EDITORIAL OPINIONS Of THK LKADIHQ JOURNALS UPOS OTJEBENT TOPICS COMPILED EVEBI DAT TOB THE IYENINO TELEQBAPB. TIIE RAILWAYS OF THE UNITED STATES. From the If. F. Tim. According to Mr. Ilenry V. Poor's Rail road Mctnual for 1871-2, now just published, there were in operation, in the United States, on the first day of January, 1871, C3, 145 miles of railroad, of which 0145 were opened the past year a greater number than in (any previous year by 2000 miles. The total earnings of these roads during the past year were $450,000,000. The gross tonnage transported over them equalled 125,000,000 tons, having a value of more than $10,000, 000,000. Their cost may be put down, in round numbers, at $2,400,000,000. Their mileage, in ratio to the population of the conntry, is as 1 to 723. Their earnings equal $1175 to each inhabitant. The tonnage transported equalled 3 tons to each; the value of this tonnage equalled $282 to each. "All this vast tonnage and commerce," Mr. Poor remarks, "has been wholly created by the re duction effected in the cost of transportation. The cost, for example, of transporting a ton of Indian corn or wheat over ordinary high ways will equal 20 cents per mile. At such a rate the former will bear transportation only 125 miles to market, where its value is seventy five cents per bushel; the latter only 250 miles, where its value is $150 per bushel. With such highways only, the most valuable of our cereals will have no commercial value outside of circles having radii of 125 and 250 miles respectively. Upon railroads, the cost of transporting these artioles equals only one and a quarter cents per ton per mile. With these works, consequently, the areas within which corn and wheat will have a commer cial value will be drawn upon radii of 1G00 and 8200 miles respectively. The area of a oirole having a radius of 125 miles is 40,087 square miles; that of a circle drawn on a radius of 1000 miles is 100 times greater, or 8,042,406 square miles. Such difference, enormous as it is, only measures the value of the new Bgencies employed in transporta tion, and the results achieved, compared with the old." The rapid growth of this colossal interest is as wonderful as is its present magnitude. In 1851 there were only 8870 miles of line in actual operation in the United States. Their total earnings that year were $3!),40G,358 a sum which equalled only $155 per head of population. In 1800 the number of miles in operation were 30,035. Their earnings were $153,175,000, or $4-98 per head. In 1870 their earnings equalled $1175 per head. The annual increase of earnings from 1850 to 1800 was $11,370,804; from 1800 to 1870, $29,082,500, annually. With the progress of railroads in nnoocupied districts it is proba ble that from 1870 to 1880 the rate of in crease of earnings will be, annually, one dol lar per head of our population. Such a rate would give for the present decade an annual increase of, say $43,000,000, or aggregate earnings of nearly $700,000,000, yearly, at its close. The rate of increase of our population is about two and one-half per centum annually. Mr. Poor estimates, from the rapid progress made in the mechanio arts, that the produo tive capaoity of our people increases in four fold ratio to that of their numbers, and that, consequently, the wealth of the country doubles with every decade. It is certain that the railroad tonnage of the oountry was three times greater in 1870 than it was m loOO This rapid inorease of national wealth is solving, most satisfactorily, the problem of the future of our national debt. If the wealth of the oountry increases at the rate of ten per cent, annually, the revenues will increase at a similar rate, provided thsre is no reduction in that of taxation. But the rate of taxation may be largely decreased each year, without any reduotion in the amount of revenues collected. Such is the fortunate position of this country, compared with that of any other. In no other is the annual increase in the population and wealth an element of hrst-rate importance in the cal culations of the statesman. The position of our Chief Minister of Finance, consequently, is a most fortunate one. The wind and tide are always in his favor. Each year one mil Uon are added to the list of tax-payers, Their constantly and rapidly increasing means will more and more confirm them in their traditional policy of considering their publio debts in the light of commercial trans actions, to be fully liquidated at some future day. In other countries the payment of pub lio debts is a proposition not to be enter tained. They are institutions a part, as it were, of the Governments themselves. In this country those who contracted our publio debt are the very parties wno are to pay it, and they will never rest satisfied till it is fully liquidated, as have been those created on two previous occasions, and which were far more burdensome, considering the number and wealth of our people, than the present one, Of the ultimate extent to which the con struction of . railroads in this country will be carried no estimate can be formed. They are to become the common highways of our Eeople, and their progress in the future is kely to be much more rapid than in the past. Even in the old States a great extent of mileage is now under construction. The adoption of narrow gauges, of from two to three feet, by reducing largely the cost of these works, will greatly stimulate their construo ' tion. There are now in the State of Massa chusetts one mile of '.railroad to every five miles of area. A similar ratio for the whole country would give an aggregate of more than 000,000 miles of line! While such an extent of line is not possible, there is no doubt