Do we need a Railroad Commission?

We have in our possession a freight
bill, recently paid and receipted at this
depot, wherein the charges from Brat
tleboro to this station was S1.2S and
from Buffalo, n. V, to Brattleboro
$l.20. These are the figures, we have
made no mistake. The freight was
shipped at Buffalo, N. V, and the char
ges from Brattlcboro to this place 81 .2S
and expenses $l.20. In other words the
freight from Brattleboro to this point,
36 miles, was cents more than from
Buffalo to Brattleboro distance of 400
miles. Under these circumstances is it
any wonder that our manufacturing in
terests anguish; that our mills and
workshops drag out miserable eXis-
tence; and that no new industries are
started and capitalists shun us? Is it
any matter of surprise that one of the
best if not the best mill privileges on
the West River, including stone foun-
dation for buildings, and several old
water wheels, and a quantity of mate
rial at hand for dam, although well adj
vertised, for two weeks, sold at auction
for less than three hundred dollars?
Capitalists and business mel who are
seeking new fields invariably take into
consideration the matter of treights as
prime factor, especially so III this
section where the natural facilities so
largely favor the manufacture of lum-
Der and wooden wares. If a man will
come up here with all adap'ability to
running cancus we will guarantee that
he can get free pass; but if he comes
to put his money and brains into the
development of the natural recources
of the country he can obtain no conccs-
sions, whatever; and if he is running a
mill S miles below him, notwithstand-
ing he is paying the railroad hundreds
and even thousands of dollars, yearly,
he must pay his little % cent piece eve
ry time he rides down to his mill and
the same to come back, while the cou-

it would be more crcditsblc to them to

whether or no this method would not
be as likely to insure favor with the

quarters that Col. A. b. Franklin, of

Governor, though he has three or four
pretty serious drawbacks: He don't live
in Brattleboro; he don't belong to the

and he won't go round blowing
his own horn and clcctionecring for
himself. In these respects, Of course
