The r'slim Peelle Standard.
What was tho state of the Union Pa-
cific when first built? It was of iron,
not steel. It was made of suets had and
light iron that long before it e t t finish-
ed the rails on the portion first construct-
ed were worn out. The structures up-
on it were practically all of wood. The
reports upon this road were to be view-
ed with suspicion. It was, like other
Pacific enterprises, a, subject of great
scandal. The Gu,vernntent inspector,
wha had been appointed to guard the
national interest had been bribed to the
amount of something like $150,000. He
was the person who superintended and
made arrangements for the inspections
and prepared reports, so that the inter-
ests of the country night be inside to
harmonize with those private interests
at whose instance he received those
large sums of money. Notwithstanding,
however, that the very inspector was
corrupt, the report of the secretary for
1868, when the road had been construct-
ed for the greater portion of its length,
and had been running for sometime,
was something like this: There were
some grades of 80, some of 60, and nu-
merous grades at 90 feet to the mile.
The track without exception had been
laid upon the baro roadway without
having been previously prepared. In
places where the track had been laid on
gravel it was entirely without ballast,
the surfacing having been done by
throwing up material from the embank-
ments themselves. West of Omaha a
number of structures deemed perma-
nent even the bribed officials could not
be induced to say were permanent, but
only deemed so. There was 150, and of
these only one was iron. There were,
besidesthese, 1194 structures, on an aggre-
gate in length of eight miles, which even
these interested parties felt bound to
class as temporary. It was, in fact, a
road built upon stilt., and the replacing
of these temporary bridges and making
the road tolerably safe for travel cost
the country between $6,000,00 and $7,-
000,000.—Hon. Edward Blake's Speech.

A5.11tlen of the Market Fees.
We have free tolls, why not free mar-
kets ? The farmers have made up their
minds that they will not any longer pay
a fee for the previlege of coming to
Stratford with their produce. What do
they get in return for their ten cents ?
Hua ropf to shelter them been provided ?
Have they a fire to warm them 1 Have
they any privilege beyond that of liberty
n to stand with their load in our Market
Square ? But it is said that the low of
revenue to the town will be great and
there will he no corresponding advan-
tage to be derived from the abolition.
Int us see. The market fess average
about $2,000 per annum, about $800
will be derived from the weigh -scales,
and the probabilities are, that as this
question a now beginning to be agitated
through the county, and as both farmers
and merchants shew a strong and de-
termined front in the nutter, no person
would be so insane as to give anything
but a very low hid for these fees, when
they come to be knocked down under
the auctioneer's hammer to the highest
bidder. We are quite sure looking at
this question without predjuioe, the
town upon the whole will be benefitted
by theirabolition.—{Stratford Chronicle.
