The introduction of canals and railroads, and
their extension into all parts of the country, is
working change to which many farmers in OIL
der portions look with evident alarm. By these ia
cilites for intercommunication and Transports
ton, the growers Of breadstufls and provisions
on the fertile praries of the vast West are brot
into direct competition with those of the sea
board and interior of the Atlantic States. The
alarm is given, that our farmers cannot stand
such competition, that their business will be
ruined, and the value Of their real estate des
troyed.
In these fears we do not participate. There
may be some inconvenience, and some apparent
present loss, in accommodating ourselves to the
change of circumstances, but we must do it,
whether we will or no, and in our apprehen
sion, it will be done so gradually as to produce
very triflng inconvenience or loss. When it i,
done, we shall find that railroads have done
more to promote the agricultural prosperity o
New England and to enhance the value of tn,
date.
