The report @f the Quéen's ‘Commission, appointed to investigate the con- dition of the railways ot Great Britaio, ani make report as to the feasibility of chgapening the cost of transport, is said te be very satisfac. tory The following extract from the data com- piled by Mr. Galt, of London. will be read by people in this country with interest : Mr. Galt says :—«What could be more inter- esting te the public tham to hear the chairman of the North: railroad inform his share. holaers that the cost of coal at the pit’ — — they’ vets ‘ » 44 mach a ton, cou! ver it at such a ‘ice, which would lea: profit.

An outcry was made by the shareholders of the Eastern Counties railway against their chair- Man for carrying coal at rates that did not pay wer to the charges he gave the following minute detail of expenditure signed by the traffic manager : Mr. Gooch's t: “This traffic is worked in fall trains. "Esch train contains not less than thirty wagons, at 6), tons each, 190 tons net load; for which the sum paid by the con- tractor is Ss. 7d. mile, or about % peany T ton. The cost tw the company is as fol lows: ist. Locomotive power. 2d. Guards . | 3d. Green lamps snd oil... | 4th. Permanent way . ‘oth, Management and empty, euly earn- ing money in one direction, this account must be douoled; and would give a total sum two shilling two pence faithing, or 53 cents, to earn | 8s. or showing a profit of nearly 300 per | cent. As ae contractors found the wagons, | Which might be calculated at 3Xd.a mile, the | entire expenditure would be brought up to 2s. 6d., or 60 cents, for the double journey. Tae cost, therefore, for conveying each ton of coal is Is. 4d., or 32 cents, for a bundrea miles.” “The policy hitherto acted upon by railway directors, and, considering them as traders, not | an_ unfair one, has been to keep the public in | complete ignorance of the internal working of our railway system, so far as regards the ex- tremely low rate at which passengers and gouds can be conveyed on railways.” “When the public comes to know that a pas- senger can be conveyed one hundred miles tor two pence balf penny (or five cents,) for which | hets charged eight shillings and four pence | (or two dollars,) and that a ton of coal can be trought from the north of Engtand for about a sbilling (24 cents,) the cest being there six or seven shillimgs. and the price in London tour or five times that sum. it requires no prophet to foretell that the days of railway monopoly, in private hands, wiil in this country (Eng- land) soon be numbered. But however great may be the ts accruing to the people from the low fare system, they are unattainable un- der the present mode of management.” Why cannot the Government of the United States institute a competent commussion to ex- amine into the workings of the railway system ofthis country? It seems to us that we have men competent for the task, and that the country might be vastly benefitted by it. H. ANDRBDOW, D.
