RAILWAYS.
Jamaica, and particularly the City of King
ston, is being heavily taxed in her food because
of her apathy in providing rapid transit for
her market supplies. The discontented of
course blame the administration and think it is
because the "Sons of Jamaica" have not the
key of the Treasury and seats In the Legisla-
ture to control the Governor, and never Tor a
moment consider that the increasing population
with a growing prosperity cause an improved
demand for which the country is not sufficient
" prepared, and which nothing but the intro
duction of railways will remedy. Every
article Of food in Kingston has been advanced
25 per cent if it has not been doubled ana
why Not because of the market lees Whlcn
foolish people talk about, but because tnefe are
not provisions sufficient to meet pubic re-
quirement, and they cannot be had because the
country people have no cOnveniencrS by which
to bring supplies into the city, but by "head
loads" and donkeys, and those grown at a
greater distance, finding no available market,
have their industry crippled and remain in
idleness, while the prices rise in Kingston,
where men must pay the tax on Ignorance, and
for being so far behind the age. AS evidence
of this fact, we suhioin the relative market
values of necessary food in Kingston and other
parts of the island, at the present moment,
W hich, if we had only rapid transit, would
reduce the minimum value by half, and largely
develop the industry and enterprise Of a people
who have no encouragement or held Tor
its cultivation.

In every direction, landed property is rising
in value; properties which have been long
out of cultivation, dismantIed and forgotten
are springing forward and commanding long
prices which are readily given. In one in
stance very recently a fine property was sold
for what was considered a good price. The
new proprietor began to cut wood upon IT, and
in three months he realized double his purchase
money, he then retained the dwelling and
mortgaged the remainder Of the land for twice
the amount he originally paid for the whole.

should be waste, but should go to keep
