Railroaaa ana corporationa.

There never was period in the history
of our country, when, what is termed the
"ralIroad fever,H was higher than at the
present time. Every paper almost from
every portion of the country, contnins
calls Cor, or proceedings of Railroad meet
ings; advertisements for contracts, and
notices of the progress and completion Of
certain routes. In fact the importance OF
railroad communication, is everywhere felt,
by our citizens, who are exerting Them
selves, to the full extent, and in many in-
stances, probably, beyond their abilities 70
estend these improvements. The real I'D.
vantage of railroads TO corporations, how.
ever, does not seem to be fully appreciated;
and consequently the strongest opposition
is frequently offered, when cities propose
to aid, by lending their credit, or otherwise,
to the construction of roads. The reason
generally assigned for the opposition, is
that such grants impose on some a heavy
tax, while they do not derive any direct or
immediate benefit from the improvement.
Others argue that railroads enhance the
value of real estate; and consequently
higher rents are charged, thereby increas-
ing the expenses of living in city,. with
out benefiting those who are taxedwith the
latter oxponse.--That there is some ground
for these arguments cannot be denied :.
But where is any great improvement with
out its attendant evilsq TITS admitted that
railroads do enhance the value of real
estate; but this is done by On increase in
business, If we want 10 live in great
city, we must expect to live in business
city-a place gwen up almost entirely to
commerce and manufactures; and to those
who do not enjoy the busy scenes Of
great commercial mart, wide field for re-
tirement is open. But il is foolish to sup
pose, that we can enjoy in the same place,
the advantages and pleasures OF a city
and country.
The increase in the value Of real estate,
therefore, is the result Of an increasing
business, and this is to be attributed to our
railroads and canals; whicn extend through
the surrounding rich and fertile valleys.
Without these improvements Cincinnati
could never have attained to her present
eminence rs commercial and manufac-
turing city; and "stand still policy
now would result in loss Of many ad-
vantages already possessed, by surrender
ing to other sections a trade which we may
and should secure. To show what an eff
feet railroads have upon business, il is only
necessary to refer to the statistics Of New
York and Boston. Until within the past
year, New York has mode no material
direct addition to the circle Of country con-
tributing to her trade; while Boston has
been extending her railroads, which have
drawn off much trade from New York.
The result upon the two cities, is manifest
in the following table, showing their COM
paritive increase in assessed property:
