SOME REFLECIlONS.
To many thoughtful men, the ques-
tion of transporting the products of
any part Of the country to the place
of consumption, is the most important
one of the day.
In considering this matter, so many
things are to be viewed it seems most
complicated.
A glance is sufficient to show the most
thoughtless how aecessary to our pre-.
sent civilization is some method where
by one section Of country may hav'
the use of articles i can never produce.
Not only so, but every country has
surplus of produce to be carried to
market and either sold for cash or ex-
changed for products Of other
countries. ~
For instance: North Dakota raises
a surplus Of wheat which must be
taken to market, and in return we
must bring back clothing, fuel, &c.
The cost of carriage is added to all
these articles and is paid by the con-
sumner, hence it isIso his interest to
have that cost as small as possible.
Right here we want to remove a
popular delusion that our wheat would
net US more money if freight on it
were less. The fact is, the consumer
pays the freight id all cases. We can
readily see that goods brought to us
are greatly inoreassd in price by the
cost of tra"sportion, hence we see that
the consumer of our produce pays the
freight. If this be denied, we are
shut up to the proposition that we,
here, pay freight both ways which is
manifestly absurd.
But the bare fact that what ia
brought to us from different parts of
the world would cost US less as the
cost Of transporting it decreases,
should be suficientsto cause us to work
for cheaper rates
But in additieasfa this is the fact
that our produce, while netting us the
same as now, would be much cheaper
to the consumer, whoe living would
cost him less and thus enable him to
sell us his products at lower price
while netting him as much clear mon
ey.
Another feature of this question is
that, while immense labor is expended
in moving articles from place to place,
the labor does not add in the smallest
degree to the intrinsic worth Of the
articles transported, but rather detracts
from that value.
This is notably the case with fruits
and vegetables which depreciate mat
erially during long hauls. In such
cases, rapid transit and few transfers
are features to be considered.
The Importance Of this subject being
SO clear, we are in better condition
to give our serious attention to it, that
we may if possible get at the root of the
matter and settle, in our own minds at
least, what steps should be taken to
give the people the benefit Of the low
est possible rates of transportation.
This is surely duty Of government
and one of those duties that cannot
long be evaded.

Mrs. Stowe once conducted school fog
freed negroes.
Not only the incidents of the story,
but several Of the characters are taken
from her Cincinnati experiences The
Simeon and Rachel Halliday of the
story were Levi and Catherine Coffin,
earnest and active Quaker abolitionists,
