The Republicans of Spain have made another
enthusiastic and immense demonstration at
Saracossa, willie the Monarchlsts have held
large meetings at Corunna, Fcrrol, and some
other places Both parties arc making the ut
most efforts TO secure a majority in the Con-
stitucnt Assembly. Though the Spaniards were
not accustomed TO a campaign Of this Kind, we
have not heard yet Of any riots, and the con
duet of the electoral campaign has thus lar
been rs crcditable to Spain as the success oil
the revolution. In whatever way the majority
of the Constituent Assembly may ultimately
decide the question of the future Government
of the country the last three months OF Spanish
history cannot fail to prove most instructive
school for the political education ol the people.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1868-11-28

Broddon estimates that to diminish this average
rate of fare to an actual uniform fare OF sd
third class, Cd second class, and is. for first
class fare to any part of the Kingdom, would
increase skiold the present amount OF travel
and so increase the aggregate earnings OF the
railroads from G14,75O0OO to G32,OOOOOO. This
estimate only assumes that a reduction in the
expense of travel will have as great an effect
TO increase tho amount OF travel as the like
reduction in the postage of letters under Sir
Rowland Hills post Office plan, with its modern
improvements, has had to increase the number
of letters transmitted Experience has shown
that cheap postage brings larger returns than
dear. Some experiments in the reduction OF
fares uron the English railroads strongly CON
firm Mr. BraddOn's argument. A reduction OF
fares to one-sixth their former figure on the
London and Northwestern Railway 80 in
creased the travel in one year that net returns
fell only a slight percentage below the re-
turns under the old fares.
The question how far such a system as Mr.
Braddon proposes is applicable to the United
states is one worthy of earnest consideration
