BALTIMORE AND OHio RAGLRoAD.-The Wheel
ing GdzeHe Gays several Of tho contractors were in
that city on Wednesday, from along the line of
tho Baltimore and Ohio railroad. They all agree
in saying that the work ia progressing rapidly,
up in time for running the cars 10y the Let Of Janu
airy next. The same paper states that the entire
stock of the Union Line Of steamboats, from Wheel
ing to Louisville, TO commence running with the
opening OF the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, has
been taken as TO combine the best interests at
both points and intermediate pos,s.
The Baltimore Patriot states that at the last
meeting Of the directors of this company n resolu-
tion adopted authorizing the opening of n
transfer office in the city OF New York. This is
intended 70 facilitate operations in the stoc on the
part Of both buyers aud sellers.

At this point the trade of the country was found
by the tariff of 1872 For three years the whole
quantity Of produce arriving at market had
Inained stationary, in the neighborhood of three
hundred thousand tons, and the average valuc of
the last year was the lowest Of all. We now pro-
ceed to show the working of the tariff of 1912, the
object OF which was that of encouraging the manu-
and soap, and iron and CLOTH and the thousands of
other good things required for the uses of man,

REAL EsTATE lSvgsrMESTs.-Wc understand
that the alteration in the mortgage law, passed in
1851, is opening new aud popular channel for
short or permanent investments. For few years
past II has been quite difficult to borrow money
upon real estate sccurties, owing ~ the "three
years" right Of redemption" Under the present
law, mortgage can pass a perfect title 10 os-
tate in some thirty days. The effect Of this will be
to render loans this class Of securities entirely
safe and available; and while stocks arc 30 luctu
ating, this mode Of investment will secure, as il
properly should, large postion Of the surplus
ney, and enable the ontsrprising mechanic and
other dealers in this kind OF property, who build
up, besuufy, and add taxable property TO the viii
lagcs and cities Of the Common wealth, TO handle
their securities with the facility those who
can invest in stocks which, in many cases, have
proved great loss Of taxable property, and Of
questionable public utihty.-Boston COHip.

In this last year the effect of bringing to market
a large quantity of corn is clearly shown in the re-
duction OF the average price. Without, however,
claiming any allowance for this, we content to
exhibit the extraordinary fact that the quantity
had largely increased from year to year, and that
in the last it was much more than double the av-
erage of the years from 1910 to 1912, with in
crease in the average value, and large increase,

We beg readers to mark the fact that
the total value of the exports Of the West by way
OF the Hudson ia in a gradual course OF decline,
and that il is only eight per cent greater than it
was in ls46, while it il onttiird less than it III
ls47; and then to remark that one year from
1885 to 1912 reached ssUenteen millions; while the
average OF the four succeeding years-those OF the
tariff Of lS42-was tto'nty- tivs millions, and the
last year was almost thirty -four millions; and yet
the system OF that day was, according % the honor
able member, the one that was TO destroy trade;
while that of the present day, under which trade
declines from year TO year. is the one that is to in
crease trade.
The population Of the country that looks to an
outlet on the Hudson might be taken in 1898, the
year in which the honorable member commences
his calculations, at three millions five hundred and
fifty thousand. In lS+0 it was three millions eight
hundred thousand; and in 1850, five millions
hundred thousands
In the first seven years, from 1888 to lS45-those
years that Immediately preceded and followed the
explosion brought about by the revenue tariff of

Need we desire better evidence Of the wonderful
increase in the productive power Of the agricultu
raj population employed in producing food during
tue years in which we were increasing rapidly
the production of hemp. wool. lead, iron, CLOTH
and coal?
Still more remarkable was the change exhibited
by the crop OF 1916, which came TO market in ls47
during which year the continued excitement in
England maintained the prices Of iron and cloth,
and enabled the manufacture Of both TO increase
