" Dese changes VIII not only prove OlSaQ-
vantageous to the farmers, but they will
probably work great injury to the com
merce of Chicago. For example, an i'm
pOrtant trade centres at Quincy, on the Dli-
Dois side of the Mississippi river, and Chi
csgo- ard st. Louis have been competitors
for it. Hitherto it las gone to Chicago
over the Burlington road; but the Burning
ton road must now raise IT'S through rates,
Or else carry the intermediate traffic at a
loss, which it cannot afford 10 do; and the
Quincy trade will consequently be diverted
to st. LouiS Indeed it is almost impOssi-
bic to foresee the commeTcisl arrangements
and shifting of business which this law
may involve, if it remain long enough ON
the statute book. At first view it seems to
be iBgeniously calculated to ipjure the farm
eTs, the merchants and certain of the rail-
rOsds alike. Wherever there are two routes
between given points, the shorter must be
favored at the expense Of the other, even
though there may be no difference in the
running time; AMI it will probably be found
in practice that the greater the number of
way stations on a line, the higher will be
the rates between terminal points. A law
that sets all the principles of commerce al
defiance must soon work its own repeal.
I'VE have already explained that freight
law in Illinois will not regulate the cost of.
tran portation to New York or Buffalo. To
give the scheme effect there must be SINH
lar law in every State through which he
farmers produce passes on its way from the
farm to the seahoard. That is what the
Oranges are now trying 10 get. If they
succeed. what will be the result? Why,
the tariff on a bushel of wheat from Iowa
TO the Atlantic viii be fixed, not by esti-
mating the cost Of transportation for the
whole distance, but by taking the sum of
fifty or a hundred local tariffs On wheat,
from one roadside station to another. For
instance, The Chicago, Burlington, and
Quincy road charges, under the new tariff,
1850 cents for transporting 100 pounds of
wheat 100 miles. The cost of transporting
the same quantity at the same rate from
Central Iowa to New York would he about
81 "a or ST. 40 bushel-iust double-the pre-
sent price. This would shut out large
part Of the grain district altogether from the
eastern market, and bring the farmers and
the Western railroads to common aud
speedy ruin. Evidently the West has not
solved the transportation proplem yet"

THE WESTERN rs NSP0R rATION
PRORk.,M


As q general thing it must be confessed
that man is the best judge of his own bus
mess. The people of the West are begin
ming to be doubtful, if the same rule does
not spply TO railroads. The Legislature
has passed law in Illinois forbidding dis
elimination in freights, and this law goes
into effect to-day. But to meet the require
meBts Ct this law, the roads have been COM
PEELED TO charge the same proportional
freight along the whole line. The result
has been that on all competing lines at least
the rates are higher than under the old re-
gime, and good deal of dissatisfaction has
been manifested. Even many Of those who
demanded such law, are now favorable
to its repeal. The New York Tribune
shows very plainly the results of the war of
the Western farmers upon tn? railroad cor.
porations. The article in question is a
brief recital of facts, but its author express
es tho philosophy Of the whole situation in
the last sentence, when he says, evidently
the West has not solved the transportation
problem yet" 1t has not only not done
this, but 'hus far not even suggested way
of Dong it, AS this is a question in which
the readers of this paper are largely inter-
ested, we extract from the Tribune as fol
lows:
"The railroads in Illinois are revising
their freight tariffs 10 c2mply with the pro-
visions Of the new law, which goes in
efltc. on the first Of July. They are re-
quired, as our Tesders know, to establish
S riot pro rata schedule, TO give no prefer
ence to through over local business, or to
wholesale over retail shippers; TO make no
distinction between competing and non
competing point 10 charge, under all cir
Cumstsncea, a higher rate for going ten
miles than for going five. They are COM
PEELED, after establishing q certain rate from
| the starting point to the first station on the
road, to tx different and higher rate for
each subsequent station, without any re-
gard 10 the peculiar demands of trade, or
The Circumstances which make it possible
for q company 10 DO business much cheaper
at one point than another. The effect of
such infleXihle and despotic rule is Of
course just DOW an interesting subject of
speculation. II seems to be understood,
however, that most Of thu farmers viii have
to pay heavier tolls under the new law
than under the old, or else the railroads
mn.t lose money. On the Chicago and
Rock Island road, for instance, the old aud
new rates per hundred pounds for first
class merchandise compare as follows:

CALIFORNIA GRAIN.

The San Francisco Bulletin of the 18th
inst. publishes reports from sixty-nine
interior towns of the State of California,
respecting the grain crops. The prospects
are very discouragiug. In al the places
nearly, an average yield is promised. The
scope of country covered by the reports
comprises all the grain-groWing sections of
the State. In many places harves ing has
already commenced. 1t is estimated that
800 vessels will be required to move the
crop this year. A writer in the Atld Cali
toynid, states that in Tolo county, on the
farm Of Charles f. Reed, is field Of 7UG
a, res, which has crop standing five feet
eight inches in height, and in some in
stances nil ETY. odd stools may be counted
from a single grain, and all the grains are
being well filed out. The land was sum-
mer faIlowed and sown esrly. The lowest
estimate is forty bushels, and some put #
at from fifty to sixty bushels as the average
weld per acre for the entire field.
We have seen and counted sixty heads of
wheat grown from one seed, the crop of
this year in Tennessee, and after counting
the grains in one head, we estimated the
Weld as 5000 for one.

Although "the railroad pimple" has crown
to be pretty bad sore, there are worse
evils affecting the public interests. Sulphuric
acid, indispensable to render South Caro-
ina mineral phosphate soluble in water, so
that crops can lake Il into their circulationl
as food, is made from imported sulphur.
English manufacturers of superphosphats
get sulphur from Sicily, and mineral phos-
plate from South Carolina duty free. Hence
British farmers obtain q valuable fertiliser for
less thSn half what American farmers pay
for the same article. Where the United
States treasury receives one hundred
thousand dollars duty on imported sulphur,
Georgia planters alop pay two million dol
lars extra, this year, to manufacturers of
superphosphate for their protected indus

culture would cesse, and our de-
pleted cid fields be recnperated.
As the laws Of Congress now stand, to
place one dollar into the public treasury by
a tax on imported salt, the cheated public |
pay twenty dollars into the pockets of few
rich salt manufacturers. Protection means
to rob the millions who are consumers, to
make few manufacturers worth millions
each. This alone explains the reason Why
an American fertilizer costs $50 per cent.
more in the United States than in England. |
