The parent company an*. the sub-compa:iies arc really one *tupetid<in$ concern, the profitableness of which probably exceeds that of any considerable property known to this age of profitable ventures. as soon as ine pr&ciicsmwy una usefulness of the telephone had been established there was a great rush in all directions to secure territory and form sab-companies. These subcompanies have since been largely consolidated, and in May, 188o, there were thirty-six in existence in the United States. The one holding sway over the city of New York is known as the Metropolitan Telephone and Telegraph Company, which itself has four snb-companies or sub licenses T>! - rr..l ....,1 Tola AliC iA^UIC>UC JL ClC^i <ii?vi a^jcphone Company, of New York and New Jersey Telephone Company, the WeetchesleY Telephone Companv and the Staten IslandTelephone Company, In the thirty-six sab-companies referred to above no account is taken of the sub-licenses. In New York the Metropolitan stands for ail, and the dealings of the parent company are with it solely. The parent company has an interest in all the thirty-six sub-companies of the United States. The aggregate capital ot these sab-companies amounted to $53,000,000 on the 31st day of March, 18-S5. If we adil "to that the $10,000,000 authorized capital of the parent company it tuttKts tt jjmiiu total of $60,000,000. It' lli'; parent company were to be granted the additional 820,000,000 of authorized capital stock they have asked for, the grand total would foot up $83,000,'XK), which is S3,000,000 more than the capital stock c.f the YYe-tei n Union Telegraph Company. "Without a check ot some Sort it will coon reach that and even still greater proportions THE GEASP OF THE PARENT COMIWXV. The interest of the parent company in the various sub-companies is very large ranging-all the way from 33 to 51 per cent. On the 31?t of Match, 1885, its holdings in the various companies amounted in round numbers to 240,000 shares, the Yalow ot which Wfc,* estimated at $23,000,000, so that, of the agjrroiratc S&5$,0UU,<m0 of stock held by all the mid-companies coinbined, the parent company held a!nm>t \ graph (-ompaiiv to 62,li>G >!iu:ts, ji:kI its Imiiiitigts it: the Central Union IVI ? ghone Company t?> about twesiu-foiir thoa>and shares. These share- in -;iL?coiu panics were obtained in two way.-; one l?y so-called purchase,the ?;liier by franchise, the latter term meaning simply a gift for the r.jr;ii to exist, while the purchases made atv no more that: certain transfer of properties upon which there may be piaerd a ti-> tirions value.

The combined wealth ot the subcompanies may be ascertained, ?t least approximately, by calculation* ba<e<l 011 the la.-t reiK>rt of the p:irei.t company, issued to its stockholders March 32st, 1885. It is there stated iii.it the average number of exchange c>?nnections in the United States iva> (?;>7,0G6 per day, or 251,267,760 per > car. An exchange connection i> what commonly designated a call. El??-where the report stales that the sub-cribers pay from three cents to five cents per connection. Snppo-e we ti.\ the average cnarge at four cents per c ?n:u ciii?n. Multiulv the number of c ?iine?-tions a year, 351,297,795 by . four cr?it*, we obtain a grand total of $10,000,710.40, which is a fair estimate of i;?? gro<s iiiitdmc. This is G i er een'. of :if> >ut ?175,000,000- Making ;? ! <-?< reduction for exp-nso, ii i< not probable that the sub-cutnpauies *>f" the country receive a net income of ? than 6 per cent, on a combined valnaW? tion of ?1.50,000,000 The B-!i 'IVlephone upio-iett>" of?hr- United States may l*e fafei> placed at that high figure. The actual cs?pitali7.aiion, ?-xclnding the parent company, is $.53,000,000, as shown by c.tfifial rep -rf, and it is very certain tiia: the average real value of tlie Mock i? pi-r share on a par valuation^!* $100. These figure*, which are c r' tinlv conservative enough, arc given to indc?t<* the fiuanuia1 *tre'?<T'h of rhe Bell Telephone < onapauy and nil ii^ allied corporations ami to ?ho\v what a powerful hold it has upon the country and the danger that i> threatened through its continued growth.
