TnE CAUSE or TaE REVIVAL OF BUSINESS.

THE CAUSE Of THE REVIVAL OF BUSINESS
we have seen, IN certain journals, the preient rev-
val OF business ascrbed TO the Tariff which pass
ed year and halt ago. According TO these political
economists, the country his Just begun TO fee the be-
nehcia effect of the high duties imposed by bene
Violence of Congress That our trade has grown more
active, say they, is owing 10 the letters With have
been fastened upon it. They are of that scho,l, who
believe that the more weight carries, the ster he
is able to run.
1t is true, that Tariff, imposing most extrbitant
duties, has been passed, and II true also, that after
period Of extreme DEPRESSION succeeding the ADOPTION
OF the Tariff, business has somewhat revived But il
does not follow that, because The Tariff PREVIOUS
III point Of tme that therefore the cause Of the
activity which we witness. The countyman
who believed that Newington eleeple was the cause
OF Good~yn Sands, because The steeple wa, first
built and then the sands began encroach on tn, sea,
was logclan of the class with these re nds of
the Tariff.
The truth of the matteris, that such revival of ous
ness as we have is not in consequence of the Tariff,
but in spite of it, The Tariff was imposed at a time,
when a severe commercial depression, owing TO ur
causes which it is not necessary here TO enune-
rate, was upon the country. The Tariff rendered the
depression still more severe breaking up, did, the
existing commercial arrangements, check ng impor-
taons, and throwing upon The agricultural interest the
whole expense OF our shipping, which carried their
plus produce TO foreign countries and brought nothing
back.
But with the great resources OF our country, and
the enterprise and industry of citizens the depres.
sion of business could not last forever We knew that
must buy and sell, and consume and 10 l. and give
and receive wages, and form and execute plans Of bu
siness which would call forth these resources and
employ this enterprise. The depression went on, how
ever until II had reached its lowest pont-a lower one
doubtless, than if the Tariff had never passed-and
the re action, long foretold and waited for has
commenced. This is the simple explanation of what
has occurred All men who give themselves the trouble
nf the
raj relation of cause and effect-know very well that
the business of country cannot be rendered
tive by clogging with monopoles by breaking up its
customary arrangements, and by rendering part of lis
capital useless, and divertng the rest 10 new pur-
poses These are all causes OF loss, of dscouragemen
and OF naction, and all of these 10 be found in
the new Tariff.
That with this burden wanionly and oppressively
cast upon it, the commerce of the country should
viye and give promise of still greater activity, only
proves the extent Of the resources which our
possesses and the ingenuity and industry of our peo

BRATTLEBoRo AND FITCHBURG RAIL
ROAD

We are happy TO announce to our readers, that
the Bill to incorporate the Bratteboro and Fitch
burg Rail Road Company has passed both Houses
of our Legislature. 1t has passed too without any
of those restrictions, which some of the members
attempted TO have attached to it, and which might
have materially affected the success of the enter
prize The bill, we believe is entirely satisfactory
to the petitioners. 1t will PROFESSIONALLY receive
the signature of the Governor. Thus one good
step is already taken towards the accomplishment
of this important project. We learn that the sur
vey, which is now making of the various routes be-
this place and Fiichburg has thus far proved
favorable. We understand that from Fitclburg to
A,hol the rise will in instance be fifty feet
to the mile. And it is we'll ascertained that the
route from that place down Miller's river, and up
through Mortified to Brattleboro, is feasible With
regard to the other routes that have been talked of
we have not yet had definite information. 1t now
remains for the citizens of Brateboro and vicinity,
TO arouse to immediate and vigorous action. 1t is
of immense importance to them that this Rail Road
be made, and made without delay. Now is the
time to urge the project with energy and zeal
Labor is abundant, wages reasonable, materials low
in price, aud money plenty, seeking investments.
The owners of real estate in this village and neigh
borhood must be sensible of the difference that a
Rail Road will make in the value of their property.
1t will increase its value at least IS per cent But
if Rail Road should not come TO this place. their
property will unquestionably be diminished in val
ue for in that case, merchants and mechanics will
seek more favorable locations for business and the
farmers in the neighborhood will be obliged to seek
other markets for their produce. By means of 9TH
er rail roads, distant parts of the country are
brought near to good markets the people of this
section of the country cannot compete with those of
other sections, unless they have like facilities for
transportation. Let Rail Road connect the val
ley of the Connecticut with Boston and
spur will be given to every kind of business in this
part of the country Manufactures will increase,
which will afford additional home markets for ng-
ricutura products This will stimulate farmers to
improve their lands and make them more product
i've. Mechanics will find greater demand for their
labor, and tradesmen customers entering
their shops. And when the vast resources of our
valleys and mountains, developed and undeyeloped,
are taken into consideration there be but little
doubt in the minds of rejecting and intelligent
men, that the business for a rail road from Connec-
ticut river to Boston will be sufficient to make the
road productive property to the owners.
