The Farmers War against Tsaiirav,

The Farmers IIar against Railways
In Illinois particu larry and in the Western
States generally systematic agitation has be
gan among the farmers to secure tho passage
Of laws to regulate the tolls charged for pass
engers and freight. This is but the beginning
Of long and bitter fight between the produc
ers and the carriers Of passengers and freight
1t is in the nature OF a strike against the ex
torhons Of organized capital, which necessarily
will produce inconvenience and losses to botl
parties Agitation legislation, and litigation
will follow in quick succession then will come
evasions and more legislation, an appeal to tht
Supreme Court of the United States and finally
n combination and consolidation OF both in
terests.
After ten-year struggle 1t will be found
that isolated State legislation cannot check the
evil because IL products are to be delivered al
New York, local legislation OF the several States,
unless uniform, cannot afford relief. After
this has become manifest the General Govern
ment VII DO appealed to, and the local struggle
will be nationalized. Agitation. legislation,
evasion, and litigation will again follow, and
Government will be urged to construct double
track road beds for the purpose OF permitting
every citizen to run freight train under certain
regulations as to speed and on the payment
OF moderate toll and finally the Govern
ment hero Will have to do, what most govern
ments on the continent have DONE and what
the English Government is about to do-take
the railways at a valuation, and run them for
the sole benefit and convenience of the people.
We know full we'll that it would be waste
OF words to urge this remedy at this time. II
The American nation is noted for one thing
more than for all others, it is, that 1t will not
accept the experience OF other people III mat
ters OF tariffs, taxations, telegraphs, or rail-
ways, but that it insists in working out Its own
destiny THIS 10 costly to be sure, but when
we have once settled on principle, drawn from
our dear-bought experience. we hold on to it
all the more intelligently and tenaciously,
We have no doubt but the farmers have the
right on their side. The railways have of late
given the least comfort, safety, and accommo-
dation for the most money. and the sooner
our railway princes discover that they cannot
impose upon the community with perfect i'm
muDty the better.
Thus FAR the resolutions Of the farmers have
been earnest but temperate, and it would BIZ
we'll ii the railway managers would come to-
gether, and inaugurate friendly conference
and measures to abate as many OF the just
grievances of the public as possible.
Cine of the great difficulties under which ell
railways labor is the fact tha. TIE stock and
mortgage bonds together represent a fictitious
indebtedness, Many railway which could
be built for sf25 900 to the mile and fully equip
ped, s crippled By an indebtedness Of twice
that sum per mile. This fictitious value must
first be wiped out before relief can be obtained.

The following statement of the shipments
from Knoxville, of produce, manufactures
and coal, for the year ending June 30, 1873,
is compiled from the books Of the local
AGENT of the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Geor.ia Railrosd, and is as nearly correct
as it is possible to make it. The tgules
are instructive as showing the rapid in
cressa in the value of manufactured iron
and in coal, which already, in value,
amounts to about thirty per cent. OF the en-
tire exports of the city. These interests ale
RAPIDLY INCREASING and should the ratio OF
increase for the next year be as great as Tor
the last (and we have every reason TO De-

the MAJ ket. Another curious TACT VIII De
observed, that while the total value OF the
corn shipped is S16.60260, the item ofeggs
foots up 81, $4,000, or mora than the value
OF the corn and hay together. Dried fruit,
as will be seen, brings sos, ll5.6o, or four
times as much as the corn.
Separating from the farm products those
