THE RAILROADS,

There Is much discussion here in
the West about a peculiar topic OF the
fuIure-the removal of the national
capital"
ilYes: II Is matter of railFoads--
Washington Is inaccessible through the
action OF the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road, which is a close monopoly. II is

all State power. 1t is in lthe power
given over commerce. Congress shall
have power to regulate commerce with
foreign nations and among the several
States.' This is an important power.
for the railroads are to be wonderful
element in our development. Already
the value OF the railroalsin the United
StateE is $1,000, 600, O00-sixteen hum
dred millions-but little less than the
national debt, and their receipts are
three times the interest of the debt.
Any one of the four leading railroads
transports property worth $3.50, GOO. 00O

Congress has the power 10 build new
roads, its authority to regulate those
already built is clear. In taking hold
of matters like this we must move
cautiously and with good precedent in

Unless Congress has this power there
will be trouble about 1t by-andssby.

Herdtd had an interview recently with
Hon. John Sherman at his home in
Mansfield, Ohio, during which the
Hon. Senator expressed himself on the
subjects of taxation, funding the debt,
and the Railroads as follows:
THE TAXES.
"Would you make any change in re-
gard to taxationT Pr iJ.l ftfs4 5Ul
"Our present system Is founded on
the experience of England and France.

and imported articles, and as 1t is
cheaply collected, for 1t costs less pro-
pOrtionately to gather Ii than any State
or city tax, or than theLcustonis duties.
An efficient tax depends on tho hon.
esty of the agents, and this. hope,
will be greater under Grant than 1t has
been. L would make taxation touch
exclusively, II possible, important arti-
cles and luxuries, and not the necessa-
ries of life. L would rather apply a
surplus to the payment of the debtthpn

so shaping taxation that 1t shall, 10 "a

duties on Imported goods that can be
