the insurgents apparently realize that

OPPOSED THE STAGE COACH.
An Ancient Economist Who Thought
1t Would Ruin the Country.

1t Would Ruin the Country.
The first stage coach seen in England
was about the year 1853. and another
100 years passed before stage coaches
began to run; they were not received
with much favor. In 1913 treatise was
published in, London by "a Lover of
His Country, and Well Wsher TO the
Prosperity Both of the King and King
DOM" in which were used many cab
crate arguments and violent TRADES
against them.
These coaches and caravans" said
the writer, "are one of the greatest mis-
Chiefs that hath happened Of late years
to the kingdom, mischieyous TO the
public, destructive TO trade, and pre- iu-
| dicial to lands"
He laments the decay of good horse
manship, which would follow if every
body rode to London In a coach. lie cal
culates that coach from York, Chester
or Exeter would have 40 horses ON the
journey to the capital and carry IS pas
sengers week. In the whole year it
would carry about 1872. Suppose there
were returning passengers, there would
be 036, and for these 40 horses would be
sufficient; but if people Travelled in the
good, old-fashioned way, then at least
900 horses would be required for the
work. The use of so many horses would
give employment to many who were
by the stage coach thrown out of work,
such as cloth workers, diapers, tailors,
sadd,ers, tanners, curriers', shoemakers,
spurriers, lorimers, and fellmakers.
The inns would also suffer, for the stage
coach stops only at few, but when
gentlemen Travelled on horseback, ac-
companied, as they usually were, by
two or three servants. they stopped at
any and as often as they liked, and thus
encouraged trade.
Farmers will be ruined, he says, by
the stage coach; for Sow can they dis
pose Of their hay. straw and horse corn?
Moreover. the influence on health would
be bad; men called out of their beds be-
fore daylight, hurried from Place to
place until far into the night, in the
summer stifled with heat and choked
with dust, in the winter starving and
freezing with cold or choked with filthy
fog, obliged to ride all day with
strangers and with sick, ancient and
diseased persons and with children cry
ing; poisoned with fetid breaths and
crippled by the crowd Of boxes and bum
dies. Besides all these troubles there
were accidents arising FROM the rotten
coaches and foul roads.
In short, the writer is fully convinced
that If stage-coach travelling becomes
popular the country will go to ruin.
Had he lived to see the railway he would
have been bereft Of his senses.-N. Y.
