Tho New Y- .k ledger remarks that

One the most uu:q io institutions

A now railway system has come into

actual distance, undone uniform price
is charged for all station! within the
same zoae. Tho new arrangement
amounts roughly to a reduction of
twenty-live percent., and tho first two

three hundred per cent. Tlie change
is believed to mark an important epoch
in railway history all over Europe.

At , session ■ of ~T~C~ the National Cigar
a
makers’union, at New Y ork, on 1 pcs

where high wages are paid there was a
decrease in production. In Netv York
