The Peach Question.
Tue Growers' Ultimatum.
Lower Frtights or no Shipments
A LARGE MEETING OF PEACH
GROWERS AT DOVER.
SYMPATHY EXPRE88ED FOR THR
TROUBLED RAILROADS—HOW THE
RAILROAD STRIKE AFFECTS THE
PEACH OROWBIW-THE (QUESTION
OF LOWER FREIGHTS—A POSI
TIVE EXPRESSION OF OPINION,
ETC.
Dover, Del., July 24, 1877.
In pursuance of a call issued by the
Committee ou Freight Rates appointed
at a recent meeting of fruit growers, a
further meeting was held in Court House
Hall, Dover, this afternoon.
The call was addressed to "ail who
believe that the rates of freight demanded
for the transportation of peaches are
much higher than the deplorable, con
dition of our markets will warrant," And
proceeds to stale that "should relief from
the exactions of railroads not be granted,
the propriety of asking the protection of
our fellow-citizens will he considered."
The response to the call came mainly
from New Castle county and the vicinity
of Dover, only some half-dozen growers
coming up on the afternoon train from
bel^w. When the meeting opened at
2.30 o'clock, about fifty persons were in
attendance, but in a short time the audi
ence numbered fully two hundred. The
proceedings were characterized by much
earnestness, combined with unity of
thought and perfect good feeling, and it
was evident that the proceedings were
the result of careful deliberation and
sound resolve.
The meeting was organized by the
selection, on motion of Mr. George VV.
Cummins, of Dr. J. L. Atkinson, of
Easton, Md., as chairman, and W. E.
Appleton, of Middletown, as {Secretary.
Immediately after organization, Mr.
Wm. Green, of Middletown ottered the
following:
Wherkah, We, the peach growers of
Delà war«*, are the first representative body
of the citizens of this State to assemble
since the beginning of the most terrible
crisis In our social and national life,-which
is unparalled in its extent und promised
atrocity in the annals of any nation; there
fore,
Resolved , That we recommend the Gover
nor of Delaware, and its citizens, to be in
I Htantaneous in the organizatidn of military
to prevent outrages of a like or similar
kind within our borders, and » b protect pro
perty of all kinds against this communis
tic attack.
Resotvfd , That we recommend every in
dividual to follow the example well-set by
the public press.to endeavor by frequent
and public utterance to so mould public
: sentiment os to render tbe perpetration
such outrages neither probable ot possible.
I
Dr. Henry Ridgeley, of Dover, moved
that a committee of five be appointed,
whom shall be referred, without debate,
all resolutions that may be ottered.
Mr. .Sami. Townsend was of the oppin
ion that if th.is motion prevailed he would
urge the app-intineut of separate com
mittee to iiud out who w'ere responsible
for the railroad troubles. It wasasub
ject which this meeting bad nothing to
i with, as it w as a gathering to discus, rates
uf l,ei « bt a,ul ( t*" 1 * sWPPiug arrange
ments, and not railroad troubles,
Dr. Ridgelev's motion prevailed.where
' eupon tlie chair appointed the following
! committee on resnltinons; Dr. Henery
Ridgeley, Wm. lirecn, lieo. W-Cuni
mins, Sami. Townsend, E. .R Corhram,
the committee at .once retired for consul
tation. . - .
The chairman said in refering to
object ol tlie meeting, that he was not
prepared to state whether it would
well or ill advised for the this meeting
express sympathy for the Railroad Com
panies in their present troubles, but
thought snch an expression of sympathy
would not be oi.t of place. Tbe great
ject, however, to secure an abatement
the present exhorbitaut charges of freight
on peach shipments.
Mr. Robert H. Cummins suggested
that lion. Charles Brown, who was pres
ent, be requested to give the meeting
his views upon the action of the Railroad
Company in making such a discrimina
tion against the peacii growers in freight
charges.
Mr. Brown declined giving his views
upon this question, but spoke generally
upon the peach subject, favoring tlie
tension of shipments, as far as practica
ble, to distant markets.
Mr. Robert U. Cummins followed, and
discussed the discrimination against j-each
growers practiced by the P., W. & U.
It. Company.
Mr. Maujove Hayes, of Dover, Treas
urer of the Delaware Railroad Company,
said that the interests of the growers
tlie Railroad Company were identical,
and it was unreasonable to lay all
charges of discrimination against Presi
dent Hinckley. The P. W . & B. R.
would act In a fair spirit towards growers
in the shipping arrangements. lie
ther said that freight charges on peaches
bad been Yoduced 50 per cent, in tlie
ten years, and in proof asserted that
I860 tbe charge for 528 baskets from
Townsend to New York was #172.00,
now the charge per cat load of 10,000
pounds, or 500 baskets, w as but #81.
was the Intention of the P., W. & B.
R Co. to still further reduce tlie rates
succeding years, but the growers should
not expect minimum rates while
Company was still feeling tbe great
pense of preparing for tlie pencil
ments, and was paying the enormous
of,#40,000 imposed by tbe State Legisla
ture.
Mr» R. H. Cummiqs asked what
growers had to do with this fact,
why does the Company discriminate
against the growers because it is heavily
taxed by tlie Legislature V
Mr. Hayes said that freight charges
peaches were made heavier thau on
products on accouut of the expense
preparing cars, running fast trains,
hiring extra hands, He then took
sion to read the following telegrams
which he had received during the day

