Bring the Consumer near the Producer.

This maxim will accomplish much in the pros
perity of all classes When man can sell what he
raises or what he makes, at once, without being
obliged to have access to foreign market he will
be much more encouraged in his labor, and insti-
gated to greater zeal in its pursuit. But where the
market is remote, and much time consumed in
bringing his surplus to sale, the producer does
not feel that immediate encouragement so necessary
to success in every business. The farmer must
himself send his produce to market, when that
market is remote but when near, the consumer
himself will take it from his hands, and save him
both time and transportation.
The construction of railroads and the encourage
ment of manufactures will produce this desideratum,
will bring the consumer nearer the producer, and,
therefore, increase the value of the products of the
latter. With regard to the fret, our citizens seem
already understand their true interests and rail
roads are springing up all over the country; whcr
ever they exist the price of real estate is raised
the surplus produce of the farmer is brought TO
market AT higher prices, new markets are opened
that before out Of the reach of the producer,
and trade and employment wonderfully in
creased. But with regard TO the latter means OF
bringing consumers nearer To the producers, our
Government seems resolved 10 pursue suicidal
policy Instead of laying such duties the results
of foreign laborcrs viii protect our own work
men, as 20 encourage the building of small factories
on all our watcr-courscs and thus raise up the
dition of the agricultural community near them,
they are flinging all their encouragement to the
pauper labor Of England, and Withholding 1t from
our own hard working men, for fear that some few
manufacturers may possibly become wealthy. 1t is
true that our large establishments have been ena-
blcd to work and make profit under the tariff
of 1876 but the operations of that law have crushed
many of the smaller factories that were beginning
10 bring prosperity into remote sections of the
country; result as ruinous to the farmer and la
borer, as il 10 the manufactureT.-Hmt. Cosr

The VELOCITY OF ELECTRICAL WAvEs.-Some
ingenious experiments have been performed at the
magnetic telegraph, to ascertain if there be any
sensible time occupied in the transmission OF the
current Of electricity between the two
points where relative longitudes required. If
there be sensible velocity, it must involve cor
recton for the difference of longitude as deter
mined by star signals passed along the waves or
through the ground by electrical currents between
the two observatories. Thus far, Prof. Mitchell
says all results tend TO the conclusion that there Is
no sensible wave time. Other methods may lead
to different conclusion Experiments performed
some months since by Mr.. Walker lead that gen
tleman to believe he had detected and measured a
wave time. The subject is interesting, and now be-
comes important element III the determine
ton of longitudes by the magnetic telegraph.
