The fact that W. p Warren. the head
of the large manufacturing concern Of Full
Ter, Warren q Co. of Troy, y. Y, has re-
Gently announced that part or all Of their
works is TO be moved West, has been seized
upon by the free trade papers as showing
that the tariff is killing home industries
Mr.. Fuller having said as reported that
the burden imposed on the materials enter
ing into stoves, especially on pig iron, is
onerous. The additional fact is omitted
however, that the pushing city of Joliet
Ill has offered the Fuller. Warren company
the gift Of site for their foundry and a
cash bonus to assist in erecting buildings.
Still further than this nothing is said about
the fact that other large manufacturers in
Troy and vicinity hold that the protective
tariff is the one thing which makes the
continuation of their business possible A
Troy Times reporter was sent out to look
up the whole subject and was told by the
manager Of the Burden iron company

From the history given in last SUNDAYS
Republican Of that portion of the Vernon
road which has been appropriated by the
railroad company il appears that il was
laid out IN 1861 by special commission
consisting OF Judge A. Stoddard now of
Westminster, j l.. Butteriield Of Grafton
aud VIM. Harris of Windham. aud was TO
replace the old highway coded 10 the rail
road company 10y the town, which ran on
the east side Of the railroad yard. where
the narrow guage freight tracks now are.
As the record shows that it was laid out
three rods wide, and the line Of the west
side was nowhere beyond the line Of the
houses standing there, il is evident that
part if not the whole Of the westerly rail
road track is now in the roadway A large
portion Of the Vernon travel now goes over
Cemetery hill, rather than risk tho dangers
OF the other road People who have not
been that way since the railroad company
made its latest encroachment should 20
down and take in the situation They
will not wonder that it makes the Vernon
people indignant, and there is no doubt
that 1t Is IA positive injury 10 the business
Of the town. Like 50 many other railroad
matters it is held that it must wait until
the question Of the lease Of the New Lon
don Northern is decided. but PROMPT
remedy for the evil ought in some way 10
be obtained

We copy the above because it bears upon
a subject which we gave extended notice
last week The facts contained are en-
couraging and such as ought to be borne in
mind by every student Of the race prob
lem in the South. The general drift of Dr.
Haygood's letter is evidently in the line of
the Bra;tleboro discussion Of this subject,
but on one point we take issue Instead of
deprecating agitation We believe that con
slant discussion and agitation are one Of
the necessary remedies for the evil We
do not mean angry denunciation, hut that
kind of discussion that keeps the public
mind and conscience alive. When mob
of white men takes eight negroes from jail
and shoots them, and the grand jury fails
to take any action in the premises though
instructed by the court to do so, it Is time
something was said about it 10y the papers
