PHILADELPHIA, May 8, 1874
For several months past the weavers in the
northern part OF the city have been upon long
and . determined strike, which is now tending
toward painful and highly dangerous results. Tho
strikers are daily and hourly interfering with
those who, engaged ID earning their living, refuse
to Join their number, and are constantly
sending long and threatening letters to the pro-
prietors OF the mills. These letters state openly,
ana in the most vItuperative and profane manner,
that unless the employers accede to the strikers
demand, neither the manufactures nor the lives
OF the former will be safe. Five men engaged In
working for the firm Of George McDade Sons,
while on their way home were

employed by Thomas Carver were also severely

public meeting was held in Pixies Opera House
tonight to give expression on the subject Of in

bankers, manufacturers and business men. The
body OF the house was filed with the most
intelligent people in the community. Speeches
were made, in which the absurdity of infating tho
currency was prominently and forciby exhibited.
Judge Stallo was particularly feicitious In this
direction, and when he said that there was just as
much sense in talking about an elastic yardstick
or an elastic bushel as an elastic currency; his
remarks were received with thunders OF applause.
Several OF the best and most iuent speakers In the
city occupied the attention OF the meeting for over
Two hours, and the following resolutions were
adopted unanimously

ton.
Five Senators and twenty-one Assemblymen
from New York sit in the State Legislature at
Albany Their united voices in favor Of one
rapid transit bill for the city could not fail to
carry great weight and to exercise controlling
influence over the action of the Legislature on
this important question. Heretofore they have
been comparatively inactive in regard to sub
ject which is of greater moment to the city
they represent than all the rest of the legisla-
ton OF the session put together 1t was left
to Mr.. Eastman, of Duchess, to put into the
form of bill the wishes of the people of New
York, and until Colonel Charles S. Spencer
avowed his intention to take up the subject
which he has done with his accustomed
energy-it was not positively known in
what position the New York delegation would
be found when the time tor voting on the va
rious measures should arrive. The people
have naturally been surprised at this apparent
indifference on the part of the city Senators
and Assemblymen, especially as the principle
of q rapid transit commission has been in
dorsed by the Common Council and by the
almost unanimous voice of the press
The Eastman bill is likely to come before
the Assembly to-day, and the rumor has been
circulated that the opposition has nearly died
out and that the Vanderbilt bill, its most
dangerous rival, is to be withdrawn. We are
not disposed to accept this gratifying intelli-
gence with entire confidence nevertheless
we believe that such result may be secured,
provided the New York Senators and Assem-
blymen viii unite in demanding it in the
name of their constituents. The representa-
tives outside the metropolis could not
refuse to respect the wishes of its million Of
inhabitants expressed without dissenting
voice. Even the rural Lncolns must be put
to shame by such demonstration. But it
will not do for our members to remain silent
and give simple vote this way or that On the

favored districts; but though the cause b
clear, the fact is none the less o scandal and
shame. But rapid transit is the whole
secret of the remedy. New Jersey has rapid
transit and therefore it has the homes Of
thousands of our people who would prefer to
have their dwellings on this island, but who
cannot pay the rents at accessible points, and
cannot wear out their lives with the daily
journey to the remoter points. Shall we have
the rapid transit that is necessary, or shall we
drivel on in the hands of jobbers and specula-
tors until those driven from us have built up
on the other side of the Hudson the city that
should grow beyond the Harlem River2 Here
is problem for the real estate men.
With proper system of communications
through the city districts that are neglected,
and improvements that lie abandoned would
revive with the greatest energy, and real estate
on this island, taking the whole island
through, would be worth more per foot than
at any other place in the world

Rapid Transit and Real Estate in
the City.

1t is evident that the want of proper
facilities for moving from one to another part
Of this city has been heavy load for city real
estate to carry. 1t has concentrated increase
Of value at certain favored points and LETT
other points far behind, for no reason
what value, as measured by money, has
been added to the country districts of the
State Of New Jersey by the wealth of this city
we are unable to say; but the aggregate must
be very great We heard few days since Of q
case in which landowner in one Of the New
Jersey towns where New Workers sleep had sold
for two hundred thousand dollars the land
which his father had valued at two thousand
dollars. This may be an extreme case, but
we fancy it is rather nearer to the middle
neighboring State extends to points as far as
Summit, on the Morris and Essex road to
Ridgewood, on the Erie, and to Summerville,
on the Central New Jersey; and fine towns
are thriving on this support alone, while sub
urban palaces, ranging in value up to hun
dred thousand dollars, have been built on
hillsides where ten years ago the solitary
Jerseyman wondered why, in the economy of
nature, any land had ever been made SO near
to the perpendicular that it could not be
ploughed.
These facts should be weighed as part Of
the problem Of rapid transit All the wealth
80 added to taxable property in New Jersey is
subtracted from taxable property in this State,
if not even in this city, by the want Of an easy
and rapid communication between the neigh
affairs and those where he would have his
home. He can cross o wide river, travel
twenty miles in New Jersey and get to his
abode with far more comfort and in less time
than he could go to home in the upper part
of this city. And this is not merely in the
summer, when the sail over the river is pleas
ant and the run into the country such as
would delight any mortal creature with
healthy sensations but in the winter the
difference in comfort is even greater in favor
Of the trip into the country over that uptown.
For in the city he freezes in the horse cars
If he can get in at all--or struggles on foot
through miles of slush and snow in the horri-
BILE streets; while for the other trip he has
a boat almost as comfortable as home itself
and good seat in warm cars.
1t is no wonder therefore, that this city ia
robbed to enrich New Jersey; that wealth is
carried out of the State which might almost
have been enough, if kept in this city. to have
brought the real estate Of the far up sections
10 an equality in value with that Of more

various propositions that may come before
them. The subject is of too much impor-
lance for that. The people of New York will
expect them to take positive position on the
rapid transit question and to make their in
fuence felt The principle of commission
is strongly Endorsed by our citizens and is not
in conflict with the interests of any honest
project for rapid transit line. We look to
commission as the most certain means Of car
rying out such projects. We hope, therefore,
to see the Eastman bill accepted as basis for
general law on the subject, and to find the
New York delegation united solidly with Colo
mel Spencer in active support Of the measure.
