THE 1NrERsrArE COMMERCE LAW.

Millions upon millions of dollars have
been paid by the people. and these mil
hons have been received by the railroads
in consequence of this law. Indeed, SO
much higher have been the average rates
that canals have been patrOnized and
steamboats, built wherever water com
municatOn could compete with railroad
lines, and the mass OF the people who
have to pay this enormous amount OF
money in advance Cf former rates have
only the satisfaction of seeing in some
instances restriction (apparently) OF
some obnoxious 'short-hau' clause
Someone has said that the railroad mag
mates well knew that the act would, on
the whole. he gain to them, or they
would haye managed to defeat the bill.
However that may be, it is certain thai,
taking all the railroads in The United
States, there has been an advance IN
rates of at least fifteen per cent. And
so it proves that every instance of legs
lative interference thus far has been an
expensive act for the people. 1t was the
farmers themselves who were the most
anxious for the repeal of the granger
laws of some of some of the Western
States in the last decade. for they found
that by putting check upon commerce
it crippled the railroads and was destroy
ing tine business and prosperity of that
part of the country. And it will be very
difficult to find that any good has ever
been done by these attempts to control
contracts between shippers and carriers.
How can you control the price paid for
bringing bushel Of wheat from Chicago
any more than you can say what shall
he paid for raising bushel of wheat in
Vermont? While it is true that cor
poration that gains special privileges
may be subject to reasonable restrictions,
yet the great law of supply aud demand,
with the endless competition between
different lines, will always govern the
tariff rates, and they can no more be
done away than the law of gravitation.
1t is true that slight notifications may
be Effected. Il may be wise to have "a
board of commissioners to near com
plants. l. will amuse the discontinued,
although no important changes be made.
Hearings may air cut abuses and so help
to stir up public sentiment but the great
law of supply and demand will always
fix the rates of traffic and the price OF
labor. And this is the lesson that all
will eventually have to learn, whether
it is the wage worker who strikes for
more pay or the Vermont farmer who
appeals 10 the legislature because the
rate is thirty-fve cents to Boston willie
