THE LEGISLATURE AND THE RAIL
ROADS.
It appears trom the communication of our
Milled geville correspondent, published in
Wednesday’s issue, that the Legislature is
looking sharply after the Railroad Compa
nies. The House of Representatives has
passed a bill fixing, specifically, the tariff for
transportation in conformity with the rates
allowed in the charter of the Georgia Rail
road, which are one half cent per pound on
dead freight for one mile and five cents per
mile for passage.
While the adoption of restrictions that
may result Injuriously la their operation upon
the railroad interests of the Slate would be
exceedingly unwise, it must he conceded,
nevertheless, that the subject of cheap freight
is one so intimately connected with the pub
lic weal as to demand a prudent exercise of
legislative authority In the erection of bar
riers against the well known tendencies of
all corporate bodies to self-aggrandizement,
regardless of everything else.
The establishment of a uniform, perma
nent and reasonable tariff of charge*, appli
cable throughout the State, is a matter in
which all classes of our impoverished people
are more deeply interested at this particular
juncture than at any former period, for the
reason that they, and not the Western pro
ducers and Northern manufacturers, have to
pay the high charges that have ruled for
several months past upon the vast amount
of produce and merchandise required to sup
ply necessities which bad been created by
the havoc of war. They must have the flour
and grain of the West and the cloths man
ufactured in the North, and are compelled
to pay whatever price the transportation
companies of railroads and steamboats may
choose to ask tor bringing these indispensa
ble articles to them. The enormous railroad
and steamboat charges on articles of prime
necessity have fully aroused the suffering
people of the South and they aie now giving
very emphatic expression to their determina
tion to submit no longer to tho exactions of
the transportation companies, and hence the
interposition of the legislative authority to
correct the great evil.
Iu regard to the exactions of many of the
companies much excuse may be found in the
fact that immense damage was inflicted upon
their roads by the heavy demands made upon
them in the pailitary service of the late Con
federacy and the destructive operations ot
the invading armies; which could not be re
paired without money in hand to meet cur
rent expenses. But it is fair to pfesurae that
the traffic during the last six months has been
sufficiently remunerative to meet all financial
exigencies, and that they will suffer no
damage trom the reduction of rates contem-
templated by the Legislature.
Complaints again Bt excessive charges for
transportation is not confined to the South.
Much transportation excitement is prevailing
throughout the entire West. It is asserted as
a matter of fact, that it costs three bushels of
corn to send one to market a distance of one
hundred miles. In addition to this grievance
of high charges, is the insufficiency of the
land routes to carry the constantly increasing
balk of grain seeking a market at the East
and South. The mode of relief suggested is
the improvement of the navigation of the
Mississippi river by means of canals around
the upper rapids, so as to secure uninter
rupted water communication with the At-
iaatic and Gulf States, and thereby cheapen
transportation. The idea is for the
General Government to build the canals
and remunerate itself by Imposing tolls.—
The extent of the dissatisfaction with rail
road companies is indicated by the incident
that one hundred and twenty-three of the
leading firms of Chicago have addressed a
series of searching enquiries to the various
railroad companies entering there, touching
the comparative rates of freight upon pro
duce and merchandize. The Western peo
ple are interested ouly to the extent that
high ireight tends to check consumption.
They scorn to think, judging trom their
newspapers, that if they can re luce the
freight on flour from sixty to thirty cents per
barrel, the thirty cents saved will go into
their pockets. But no such thing. It will
be saved where the freight is paid—at the
East and the South—by the equivalent de
cline in the cost of the flour that will occur
here. The price of grain to the Western
forme, a will be regulated by the law of sup
ply and demand. If the supply be small
and the demand large, he will get a high
price, no matter whether the railroads
charge much or little for carrying it to market,
and if there be abundance, he will obtain a
less sum, without regard to freights, except
that if freight be low, that fact coupled with
a low first cost, will lead to increased con
sumption And enable him to sell what would
otherwise remain unused on his hands- It
is the consumer and not the producer who
pays the freights. On this ground even the
question in the far West is one which seriously
affects the people of the South, when cheap
food is now a thing of vitai importance ; and
the people of the South should units through
their Legislatures, with the people of the
West to see what can be done to promote
their joint interests in the premises.

