Their conâ€" demnation of cheap freight lines and the cifferent azencies which bave grown up in our railway system for transacting specialâ€" | ized lines of business shows a great miâ€"unâ€" derstanding of the tend»ncies of mode‘n industry. .

It is said that it now tikes eighteen men to | make a pin ; and pins of course are now much betier made, because of the ex. | ceedingly accurate and educated spe cialized induâ€"try brought to bear upon | the manufacture of this uâ€"efu! domestic | implement. â€" The true solution of the railway ?uu- tion seems to be in the application of the can«l system to the railways. ‘The canals are owned by the State, and any person can run boats in them byâ€"paying a speciâ€" fied toll~ There is and can be no monoâ€" poly on @ canal. There wili be no mono poly in roé‘.rouh, but absolute free trade, when this system is applied to them also. Uf cours@ this relief o our industry is not possible until all the great trunk lines make the saune chinge which the Diâ€" rectors of the New York Central are now _ «flecting that is, _ have two | tracks for freight and two for passenger traftic. With such tâ€"acks, owned by the General Government, and allowing anybody to run express, sleeping or palace cars, and chaâ€"ging therefor only what is necessary for keeping the road in repair and paying the salaries of the officials, l we will have a nearly perfect railway sys All schames that look to S:ate or natior â€" al control of the »iailroads or the construcâ€" tion of new lines from the West to the Eit are fall«cious and do no good ; and the advocacy of them only serves to re= move a little further into the future the assumption by Government of a few of the more important trunk lines whereon to try the ex periment of cheâ€"p and speedy transit for the millicn This postpone â€" meunt so far simply prevents people from getting an alleviation of their railroad troutbles. e There is one thing the National and State Legislatures can do, which would be of great public advantage, and which, curiously enough, ‘he Cheap Transporta« tion Assciation did not demandâ€"and that i=, all posâ€"ible publicity in regard to railtoad transactions.
