over wider basis. The Festiniog railway
in Wales, with gauge of foot IL! inches,
has wagons ON it for carrying timber which
weig 10 owt, and they frequently carry a
load of three and n half tons at speed of
twelve miles an hour. In other words,
they carry sic times their O,Cn aOeight. willis t
the best wagons on the ordinary English
roads do not car1y as much as twice their
weight.
MIR. Fairlie's idea seems to be not only to
introduce system of lateral roads, With
very narrow gauges like the Festiniog, as
feeders to the main lines but he believes
that the main lines themselves ought to
have gauge of three feet instead OF four
feet eight and half inches. The vast re-
volution which will be effected in our rail
road system. if these views are even par
TALLY realized, it would be difficult to COM
pute. When we consider the present de
mand-nay, necessity for railroads to de-
velop our own section, and the poverty OF
our people. we should investigate this new
system with much care. We must have
railroads to increase the population and
wealth of our sparsely settled districts. We
have not the ability to construct the old.
costly style of railroads. The narrow
gauge presents the opportunity TO extri-
cate ourselves from the difficulties of our
situation. Will we avail ourselves of it

From the New Orleans Times
Prospects of Southern Staples and L.h.-
For several years after the war il wa.
confidently prophesied that the cottor
crop of the South would never exceed
2, 500, 900 bales. 1t is now less than Az
years since the war and the crop approaches
so near to four millions of bales "a n
justify many sagacious persons in wagering
on that figure. The lowest estimate Is
3, 100, 600 bales. This, too. upon q verv
loose and incomplete picking. with many
fields abandoned for the want of laborers
to pick the opened bolls.
The reflect rs suggested by this result
are interesting and valuable. 1t is obviops
that there is lubOr suffici. NJ Ia the South IN
raise as much cotton as the world demands
or needs, and tina tho production is M
longer limited by the lack of labor. 1t -
equally clear that the labor can be mada
available as long as theiprice OF The prodnct
is remuneIative. At what price it can no
made remuneratiye Is to be Determined bv
many facts and considerations Ii thu
prices of suppliestand provisions do not de-
cline in an equal ratio with that of cot
ton, the planters cannot pay for the labor
the hieh rates paid the past and previous
seasons. Either, therefore, tue prodnc.
ton or the rates of labor must be reduced
1t is better for all parties that the labor
should be reduced, SO as to produce per.
manency and regularity, aud at the same
time secure the means Of comfortable sub
sistence to the laborers, than that h, tie
abandonment Of this crrp, these Iaborers
should be driven from the plantations and
compelled to pursue q vegraGt life. Il
was the high rate of cotton which SO up
settled our labor during the last year by
drawing the laborers from the sugar
plantation to the cotton. No one
BALI of the sugar crop could be
realized, from the scarcity Of labor
With q good cultivation in the spring and
summer, the cane would have yielded
third more than it did. But cotton paid
SO much better that the old hands were at
tracted to the cotton fields. The rapid and
large decline i'll cotton had driven them
back to their old plantations, and for su-
gar culture the prospects of a good cult
walton this year, and of an abundance of
labor are far better than they were last
season. Is it not better that the laborer
should remain on the plantation to which
he is attached, where he has his home
stead, his family and friends, than be
drawn away by small advance in the price
of labor, to a new and strange place, and
exposed to the contingency of reduction
in the rates of his labor
The great prosperity Of the South. and
the welfare of the planters as we'll as the
laborers, will. we think, be alike promoted
by fixed and regular, even if lower rate
Of prices than That Of the seasons previous
to the present. Better small profits than
constant aud sudden fluctuations.

The Narrow Gauge.

More and more attention seems to be
drawn 10 the narrow gauge railroads. In
deed Mr.. Robert F. Fairlie G. E., of Eng.
land, who has given the subject thorough
examination, prefers the three-foot' gauge
to the broad gauge on the main routes
He was recently invited to it. Petersburg
by the Gear, and afterwards an Imperial
commission from Russia attended q con-
ference in London as q consequence of
these discussions the Gar has ordered a
narrow gauge road to be built in Russia
we presume as an experiment.
The State of Ohio, which is always
among the foremost IN the march of i'm
provement, is moving in the matter. A
company has been organized with a CAPT
tai of $500, 900, to build line between
Piqua and Celina, through Miami, Shelby,
Anglazaine and Mercer counties. The
plan is identical with that of the Welsh
roads. The right of way is to be Is feet
instead of 40 feet (as required by our
present roads,; 90 Id. mon instead of Sc 10.
iron will be used; the locomotives will
weigh tons instead of 80, and will draw
from 10 to 90 loaded freight cars, each
having capacity of two and half tons.
The passenger cars will be constructed to
carry twenty persons.
A narrow-guage road is already in sue
cessful operation in Ohio, between Akron
and Massillon. It is used for transporting
coal. In Canada an extensive system of
-
Toronto, as feeders to the trunk lines CEN
tering there. The projectors of the Buffalo
and Springfield road are also examining
the Canada system with Wow to the
adoption Of the narrow gauge.
The cost of construction OF narrow
gauge road g feet) is estimated by Mr..
Fairlie to be ome-haJf the cost of feet
81 inch gauge. In other words two miles
can be built in the place of one. Mr. Fair
lie states that these lines (the feet gauge)
when finished and equipped, would possess
a carrying capacity equal to, if not greater
than that of the broad-gauge roads. In
other words they would carry as many pas
sengers and tons of goods in twenty-four
hours as the best lines now in England !;
and that this would be done at greatly
reduced cost, independently of the reduced
wear and tear of the permanent way, and
Of the value of the increased life of the
rail.
This is illustrated in the following man
aer 1t is a recognized fact that the pro.
portion of non-payiug to paying weight in
