tea of China, the beef of Texas, the ice of Maine and the wheat of Dakota are all near his door and at prices which even laborer's pay will procure. The fall in the cost of transportation in the United States is one of the most astonishing marks of our progress in the last ten years. In 1870 the average cost of moving a ton of freight from the West to the East was nearly two cents per mile. It was then thought that the limit of cheapness had been reached, and such was the reply made to all the gran ger legislation proposed about that time. Now the cost is about three-eighths of a cent per ton per mile, which, however, is not re-
 munerative. At fve-eighths of a cent the railroads say they would be entirely satisfied
