LONG AND SHORT HAULs.

The readers of Congressional pro-
ceedings have seen great deal re-
Gently about "long hauls" and short
hauls" on railroads. The amendment
of Senator Camden to the Cullom
Transportation bill, as amended by
Senator Edmunds, is intended to pre-
vent a continuance of most oppres
sivc policy of our railroad managers
1t is this In fixing the rates of freight
and fare, railroad companies go upon
tho principle of charging for such SER
vice the. very highest rate they can get,
When there is competition with other
roads, they are obliged to keep down to
the lowest rates offered by others.
When there is competition by water
travel, they must put the rates low
enough to meet that fact Their remedy
for competition in such case is the
pool" under which all agree to
charge the same rates. IL the pooled
rate is too profitable the temptation Of
each is to cut under the others. The
result is that on long lines Of travel,
like that between Chicago and New
York, or between Chicago or st, Louis
and San Francisco, shippers get very
reasonable rates. If all the wheat and
other products could reach the place
of shipment without greater cost per
mile than between the termini, then
all would be equally served. But this
cannot be.
1t would not pay to load and unload
freight to be hauled twenty miles at the
same rate per mile rs is charged for
hauling ii ] 900 miles Accordingly, a
system has been adopted of establish
ing what is called shipping points, ="
from which, on long hauls, the charges
are much less per mile than for short
hauls from intermediate places to those
points. But this principle, fair enough
in a general sense, is made the cover
for great extortions.
As for examples 1t was shown in the
testimony taken before New York
legislative committee that the flour mills
W ihpNHCctNi1 ANGN Olh. NCTt
more money per barrel for freight on
flour from that point to New York
city than were the mills at Milwaukee
from that city to New York-not more
per mile, hut more money for the short
than for the long haul. On the Over
land Railway, but few years since,
the rate for car load from st. Louis
to Arizona, through California, was
more than from California to Arizona.
BY the same oppressive policy it cost
nearly three times as much TO send O
carload of freight from New York tc
Nevada as II did to send 1t straight
through Nevada from New York t.
San Francisco. Thus for a car load
from New York TO San Francisco
$500 miles, the rate was 5000. But fol
the same car load from New York tc
Reno, in Nevada. $500 miles only, II
WAS $500.
To remedy this the Camden Edmundi
provision has been adopted by the Sen

HINTS FOR THE HOUR.

The eighthour movement in Philn
delphia, it Is estimated, IA costing the
people of that city not less than $50

building operations consequent upon
the strike, Philadelphia will be short

That's great deal ofmoney-iifiy dol
lars ahead to the population of the city,
men, " omen and children.
Tho employers say that they cannot
afford to pay ten hours wages for
eight hours work. In other words,
establishments ut eight hours cannot
compete with establishments at ten
hours.
The workingmen on the other hand
say that they cannot afford to do eight
hours work for less than ten hours
pay and rather than work ten hours
they will remain idle and join the grand
army of non. producers
The two propositions are wide apart.
1t is merely question of endurance,
which will endure the strain of events
the longest, In the meantime, dis
aster is certain to befall the country
unless the deadlock is broken. How
Is 1t to be broken?
1t is easy enough to understand
why, under certain circumstances, q
man cannot well afford to increase his
payroll twenty-five per cent.
1t is not so easy to understand how
under any circumstances, q man can
not afford to earn his living; or how,
having the disposition to do so, should
not have the right.
The public sympathy is almost uni
versally with the workingmen, but
they cannot expect to retain that sym
patty if their methods prove abortive,
their demands unreasonable or their
action oppressive.
No matter how fair tho eight-hour
law may be in principle, even its most
dogmatic advocates must admit that
any law must sooner or later fall into
disrepute. the enforcement OF which
threatens the material interests of the
whole country with paralysis aud
bankruptcy.
The chasm should be bridged or Our
national industries will be swallowed
up and with i! the general prosperity
of the people.
1t is not the red flag of the Commune
that is so much to he feared as it is the
red flag of the Auctioneer.
The Washington critic., 1886-05-21

ute II does not restrict railroa Is to
the same rate per mile for short as for
long hauls, but 1t does provide that
the amount Of money charged for the
long haul shall be the maximum charge
for a less distance. If this becomes a
law the overland companies can charge
as much for u carload to be taken to
Nevada as TO Californla-no more.
They can no longer charge $500 extra
for not hauling carload across the
Sierra Nevada range of mountains.
The farmers who live between "ship.
ping points" will no longer be charged
as much for a hundred miles, to Chi
cago, as is charged from that city to
New York. Unless the railway man.
ayers own this Government the evil
pointed out will he remedied.

only affect rates between two or more

And touched my soul with sudden light
And yet, perchance. had yOn been there
You scarcely would have called 1t fair.

OF sadness that was half expressed,
Lips that for laughter We're not made
Perhaps by PAINS white finger pressed
To patient silence. All of art
Sank down abashei within my heart.

Like moonlight comes calm content
with larger hope and purer love,
A memory of the form that bent
Through nights OF fevered pain above
The cot OF childhood. Better so,
For this brief vision may go
Once more into tho world like him

And murmurs In the elolster dim,

Soothed by the answer, go In peace'

THERE is no sensible reason for any
alarm at the non arrival, as yet. of the
sloop.of Nipsic at New York
from Montcvideo. The vessel is staunch
and nearly new, is ably commanded and
well oflicered and manned, but is by no
means a ship adapted by speed for Il
dispatch boat AS her crank shaft is
broken, the voyage must necessarily be
made under sail alone, and Commander
Dana has undoubtedly preferred to sail
direct course, instead of coming
through the West Indies and touching
at any of the ports in the Windward
Islands, where news would be sent to
the Navy Department. The Nipsic
sailed from Monteyideo, Uruguay,
March 7, and has consequently been
out seyenty-five days TO day. In the
spring of 1883 this ship took seventy
three days in making the passage from
Philadelphia to Rio de Janeiro, which
is over 200 miles shorter distance than
the present trip. The worst of the mat.
ter is that relatives and friends of those
ON board are made needlessly anxious
by such sensational and disquieting
alarums.
