The EFFECT OF RAnwArs.-The Wheel

The EFFECT OF RAMwAYs.-The Wheel
ing lntelligencer says that no man can long
continue skeptic as to the effect of railroads
on the general development and prosperity of
the country through which they pass, who
will take the trouble to keep his eyes open
while passing along the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. At every station almost, neat
and thriving village IS sprioging up, in many
places towns, while the entire country wears
n new countenance under the vigorous efforts
of the husbandman, who now finds market
for his products, place of purchase for his
wants, and in every way calculated to reward
his honest toll. Heretofore he could barely
live by consuming what he made and making
what he consumed; now the market is at his
door, and he can sell all that he makes, and
more than buy with his receipts all that he
wants. The price of land has increased cent
per cont. in many places, while the general
tendency of everything is to go ahead
Counties can observe, profit, and learn hence
that their corporate subscriptions are repaid
them with interest the moment such works
are completed, even should the stock not pay
one per cent. or sell for twenty per cent on
first cost.

The RAILWAY AND THE PUBLlc.-The
American Railwa Times has an excellent
article about the opposition to quarrel at the
Railways and prizes of freight, from which
we take the following extract, and commend
1t to the attentionof the fogies and Others in
this section:
awe have as srong feeling against the
railway enterprise hat is managed so as to
derraud the publicas have the thousand and
one writers in diiieent papers who berate the
management of ou railway enterprises, and
pretend that thew che writers) represent the
great public. Wehave always argued in IA
yor of low or moderate tariffs for both freight
and passengers, bu at the same time we have
cautioned our managers against the folly OF
putting their fares 20 low as to run the whole
thing into the ground. We have always been
in favor of that kind Of tariff of prices that
would not be too high to check the great and
growing transportation movement OF the
country, and still not so low as to prevent
paying shareholders fair per centage Of in
terest upon their investment. And so far as
we have seen, our managers have conformed
to this general idea. If there has been any
exception to the rule, il has always-with an
exception or two-beeh in favor Of the pub
lie, the fares have been too low, especially
has this been the case during the past two
years. During that period, everything con-
nected with the management and operation of
railway property has appreciated in price from
twenty TO fifty per cent Labor has gone up
in price, so has wood, Gil, machinery, iron, and
in fact every one of the great number of artl-
cIes that go to make up the operating expen-
ses of our railways. Co-existent with this
advance in the price ofrailway material s the
rise in every other species of real property
produce and manufactures. Flour has gone
up n hundred per cent; and corn, oats, beef
pork, and almost everything else has gone up
correspondence. Do the parties who grow
and own these staple articles of commerce
object to the rise in price so far us they are
personally concerned! Not at all! They are
making fortunes out of the rise, and are
greediy and constantly looking for even q
greater rise. And so it is with everything and
everybody. The aborcr wants higher wages
for his days work, the professional man more
for his services, and the capitalist higher
rate of usury for his money, and what is more
they all get it. Every element or article Of
labor, commerce and manufactures, now com
mands a high price, and is paid too without
grumbling.

has heretofore stalked, confident and defiant
wherever the edict of the bully-gOverned
copcus has decided nominations aud appoint
ments, and ruled with a rude, yet iron hand,
the rank and file of the peOpe-led like
sheep to the slaughter-at the ballot-box, all
is dismay and trembling. The mounting I'M
audience, so brazer and brow-beating until

has risen up in the land, invisible and secret
rs sleeping lightning, to rebuke and punish
the traders and traitors who have so long cor
rupted the national franchise, and brought
the country to shame-and nigh to ruin.
Who is it-what is it-and where is it
this scourge, so poteH and purifying? Who
conceived it-who cooked it-and how and
where is it to end, if indeed, il end at all!-
Mighty and mysterious scourge! preceded by
no rumbling, yet it stirs the land, bursting
like sudden earthquake wherever its fires
are called to purge freedoms palladium, and
