What Railroads do for Farmers.

To haul forty bushels Of corn fifty
miles on a wagon would cost at least
Sl2 for team, driver and expenses.
a railroad would transport it at 81
at most. Allowing the average Of
forty bushels per acre, the crop
would be worth SO more per acre, or
eight per cent on 500. As the rel.
ative advantage is about the same
for other crops, it is clear that a
railroad passing through a town
would add $40 per acre to the value
Of the farms. A town ten miles
square contains $4,000 acres. An
increase of 800 per acre 10 equal to
SO, 100000, or enough to build 200
miles Of railroad, even if it cost S32,
900 per mile. But 200 miles Of rail.
road would extend through twenty
towns ten miles square, and cost but
$40 per acre if taxed upon the land.
These figures are given merely as an
illustration. If tho farmers are tax.
ed themselves to build all the rail-
roads in this country, and given them
away to any companies that would
stock aud run them, the present in
creAs sed value Of their lands would
have well repaid all the outlay

Working Nations Rule.

The Hon. Mr.. Coburn of indiana,
uttered some noble truths when dis
cussing in Congress the bill for the
removal of all political disabilities
from Southern gentlemen
"The true representative Of the
South, said Mr.. 0o0urn, "is the la
boring man, the man Of yigor, the
man of nerve, the man Of business,
the man ofenterprise, the self. reliant,
independent, active, hard-woIking
American; not the impotent. coneeit-
ed child Of slavery, too proud to
work, too feeble to shift for himself,
just the man to banker for official
position. The man who works must
rule. Labor hardens his muscle.
steadies his nerves, clears his brain,
gives him confidence, patience. activ
ity aud ingenuity. Responsibility
makes robust his intellect, aud mrkes
mshly his character. The working
nations rule the world; 30 the work
