TRANsCONTINENTAL FREIGHT TRAF.
FIG

The representatives Of great trunk rail
way lines have been in consultation i'll San
Francisco upon one of the chief problems
of the freight question-how to con-
| duct business SO as 10 induce the
great volume of AsiaGc freights to cross
| this continent fIom shore to shore. But
the inquiry into means TO be employed
uniformity brings mp the question of rates,
and these, it is found. must be so low as TO
successfully compete with the transporta-
ton charges by the great sea routes. Such
rates prevailing by transcontinental rail
routes will reduce the tariffs to figures be-
low the average cost of transportation
The question remaining to be determined
is, will it pay to take the freights on that
basis2 Unquestionably the transporters
will decide il in the affirmative, if indeed
they have not already resolved upon it,
And the reason for such q conclusion
throws light upon the railroad transporta-
ton question, which has been so befogged
and misrepresented by demagogues and 4
constituencies press. The freight Will be
carried, for it viii be pure economy to do
SO, because it will consume the surplus
transportation capacity of the carriers.
This will inure to the benefit of all local
freight traffic of the country. 1t is an Az
ION that large tonnage at q low rate pays
better than Il small tonnage at high rate
Assure the carrier of the employment
of his full carrying capacity and his
rate declines. In other words, the fixed
expenses relating to transportation are not
proportioned to the amount of the freight
carried. Whether il be great or small the
mass Of fixed expense remains the same.
To illustrate: If million tons cost X to
transport, it does not follow that two million
tons will cost 2 X, but rather the extra cost
may be stated as I. X. So 1000, 900
might represent the cost at l! X and
100000 at 9 x, and 16,00O,OO0 at 8 X, and
100000 at 3! X. Whenever the full
activity OF which transporter is capable is
employed the whole business with which
he treats is benefited, and 80 the transporta-
ton of the Asiatic freight at even less than
cost cannot but stimulate and advance the
local traffic Of the whole country.

IT is understood, at least it is open gossip
in political circles, that Messrs. John +.
Miller Horace F. Page, NJ. NJ. EStee, Geo.
C. Perkins and John F. Swift are to be can
didates for the United States Senate. They
are all Republicans. 1t Is possible, also,
that the Republicans. in case of the election
of Mr. Blaine, will present the names Of
Messrs. Davis or Swift or others for seat
in the Cabinet, So too, Mcssrs. Irving z.
Scott, A p Williams and other gentlemen
will, in all probability. be candidates for
the office of Governor. Now there is just
one way for all these to be defeatcd-one
way to insure their defeat in advance, and
that is to initiate the former example ofthe
San Francisco Chronicle, and the example
of short-sighted priests ofthe party and split
the organization in California rather than
agree that some one aspirant for each posi-
ton shall be successful. The receipt is
given gratuitously to whomsoyer it may
concern, and it is fortified by the experience

in San Francisco the other day, and greeted two
representatives Of the RECORD Union with the
exclamation. "You will have no one at the

A GENTLEMAN Of extended experience in
the advertising business, comparing the
cost Of advertising as between the rates
charged in San francisco and the country
press, and giving due consideration to the
question of circulation. gives it Us his opin-
Ion that advertisers can obtain five times
the circulation for their advertisements in
the country press for one-half Of the ex-
penditurc necessary TO present the same
matter to the same readers in the press of
San Francisco. He printed the same adj
vertisement in twenty -four leading papers
in the Interior the same space, and the
same number oftimes for the same money.
For all advertising which to be Of value to
the advertiser must reach the people of the
State the merchants and business men of
San Francisco will find that the purchas-
ing power of dollar for advertising in the
country press is at least five times as great
~ if expended with the metropolitan