that upon an area ef 1,500,000 square miles railroads will be rapidly constructed, till the ratio now existing in Massachusetts is reached. Their progress will, of course, de pend largely upon that of our population: but their construction will prooeed in a ratio muoh more rapid than that of our numbers One of the most interesting facts in con nection with these works is the enormous power which our great oompanies are rapidly aoquiring, by means of consolidations of con necting or competing lines. Ihe rennsyt vania Railroad Company, for example, now controls, absolutely, 3318 miles of line, the cost of which is $247,970,032, with earnings of $50,034,004 for the past year! The same company has an indirect control over a large additional extent of line, its revenues are al most equal to those of an empire. Other great companies are not ur Denina. The power possessed and wielded by them, whether for good or evil, is now attracting unusual at ten tion, and muBt take the first place among the subjects that are henceforth to agitate the publio mind. It is to be said, in commendation of Mr. X oor wora, mat it is purely impartial. Ua gives a faithful abstract of the condition of the various companies, leaving it for the public to form their own conclusions. To aid in this he has presented comparative statements of the conditions of all our great companies for a period of ten years. This is a very important and valuable feature of the work, as such a length of time is sure to bring out whatever is good or bad in the management or condition of a company. The whole subject of railway eoonomy has now become one of paramount importance, and we are glad to weloome this valuable contri bution to it. THE NEW EDUCATION. From On S. T. Tribune. The annual burden of commencement re ports pressing once more upon our columns, will hardly be received this year with the familiar ridicule of college education with whjch, every twelvemonth, a certain class of reformers used to Etir the ire of venerable dons and callow graduates. When the young gentlemen who bad spent four years in the sooiety of Horace, Euripides, and Euclid, learned all about Greek roots and accidents, and acquired more or less intimacy with boating, tobacco, and the higher mathe matics, came upon the piatiorm on Com mencement day, to salute their assembled friends in a language those friends could not understand, and to declaim a few rhetorical commonplaces on lofty themes of criticism and philosophy, it was so easy to doubt whether the acquirements thus exhi bited were really of much use in this busy practical world that the friends of classical education began to fear for the destruction of all liberal culture in the clamor of the utilita rian school which the summer commence ments never failed to excite. And indeed the colleces did a great deal to deserve criticism. They fell into the mistake of believing that the liberal culture which sufficed to adorn one century was broad enough to satisfy another. The curriculum of our best colleges ten years ago was substantially that of our grandfathers times excellent and comprehensive in that day; but now, when the relations between the scholar and the worker have been so strangely altered, when science has taken such an enormous development, the learning which used to embrace all that the most accom plished student wanted is only a small part- important, if you will, but a small part alter all of a really catholic education. But it is clear that in the matter of educa tion we are now taking a new departure. No one can study the condition of oar colleges without perceiving how rapidly new systems are displacing the old, ana how oar most en lightened instructors are quietly settling the old feud about classical studies, not by de grading Greek and Latin from their time honored eminence, but by combining with them all the new arts and practioal modern sciences upon which so much stress has been laid in recent years. It is a sort of combina tion which would have been thought impos sible a generation since; yet every year shows it more and more successful, and the annual commencements become in oonsequenoo more interesting to the outside multitude, and less open to the little jokes of the irreverent. Thus the colleges are reforming them selves, and giving us a broad culture which looks equally towards intellectual strength and refinement, and immediate utility. The great Beats of learning are opening soientifio schools, and expending their best energies to adapt them to the needs of the oountry. rrao tical agriculture, chemistry, mining, metal lurgv, are tausht with at least as much care and thoroughness as the theoretical sciences, To take examples that lie at our own door Columbia College has come to place upon its scientific course and its sohool of mines a dependence quite as great as upon its olassl cal lectures; and the university or the City of New York has just enlarged and reorga nized its scientific department, and estab lished for the arts and sciences a complete and separate faculty. It is not only in the Kind of education supplied that our colleges are advancing, but they have also become far more liberal in offering it to the whole people. Thus the New York University announces that hereafter its collegiate course will be abso lutely free to all. Cornell University not only furnisheB an education entirely with out charge, but goes a step further, and gives every student a chance to work for bis living. This is a characteristically Ame rican improvement npon the old system of charitable foundations; for Mr. Cornell under stands that to let a man earn his bread and butter is better than to give it to him. At Ithaca, accordingly, the