Philadelphia, July 24,187T*
Mr. Hayes , Dover : If the peach growers
meet in Dover, to-day, pleat-e read to
the lollowing despatches. Every connect
ing railroad by which we had planned
send peaches is to-day in the power of
mob, who will allow no freight traffic
pass. I wunt the peach growers to
that in the unhappy condition of aflalrs
will do all in our power to promôle the
spects are
Peaches arriving here last night were stop
ped by mob law, àhd were nut upon this
market to be sold for the benefit of sn 1 ppers.
If more arrive, and the New York route be
still closed, we will sell them here, unless
shippers order to the contrary. Our agents
will givq prompt Information if the freight
embargo be ralæd on any connecting
route. ISAAC HINCKLEY.
Weht Philadelphia, July 23,1877.
Isaac Hinckley, Pre». P W. «fr R. R. R. Cb..*—
We are confidentially advised that at a
meeting which is now being held In the
woods across the river, resolutions have
been passed t hat the proposed peach trains
cannot be run to New York. I suppose
you will have to arrange its disposition in
Philadelphia to supply the maiket here,
hut. the chances are that the entire crop of
Delaware may be seriously Interfered with,
and I think you tiad better let the people of
Delaware understand the critical situation
of things In the country by whiceall trans
portation facilities are threatend.
Thomas a. Scott.
President Penn. R. R. Co.
Wbht Philadelphia, July 23, 1877.
Isaac JUnrkley :—One of the resolutions
passed at the meeting held in the Park.this
afternoon, was that no peaches should pass
over the Junction road to night. You had
better take care of the peaches by sidling
them ln Philadelphia. F. Thompson.
Gen'l Manager P. R. R.
Mr. Brown insisted that as all other
things were coming down in value, the
freight charges on peaches should also
come down. The Railroad Companies
were reducing expenses by cutting down
laboring ineu's wages to 90 cents a day,
while their Presidents and other officers
8*411 received salaries of $15 000 and $20,
000 per year. They should retrench
more directly at home, and then they
would be enabled to otter more favorable
terms to the fruit growers.
After some further discussion in this
tenor, the Committee on Resolutions re
turned and made the following report:
Resolved, That'in consideration of the
limb charges of transportai Ion between the
Delaware and Maryland stations and the
cities of New York and Philadelphia, it Is
the interest of peach growers living within
a reasonable distance ol water navigation,
to charter steamers and tug boats lor the*
purpose of carrying their fruit to those
markets.
Resolved, That If
tlnueduring the present year to he
rminerative as they have been for the past
fou r years, it will be a matter of Interest
to us to uproot them, and to convert the
land now occupied by them to the raising
or grain and grass.
Resolved, That while we Incur all the
risks of growing the most uncertain and
precarious of all crops—a crop which the
change of a few degrees of temperature in
the winter or the frosts of spring may ut
terly wipeout, which the curculio may de
stroy after all danger of frost has passed by
which may rot down before our eyes
when fully ripe, or become utterly value
less from certain conditions of the atmos
phere alter It has been started to market—
the railroad
operate In handling them only
lain and sure basis of gain, and no matter
whether the peaches sell for live dollars or
flvecents per basket after they reach their
market, the freight on them, like the laws
of the Modes and Persians, knows no
change.
Resolved, That we earnestly recommend
the growers
orchards shall con
unre
panics
the other hand
the eer
this peninsula to send
nothing to market that will not certainly
pay them some profit, and when the price
falls below Uiat point to let tlie fruit rot in
their orchards rather than permit railroad
companies to reap all Die result of their
outlay, their trouble and their toil, as was
done in 1875.
Resolved, That this illiberal policy which
Characterizes all their movements in our
peach trade, has been extended still further
this year by abolishing the chartered car
syGtem, for the simple reason as they al
lege, that in 1875 some of their caxs Were
not used as industriously as they thought
they should have been, and thereby they
sustained a trifling loss which, compared
to ours,
Rtsolved, That we regard with dlsplca
» the offer to reduce the freight on the
;ar loud of peaches to New York so as to
equalize the rëturn freight on our empty
bankets, while at the same time no similar
reduction is made to Boston and other
northern points, and we denounce it as un
worthy of the men who have charge of the
great lines over which the fruit passes.
Unsolved, That the recommend to all
l>eacli growers and shippers to refuse to
sign the form of contract for shipment of
peaches prepared and offered by the P.. W.
«.V B. K. R., officials,and that we hold them
to Lhnlr duties ana responsibilities us com

