There has been no better evidence that
westward the star of empire takes its way"
than in the figures supplied by Poor's railroad
manual, which is soon to be issued. The ex-
hibit, geographically considered. shows that
in the New England States the gross earn
ings for the year past were Sal, ,329, ,S25; net
earnings, l5,586O31; dividends paid, 1885,
205, against g., ,566 6S5 for 1878. Middle States
Gross earnings, $I70,s1OS46; net earnings,
$40 4l6 $40; dividends paid, $24 1876 l64, against
| $2t, ,l4S 442 for 1873. Southern States-Gross
earnings, s43,9l7,2S4; dividends, $21sl
77O, against ,$2,S05,7e9 for 1878. West
ern States-Gross earnings, 1896, 2,379 646
net earnings, $98 1891 500, against $77, ,95S,229
for 1878 and $66 6,085 ,243 for 1877. The divi
dends paid amounted to $2356l 262, against
1894, ,222 for 1873 and $14,556, ,462 for 1877
Pacific States-Gross earnings. S10,72l,l57
net earnings, $s,606, 800, against % 5O1 625 fol
1878. Inclnded in the net earnings is the rent
al pald by the Central Pacific railroad com
pany for the use OF the Southern Pacific rail
road. The dividends paid were 1884, 1O4
against $930,OOO for 1878, and @24O,C99 for IS
II. Until recently the wealth and business
OF the country has been supposed to lie in the
New England and Middle States. These
figures show not only that the West very
largely exceeds either one, but that it exceeds
both combined. The gross earnings of the
New England and Middle States combined arr
s9i1, ,640,67l against S2S2379.646. The ne
earnings of the New England and Middle
States combined were, but ss6O0sO6l aeains
$0S.961 500 by the Western States. The census
win show similar superiority, and with tn,
evidence of statistics before them the remain
der OF the country will be compelled to &C
knowledge that the West controls the destin
les Of the nation.
