Operation Of Baltimore and Ohio Bail Road

The Washington Star of the 10th has the
following paragraph The Baltimore and
Ohio railroad company is showing signs of
an active policy in various directions and
ways, as in the organization of the new ma
tional telegraph company the leasing OF
roads in the southwest; and now in the way
of securing line of road to New York city
in competition with the Pennsylvania rail-
read. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad is
now working with the Central railroad OF
New Jersey to get the full use Of the junction
road, short line in West Pennsylvania that
connects the through line OF railway from
Baltimore to New York. This short piece of
road joins the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore and the Reading roads, and is of
vast importance. The Pennsylvania railroad
company claims entire possession and eXer-
cises exclusive control over it, thus shutting
out any competing line to New York. The
suit to get the use of this junction road is
now pending in the U. S. courts at Pittsburg,
and it is doubtful il the law will compel the
Pennsylvania road to yield possession. But
It is reported President Garrett has yet anoth-
er string to his bow, and has secured a
through route from Baltimore to New York
via the North Penn. and New Jersey Central.
This would, however, be less direct and
available than thai by the West Philadelphia
junction road, and would leave many points
OF advantage in the way of through traffic,
with the Pennsylvania road.
The iron product of the country for 1879
is expected TO equal, if not excel the prodi-
gious yields of 1872 and 1873, the booming
years just preceding the panic, although the
number of furnaces at work is less by several
hundred than at that time. Iron is an ele-
ment in so many branches OF industry that
this large yield. which, of course, is only to
supply demand. that prosperity in this
trade means more than prosperity in almost
any other. 1t means that railroad building
and repairing is increasing; that houses are
going up; that machinery is being constructed
and set in place; that hundred other indus
tries are prosperous. 1t means that idle
labor is finding employment, and while wa
ges are not high and profits are small, the
aggregate wealth of the country is increasing
with the ability of the people to purchase
what their needs and tastes demand. The
fact is that every day old industries are re-
sumed and new ones are inaugurated. Cap
ital is seeking investment, and is content
with smaller interest than it was ten years
ago. Thousands of new farms are adding to
the real property of the country. The tide
westward is relieving the East OF its super
abundant population, and with increase of
population the West increases in general
and individual wealth. All this prosperity
Is told by the prosperity of the iron -tr ade.
It is pulse which tells the condition of the
country with great accuracy. All classes
should rejoice in the token, and avoid any
action that might have tendency to hamper
our revlving industries
