The following very sensible article is

be found interesting to every citizen and
especially TO our farmers who nave TO
suffer from the exorbitant Railroad
rates for carrying grain to the Hast
When it is notorious that the railway
routes from the West to the East are so
inadequate to the transportation Of the
freight offered, that they cannot take
more than one ton in four, it is useless to
talk of low rates of freight to the sea
board. The time has, however, now
come when the railroads Of the North
western system must themselves unite
and give their energies to the establish
rlent of : route which, while admitting
transportation at low rates, will be suf-
icient to carry off every pound of freight
brought from the interior to the lake
ports. So long as there is a limit upon
the amount that can be transported
hence, so long there must be limit up
on the business of ali these roads They
are all interested in cheap transportation
to The East. Whatever may have been
their alliances with the Eastern roads,
their interests are those of the people Of
these States.
What they need, and must have, is q
cheaper freight rate east OF Chicago than,
in the opiliun of Gus best railway mana
gers. il viii ever be possible for any mum
Der ct railways to the seaboard to give
The average all rail freight on corn last
year to New York was 29l cents per
bushel, and 81 ! for wheat The opinion
Of those best experienced IL such matters
is, that it never can be reduced 10y rail
below 20 ceats per buShel, while the
