Canrox, TiL,, Aug, 0, 1673, Tv the Kdlitor of T'he Chicago Tribune: 8m: Whilo there iu n stroug offort on tho part of sonto of the leaders of thio various orders of Patrons of Ilusbandry, Grangen, Farmers' Clubs, ete., to ignoro tho quostion of politics, it fn ovi- dont, from tho lato movemonts in McTLoan, Du- reau, and othror countios of our Stute, that thoro is too much intolligonce among the roal fermory to bo hoodwinked by any such tomfoolory. Tho substantial causo of complaint o8 mado by tho farmora is, that railrond companies and othor forms of organizod capital ean, undor the operation of Iuw, oxtort from, discrim- inato ngainst, and gonorally oppross thom a8 & clags, How, then,. can thoso extortiona and oppressions bo romedied or ro- lioved oxcopt by o chinugo in tho law; and how oan tho Iaw bo changod withaut a chango in onr National and Stato logislation ? and how can this chiango be brought about without discussing the principles involved, &ud voting for men who, whon clocted, will ombody the prinoiples neces- sary to correct thoso abuses, iuto, and give thom the forco of, Iaw? If you, or “any othor man," know how to bring this dosired result nbout withont entering inlo polities, I wouldJiko to know it ; but I havo too high an opinion of tho intelligonco of our farmers as o clasa to beliove that thoy will ke of thomsolves political eu- auchs at the command or dictation of tho “ Hoad Centre " or Genornlissimo of thie Ordar. To show that the c¢auses of complaint and ihieir romedy are to bo found in National rathor then Btato legislation {8 tho objeot of this arti- cle; and that tho necossary chauge can only be effected by farmors discussing polities, and vot- g for membors of Congress who will bring about the required chango, q Lot us seo how ono form of Inw ombodied in ot highly protective tarifl boars dircotly upon tho question of freight charges on our railrosds, by roason of tho groatly incrensod cost of iron, stecl, and eopper, which entor 8o Inrgoly into the construction of railronds, locomotiven, cars, &e. ko duty vader tho proudut law: i < ot pif {ron, 7 por ton; iron rails, 14 per ton ; stoel raily, £25 por ton; boiler and plate iron, 830 per ton; polishod shieat iron, 60 por ton frin and ingot cuppor, $100 por ton; locomotive fire-hox uhcots and manulactured coppor, 45 por cent ad va- Jerom ; aud 50 on through tho whola list, rang- ing from 85 to 60 por cont duty on tho coat. Now, what is the effect of theso hign duties upoh tha cost of {bo articles above montioned? ha prosent prico of Scoteh pig-iron in Now York i3 £51 per tou, Tho averago prico of tho eamo articlo in Now York on tho 3d of Jauuary, 1858, 69, and '60 wes $25,16, Iero is an ad- vauco of ovor 100 per cent. Lake Suporior pig- iron is quoted in Chicago, Aug. 4, 1873, at 950 Prica of bar iron it Now York, July 17, 5 to S0 per ton; price of bar iron in New York, Jau. 10, 1860, 358 per tou; prico of ingot coppor, July 17, 1878, £570 per tou; price of ingot copper, July, 1860, 3150 par ton; nud %o ou through the list, ranging from 25 to 100 per cont advauco on all theso articles giuce tho Prwago of our presont tariff lnws, That this increased price of nil theso staplo articles of railrond wio mnterinily increnses the. firat coat of a railrond, none will dony; Lut fow aro aware how Iargely those enhancod pricos add to tho cost of ropairs snd runving expensce, theraby adding Jargely to tho Iroight-churgs; Tinw Iarggoly, wo will 10w attompt to show. Tn 1859, a8 reported by State railrond ofticials, wo find the following results: 1.350 miles of railrond In Mnseachusetts roturned $9,771,378 gross raceiptn; 26,561,974 oxpouses—mating the exponses 651¢ por cant of gross procecds. + 1,170 milng” of rmirond in ‘Tenncuee, $3,483,- 570 gross recoipls; 91,643,275 cxpeusoy—or 46 por cont. ? 