counts for the enormous price Of clothing
If Mr.. Arch had come here under the low
tariff Of fifteen years ago he would have
seen still greater proSpcrity-the same
cheap lands. good living and Astounding
contentment-with the additional advan-
tage OF clothing at Il fair rate. The ''vast
areas of land awaiting the hands of labor
are the causes of that happy prosperity
which the Post 50 we'll describes, and of
which every American may well be proud
The English champion Of labor will see

ana which is rapidly driven of from q naked

preserve the Ammonia, the sklll!ul farmer
p0ws his manure shortly after it IS spread up

7he matter Of transportation is now one of
the most vital character. We are opening TO
cultivation every d"y new regions. Corn raised
in Iowa, along the lines of the railways. does
no. yield the producer first cost. What are
those farmers who live two or three hundred
mics further to do with their surplus.
There are thousands of farmers III Illinois,
with more than An average crop, will not re-
ceive for It enough money to pay their taxes.
The farmers OF the West would now better of
If they had let one half their land lie idle last
year, They would certainly have got better
prices for the corn they did raise, and would
have saved the expense wasted on the rest of
their land. The loss in producing grain in
1872 is partly due 20 the unusual supply, and
partly 20 the increase in the cos: OF transport
tation. The capital stocks OF the leading rail.
roads of the country have been since the close
Of the war, extensively watered ID some in
stances to the extent of 100 per cent, and the
average has not been less than 50 per cent.
Another reason for the increased cost OF
transportation, ia the increased cost in all the
materials used IN the construction o; railways
The prices Of iron and steel have advanced
within the past year beyond all precedent. The
iron for the roads has been with the C0mpa-
MES Thesc bonds have been guaranteed tn a
large cXten. by other railways, who have be
come lcssees, or otherwise the practical owners
or operators Of the new lines The same eI-
t1aordinary construction OF additional rail-
ways do not pay more than the cost OF opera
ting them they are, therefore, a charge upon
the trunk lines that indorsed their bonds, or
become lessees The interest on their aggrc-
gate debt is enormous, and to pay that inter
es:. and TO pay dividends on the capital thus
invested, the rates Of transportation have been
advanced.
Underlying all this however, and more po-
tent than all, is the fact that our eastward
lines Of transportation have not kept pace
wit. the development, and settlement OF the
West We have built twenty miles of railway
ives. and northwest o. Lake Michigan, in the