The reading ot the resolutions was
greeted with ajiplause, aud Dr. Ridgely
moved their adoption.
Mr. R. H. Cummins suggested that
they be adopted ueriatim , which was
done.
Mr. Green, from this committee, again
oflered the resolutions which were offer
ed by him at the opening of the meeting
and referred to the Committee on Reso
lutions.
Mr. Townsend opposed the adoption of
the resolutions, deeming their contents
foreign to tbe purjioses of the meeting.
He denounced the action of the Kailroad
Companies in grinding down the wages
of the poor men until they were driven to
desperation by poverty and oppression,
lie was opposed to riotous and lawless
proceedings, but as this matter did not
concern Delaware there was no use in
troubling the Governor about it.
Mr. Henry A. Now land made an elo
quent appeal for the peach growers to ar
ray themselves ou the side of law and
order, and against anarchy aud riot. He
urged the organization of military com
panies In this State to be iu readiness to
maintain the peace should the invasion
extend here.
Mr. Townsend said such talk was mere
buncombe, aud th.it no damage was to be
apprehended in thirSit*».
Aber some lu'th r dficussi«
the argument was advanced that'he present
riotous actions of the railroad strikers
threatened the safety ot the pinch crop and
thus affected tbe interests or the growers,
the resolutions were adopted with but hall
a dozen dissenting votes.
Mr. K. H. Cummins moved that one thous
and copies of the resolutions reported by the
commiiice b-i printed Jordifetributioh among
the peach growers of the Peninsula.
It being suggested that the resolution
would he published iu the paper», tbe
mulioo w-ts altered into a request for all
the papas on the Peninsula to publish the
resolutions, aft*r which it was adopted.
Mr. K. H. Cummins stated that it had

ed, unless more dr finite infoimntl
received is t the intention ot the Company

Question ■ atn motion of Mr. Cummins
was not callt-u
Mr. Wm. Green offered a resolution pro
viding that as a compromise between the
growers and the Railroad Compuny# the
rate ot $70 per car betweeuDover aud Jersey
City be asked for.
Mr, Townsend moved to amend by mak
the rale $60 per car.
The point

Resolutions.

One of the growers present, Mr. Wm.

peaches during D e past ten tears: In

THE GOSPEL TEMPERANCE.
The gospel temperance meeting at
the Opera House last evening was non
as largely attended as tin*© heretofore
held at the vame place, tiieauditorium
being about two thiids full. The
program rne was shortened considerably
and owing to the speakers wishing to
catch the 9.42 train tile meeting was
over by 8.3Ü o'clock.
The txeicises were opened by the
singing of the hymn entitled, "Crowns
of Victory," led by Prof, öwteney, of
Chester, the audience joining in the
chorus; ibis was followed by singing,
"Stand up for Jesus," and prayer by
U«v. T. F. Plummer, reading of the
fifteenth chapter of Si. Luke, by Rev.
F. B. DuVal, and Hinging.
H- v. Dr. Dale, was then introduced
and made a very good address in which
he pictured the woe that follows in
temperance, reciting a number of cas^s
lf> bear him out in bis statement. He
also said that one thing must not. be
overlooked in this temperance revival;
they mustdo i ight towards the church.
Tbe church isgwiih the temperarce
cause, and the cause must he with the
church io succeed. He closed bis re
marks by making a strong appeal for
all to sign the pledge. | At the close uf
hisremarks Prof.Qweeuey.sang "Dont
sell my Father Hum."
•MY. Samuel p. Godwin, was then
introducer), but
the traiu. his remarks w
be wished to cstch
very shoit
but to the poiut. Iu el ising ne said
that he would return at some future
lime and address the citizens ot Wil
mington at greater leugih.
Tue meeting was dismissed with
prayer by Rev. Mr. Fortin-to, singing

For the Gazette.
Ma. Editor:—I t is evident from wbat
is now taking place in our country, that
it was a mistake to do away with the
militia law.
As a standing army is objectionable,
there is no other way to maintain a force
adequate to preserve order, than to
organise and army the militia.
The best way to preserve peace is al
ways to be prepared for war.
And if the large majority of raeD arc
ready at a moment's notice to turn out
and suppress disorder, there will be no
riot.
The senes of riots now occurring in
Pennsylvania, will in the end, cost more
money than it would have taken to
have armed the State.
There is no necessity to wear uni
formed. A simple badge is all that,
would l>e required. Men should reflect,
that though these riots may be tempor
arily suppressed, the elements that
produced them are still among ns. Men
cannot expect to lay by in indolence and
depend on some one else to preserve
their property.
It would be the truest economy for
the legislatures of all the States to meet
at once aud pass militia laws.

A witness has been found in Mon

It is Dot yet determined when the

In the Georgia Constitutional Con

About this time last year, another broth
