Tho real moaning of the Westorn movement, however, is but very poorly understood hore, and this want of correct information s leading to dome very erroneoun and damaging conclusions, Tho London Times, whioh losca mo, oppor- funity in londing tho British publio estray upori American-affairs, has already put s false con- struction upon the matter, which, to some ex- tont, hias had the effcot to alarm English capital- ints and ' WEAKEN AMERIOAN SECURITIES, The Times insists that it means ultimate ro- pudistion ; thatitis a blow simod indireotly at Europoan investors in American railroad scoun- tion; that invostments in tho Westorn Biates will, socnor or Iater, bo conflscated by tho action of the people ; aud that tho'prosent movomont menns the forcing of tho railroads into bank- ruptoy, and tho moro surely s0 bocanse English capitalists have largo investmonts in Westorn roads.

There i8 ono word which moro than any other charms capital ; and that word is securily.

'I'he motto of this movoment expresses bub balf its munuin% It s not the moa that Western ‘produce wants, but 3 THE MARKETS OF EUROPE. . It should never be lost sight of, that the ‘Wostorn producer forms but one factor in -this {n‘oblem, whilo the European consumer forms ho oihor. The intercsts of thoso two extremes are identical. ‘They - wish to be put in ensy and cheap communication with onch othor, Tho Wostern farmer should say most emphati- cally to tho Eeatern laboror, that this movement means nothing more nor less than an endeavor to socure A PAYING MABRET for his produco, * Youare at one ondof the line, and wo aro nt the other, and we wish to put 8 6top to & etato of things which leaves good food on our prairies to rot, whilo men starve in Europe,—worthless at ono end of the lino, and too dear to bo purchased by the tolling millions at the other.” ‘ Firat of all, let the farmor bo pnt right upon this question. Botween him and his market he finds the railrond, and, aftor payiog tho elmrgus, he has littlo or nothing loft; and porhaps it is but natural that ho should strike his firut blow at tho rallroad.

To tho citizons of n‘cnunu‘y in which all tho ropulsive mystoriesof ** Erio and similar casos have been for yoara. runuing thoir course, such a proceed- ing 2s I havo supposed can appear noither un- usual nor difficnlt of boliof. ore ¢an, I think, bo but little:doubt that .the farmers have, vory gonorally, como to undorstand. thelir ‘intorest in choap traneportation of thoir firmlnne to Europo; and furthor, that, owing to tho opering of the: navigation of tho Bt.-Lawronce to the Ameri-, cans, and from othiok roasons, that the direction’ in which thelr thoughts wore turning was, to tho improvoment of tho wator-communication; bath for internal carriage, and from tho Lako_porls, via the 8t, Lawrence. In formor lottorsI have montionod that were such o disposition to mani- fest itsolf, no atone would be left unturned to dacoy thom away from- their purpose; - and for this reason, that, woro thoso- canses to convoy the heavy agricultural and othor produce to tho lake ports,” mado, and -tho water ways from thoso ports to tide-wator on tho 8t.

