Aid To Railroads.

Some people love to raise whine
about aiding railroads by sabsorip
ton and tax. II these good people
only understood themselves they
would never raise another objection
to offering local aid to railroads. The
amount given by communities to rail-
roads is very trifling share OF the
great expense OF building. As tr1f-
lin as that amount is, it has readily
been the cause of the building OF the
many thousands of miles oi rail in
our country, which has made it SO
powerful and the admiration and as
tonishment OF the world.
Be it understood that the capital
which builds our railroads is largely
foreign capital. The capital is invest
ed, that it may be made to pay, and
the people Of this country have to
bring to bear strong evidences that
the roads will pay, for which capital
is asked, before the moncyed men of
Europe will take hold. Capital seeks
to invest itself in lines Of railroads,
through sections Of country already
developed, 30 that there will be no
long Sc. les ofyears to wait for trade
to develop. II the people come for.
ward, ON the line, with liberal sab
scriptions, that is the best evidence
that railroad is needed and that
the people are sufficiently thrifty TO
justify them in giving something in
aid Of these great projects. Mere
representation that . country is rich
to capitalists thounands of miles away
is no evidence but when the strength
Of country is shown by the dollars
that come right ont of it, that Il in
disputable evidence that carries its
point thousands Of miles from homo.
Some OF the most fertile portions Of
the country are langulsh,ng tor want
Of railroads; and all because the peo-
pie are too blind, by little offering
to furnish the evidence which will
bring the steam car to their doors,
and carry their. produce to the great
markets Of the country, with alm-st
the swittncss of the wind.
So mach tor that. Bat We ask
every sensible, broad-minded man
this question "Don't It pay we'll TO
give aid to railroads ?" Figure. on
the advance Of your land before and
after you have = railroad, and then
answer the question. Figure on
competition, reducing rates, and see
where It puts you. Figure on trund-
ling 25 bushels 81 gram to depot,
with two days expended in the effort,
and then figure on putting . dozssl
loads in single day in car at your
doors, aud then answer the question.
Count up your expenses on these
two days trips and absence frem
home. Count on the shrinkage in
stock after driving them 10, 90 or 80
miles; and then count on one, two or
five miles. Take into account thst
when the roacs are impassabls TO the
stations 10 or 90 miles distant is the
very time when you cant travel and
when your produce 10 the best price
Figure all these things and sss
how You will come ont at the end OF
the calculation. BE honest with
yourself and you will admit that any
one Of the above items will more
than pay five per cent taxi Mus
