The Transportatlen probIem.

The paper written by Edward Atkinson re-
Gently under the head of Railway Production
and Population" which is what might be
termed supplement to his treatise on the same
subject four years ago, will bear careful read
ing In it he makes points regarding transporta-
ton charges which will bear study Mr.. At
kinson says that the progress Of develop
ment during the past four years has only in
tensifed the downward course Of railway
charges Railway mileage and railway service
have increased during this period 40 per cent :
while agricultural products have not increased
more than 10 per cent, and miscellaneous mer
cAandise not moro than 10 per cent Population
during the same time has increased through inn
migration and natural growth perhaps IA per
cent. In the whole country the present
rate of increase may be taken at 1000, 600 per
rannum. The average decline in rates of trans
portion during the four years has been about
6per cent, or since 1869 nearly 66 per cent Mr..
1853 are lid s.z4s, 70 for lss S5i'9 osT5 81
Mr. Atkinson's conclusion is that railway rates
are now as low as they can be made con.
siStently with any profit whatever on the capital
invested, and that considerable share of the
mileage now in operation can yield nothing
above running expenses until population has in
creased in the ratio Of the increase Of mileage.

of grain and meat was met by increasing de-
mand, down to 1880 inclusive. In 1869 thirteen
tons of produce, already listed, were worth in
gold in the city of New York $632 65; in 1880 the
same quantities were worth $63l 80. But in 1880
the increase of demand eliminated, exports have
fallen off about as fast as the home demand has
increased, yet the same quantities of the same
articles are worth at this time (June 10, 1884

Observe, however, with only per cent increase
in the average crop of grain since 1880, we have
more than 40 per cent. increase in the railway
mileage in the last four years We have two

of speculative construction is therefore plainly
to be seem We have passed through the period

through the period of needed extention.

comfert for chronie Growlers.

In commenting on the traffic outlook for the
railroads, the Railway World says
''The late and current course of events fore
shadows an increase in the revenues of many
lines. Many lines are preparing for crop
movement of exceptional magnitude and the
fact that farming operations have generally
been successful is likely to lead to decided in
crease in the quantities of merchandise moved.
A considerable proportion of the railway mile
age of the United States is so deeply affected by
the character of the season and the crops that
the favorable climatic conditions which have
prevailed during this year will presumably be
reflected, in a gratifying manner, in future
statements of earnings. Relief will be furnished
at time when it is greatly needed; and it is to
be hoped that a satisfactory relation between
facilities and the current demand for them will
soon be established in many sections which have
been oyerstocked with iron highways, cars and
locomotives

Remuneration for transportation of the
Mails.

Arrangements for adopting new system Of
paying for the carriage Of the United States
mails are as yet in allegiance. It is considered
probable, however, that the companies win,
when all details areadjusted, receive 25cents per
mile for every 50foot car, travelling at from 20to
% miles per hour. Should the exigencies of the
service neeessitate higher speed, the rail
ways would be paid more literally. Under this
system, it is conjectured. the government would
save large sum; but owing to the incomplete
ness Of the plan suggested nothing can yet be
predicated with definite certainty
