EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN RAILROADS.
4 correspondent OF the Syrncuse Courier.
says OF Italy: Her railroad stations arc
magnificent structures; waiting rooms
elegantly frescoed, and the seats of the
finest silk velvet. When train stops
for dinner they give you one hour to eat
your meal. The railroad beds are the
finest in tho world, and the roads are the
smoothest have ever ridden over. The
embankments are nll built up of solid
masonry of the most substantial nature,
and the bridges are all of massive stone
If the bridges. embankments and road
beds Of the New York Central Railroad
were built like those Of the High Italy
Railway, that road, with it's Immense
revenues, could not pay half per cent
dividend on the cost OF its construction.
The expense of running railroads in
Italy is enormous. Every ton OF ooal is
bought in England, costing $40 ir gold
per ton, and transported at al immenee
cost to Italy. The system is admirable.
OF course l do not like the carriages;
but IN every other respect they excel us
Americans. It is impossible for ira

The Christian Union contains All edito-
rial on the battle Of money, in which oc-
cur the following paragraphs:
The great battle of cur day is to be
the battle Of money. The combination
OF capitalists, the consolidation of rail
roads, the enormous concentration Of
money in comparatively few hands, is
raising up Plutocracy which threatens
to over match legislatures. courts and all
private interests that may stand in the
way OF gigantic corporations.
If the very ablest men in Con 2ress are
so easily beguiled aud perverted by the
first onset, what will the future be, when
millions Of dollars can be brought to
bear on Congress to secure millionaires'
legislation, as against the interests of
the common people?
Is the Congress of the Uniled States
to become on exchange on which money
princes shall meet aud exchange com
modities?
The remedy is two o.fold: There must
be formed home sentiment of honesty,
which shall make it impossible for any
man to enjoy such gains as he gets by u
sacrifice Of honor, truth and public trust.
As long ee men, by scores and h undreds,
can go to the legislature poor, and in five
years return rich, maintain their popu-
larity and enjoy their ill-gotten posses
sions, Of what use will it be once in ten
years to sacrifice lucklcss criminal
amid universal excavations. The ho-
nesty must dwell among com mon people.
There must be honesty OF the source OF
power. II the people are debauched,
their representatives will not be virtu.
ons. The moral education of the whole
community must, after all, be the grand
remedy.
