The Battle of the Railroads.

The contest for business now going on
between the trunk railway lines 10 the
vast, if it continues, will have at least this
temporary advantage for the public:
freights and fares will be reduced.
One cause of the trouble is the failure of
the confederated roads, the New York
Central, the Pennsylvania Central, the
Baltimore and Ohio the Erie and the
Grand Trunk of Canada, TO fulfil the terms
Of an agreement made between them as TO
the rates for carriage. Their chief reason
for breaking II is the small business of the
last year. What there is, each one wants
to get; for the whole might be done with
about half the rolling stock they have got
With respect to the American trunk
lines the New York Central occupies pc
culiar position Of advantage in having con-
troll OF the New England business to and
from the West The IIoosac tunnel aud
the other facilities for communication i'm
proved of late years to bring New England
into closer connection with northern New
York and the West, are all so many feeders
10 the New York Central. The only real
competitor with that great highway for
this business is the Grand Trunk of Canada 4;
mud if the truth were known, it would
probably be found that the bottom Of the
present trouble is the fact that this latter
road has been cutting down rates to draw
of business from Commodore Vanderbilt.
This the Commodore will not stand, aud
he is now making vigorous fight to break
down the Grand Trunk. The chances are
that lac will give the Canadians all they
want and compel them to ask for quarter.

In this case, III addition to his business feel
lng' he has strong personal feeling. In
other words, The old man has got his
Dutch up He does not mean to let the
Canadians poach on his preserves, aud be-
fore he gets through he intends that they
shall smart for their impudence. lie is not
dead yet, by any means
Meanwhile, IL does not make much diff
ference what the other trunk roads think.
This is the key of the row. Commodore
Vanderbilt Will pay little attention TO
them or what they do, for he does not re-
gard them as real competitors. They will,
however make friends with the Grand
Trunk, and try to get benefit for them
selves out of the contest. We may expect,
as soon us the weather gets a little warmer,