1,438 miiles of railvond in Virginia, inolndin 287 miles of Bultimore & Ohio Railrond, 2,81 218,82 grosw recoipts ; $1,256,107.88 oxpentcs—or 44 per cont. e New York Contral and branches, 621 miles, €6,200.818, pross rocoipls; 93,310,120 ox- penses,—or fi por cent. Thus wo soo that the ratio of oxpensos Lo grosa incomo in 1859 wns from 44 Lo 5514 per cont ; und it may bo rufely nssumed that in° 1860 the nval‘nFo per centof oxpenses to grosa receipts, on all well- mauagod railroads did not exceod 50 por cont. Buthow is it now ? I willnot go into dotail, a4 overy ono conversant with the snbject knows that tho ratio of exponses to grous rocoipts i8 from 65 to 70 por cont; probably 663§ por cont would bo below theg nverage. Now, how does thif increaso of th working axponacs of rail- roady from 50 to GG por cont of their gross earnings uffeot tho producor in marketing his produce? Beforo answering this question, lob morny Lhat thoro is n force in mechunics callod the compound lever, sometimes used in crushing processes, and 1 think L will be able to prove that this incressed cost in tho con- struction, oquipment, and_ropairs of railronds, Ly reason of our hight protective tarifl Inws, ncts With the foreo of & compound lever in ernshing ont the values of farmors’ proanee. I think all will ndmit that tho Into incrensed cost of iron must uccessurily jncrease tho first cost of railroads at least 25 por cont ; and I have - shown by netunl slutistics that Lhe averago Tatio of eXponso to grass carnings has mereasod from 0 to G634 por cont,—equal to en advance of .’Ifl,',{‘\ur cent, Now, bear in mind thut any railrond company silicro tho expemies nre 60 per cont of the gross incomo, must earn nnd Teceive 32 beforo thoy can divido £1 Lo the stockholdors, and when tho exponson nvo 62 por cont thoy must cam and Teceive 31 bofore they ean in like manner divide &1 Lo the stockhiolders, A ratdroad costing £40,000 por milo, working up to its fair averngn capaeity, in transporting u given amount of freight, yickling o gross incomo ©F £4,800 por mila, aftor deducting G0 por cont (24.100) for exponses, could divide 6 por cent on the cont ($2,400) to the stockholders, Now, in- eronsn thu cost of building o railvond 25 por cont, and incronse the ratio of oxpenge from 50 to 663 per conlund_ what must il chargo on this givon umount of freight to produco tho samo results to thoe stockholders? Tob us seo: 25 per cont addition will muke tho cost £50,000 yer milo, and it must now yleld a wrons incomo of 59,000 por milo (instend of 21,800) in vrder to ay G por cent dividond ($8,000) Lo the slovk- Ru\dcrfl, after dedneting 6637 por cont ($6,000) of itn groks incomo for rapnits and oxpolse.

A Defense of Its Govornments To the Rdttor of The Chicago Tribune : S Sm:—Tho lottor from Cologne, publishod in ‘Mg Trouse o fow days ngo, ls so obviously shallow n production, {t4 statomonts of fact A0 scanty and i'l-choson, that it must bo aurprising to many rondors that Tie TRINUNE whould, with- out hesitation, make Uie viows of tho writor its own, as it g dono in o leador of tho samo lssno.

An absolute and despotic govorument is ono in ‘which tho laws are made and exccutod by & per~ son, or & numbor of porsons, who are not re- aponsiblo to tho . pooplo governed, and who shape thelr action to suit their porsonal wishes and intorests, In Goermany, no law has Dboou mnde for twonty-fivo Yunrfl which hins not been approved by & Logis- aturo olocted by the poople thomsolyos ; and olections in Gormauy aro as freo from fraud and oxocutive interforonco as thoy are siywhoro on tho globo, rug, thoro oro many Iaws on tho statite-books of Gormany which, In Ropublicen uivas‘ must nkpnnr illiberal and out of dato ; but, if any of thom wore very. opprossive, public opinion would soon compol their ropoal. x Tho political apathy of the Gormans, of which zm\ speak, and which must be goncedled, arisos, n no smull dogres, from tho fact that govorn- mont does not press hard on them, Vooplo who aro opproused vory soon conso to bo aputhotic. This is cloarly shown by the history of tho Pross lnw to which your correspondent allndes, but which hoe dogs not balf toll, In spite of tha ponnlmitfl of Bismnrck, who intro- duced it into tho Roiobstug, and in’ tho faco of Lis most powerful pleading, the Inw_had to bo withdrawn in deforenco to n_genoral sontimont against it ; and nothing could bo more smusing than tho alncrity with which ilu. aubhorship was deutoed by every une conneetod with it. Furthor ou, you tny: ‘‘Government in German moens {hat orsonal rights, personnl opinion, personal religion, por- rounal - education, and overy, athor (udlvi&\ 1 thing, must submit to tho will’ of the State.” The rights of person und proporty sro nowheroe in the world snfo from illogal intarforeuce by tho Governmont or privato porsons than they are in Gormany to-day. A comparison in that rospoct botween. that country aud ours would lead to vory unpleasant results forus, I know of no placo in Gormany where the police e judicial suthority ; and, whila abuse of powor is cortain- 1y not unknown thero, it is not nesr 8o froquent na it is iy this country.
