people.)

the National Board of Health of its

says the CourierJournal, to make the

assigned to the national board. That

Tex, last year on small epidemic, and
spent $4,000 to $4,000 more than tho

Inc question OF freight tarlH IL per
haps the most important and difficult
with which the railroad manager has to
deal, as it determines the revenue of the
company on the one hand and the tax to
be levied upon the people on the other,
It is aquestion analogous to a revenue
bill in the legislature, and no man or set
of men has yet been found wise enough
to so adjust a. tariff as to be equal in all
its bearings upon the interests involved.
It requires an amount of diversity of
practical knowledge that is not found
in one brain, and can only be approx
mated by the combination of different
minds
In determining the rate to be fixed
for transportation by rail, there are pc
culiarities not found in other modes of
conveyance. The considerations which
ordinarily prevail in fixing rates for
transportation, are
WEIGHT, BULK AND VALUE.
The freighter would, in the case Of
iron, lead, stone, etc, have to give the
preponderance to the consideration of
weight, because his tonnage capacity
would be exhausted before his bulk ca
pacity was half reached.
The freighter of hats, boots, shoes,
etc, would give preponderance to the
consideration of bulk, because his bulk
capacity would be exhausted before his
tonnage was reached.
The freighter of mixed dry-goods
would give the preponderance to value,
for while his bulk and tonnage capacity
might be equalized the value and con-
sequent risk would be increased.
In river and ocean transportation the
freighter protects himself by excepting
'the dangers of the seas and rivers, !"
and thus relieves himself of much of the
risk; but in rail transportation there
are no exceptions, and the company be-
come not only freighters but insurers
This popularity in rail freights has
given rise to what is called "classifca-
ton of freights," and this is as difficult
question as that of rates, and so diff
cult that no uniform or general classifi-
cation has been agreed upon, and hardly
any two roads have the same
Another popularity arises from the
variety of local productions, and still
another from the great fluctuations in
value. Cotton, for illustration, which
few years since was worth SIS to 500
per bale, while at present it is hardly
worth the half of it, it will be seen that
prices fixed for its transportation based
upon the former value becomes onerous
and excessive when applied to the lat
ter.
We have said enough to show tho 10
who have never invc stigated the sub
ject, that business talent of the highest
order combined with the most varied
and extensive experience is required to
make ups freight tariff that even ap-
proximates to equity.
A similar question presents itself at
every session of every legislature in the
Union, and at the present moment the
assembled wisdom Of the nation is dis
cussing it at the Capital. Think YOU.
then, that one mind and that perhaps
not the most experienced can determine
it, and thai mind interested in and look
ing only to one side of the question and
governed only by the interest Of one Of
the parties to be affected. OBSERVER.

that they produce as faithful camera~ pictures as
