit they are
considered Il very dangerous mode OF
locomot ion, aud, beyond those who have
very urgent business to transact. no
one thinks Of using them" This latter
statement cannot as yet be accepted in
itS entirety; but, unfortunately, nc have
every reason to know that, so far as
England is concerned, travelling b; rail
u'y is ia very dangerous. mode Of 10.
eomotion."

A I.ittle Rnsln.sa TnIh.,

The first Of January being near at hand, whom .
large number Of subscriptions will expire, We wish 10
say word 10 subscribers about several matters.
Probably more than seven-eghts Of the people In
Vermont will declare that the paper which demands
payment in advance and then stops when the subscrp-
ton has expired lie the for them. The FARMER lie
that kind Of paper, and urge Of the
why We would be glad to have every subscriber renew
his subscription, the way TO compel all papers
TO adopt the same PLAN 10 take Others, but to re-
new subscription for the paper that stop and
give II your every assistance. Any time whom the
people demand that kind Of papers they will be fur
niahed. Hthen your choice ~ 10 have your papers
stop when your subscription has expired enforce that
preference by taking such papers, and by NOT taking
any others. We speak Of this because many people
are apt through careessnes to neglect 10 their
subscriptions for the paper that will stop but suffer the
paper that stops along, thus giving en-
eoSragment 10 the they don't to encourage,
Instead Of the one they would encourage. Think OF
this reader and II you allow the FARMER to stop and
do not renew for It, but keep taking papers that never
stop, do IL because you prefer that way and not
thOughtiessiy.
In regard 10 the price Of the paper we have found
some who TO think that the club prioe will ap.
ply to single subscriptions we'll as to clubs This s
wrong. The price Of the paper Ia $500 a year. But
We say TO any subscriber. If you will get three Of
your nelghbors to take the paper with you we will
give you dollar for doing 80, and you may divide the
dollar among yourself and the other three" In this
way We get many new subscribers who will prove TO
DO permanent ones, and they In turn will bring Us
ether new ones hereafter By this means We have
largely increased subscription list and expect 70
increase II much But II dses not follow that We
can give the paper for S75 to any one who does net
bring in other subscribers That would be paying for
work when no work is DONE Do you pay smith for

Full free return checks have been secured
over the Vermont Central railroad and its
leased branches for all members Of the Order
who attend the state grange meeting, and
the state agent will try to secure similar ar
rangements with the other roads.
Again we invite all who feel an interest
in the work the state grange is to perform
to attend its annual meeting Tuesday next,
and remain during its session Of two or three
days. Much business is to be transacted.
The state agent will make a report Of his
operations also the state executive CON-
mittee, finance committee, secretary, treas
urer, committee on insurance, lecturer, CON-
mittee on education; aud Worthy Master
L. p. Cotton will report the proceedings Of
the national grange meeting.
Every grange in the state should be rep
resented by the master and his wife VI q
matron. Probably over three hundred mem
bers viii be present; many Of them among
the most prominent farmers in the state, men
who have been masters of oranges during
the past year and know well the workings
and wants Of the Order. We believe they
will act wisely for the good Of tho Order,
and disappoint those who prophesy evil and
that continually.
