in many instances absolutely destructive,
to certain interests. To high charges for
freight, in great degree, and partially to
insufficient avenues for the vastly Increased
traffic Of the country, is the mischief to be
Eattributed, and the resolutions recognize
that relief from these evils is the great ma
tional want of the present day. An ur-
gent call is made for State and Congress
ional legislation to control and limit by
law the rates and charges of existing lines
of transportation, to increase the capacity
of water and by rail to meet the greatly
augmented demands for transit. The duty
of government interference in these mat
tiers is asserted, upon the ground that
cheap nter-communication by freight and
passage is essential to the welfare and
prosperity of the country, as well as to the
preservation Of harmonious and cordial re-
lations between the people of the different
sections. The resolutions also lay it down
as an axiom of wise craftsmanship that
the producers rs we'll as the consumers
should be relieved from all arbitrary and
unnecessary taxes imposed upon the free
interchange of products, and the reform
ing hand of government is invoked to
bring back the railroad system to the le-
ultimate objects for which it was original
ly established and endowed with chartered
and special privileges.

CHEAP TRANSFORMATIONS.

The feeling in favor of cheaper trans
portation, which is more active in the Yves
than the East. was significantly expressed
by the assembling of the late convention
In New York and the proceedings which
followed. The delegates represented
nearly all parts Of the country and mos,
Of the producing interests. The leading
object Of the meeting was to organize a
national association, with branches extend
ing into all the States, for the purpose OF
cheapening and equalizing railroad and
other internal transportation throughout
the United States. An organization was
effected under the name of the National
American Cheap Transportation Associa.
citation, a constitution and bylaws were
adopted. and officers elected. Hon. Jo-
siah Quincy of Massachusetts, was elected
President, and twenty-five Vice Presidents
were elected. each from different State.
The constitution provides for the organi-
cation Of subordinate associations in each
State Of the Union, and an executive com.
mittes was designated with power to call
future meetings. A special committe was
also appointed to prepare and issue an ad-
dress to the country, President Quincy,
says the Boston Globe upon assuming the
duties OF the chair, stated that he felt very
keeniy the danger with which the country
was menaced from railroad monopolies
and fully appreciated the Importance of
the popular movement which was under
consideration. He thought that something
should be done to overthrow the power.
now exercised by a few men, of debating
the price which the people of the East
should pay for food, when the great gran.
aries Of the West had more than enough
to supply the wants Of all. As it was, II
depended upon one or two men to say
what shall be paid for that food when de-
liversd in eastern cities, and the object Of
tlenew 4ssDcintion was to furnish aerep,
edy for this evil. The railroads have
usurped the power Of the legislatures,
and made the representatives the servants
of their will and il was time that the pco-
pie should arouse themselves and assert
their rights Not that he would infringe
upon the rights of railroad shareholders,
but the paramount rights Of the people to
cheap transportation must be vindicsted.
Nh. souiucy's remarks were received with
earnest tokens Of appreciation by the meet
ing. and this evidently struck the keynote
OF the new movement.
The association subsequently adopted a
series of resolutions which fully cover the
grcuhd q transportation reform, and set
forth IN d strong light the various consid-
erasions which should induce PROMPT and
united action throughout the land. The
Importance Of public encouragement to
the productive industries of the nation, BY
promoting thefree interchange of their re-
suits, Is indicated in brief and energetic
terms, and the fact referred to that existing
rates of transportation are injurious, and
