A conventjon ealled by the Stato Farmers’ As- sociation of Ilinofs, but ngt conflued to this State, will assemble in this city to-day, to con- sider tho questiop of railway transportation. Tho paxtioular objocts sought to bo accomplish- od o set forth in the call whish wo publish eleowhoro, "o the delegates attending this Conventlon, a8 well s to those of the National Board of Trade, whobave todeal with the same question, wecoms ‘mend thopoceh delivered yostorday by Col. R. P. Morgan, Jr.,at Danvers, MeLean County, fll. To this pubject Col. Morgan has brought mnot osly lnrgo oxperience, but, 88 we couceive, a high do- geoa of impertialify. o hus ombodied tho, ro sults of his oxporience and obsorvation In an ex- tremoly logical snd comvincing srguniont. Though ok elairing to hieve entiroly solved the problem, Col. Margan shiows that compotition among railwave must be takon a3 the basia and atarting point of all atiompts at legislative con- trol. Ho bolieves that tho common law s law enough for all practical purposoes, if ofticiont ma~ chinery is provided for ifs enforconient, and that tho rates which sailways establish for thomuolves | ‘at polnts whore competition really. exiats. are aa Jow as aro pompatiblo with & fair roturn to the capital actually invested in them. Lowor rates. than those cannot be had, aud ehould not bo do~ mandod. o SR Arbitrary ratos of freight charges to bo fixed Dy taw, Col, Morgan holds to ba tmpractioable. Maximum ratos are only a trifle less g0, and aro a8 apt to work adversely to the publio as to tho raflways, It it is Impracticable for s Btate Logislature to fix arbitrary ratos for railways within its own jusiudiction, 1t is for more ko for Congroas to attemps such logiulatjon for tho whole country. It is likewlss visionary fo px-- poet Congress to appropriate the public funds to build npw railways. Such a procoeding would involve stupendons and nover-ending cost sud far-renching corruption, 14 would likewise be unjusy to exluting railways, and would forover deter privato capital trom that form of Inygut- meut, ploge thore would bo no guarautee thet: it would .mot bp immediately deatroyed by Governmont compotition, against which no private ontorprise could contend, The propoat- tion that Congress should charter (ngt couatryct) ntorsSiate rellways, offors uo eliof, since the railwaya 8o ohinrtorod would bo owned by privato corporations tho samo as oxisting railways, and would Inovitably bo govorned by thoso samo principlos, . . Having brushied away thess and soveral othior orrors and mlsconcoptions, Col, Morgan reaches the conclusion that whero compotition oxists, whothor It bo tho compotition of railways with ench othar, or of railways with wator lines, the lowest rate of cliargo, compaliblo with & falr roturn for tho capital investod, Is found. This rate tho common law authorizos us to considor & roagonable rato.

Porhaps tho most important question to bo considered by the Natloual Board of Trado is.’ that of a roturn to spocio psymonts, The ‘ro- cont panio has oxploded much that was fraudu- lent and unsubstantinl, and business has gravi- tated, without sny publio offort, in the divection of spaclo - payments. Tho par of silver and currency is very moarly, if not quite, roached, In soveral localition, eilver coin is already in uge in small transoctions, A large number of persons, howover, sssumo that thoro is dangor; in specio resumption ; that it will contract the currenoy, cramp trade, and tond to perpotuato tho existing atringoncy,. Theuo persons—and we as- sumothat thoy will bo roprogented in the Nation- al Board of Tradé—offor- 88 & remody, or B8’ thoir substltuto Tor spoclo rosumption, & plun for providing a « foxible curroncy.” This flox- iblo urroncy plan is simply that tho United Statos shall make greonbacks aud bonds ox- changeablo for each other; so that s holder of- bouds can at any timo got greonbacks for them, and tho hiolder of greenbacks at any, time got bonds for them. ‘Wo have favored this :plan In times pdst, but not on tho ‘hypothesis that it would topd to’ postponoe specie paymonts. On the contrary, we ‘think it would haaten specie resumption, It is commounly supposed that undor it, . whenovor - there l‘nfln demgud for ourroncy thore will be a voluntary conver- sjon of tho bonds snd “on issuo .of groonbacks equal to fho exigoncies of” tho momont; ‘and that; when tho, ocoasion:has poseed, tho’ surplus curroncy will find its. way beok to the Treasury for roconversion' into bonds, “Dut’ can’ such 8 rosult bo slwsys' de- pondod upon? Théro I8 a very sovore stringen- cy-now, but this stringency. doos not provail amoug tho bondholding clags, They can gob nll tho greonbacks they want by ‘solling their bonds in tho opou market.

