soli,
i few weeks, the Waya
ayd Means ( ommitteo of Congress havo
granted hearings at Washington to
those representing our several indium
trios. In read i tiff the published testi
mony, one in struck with Ihodoplor
ahle accounts given of the condition of
many branches of mnnufacturo. Low
tavjJV and cheap foreign labor have
played havoc, with American labor and
production. 'I bin is undoubtedly truo
And tho remedy uskod for is increased
infection. A duty sufficient to onahlo
the American manufacturer to pay a liv
ing wage and competo with ilia foreign
rivals. While not occupying tho pttb
J" mmd to anything like tho extent of
the manufacturer, tho American rail
rood is in as bad, if tioi in a worse
plight. If Congress would only extend
its hearings to railways, the Tories of
the recent tariff hearings could bo ro
pcolnd w ith omp|insiH on a larger and
oven more improssivo scale. Loss of
earnings, reduction of rates below the
paying point, actual loss on passenger
truffle, deterioration of roadbed, roduo
lion in tlui number of employes, others
working half-time, receivership*, fore
closure Miles, practically half of this
enormous invo5itmenl bringing no ro
turnsj and the blight of insolvency
steadily settling down upun our entire
system.
J'he losses and disaster* arising from
these conditions have boon wido-sproud
and fur reaching. In the first place, it
in undoubtedly truo Mint in no other in
dustry is so large a business carried on
upon no small a banking aeoount. A
railway company is a great distributor,
not only of passongers aud freight, but
of money. As fast as its earnings coirio
in, they go out again, First, we have
tho army of direct employes, which
reached nearly eight hundred and sev
enty Jive thousand a few years ago, but
which ha t been reduced fully one hun
dred thousand. With continued pros
perity, our railway system would have
today furnished direct employment tout
least one million employes. The loss
to labor has been enormous, and it is
import, ml that railway employes of all
grades should study this side of Iho
question. With freight and passenger
rates Ic^s than those of Kuropcan coun
tries, where labor is paid about half Iho
American rates, how long will our rail
^ 1m) IllHO III I'llHJ Willi ( t'l I iititjii
forces and 1 lireo quarter time? Unhurt
the decline in receipts is stopped, waged'
must be reduced, and then the trouble
will . begin. Taking an army of two
hundred thousand men ' out of
active employment hi oiHV occupa
tion is a pretty serious business.
That means an annual loss in wagos
alone of not less than 3 130, 000,0m>,
Here we have tho direct lose. The in
direct loss comes from the irreparable
injury to tho properties by reason of
not keeping them up, ultimately ontaif-*
ing additional losses. The reduction
of rides between 181)0 and 1800 repre
sent a loss of revenue of over #t0i?,"00;>, -
000 .??!.?, .'too. 000 iu passenger traffic
and ?87, un;>,000 in freight traflle. Of
course, this sum was remitted to the
people of the United Males, but the
ipieMipjn' is, can' tho people afford to
force an 'industry in which nearly one
Jifth or twenty per cent, of Iho total
wealth of iho country- is invested to a
point where nearly half lljo stock and
bonds pay nothing iu dividend ami
interest, and the current expenses must
bo reduced below tLo safety point. This
is tho problem the people Will soon
have fo lace in relation to our railways.
The gloomy litt of non-dividend pay
ing slocks has of hito years boon
gaming from about sixty per cont. ton
years ago to upward of seventy per
cent now. \\ bile this doorcase of rates
has been going on, tho cost of running
trains has not similarly decreased, ami
herein lies the danger*
! ho following table shows clearly
that rates are being steadily reduced:

with it tlio very ihterosla which sustain

or bo in tho downward direction will
simply kill tho goose that lays tho gold

ways are suftloiont to Iieop up the pro

to give omployiJiont to an increasing

,'l'he caf.o againat tho railways is a
familiar one. 'lho.se who realize Iheao
now conditions havo no excuses or
(Vpo)ogiea fof past mismanagQJpont, nor
fqr the methods by which some of these
road a woro built. Whatever may bo
liaid of thono who built railwaya far in
advanoo of population, or for purposes
otlior than legitimate trade, wo havo,
on the other hand, equally to blame,
tho cities and towns and eouutioa and
individuals who woro ready to mortgage
tho futuro to holp along tho work, in
a largo meaauro the wimh^nd tho wator
and the fraud havo been squeezed out
of thoao properties. l^i .thoir place now
and honestly acquired capital in tho
shape of enforoed loans from bond
holders and forcod asftosamout of stock*
holdonl haa been invested, Fore
closures, tho ahoriO'. and the oourta
havo wiped out muofi of tho inflated
valuos and now capital with re organ
ization for business purposes has fol
lowed. Huroly no one will deny that,
tho consolidation and ehangea, nay of
the last dorado, havo been beneficial.
Thoro is mpro uniform action than
ovor before. Rottor business priu*'
eiploa prevail. The publio have
never been so woll and so cheaply
aorved as now. Considering the
hard times, tho discharges, the
reduced time, thoro has nover existed
bettor fooling betwoou tho railway em
ploye and tho oilleora than at. present.
The loaa of one hundred millions of
dollars of income in live years must
have boon a staggering blow. A continu
ation of this sort of lliin^ would simply
destroy much of mir wealth and arrest
tho progress of tho Republic. It is im
portant that tho people of tho United
State" should realize this situation.
The facts heroin brought out should be
borne in mind in any discussion of tho,
railway problem, whether for tho pur-'
pose of State legislation, for the modi
fication of our interstate commerce act,
or for tho purpose of giving additional
employment and mure steady wages to
the million that should bo directly em
ployed by our railway system, and to
tho additional hundrods of thousands
who, under normal conditions, should
bo kept busy iu tho allied industries.
To ignore those facts, will work a great
injury and placo additional obstacles in
tho way of u return to prosperity. ?

for building, and of tho $100,000 re
maining not more than #10,000 was to
