RAILWAYS AND THEIR CREATIoN OF WEALTH. If

quite voluminous, and after ALL perhaps, find his
labors thrown away because such facts are not

than invite them to build more railways We should
caution them to beware of that dangerous reaction
which always follows the strength of the fever
There Is natural law in operation in the human
economy in trade and everything else, which it is
dangerous to forget or tamper with. Prudent men
know this and generally act upon though sometimes
they forget its full influence. In the operation of
our railway system, certain matters have transpred
which are worth repeating, and we shall speak OF
few OF them just for the interest that railway men
may feel in the general subject.
In comparing the census of Massachusetts, of 1910
with that of 1850, several facts found, showing
the influence of railways. The valuation of the State
doubled IN that PERIOD going from $500 OOO, 600 to
5000 OOO,O 900; we say doubled, because the census
returns so indicate, but had said trebled it would
probably be nearer right, for, grow rich, the
more apt are they to conceal the amount Of their
wealth. Among other things noticeable was the fact
there were seventy-two towns in which the popula-
ton did not increase from 1910 to 1850. They
all agricultural towns, not enjoying railway facilities.
A number of these rural places contained more in
habitants in 1880 even than they did in 1850 This
fact may be accounted for by the fact that,

The scarcity and consequent rise in value of silver
is thus accounted for by Mr.. DIsrael the late Eng
lish Chancellor of the Exchequer:
First, while the annual production of gold has
quadrupled the yield of the silver mines has remained
stationary, and as the influx of gold has given an
immense expansion to business of all kinds, and in
creased the demand for every commodity, silver be-
ing no more plentiful than formerly, has be-
come proportionately scarce. Secondly, in Holland
and some other European States silver is the stand
ard of value and hence the of expectation to
those countries the importation from them, has
to be paid for in silver coin. Thirdly, and chiefly in
India gold coin is not known among the natives from
whom the commodities of commerce are purchased,
nor is gold in that country legal tender; and the
excess of Indian expectation over Importation is
ceedingy great there is an enormous drain of silver
from Europe and America, to pay for the excess In
the year 1852 England alone sent fifteen millions Of
dollars in silver to India Mr. israeli proposes, as
remedy to the growing scarcity of silver that gold
be made the standard of value and legal tender
throughout the British possessions in the Oriental
world. s. s.

"There is large number of visitors now enjoy

We heard gentleman from Memphis remark few
days SINCE that if there rail road facilities for

Mississippi would send their thousands to the noun
tains of Western North Carolina to enjoy unri-
vailed climate. The citizens of those States have
heretofore generally spent their summers at the fash
ionable watering places North but the illberal and
unjust course of many of the Northern people to-
wards the South, has determined many Southerners
never again to lavish their money upon their worst
enemies. Hence their eyes are turned to Western
Carolina where all the advantages of Northern tour
may be enjoyed without mourning any of its risks"
We can add our testimony to the healthiness and
delightful atmosphere of our western mountains
The climate is indeed unrivalled and the scenery in
attractveness is quite equal to the climate elook

There are great many of our Eastern citizens who

reflection there is really nothing to be surprised at
What ground had the Wing party to stand upon
what principle to battle for? Nothing but Distribu
ton. All their old measures had been abandoned,
with this exception and the people are becoming too
well informed to adhere bindly to party without
principle. And even as to the Distribution ques-
ton, the people have set an emphatic seal of con-
domination upon it, that nothing is left to the
Wings but to chew the cud of disappointment
Hence not surprised at the decision of the
