The excursions which have become 50
I popular a feature of the Summer season,
show several things of interest, both to rail
road managers and to the public. In the
first place, they pay. They call out thou
sands of people who would otherwise not
set foot in the cars. Large numbers of
people, as the times are, will not take rail
road rides, at ordinary prices. The excur-
sion rates, low as they are pay the roads
well for the service for il costs but little
more to haul long train than a short one !;
and the human freight does not have 10 be
lifted and trucked on and off the cars, at
heavy expense, but loads and delivers itself.
Though now and then a person who would
otherwise have taken the trip and paid full
fare, gets his ride at half or quarter price,
by buying an excursion ticket, on the whole
the excursions do not diminish but largely
increase the total and net receipts of the
roads On the other hand they stir the peo-
pie up, give to thousands opportunities to
see places and people they would otherwise
Hot stt give lnein EOou utdl VI 'lutiil
and wholesome pleasure for their money;
keep money stirring and help business of
almost all kinds, all round the board
These facts suggest the question whether
the roads might not profitably continue the
excursion system, with such modifica-
ton as the case demands, through the Fall
and Winter. OF course excursions to seaside
or lakeside Or mountain resorts will not be in
order through the colder season; but it is
quite possible that the great attraction of the
excursion-the cheap fare-may prove about
as attractive in one season as in the other.
Large portions of our rural population have
more leisure for travelling in Winter than in
Summer-and occasional chances to ride at
cheap rates wouldprobablyb bring them out
How would it do for the railroads-and all
these suggestions apply as well to the steam

so popular and successful at Worlds Fairs

Suppose they should sell tickets, say on
Saturdays, to and from any and all stations
on their roads, for fare one way Would 1t
not pay? We have little doubt that it would
provea most attractive and popular and prof
liable arrangement it would be largely
for the advantage of the community that it
would put money in the purses of the roads,
and leave balance to their credit at
the years end, which otherwise they might
not realize Our railroad managers, as a
class, are alive to their interests and capable
of managing their own business. Perhaps
they have already canvassed this subject and
made up their minds about if. If not will
they not look into this matter and see if here
is not an experiment worth irving.
