SLIGHTEST possibility that it may become
law. .Lo,-
oura article yesterday was devoted to snow
inc that competition in trade is not always
necessarily beneficial; that restraints upon IL
are necessary. and that the true restraints
mon IL arise out Of the natural laws OF TRACE
itself. We propose to illustrate that propo-
siton this morning with some facts taken ou'
of the developments Of railroad Transports
ton.
The Census Office has recently issued It's
fourth bulletin on railway statistics covering
the period between 1850 and 1889 inclusive ana
this shows some verv remarkable facts. Inc
bulletin covers the northern sections OF tho
Southern States, that IS Virginia. west VIZ
GINA. North Carolina and South Carolina
where. as is we'll known. the whole tendency
Of railway management during those ten
years was towards the ending Of competition
amongst railway lines and consolidation Oh
them under single arrangements
1t shows that the rates decreased during
those ten years from about one aud q haif
cents per ton per mile which was the average
rate in 1850. to little over three-quarters OF a
cent per ton per mile in 1889. What lesson
but one can be drawn from this astonishing
fact?
1t is that the business Of railway manage
ment like all other branches Of business.
aims at bringing prices down as low as posi-
bic. because thelower the rate the more bust
ness the railway gets, and the larger the ton
mage hauled by it the more money It makes.
IL makes more money hauling q vast tonnage
at low rates than it makes by hauling small
tonnage at high rates. The railway aims at
lowering its rates as much as possible. be-
cause it thereby builds up the country along
it's line, and as the country builds up trailc
increases and revenue 10 the road.
A very striking illustration Of our PROPOSE
ton is 10 be found in a comparison Of the
rates on the Terminal system before the rail
roads of that system were combined under
)ne management. with what they are now.
The authorities of that company have kindly
compiled for the following table showing
he rates in 1851 as compared with the
ates in 1891. The rates are all per hun
lred pounds except in column Z, which is for
lour. and that is by the barrel The table in
,ludes every class of freight, and each ship
)er knows to which class his freight belongs

An examination Of this table shows that

A bill has been introduced in the State
Senate 10y Mr.. Washington Of the Westmore-
land district. which provides for the settle
ment Of the oyster question which ike the
debt question, with which it is closely con-
nected as furnishing the most practicable
means, if properly dealt with. of meeting the
interest accruing under the terms OF the new
arrangement. is one Of the most important
matters which has demanded the attentive
consideration OF the Legislature. This bin is
marked by a number Of features which rem
der It's passage as altogether inadvisable. be-
cause utterly repugnant to the best interests
of the State.
Under the terms of the Washington bill
one or more inspectors shall be appointed by
the county court, or the Judge III vacation. TO
remain in Office for term OF two wears. thu
principal duty Of each inspector being to re-
port quarterly to the court the amount Of
fines. fees, rents and taxes collected bv him
and his deputies. 1t is specially provided
that the inspector shall be skilled in and
acquainted with the oyster industry a
