they' can. Of the ofliws;of these boats,‘no complaint 1 is made. The object is la unite public opinion, and so direct it that the evils growing out of this monopoly shall be remedied. All monopolies arc.public nuisances, and incases like the quo now ci’mplaiued of, hard to remedy. There is an old proverb that says—“that what is everybody's business, is nobodie*s." In a. case like the - one here complained of—men “grin and bear it," became it wilt cost each one more time and tabor, and perhaps money, to get evenbanded justice than H ttt/l come to, - when obtained.. One boot after another has tome into this trade to compete w ith those already in it, for a share qf its profits. But as soon bs competition comes to the rescue of the cheated public, down goes the fare, as 1 much below living profits as it was above them; and then the aew comer either backs outj l or is bought ©IT, when again "pop goes the weasle;" and prices go up os quick as they went down. This game has been played so Jong, and so often, that romt, people begin to think the Mail Boat monopoly all powerful, and almost despair of a remedy. It may possibly be even so, butpntafify nol. .The present competition comes from a responsible and determined source, and will make no conceptions that will noisecure regular end fair prices, on the whole line' of the Indiana shore, between* Uaoisou and' Cincinnati.