If, in addition to tlus absoluto scourity and payment on call, tho Goverumong offers in- terest, it Is likely that every dollar of currency, {lio momeut {t s disangaged, will b invested in convertible bonds, As-the banks will hereattor poy n6 {ntorest on blances, all unemplosed do- pogits will bo likely to fiud its way into these jutercst-bearing bonds, - and, -though savings banke may offor G per cent intersst on dopo- ite, peyable after aixiy daya' notice, the groat ‘mafority of depositors will prefer & national bond bearlng o lowor rate of Interest, but convertible on demand: into currency.

It may, therefore, result in such o contraction of the currenoy that epocio piyments will be brought about by tho vory means intended to postpone thom. Itis nothing else than. {ho offer of tho Government to poy intorest on its past-due motos—which it aught, of course, to do, unless it §s propared to rodeom them in cuin, i .

Tho effeot upon tho grooubaaks would bo twosfold, Thoir value would b ingrased by & diminution of-thio smoiint in- circulation, sud thoir valuo ‘woutd be made equal to that of au intorest-bear- Ing bond."

Can tho Board, roprosovting as it doos tho commoroigl 1ntorests of the whole country, do bottor than tomeet this subject squarely by doolar- ing in favor = of epeclo yesumption? Havlng dono this, then the Copvention should consldor and mature gome plan to bring it about. It is possible that ou nvestigation the bond- greenback plan may bo found to bo tho most offcgtunl. It may be, however, that a ropoal of tho Logal-Tendor act, cxcopt aa to past contraats, and the permansut funding of ‘the greon- backs iuto bonds, would b evon bottor.

X . s LOAN-CERTIFICATES IN NEW YORK. Thore is roason to bolieve, from Now Yorl ad~ vices, that tho strong banka of that clty will bring » piossure to boar upon the Gloaring- Honeo to abandon the system of pooling groon- backa and making sottlomonta with cortified chooks by tho firat of noxt month. b would not bo ‘surprising if, in tho falluro 'to bring this about, tho atronger banks would secede from the Oloaring-House, and allow tho othor banks to stand or fall on thelr own merita, At all ovonts, it fs ovidont that tho stronger bauks cannot afford much lopger to bear the, atrain which this systom pats upon thom in earry- ing tho woskor banks; sud, " whon the practioo is finally absndoned, whethor by. sction of tho presont Cloaring-Houso or tho with- drawa) of tho notably stannoh institutions, itis altogater Nkely that somo of tho New York banks will have to go Into lignidation. Itdoes not appear that tho amount of lonn-aertificatos has boon materlally reduced within tho past two .wooks, Tho bost advicos indieate that there aro ‘now 20,000,000 of them. Tholr nature Is that of a make-shitt, tho adoption of which merely ! postponed the day of sottlement. ‘When they shall bave coased to bo recognized by tho bank- ing community, and currency payment shall have boon ‘rosumod by the strong banks, sll the banka which hsve nob boen able $o convert » sufficiont amount of tholr billa roceivable to moet tho demands for ourrepcy'that may bo doors and wind up their businoss, . L * A brief axamination of the practical working of this loan-oortificato business will convinco any ono of the dsngor to tho strong banks of & much longer coptinuation of tho systom. If thero are now $20,000,000 of loan-oortificates outstanding, it smounta practically to thia: Tho strong banks bave loaned 20,000,000 to tho woal banks, Undor tho prosent systom, s certi- flod ohook on any batk in the Clesnng-Houso, must bo accopted by overy other bapk.in the- nssoclation.

Wa da not bolieve thst theso demands of the strong bankers on the ‘gue, side, and of the morchants on the othor, will [permit the con- tinustion of the prosent practice boyond the close of October.. When it is dropped, it is al- ‘must inovitsbls that soma of- the New York bauke ehould go down, But it is botter that thia should ensue than that thoy should bo sud- tained in o weaknoss' that promises to gt no bottor, ‘and ot the oxpenso sud porll of the banks' that aro sotuslly strong.

'The change of the banks from tke dobb system to the ‘chsh Bystem may.not .only lead to tho suspensiop of pomo of the banks, but probably to 86ms moroantlle embars rassments requiring oxtensions. It is botter to look toxward to theso contingenoles than to be surprised aud frightened fnto s paxilcky relapse by thelr ocourronce, Tho bulks of tha sufforing that will bo ‘occasionod by tho change will be confined to New York, and thoe sooner tho falge aystom ia exploded tho less damage i} bedone.