poor lad may be supported without sacrificing his indepen dence, and take instruction in books, in the aits, in the trades, and in domestic economy all together. There, too, theory and practice are united in a more perfect manner than in any other establishment of learning in the world; and if experience jus tify the expectations of its estimable founder, this institution will mark the era of a totally new sort of university culture. Again, Vassar College represents the principle established only within a few years if, indeed, it is quite established yet that woman has a right to the best eduoation the age is capable of affording; that all the sciences, all the arts, must be open to her if she chooses to follow them; and whatever we may think of her right to join in politioal shindies, staff ballot boxes, or build barricades, we suau stead fastly maintain her right to the very highest intellectual culture, or the pursuit of any honest knowledge. A college such as this cannot fail, and cannot but be the exemplar of many others. The University of Michigan is no whit behind Cornell and Vassar; liar vard. Yale, and many more are likewise broadening the culture they oiler, and open ing wider and wider means of aooess to it. A more complete and many-sided education; greater facilities for extending it in any one desired direction without being compelled to prosecute it in others not desired; easier ap proaoh to it alike for both sexes and all classes these appear the most marked tendencies of late collegiate progress. With them our colleges seem to be entering upon a new career of usefulness, in which we shall all wish them prosperity and honor. nORACE GREELEY FOR PRESIDENT. FromthtN. Y. World. It is not to be disguised that the candidacy of Horace Greeley for the Presidency is tak ing hold of the Republican masses in a way that troubles and disconcerts the mere politi cians and wire-pulling managers of the party. That he is an inconceivably better representa tive of all the ideas of his party than General Grant, or indeed than any of the dozen can didates for whose creation and preservation the Tribune is more than half responsible, is too clear to need proof. Rut it is not wholly this reason which has given such unexpected impetus to the movement started by the Texas journey, the demion of the carpet baggers, the tribute to General Lee, and thj l.ivtrniore letter. It is the absurd persoual liking for the man Greeley which prevail throughout the ooantry ' la all homes Where his sweet tory comes'' in the weekly 'lribune. Doubtloss the objeot of this popular personal liking is a quite ficti tious entity, not at all corresponding save in some obvious outlines to the actual person whose daily walk and conversation have been observed and understood by those nearer home. But the Republican masses would vote for Greeley as they think him, not for Greeley as in truth he is; and the means do not exist for exploding this apparition and revealing the man. '1 he 1 nbune might do it, as it has exploded the phenomenon of Conkling; but then the Tiibune won't, and so the fictitious and misunderstood Greeley will remain the real and popular candidate. And it is the fact with which politicians must deal, who understand their epoch and expect to accom plish results. Kuch politicians control the cuioago m- lunt, one of the most influential journals of the Northwest. It is a free trade journal, though Republican, and has had more perso nal quarrels and political differences with Mr. Greeley's Tribune than any other paper in the country. Rut it comprehends the import ance of the Greeley movement. Ia one point we should differ with the Tribune. Mr. Greeley (as journalists we regret to make the admission) wants office, lie has always wanted it, from the time he broke with Seward and Weed till the time he ran for Comptroller and for Congress. But this alienates none of his strength, for the reason that the Republican masses see how the politicians have always cheated him of a nomination whenever his party had a chance of succevt, and put him forward when nobody else could be got to run a hopeless race. And if the voters of his party get it into their beads that faithful service to his pnrty had better for once be completely rewarded with the best oflice in the people's gift, they will take small account of his weakness in desiring a distinction that can add nothing to his power, and will take great account of the faot that the men most opposed to his candidacy are the politicians whom he has lashed for their incompetency or their corruptions. lor our own parts we should rejoice at sach a Bqnare anti-protection issue as his candidaoy would give us, and to use one of his own comparisons, will put into an onion all our tears at seeing him again remanded to the tools he can handle. TIIE FUTURE OF CAPITAL. From the A. 1". A'ativn. The London Spectator said, the other day, what we must all acknowledge, melancholy as it is, to be true, that, if the performances of the Commune do nothing else, thoy will do a great deal to secure a more persistent and earnest attention frotu the public at large for the reconciliation of labor and capital. The rising of June, 1848, caused Louis Na poleon to provide a substitute for the national workshops, by reconstructing a large portion of Paris at the publio expense. The Fenian risings produced the state of mind in Eng land which at last made it possible to dises tablish the Irish Church and to amend the Irish land-laws. It is very likely now that the bloody work in Paris will do much towards convincing people not that the theories of the Commune can or ought ever to be embodied in legislation but that the fact that large bodies