An official statement shows that the average freight tariff per ton per mile on eighteen leading trunk rail. roads in 1870 was 2.005 cents. In 180] the average tariff of the same roads ia not quite 1 cent per ton per mile (80.925) In the same period there has been a very marked increase dn the government tariff. Both facts are worth remember. ing in any connection, and especially In connection with each other, for as the reduction of the railroad tariff has made trade easier, the increase in the Federal tariff has made it harder. Railroad tar. iffs are not half as high as twenty years ago while the Federal tariff is over a third higher. A Versatile Man, The Atlanta Constitution thus does up the Postmaster General in short metre: “It takes a very able man to run with the world, the flesh and the devil and have the church at his back all the time. When a man can mise a $400,000 corruption fund for Quay and at the same time pose as a model citizen he is not to be sneezedat. When a man ean be hand in glove with the Keystone Bank swindlers and still dominate Bethany Church he is altogether too handy to be thrown aside when his peculiar talents are needed by the cor. riiptions now in power. It is to be feared that leading Republicans have impressed these views upon the Presi. dent and convinced him that he cannot afford to let the Postmaster Genera) go."