OUR RESOURCE*.
We offered some remarks yesterday on a
lecture delivered by Mr. H. C. Carey, before
the American Statistical Society of New
York, of which the chief topic was the abil
ity of the United States to sustain a war of
unexampled violence and unparalleled ex
pense, with no diminution, bat rather an
augmentation of material resources. Mr.
Carey attributes the fact of such augmenta
tion to the Protective Tariff passed in 1861,
called the Morrill tariff Now, as Mr. Carey
is the great exponent of the Protectionists,
and as great efforts are making, to increase
the duties in Congress, by operating oh pub
lic opinion, an examination of bis conclu
sions has become necessary.
In oar previous remarks we have endea
vored to show that Mr. Carey has assumed
certain periods of our history when legists
tion has followed the ebbs and flows of our
prosperity as the marking points of our in
dustrial history, from which is to be dated
its advance or retrogression. Thus after the
war came to a close with Great Britain in
1818, the system of free trade was initiated,
and from a state of unbounded prosperity,
all was changed to the opposite. The coun
try was laboring under paralysis, and con
tinued so until 1888, when the first efficient
tariff for protection was adopted. Then all
was again changed. Industry revived until
the second era of free trade was inaugurated
bv the compromise tariff of 18S2. All was
again changed. Free trade had prostrated
every interest until the year 1842 saw every
pursuit languishing, when protection came
again for the third time to resuscitate and
revive all interests. Once more the Ber-
pent of free trade made its way into our
legislation, and with the year 1867 came the
culmination of the system until the war
came to redeem us. For the fourth time
protection c*me, in the shape of the Morrill
tariff, to place our prosperity on its real ba
sis. This is the monument of onr greatness,
according to Mr. Carey the Morrill tariff is
the source of that marvellous power by
which we have been able to prosecute a war
of gigantic proportions tor nearly five years.
Now the error of this reasoning is that Mr.

pany to be held at the Coart Honse,

Governor Parson Brownlow,
Whig, “pitches into’’ certain Southern cler
gymen as follows:
‘ Impudence or the Devil.—The highest
standard of impudence known in the Eng
lish language is what is termed Me impudence
of the Devil. This has recently been excelled
in several instances by rebel clergymen of
the South going North and addressing loyal
assemblages of people, and asking contribu
tions to aid the Methodist, Presbyterian and
other rebel Southern churches. Alter preach
ing treason, praying treason, and writing,
talking and looking treason, and getting
most gloriously whipped out, these Reverend
traitors come back, take the amnesty oath,
go North and solicit contributions of the peo
ple they have been villifyiDg and fighting, to
aid their rotten and corrupt Churches. The
devil has a great deal of brass in bis old iron
clad face, but he could not do this thing
without a blush 1"
Curious Law —Law and justice do not al
ways travel hand in hand. A man who was
g uilty of a great crime near Albany, N. Y.,
as been all the time at liberty on bail, and
finally escaped altogether, while-his victim
was kept in prison from May until January,
eight months, as a witness. The person
wronged was a poor Irish girl, with no
friends, while the scoundrel who was allowed
' escape was rich and Influential.
Carey has selected certain periods of our bis
tory, as the bas'13 of his reasoning, in which
there was a coincidence between the acts of
national legislation and certain recurring
periods of stagnation nnd inactivity as the
natural preludes and forerunners to excite
ment and over stimulation, and which suc
ceed each other most inevitably as cause and
effect. If Mr. Carey consults English history
he will find precisely the same succession be
tween repose and quietude and preternatural
activity and speculative excitement that has
characterized those periods of American his
tory which he has selected for comment.
But another cardinal mistake of Mr. Carey’s
18 that he assumes that to be a com* of pros
perity which is in fact an obetruction. The
country has prospered within the last four
years, not in consequence of the Morrill tariff,
but in spits o/* ><.' Had it not been for that
tariff the country would have been much
more rich and prosperous than it is. Still,
his argument has for its foundation an ex
tremely narrow basis. He fi*es his attention
on one cause as the source of increasing
wealth, and ignores all those sources of pros
perity which have concurred in producing
the great result.
Let us briefly enumerate them: l. The
discovery of gold in California and Australia
This has given an impulse to enterprise and
industry in all parts of the world. The Uni
ted States have largely participated in this
advantage. It has stimulated their produc
tive power from their Dear neighborhood to
the mines. This accession of metallic trea
sure has had a decided tendency to advance
prices everywhere.
2. The vast increase of Mechanical power,
as shown by the Invention of labor-saving
machinery in agriculture, in common with
the other arts of life.
3. The influence of steam in extending the
means ot transportation and travel.
4 The corresponding effect on the general
powers of invention, dr the various processes
tor economising labor, and even in extending
scientific discovery under this general im
pulse. It is tbe concurrence of these circum
stances—all tending in one direction, 1.«. the
augmentation of tbe masa of material wealth,
that has enabled tbs United States not mere
ly to compensate for the waste of war, but to
lucrease their prosperity, and even to add
greatly to their riches, despite the destruc
tion of capital. - To fix the attention, as Mr.
Carey has done, on one eause exclusively,
(supposing that It baa had any agency in
producing tbe effect) Is in the last degree un-
philosophical. But we have shown that tbe
alternations of prosperity and adversity that
have marked certain periods of our history
are the natural effects of those changes in the
public mind which mark those eras of com
mercial history by which languor and stag
nation so often succeed to preternatural activ.
ity and over excitement
