perchance, it m9y raise the credit of the

GOVERNMENT PURCHASE OF RAIL.
WAYS

The British QuGrterIy Reuie1o for April
contains an article on "The Government
Purchase of Railway" a subject that has
received more discussion in England than
in this country. The writer in the ReUiea0
is opposed to such purchase. "The time
has come when the nation at large should
begin to concern itself with the position and
prospects Of matter of so much moment,
and when information should be supplied
that will lead to an intelligent answer being
given to this question: Shall the State
purchase tho railwsys?' For this is not a
subject merely fer statesmen,or sharehold-
ers, or speculators-not one of merely theo-
retical interest, orp1rty politics Every man
who travels or trades, every one who deals
in, or consumes the products of the manu-
factory, or the soil, or the sea, will be i'm
mediately affected, in every transaction of
life, by the wise or unwise solu ion Of this
great national problem"
The above is fair and succinct state
ment of the case; and all the facts apply to
Government railways and transportation in
the United States, as well as in Great
Britain. 1t often costs more to transport a
bushel of corn or wheat from the field that
produces it to the distant consumer, than 10
raise the grain. Our Government, with
any quantity of public lands, might, per-
hsps, as well un 'ertake to raise breadstuffs
and provisions for all, as TO perform the al
most equal labor Of transportation over a
vast territory, carrying goods, wares, mer-
chandise and persons, for pay rs official
business. The American mind is not pre-
pared for such step; and railways and
their officers must be controlled by proper
legislation. If present laws are defective,
or easily evaded to the public injury,
they should be amended or
new ones enacted. Railway
operations must be studied by all classes of
citizens that they may know when they are
fairly treated and when not. An ignorant
man may be cheated without knowing it,
or be may complain of i'll treatment when
be has received none. Thorough business
knowledge will check extortion and develop
healthy public sentiment. Without the
salutary influence that knowledge and pub
lie virtue give, all governments become cor
rupt, and men in Office are the greatest
robbers. There is no substitute for popu-
lar intelligence and sound morality, es
pecially in republican nation. Bad
men obtain high offices by bribing
some politicians and cheating others.
A counterfeit statesman so aearly resembles
the genuine article, that the best judges of
human nature may be deceived, and mis-

we call the attention Of the citizens OF
Nashville and Edgefald, and especially Of
The members of the two committees, to the
Importance Of exertlng themselves to-mor-
row in the good work in which they are en-
gagged. It is with regret we-learn that
some Of the Committeeman appointed have
never solicited a subscription. 1t is with
greater regret that we learn that some OF
those of our citizens who are most
interested in the prosperity of the
city and most able to help,
have refused TO donate a dime. But
then we have the pleasure Of saying that
We have heard some Of our citizens say that
they were anxious to subscribe If they
could meet some of the committee. One
gentleman told us that he was willing to
subscribe two hundred and fifty dollars as
q business investment. This is view
which every business man may very prop
erly take. There are many of
this sort, for larger or n smaller
amounts, who are only waiting for the COM
nlittesmen to 60 out and show that they at
least feel some interest in the enterprise.
We hope that we SHALL not have to report
in our next issue that the citizens are still
inquiring for the committeeman. Gentle
men of the committees, Wake up. What
you do tomorrow before 4 o'clock Ia the
afternoon, may determine whether the loca-
ton shall be in Nashville or Edgetield, or
neither. E#F.

A large part of the iron roads through
the country should be public highways like
our navigable rivers. When steamers pass
lock they pay toll; boats do the same on

The Erie Canal is as much public high

There would be no street cars with iron
tcacks-if iron ways we're not regarded as
better than rough, broken rock, which is
better than dirt and deep mud. Give a
farmer nearly level and very smooth iron
track for bis wagon, and one horse will
bring into our city as many thousand
pounds at load as four horses do over our
pixies. This will reduce the prize of fire.
wood one-half, and bring down the cost of
potatoes, vegetables and provisione in about
the same proportion. 1t was cheap trans
portation that gave New York State pOpu-
lation Of nearly five million.
What is the minimum cost of transport
ing 1000 tons of iron ore and coal 100 miles
on the cheapest ana best iron or steel track
that can be laid? Men who hold real estate
in Nashville may probably consider the
above question. No manufacturing indus
try can long flourish without cheap raw
material Capitalists have made a good
deal ofsteol in Boston from the local advaE-
tsge of getting labor which was required;
but thisis rather an exception. Our policy
should be to employ all the labor at hand
in manufactures; when more will soon
come in if needed. 1t is not wise to wait

SOME English statistician has been COM
putting the public debts Of the nations Of
tie word. He puts France at the head OF
the list with burden of S5,000,000, 900,
the sad legacy of the German conflict.
1reat Britain follows with So, 100000,
and the United States comes third with a
debt of over S2,OOO,OOO,OOO. The aggre-
gate public debts Of all the governments of
the world amount 10 the enormous sum Of
S20,OOO,GOO,O0 an amount SO vast as 10 be
almost incomprehensible. When we come to
add to this the debts ofStaies, proVinces,m
inequalities, villages, corporations and individ
uals, we have mountain of Indebtedness
perfectly appalling. And the worst of it is
that, though nations and individuals are
bankrupt, they are going on piling up more
liabilities year after year. Some day this
bubble will burst, and then what?