And a8 s ro- sult following on that, it is possible that the “ wiokod.might conso from troubling,” and, in- stend of Russian oncroschments and influenco sproading in all diroctions, the news 'from that quarter would then consiat ohiefly of such events 04 sho haa. plontifully provided for other coun« tries—insurroction—rovolution — and dismem- borment. But, to suppose that stops leading to thoso rosults would be quiotly nequicaced in by tho Russian diplomatists would bo to com- nro them with the ordinary politiclans of Burope and Amorics. The Beotch have 8 provorb which, in such a . caso, wo may ymflmhls recall: *Thosd who sup Droso with thedelincodhae alang spune; and ua~ less somo among our frionds of tho * Granges™ will apply thomsclvos to tho not very difll- cult task of maling themselves acquainted with tho nima and tho method of the Russian Cabi- not, they had much bettor spare themsolves any furlher trouble in the matter. . Thoso soquaint- od with tho Russian method. know that tho means eho uaually takes to frustrate the forma- tion of o canal opposed to hor intorosts, is, in Bomo way, to.bring in tho question of n raflway. Thus, tho Suez Railway was used to dolay tho making' of the Buoz Oanal. From tho momont’ it was proposed to canalize tho Euphrates Rivor, instantly is proposed 88 ° an _ improvoment the Euphratos Railway. The offoct being to prevent the canal orks bolng undortaken. When the Uttawa Rivor waun{ was proposod, although it rocoived o govero blow , from tho well-known leading articlo of tho Times, and from tho prococdings of tho Govornor-Goneral, taken without tho ad- vico of Council, yot the coup do grace to.the pro- ect wan glvon no doubt by tho Intornational allway of Cannda. Aud now wo find history “ ropeating itsolf” within ten yoars, snd searcoly any ‘ono i the wiser. Ton yoars ago we find— thon, a8 now, the Btato of Illinois—moving i tho matter. Thelr nction waa thon directed tos ward tho Canadian Provinces, and their propo- sitions woro warmly entortained by tho Cana. dians ; but thoso who undorstood Russia, and who'lind studiod tho mannor in which Lord Pal- morston had, for fifteen years, dolayed the com= mencement of tho Suoz Uaal, knowing also that tho Illinois Commissioners did not undorstand Russis, thoy know_that those Commissioners would bo boaten. In lottor nddrossed to thos Commissionora they ondeavored to instruct and aseist thom, bus, it was of noavail, Now, tho uestion is, will the farmers of to-day bo wisor than thelr predocessors of 18637 Thoy have this advantago in thelr favor, that they aro fore- warned,' In tho present case Ruesin and tha railways can work cordislly tufoll.\ur, because both * are in the samo._ boat.” 1f, on ono d, the Russlan: exports . would = bo rnined® by canals, go also would the mnnogoly of tho carry- ing trado by tho railways. If tho onterprise and intelligenco of the farmers bad beon lott to tako tho direction of Improving and ‘enlnrgmfi tho dirgot_route of wator- communication, Iussis and the railway monopoly would both bave been subjocted to & procoss of ** palnless extinc- tion,” 11, thereforo, wo look ai the matteras one of policy, it would clenrly bo to the intorest of tho railways to ot anco engage the farmors in o Quixotio and nnbusineselike contest with thom, and for which thoy hiave probably fully propared. In such a contout all the legal nnd political ohis cang, of which they baveso Iarge a control, would no doubt be brought into play to delay and ro- slat, and to exhaust tha resourcos of " their op- pononts, until the main body of the farmers dis~ tod and dishoartened, would withdraw for a ime from any effort to help themsclvos, The strogglo Laving, ns you, sir, bave pointed out, Hhio Facthor Donstt for tho railways of preventing any now capital being investsd in competin lines, But thero are otlier considerations beyon those I have already put forward, Lot us sup- ose that by Btate and Foderal Legislation the Tarmers wucoood i Imposing foir own. torms on the rallways, we should, perhaps, only have an {llustration of the old proverb: *‘That ono man can take & horso to wator, but forty cannot make him drink.” But, i all {he railways were die- posod to work to the utmost of thoir powor, they would be unablo to convoy mora than, porhaps, » quarter of what tho agricultural Statos could produce. Again, I think it must bo acoeptod, a an_axiom, that to sond hoavy and low-priced goods long distances by railway must be un- rofitablo cithor to the ownor of the goods or o ho railway carriers. On tho comparatively sliort English lines, the margin omm ton the cmlns: of heavy goods is but small, In a bal- onoo-shoet of the Grost Wostern (Lnglish) Tailway, somo yours ago, it nppearod that tho incomo had, witbin s ehort_timo. doubled itsols, but_tho dividond to tho shareholdors romainod as beforo, the oxplanation being that the incronse of income aroso from carriage of heavy goods, and that tho expensos of car- in, tfiom had” equalod thoe recoipts, Whon the E)-vur, practical mon of the Great Enstorn Railway somo yoara ago wero forced ta appeal to s momber of that much dospised body, the House of Lords, to help them out of the slough of despond, it was stated by the Marquis of Salisbury, - during ono of the disonasions, tha railways in purely agricultural distriots would not pay, If this be trae as rogards tho shogk linos of this country, f"h' ps wa ought not to expoct too much from lincs similar distriots in the Unitod Biates. The United Statos farm- ors may rely on it, that turn aa they may, thoy must turn to the water-if thoy wish to keop in the raco.
