Eastern Railroad WOrkmen's Trains.

The interesting experiment Of the Eastern
railroad, of operating cheap workingmen's
trains, has now reached stage where its ulti-
mate results can with comparative confidence
be anticipated. 1t will be recollected that this
road is the only one that has complied with
the act of the Massachusetts legislature provid
ing for low cost trains for working men; and in
fact is the only road in the country that has
attempted this form of railway service at all.
Trains begun to run Nov, 1872, the first
train carrying seventy passengers. The route
is from Lynn to Boston IN the morning and re-
turn at evening, The distance is 13 miles.
The fare is five cents whether for a longer or
shorter carriage, being in fact an adoption of
the one-price street-railway system. In the
first month 1867 passengers were carried. In
the twelfth month thereafter the number had
increased to 15,9O3. The total number for this
year was 1769O3 The great majority of the
passengers have been of the precise class whom
it was intended to serve, to wit laboring men.
artisans, etc. Scarce any one of the "penny
trains to and from London has larger patro-
mage.
These trains are run without direct profit as
was anticipated by the managers of the road.
The advantage thus far has been to the work
people. 1t is observed, however, that the trains
have not DIMINISHED the regular travel. 1t is
believed and the indications are strong that
the increase of population along the line of the
road, consequent upon the maintenance of the
low-price trains, will ultimately very largely
augment the regular business, to the great
profit of the railroad. The Massachusetts,
Railroad Commissioners say ''This result may
now confidently be anticipated" and further OBJ
serve 1.-THE statistics just quoted clearly indi-
cate how speedily the Eastern railroad may ex-
pect to reap rich harvest from the liberal
policy it has adopted"

THE New York World in recent article
on spring trade, says that certain grade of
English iron costs $50 ton in England. To
this must be added 500 for tariff and for
freight and other charges 81 more, making
the cost of English iron here $S4 ton, while
an American iron OF the same quality can b9
obtained in New York for $67.20 per ton in
currency. The World then proceeds to de-
clare that the tariff is responsible for the i'm
possibility of both importers and manufac-
turers making living at the iron business.
OF course the World must be against the tar
i'll, but in its declaration of facts relative to
the iron trade it knocks to finters its oft re-
peated theory that the tariff on any given ar
ticle, whether produced in this country or
not, is SO much added to the cost thereof. Ii
this theory is correct, the cost of ton of
iron in New York should be $S4 in gold. A
further examination of the figures of the
World will show that without tariff, ton
of English iron in New York would cost
$3.50 in currency, which would be the low
est price at which it would be sold al the pres
ent time. did we lely upon foreign manufac-
ture. 1t is very probable, however, that if
the English manufacturer controlled the mar
ket, as would be the case we re it not for home
production which has been so stimulated of
late, we should be quite likely to pay $50
ton for iron, and get no revenue at that.

The attention of the farmers of the West
who have shown disposition to make war
upon the railroads, or in other words to get
fair usage from them, is frequently called to
the reports of the leading railroad lines be-
tween the interior and seaboard which show
light returns to stockholders. The latest cor
poration held up for the pity of the grangers
Is the Grand Trunk, which has not paid the
stockholder cent of dividends. 1t is hard
case, but corporation is not entitled to great
consideration when its affairs are managed
rather in the interest of certain rolling stock
companies in which its servants are largely
interested than of the British stockholders.
fits this fact that promises to make the an
nual meeting of the Grand Trunk sharehoId-
ers anything but pleasant. When the Grand
Trunk is run in the interest of the stockhold-
ers they will begin to get dividends, butso
long as hundreds of the company's cars stand
on sidings in order that those of certain roll
ing stock companies may be used, the rails
viii be worn out for other parties than share
holders. 1t may be different now, but such a
state of affairs was reported at the last annual