of men hold such theories is a serious faot which it will not do to slight or ignore, and with which intelligent and philanthropic men must make some attempt to deal. There is nothing of Nvhick the world is at this moment so greatly in need as peace and harmony be tween classes; no great advance in civilization beyond the point we have already reached is possible till this is brought about in some way. Two systems of industry have been j - i ti. . l i - j i- ' ineu iuus tar, tue protective auu me com petitive, and neither of them has settled or Bhows any sign of setting the relations be tween labor and capital on a satisfactory basis. Under both, the capitalist is growing very rich and powerful; under neither is the condition of the workingman ceasing to be precarious and uncomfortable, and under neither does the contrast between his condition and that of the employer become less striking and exasperating. If we take any of the great branches of industry which the steam engine has called into existence cool, iron, cotton, and wool we find that, taking the civilized world as a whole, while a very large number of great fortunes have been made in them by the capitalist class, and while the habits of that class have grown ' very luxurious, and nearly all the good things of life, including political power, have largely fallen or are fall. ing to it, the condition of the working people engaged in them has not materially changed, or, at all events, has not improved in anything like the same degree, laeir houses are per baps a little better, their clothes a little cheaper, and their savings a little larger than II 3 X 1 1 L . 1 " T mey useu to u, uut me wur&iugmaa buare of the pleasures and graces and rehnements of life, and, above all, the distance which separates him and his family from want, has not much increased within fifty years under either the regime of free trade or protection. In this country the contrast between the la borer's condition and that of the capitalist is not so striking, or to the workingman so off ensive, as in Europe, because, partly owing to the state of society here, and partly to the natural resources of the country, the passage from the one class to the other is easy and constantly made; but the tendencies which people are deploring in Europe are at work here, though less actively. We have our trades unions, labor reformers, and so on, just as they have in Europe, but we have also fertile waste lands which they have not in Europe; and this takes the fizz and sparkle out ot the preachings oi our demagogues and blatherskites for the present; bat the waste lands will not last always or last long, and we are almost as much concerned as any people in having the labor question settled out of hand. We do not believe, as our readers know, that anything is likely to be done towards this desirable consummation by legislation; we believe liberty to be the only sound and safe and permanent basis for industry, the liberty to buy and sell, and make and mend, where,wben, and how we please. We believe, too. that any attempt to provide by law any other measure of a man's deserts in the social state than the amount ef his own labor, or the value put on the product of his labor by his fellows in free and open market, would in the long run be destructive to civilization, or at least to our civilization. A society in which the majority decided what I was to do, and how much I was to get for it, and in what manner I should expend my earnings, might exist, and enjoy a eertain kind of prosperity, we freely admit. Jut it would not be a l ealthv society, or a society through which humanity at large would advanoe. It would not be a society in which human charaoter would gainin strength, or foresight, or persist ence, or in which human intellect would gain in power or flexibility, or in which the stores of human experience would be enriched. It would be a dull, dead, monotonous, bald, and barren society, fat and well clothed, no doubt, but with few aims or aspirations above those of a settlement of beavers or prairie-dogs. We hold, therefore, that any men, or body of men. vsho Ettk to substitute such a state of society for the one in which we now live, are to be opposed by all moral and mental agen cies at our command, as long as they confine themselves to agitation and argument; and whenever they attempt it by force, as they do in Prance, we hold that if war be ever lawful for any object what ever, it is lawful to wage war upon them, and destroy them to any extent that may be necessary to secure peace. Of all the perni cious and immoral talk of the day, none is, to our mind, more pernicious, absurd, or im moral than that which claims a peculiar sanctity or reverence for the folly or violenee of workingmen, or poor men, as such, and which excuses and defends, in a working man or a poor man, crimes and absurdities which would damn any other men to in famy, and convert any other men int9 publio enemies. Doubtless, at the bar of Supreme Justice a murdering ruffian like Rigault, the Tublio Prosecutor of the Commune, who ppent his last night on earth arranging for the slaughter of innocent "hostages," will have all proper allowances made for his trials and temptations and congenital imperfec tions; but it behooves the sober, sen sible, industrious members of the human race, to whose care civilization is committed, to remember above all things, in dealing with such people, that it is not their duty to mea sure out to Rigault and the like of him ab stract justice, as they are not competent for any such task, but to see that he and his fel lows do not imperil those great foundations on which human society rests men's cer tainty that they