Railroads and the Tariff.


Railroads and the Tariff.
The New York Evening Post
saws: HThe farmers, if we may
Judge from the proceedings OF
their convention i'll Illinois, are
getting wiser with time. They
are beginning to discern the real
causes Of their distress. AT
the outset they laid it all to the
railroads, which as oppressive
monopolies, they propose to hand
over to the government for dis
cipline and correction. But
now they sec that the railroads
are not the only offenders. In
deed in their resolutions the
railroads are scarcely mentioned,
while the tariff, political parties,
unjust taxation, and an i'll regu-
lated currency, come in for Il
just condemnation"
The evils that have crept into
The management Of railroads
and the cXtortion practiced by
ihe railroad monopolists have
not been exaggerated in the dis
cusSions of this subject that have
lately filled the land. But the
farmers trouble lies behind the
question Of transportation. y
large part of it is in the tariff
Turn which way the farmers
will, this foe conironts them
IF they turn to the railroads
they find that a corporation
which pays duty Of more than
$78 per ton on the rails ON
which its carriages run, and a
proportional tax on the materials
that enter into its rolling stock,
its tools and machinery, must
chargerates proportionally high.
If they turn to their reapers or
mowers or thrcshers or shovels
or hoes, they find the same OBJ
noxiou5 fact Of a heavy hidden
tax. If they go to the clothing
store to buy garments for their
children, the same unreasona-
Die. exorbitant exaction isthere.
If they look on all sides for
some compensating advantage,
they find none. The monarchS
Of the soil and Of the ballot
boxes, they are the slaves not so
much of the railroad 'monOpo-
lists as Of tariff idiots in Wash
ington. When an acre of land
will scarcely produce corn e.
nough to buy the farmer a good
shovel, it is time for him to
search for the reason why, and
he will find it behind the rail
roads. The extortions Of the
railroad managers are a great
evil, and the first discernible
ones, but they are the less Of two
evils which are spread upon the
agricultural interest like a pail.
The tax which compels the far
mer to pay the prices and get
one or none should receive his
earliest condemnation. 1t
should be remembered in a
meeting Of producers and con-
5umers also that the carrier is
himself a producer of values
If he makes the bushel of
corn which is worth twenty
cents in Iowa, worth eighty
cents in Boston, he performs an
economic work like that Of the
farmer or manufacturer. This
agitation OF the railroad qucs-
ton will lead to the abolition Of
some fragrant abuses on the
part of the monopolists. More
avenues of transportation will
be constructed, and rates will
be reduced. Let them not urge
Congress to NEEDLE with the
r.patter, however. And when
thu s has been done let the men
of - Threads and the men of land

Visit Of the Knights Templar.

In few days We will have in our city as
visitors representatives from a large number
of the States. They come here, many Of them
for the first time, to participate in q grand re-
union Of the Knights Templar. These stran-
gers will form their;opinions Of the Southern
people from the manner Of their treatment
here, and will! take home with them impress
sions Of Southern society and Southern peo-
pie.
No one will douot the influence that such
men who are members Of this powerful organ
ization can exert throughout the respective
States they represent. As they see and find
us, SO will they talk about and report us.
1t is useless, we know, to bespeak from our
people, who are proveroial for their hospitali-
ty, kindness and generosity, any attention and
favors in behalf Of our welcomed visitors We
know they will do their full duty in every re-
spect, and will maintain the reputation Of New
Orleans for its bountiful and regal entertain
ment of all her visitors.

In discussion on the action and phenome-
ma of steam, Mr.. Armstrong, one Of the most
distinguished British engineers, states that
under certain circumstances a portion of q
steam boiler occasionally becomes nearly red
hot, although this condition appears extreme
ly inconsistent with the supposition that it is
at the same time covered with water he
adopts this conclusion from having had ocular
demonstration of its possibility, as well as
from other reasons. Mr.. Armstrong says he
had frequntly heard the fact stated by intelli-
gent engine men, and had been called, more
than once, to witness it, although even then
inclined to consider it q mistake, owing to
the difficulty of clearly ascertaining it+for q
slight approach to the incandescent state must
be nearly invisible, owing to the strong glare
of light from the furnace directly beneath,
while any degree of heat much higher would
be sure to weaken the iron SO much as to
cause the boiler bottom to give way Mr.
Armstrong remarks that the probability of
of boilers sometimes approaching red heat
receives corroborative proof on examination
of the iron plates, in cases where the boilers
have bulged out, and which exhibit an appear
ance well known to boiler makers, by pecu-
liar color in the iron surrounding the part
which has been red hot

The Germans of Chattanooga have been
holding meeting. The Times thus reports
one of the speakers: "A. Bohr said that
SO long as the duties of citizenship were i'm
posed upon them they had also the rights Of
citizenship. They had not heretofore insisted
upon their rights, but it was now time to
assert them. 1t is the duty of every citizen
to work to make the rights Of all more secure.
1t is a mistake to suppose because we are
Germans that We want special legislation.
We want no more rights than other people.
Chiefly we desire personal freedom. We dc
not want any one to tell us what to eat end
what to drink. We are willing that others
should dripk water, but not to compel us to
do SO. We drink beer when we wish it and
when we will, and others may do the same.
So it is also with the church question. We
are willing that all should go that wish, but
not that they should be compelled against
their will. What We want is individual
liberty, and that the rights of no one be
infringed upon"

THE COMING POLITICAL LEADERS.

The New York Graphic publishes among
other interviews, one of Alexander K. Nc
Clure, of Pennsylvania, who is an intimate
friend Of Gov. Curtin, and a politician of &C.
knowledged sagacity.
We extract from this interview, the follow.
ing as being specially interesting to our read.
ers:
do not see how President Grant is going
to reorganize :the party in Penn sylvania with
out recognizing Cameron. Cameron was tn
defeat. massachusetts cannot be held by the
Democrats in any contingency.
The South is going to furnish the element
Of stability and conservatism in the Demo-
cratic Congress. Those men have more sense
than the Northern Democrats. don't think
the Democrats can hold Pennsylvania, though
l look upon the policy of the party as m rely
Observant for the coming year. There will be
a great struggle for Governor.
The Republican party has used up its mate
rial tor leadership. A new generation Of DEM
ocrats is about to appear with whom the pub
lie is unfamiliar. They will have the advan-
tage OF being without record. Tilden seems
to be, tor the present, the head of the Democ-
racy OF the United States.
II regard, said Mcclure, "the Louisiana
Democrats, by their late course, te be the
ablest politicians in the South-men of nerve
and counsel. Their revolt, some time ago,
quick, instant, and instantly suppressed after
one demonstration, was the perfection of tao
tics in time of danger. Its effect was pro-
found throughout the North.
''Grant can recover his personal importance
by reappointing his ofioe-holders generally in
the South. The Senate will kick. He may
lose the Senate trying to do SO. Carpenter,
Brownlow: Clayton, and others may join the
Democrats and sustain him."
