West Shore has been to the New York Central.
The Southern Pacific people are making a
wide-wake competitor of the Central Pacific,
the latter carrying, in October, Is, ZIG, $50 tons
of freight. against HIP, $50 carried over the
Southern Pacific.
The Glenwood bridge of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad has been completed, and the ferry at

Recently several carloads of fine cattle were

There is a good deal of anxiety on the part Of
holders of ~ear-trust loans, especially those of
companies which are not in good financial condi-
ton. There is little doubt out that the interest
on a good many of these loans will be defaulted
on in January, and this Will make bad work
with this class of securities.
The Reading Board of Trade has passed a very
strong resolution e. .demning the high railroad
freights, which miloate against the manufactur-
ing interests of Reading. They allege that the
freight charges on coal and ore are as high for

between New York and Philadelphia. They
propose to appeal to the Legislature for relief.

The Pennsylvania Road Losing It's Grip on
the Coal Traffic.

Matters are beginning to assume a squally
look between the bituminous coal-carrying
voads, and so many new fields are to be opened
the coming year that it viii take skillful engin-
erring to avoid a disturbance and a demoraliza
zion of rates. Negotiations have been going on
recently between the Pennsylvania, Baltimore &
Ohio, ard the New York Central, for a division
OF the tide coal tonnage next year. The new
line IF the latter road into the Clearfeld region
is now in importation, and it is expected it will ship
ESQ, 900 tons in 1885, Of which 250,000 tons will
come to the Baltimore Ohio. and Pennsylvania
will send $500, coo tons to tide from the Climber
land and Clearfeld regions. The Pennsylvania
railroad has a great advantage over the other
TWO companies in having the best facilities at
tide ports. 1t can ship coal to Baltimore, Phila.
delphia and New York, while the Baltimore g
Ohio has only one shipping point-Baltimore-
New York Central will send coal to tide

over its own line to New York, and to Philadel-
phia by the Reading, and to the lake ports.
During the past year the competitive tonnage by
the PENNSYLVANIA and Baltimore & Ohio have
been about equal, owing to the fact that the lat
ter made concessions in contracts early in the
year and cut rates all the time. The shipments
of coal by the Chesapeake & Ohio and Norfolk
G. Western to Newport News will be a factor in
the market next wear.

A Decision Involving Freight Rates.

Philadelphia Record.
An Ohio jury has given a verdict of damages
against the Lake Shore Railroad Company be-
cause it carried oil for the Standard Oil Com
pany for less rates per carload than it carried
for another party who required a like service at
the same time. The railroad company pleaded
its justification of its discrimination that the
Standard Oil Company furnished it a much
larger amount of freight that the plaintiff in
the suit. But the judge righteously charged that
the railroad company, as a common carrier, had
no right to discriminate between its customers
because one furnished it more freight than an
Dther, and upon this ground the jury awarded
appropriate damages. This appears to us to be
good law and good sense. We trust, if an APP
peal is made, the decision will be confirmed by
the Supreme Court of Ohio. 1t knocks the un-
derpinning from the argument upon which the
carrying companies have sought to justify a
Erievous departure from their proper function.
AS common carriers the railroad companies
must adapt their rates to the aggregate Of bust
ness furnished them by all their customers. If
The aggregate ~justifes diminished charges,
every man is entitled to share in the advantage
in proportion to the extent of his Transports
ton. Any other rule puts IN the hands of trans
porting companies the power to build up mo-
nopolies at the expense of individual enterprise.

Mr. sLArR.s UNPOPULAR theory.
Is. y. Examiner,

The unpopular theory held by Mr..
Blaine while Secreta-y OF State. end put
in writing by him. that when an Amei-
can citizen leaves his country he by that
act a5andons all claims upon his Gov
to protection, aud is formally
surrendered to the tender mercies Of any
nation which may elect to abuse him, is
not the doctrine of the Democratic party.
According to SIr. Blaine, the moment an
American citizen lands abroad he be-
comes an alien, II, for example, it is
one Of the practices Of the country he
goes to to imprison foreigners, he must
accept his imprisonment in good part, as
one of the inevitable consequences of
his inclination to travel. Similarly, no
doubt, If the custom Of the foreign
country should be to roast and eat the
visitor, the unhappy American would
have TO submit to it. That i, Mr. B!aine's
theory OF intense A~mericanism as APP
piled tn citizens OF foreign birth. 1t is
written in the archives Of the State De-
partment at Washington and illustrated
in the experience Of McSweeney, O'Con-
nor. Walsh, Brady, and hundreds of
Iush-Americans who Il few years ago
revisited their native country, under the
impression that they were leaving IA Gov
eminent behind them big enough and
strong enough to assert the rights of its
citizens and protect them wherever they
went. No doubt this theory of Mr..
Blaine Is also the doctrine of the Repub-
lican party. That organization has
made him its official exponent. But it
IS not the doctrine Of the Democratic
party. which laid down its view of this
question in 1853 during the administra-
ton of Franklin Pierce, and through the
medium of William L. Marcy, Secretary
of State, in the case Of Martin Koszta,
a native Of Hungary and an adopted
citizen of the United States. The atti-
tude taken by Mr. Marcy was very diff
ferent from hat assumed by Mr.. Blaine
when American citizens appealed to him
in vain for protection. In vindicating
II of the cardinal principles Of the
Democratic party then, Mr.. Marcy gave
to us al admirable opportunity Of con-
Trusting the bold and manly policy Of a
Democratic Administration with the
shutting and e~vasive course pursued by
Blaine and Lowell. Mr.. Marcy held
that tine fo-eign-born citizen lad the
same rights possessed by a native o. the
country, and that all the influence Of the
government and the power Of its urIua-
ments on land and SEA would be en-
ployed to enforce them. Koszta Was set
free in an hour, while American ''sus-
poets" languish,d four years in British
jails. That is the difference between
Democratic and Republican policy.