will enjoy the fruits of their labor, their confidence in the permanence of the leading social conditions around them, and in the gradualness and peaoeableness of all changes. To introduce complete uncer tainty about the future into civilized life is to take from it the feature which more than all else distinguishes it from savage life, and to kill useful human activity at its very roots. The elevation of the working classes will come from co-operation. It is only in this way. that is, through the combination of labor and capital in the same hands, that whatever is now offensive in the difference in the life of the laborer and capitalist will dis appear; and co-operation will only become possible through the workingman's growth in intelligence and self-restraint, it is through co-operation, and not through hate and level ling laws, that workmgmen will finally come to dress like capitalists, go home to comfort able and well-ordered homes, and refined and rational amusements, as capitalists do, and get abhare of the enjoyments other classes get from leisure, books, and travel. Nobody now takes anything from the workingman except what he surrenders through want of thrift, foresight, self-restraint, and mutual confidence. Rut there is no doubt that there is a long interval of time to be bridged over . before co-operation be comes bo general as either seriously to affect the condition of the laboring population in any country, or to reconcile them to the con trast between their life and that of the capi talist class. We have undoubtedly many years of envy, hatred, malice, and heart-burnings before us, and, during that period of transi tion, undoubtedly the larger portion of the responsibility for it all will necessarily fall on the capitalist. His resources are greater, bis training is better, and bis crosses are fewer and easier to bear. There is, it must be admitted, something grotesque in the comparison sometimes made in the labor diaonssions between his - "anxieties .. and those of the laborer. It must be remem bered, too, that it is quite plain that he cannot secure himself peace and quiet by preaching the laws of politioal economy. This has been thoroughly tried both in France and .England, and has failed. In both these countries, the working classes have constructed a political eoonomy of their own, in which Adam Smith counts for very little, and at the bottom, of their system, though less apparent in some places than others, is the theory that capitalists are drones living on the proceeds of other men's labor, who ought to be either banished from the body politic altogether or else despoiled of a large portion of their yearly gains. In England, the latter dootrine is gaining most ground, under the influence of the hostility excited by the large idle and now almost useless class of landed pro prietors. In France, particularly in Paris owing largely, we believe, to the ex tent to which that city is the resort of men of wealth who give themselves up wholly to sensual indulgence, under the eyes of a large body of excitable workingmen, who are also extraordinarily eager for sensual enjoyment themselves the utter extirpation of the capi talist class, and the prevention of the aocu mulation of wealth in the hands of indi viduals, is sought with almost Satanic energy. The Poaitivists, who have come to the sup port of the Commune, have provided an hon ored place for the capitalists in their system, namely, the directorship of industry, under the superintendence or in spiration of the Board of Sages, who are to form the spiritual power in the Comtist society, and who are to impel them to self abnegation, publio spirit, and good works. This is unquestionably the nearest approach that has been made to a solution of the ques tion in what way the working-class hostility to capital can be assuaged, until such time as the working-classes beoome themselves owners of capital. The rich men of all countries will have to be coeroed by publio opinion into a deeper sense of the responsi bility which wealth imposes on them than the mass of them as yet show. Extravagant and ostentatious living must be discounte nanced by the great body of the community more than it is now. Giving.and giving freely, to charities, to institutions of learning, to all sorts of enterprises which have the moral - and physical culture of the mass of the people for their ob ject, must be insisted on more earnestly as a duty, and an imperative duty, and not treated, as it is now, as a work of supererogation, which an honorable man may let alone if he pleases. In short, the facts of society the temper and condition of the working classes, the share which they have in creating wealth, and which, though not reoognizable legally in the distribution of wealth, the capitalist to whom the wealth comes is morally bound to remember must betaken into account by rich men in regulating thoir lives. Mr. Peter Cooper, who may be pointed out as almost an example of what the capita talist ought to be in a better social state to which we trust we are yet com ing, made the other night in his ad dress at the Cooper Institute a touching and admirable statement of the principles which ought to govern the relations of the two great divisions of industrial sooiety and they may be formulated by saying to every rich man, after he has pocketed hid half-yearly dividends, "You have now got your rights as an owner of capital; but the minute you leave this office your duties as a social being begin, and you are no more en titled in the forum of morals to neglect thtm than to fail to pay your pecuniary debts; and they are the more imperative because the best interests forbid their being enforced by law."
