The question is asked again and again, how far does the law of political economy apply to railroads ? How far does the law of supply and demand govern ? In the end, absolutely. But for the moment it may be modified, -to the extent that railroads are built in advance of their needs, because of donations of money, lands, credits, rights, privileges, immuni- ties, franchises, or otherwise. * The rule that a thing- will not be created until it is needed, or beyond its need, does not apply in such c...ases. Wherever artificial stimulants are applied, artificial enter- prises will grow up. It is to the aid extended that we owe largely over-production in railroads. Wherever special inducements are held out, they are certain to encourage enterprises in advance of their needs.
