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. And in so far as this is the case, the law of trade, that the supply of a thing will be based on the demand, is modified. The abeyance is only momentary, however.
