Wc havc always thought, nnd icnulu of the sauio imprcsslon stlll, tliat onc grcat rcmcdy for hlgh and exccisivc cliargcs for tho transportatlon of trclght and passcn gcrs, hy rallroad conipanlc.i, would be found in the conslruction of compctlng llncs. So far as frcight Is conccmcd, foi thogreaterpaitof tho ycar, thcso compct lng llncs nccd not, ucccssarily, bc .'allrrads. A largc class of frcight, that, for instancc, in thc transportatlon of whlch a hlgh ratc of cpccd is not rcquircd, can bc carricd by water ns wcll as by rall, nnd much cheapcr too. Without stopping to eoiisidcr tho qucstlon at lcngth, wc may lake thc arti clcs of marblo aud elatc. If n new liuc of rallroad was constructcd from Hutland to Whltchall, or a caual if fcasible. it would neccssarily rcsult, If owncd aud managed bya compctlng corporatlon, In nu hiime diatc rcducllon of thc ratcs or tariff of frcight on slatc or maible, betwccn the placcs raentlnncd, as, also, hotwccn thosc ,.i tuicrmotUnto placcs, nnd llicreby ic ducc thc pricc paid for slatc nnd marblo nt distant points. Tho natural rcsult would ho nn Incrcaso of Consumptlon and a consc quent Incrcaso of production. Thls would bcncnt Rutland, Castleton, Fairhavcu nnd In fact, tho wholo county, and, probably, the statc audcountry. The same cffcct would be produccd on tho price of coal. Coinpe. tition, nccording to tho laws of trade, In. crcascs consumptlon and production, while lt lcssens the prlco. 'Tho wholo net profiis for a ycar, of tho produccr, carricr and dca ler arc, also, incrcascd. Tho pcoplc of Maluo havo long cnjoycd this bencllt, but lt Is now to bo taken from thcm. Thc Boston and Jlalno and the Eastcrn rail- roads both havo thelr tcrmlni in Boston and Portland, and havc compcted for tho buslncas of thcso points. Thcy havo ccascd 10 uo sucn aud liayc bccomo a combinatlon. An agrecment has becn entered Into by the two corporatlons, hy whicb it is agrccd tliat their rcceipta for through busiuees shall bo "pooled anil Uiyldcd" ln a ccrtain ratlo. This mcans, of coursc, hlgh ratcs of frcight hcreafter.
