night when 1000 people gathered to

many were unable to get into the hall.

The meeting was a strong contrast to

fused to speak.

Clement man refused to accept $500 Of

Abundant crops, and an oversold steel

continuance OF the present prospectus in
the business conditions. The weather has
favored both crops and the distribution of
merchandise. Despite unprecedented prep
larations for business by liberal purchase
of rolling stocks, the railways are facing
a serious traffic blockade that cannot be
avoided when the crops begia to move
freely. Earnings thus far reported for
August were III per cent. larger than
last year. A significant factor was the
further voluntary advance in wages at
textile mills. No relief appears as TO tia

state VIII Try to Punish Road for
Chnreing Excessive Freight.

Montpelier, Aug. 16.-Two suits have
been brought by Attroney-Genreal c.
G.. Fits against the Central Vermont
Railway company for damages In col
lecting excessive freight tariff on coal
used at the state hospital for the in
anc at Waterbury and for money col
lected in excess of the regular rates,
are r~eturnable at the September term
of Washington county court.
These suits are brought under Sec
lions 1902 and 1904 V. S. which pro-
vide for reasonable and equal rates
from carrying companies to all corpora
lions. and providing a penalty for their
violation.
C. w. Writer'S, counsel for the Cen
trail Vermont railway. has accepted
srevico in these two suits. 1t Is alleg-
ed that the Central Vermont has been
charging excessive rates on coal for
the Waterbury asylum since 1900, on n
total of over 20, 900 tons. The first
suit is for 800 0 damages and the Sec
ond for $500 excess money collected.

foc legislation to provide a penalty for
the violation in State business by
railroads and other common carriers, just
as Congress has provided a penalty for
the violation of interstate business. He
compared the republican platform with
the fusion democratic, which is entirely
silent on the subject. He explained to the
audience the coils of secret rates as prac-
ticed by Clement and showed how such
things crushed out competition and vital
~ affected the pocketbook of every con-
Sumer.
Mr.. Martin emphasized his point and
arraigncd Clement for his record on rail
road rates when he Clement was debating
the policy of the Rutland railroad. He
quoted from the Vermont statutes, 1901
as follows. "a railroad corporation whose
road is located in the State shall not
charge a larger sum for freight MGR
chandise or passengers thereon for a
loss distan,a to or from a way station on
said road. then is charged for a greater
distance and in case of violation of this
provision the excess so charged may be,
recovered from said corporation by the
party aggreved in an action for money
had ;rd received with costs" To show
Clements contempt for the laws OF the
State as well as the man as a CRATER
Mr.. Martin read a copy of a letter writ
ten by direction of Clement in June 2, 1895,
making rates as follows from Rutland to
Brandon 16 miles SIS cents per ton, from
Rutland to Mlddlebury "a miles sl.1O per
ton; from Rutland to Burlington G.
miles. 30 cents per ton. while he had a
rate for himself on his Bristol railroad
