Enorm SnCreGse OF Ton
mage 9ud Traffic ga the
Railroads.


An authority, reviewing the possibility
of finsucjal panic during the opening
year said Over eight thousand miles Of
railroad have been built in 1881. Il Is
hardly possible that the cost Of roads and
rolling stock has been less than $40, 900
per mile. Probably S2OD, coo 600 has been
actually expended in 4 single year ia
building railroads, while securities for a
much larger amount-probabiy $40, 900
per mile, or $500 coo, O00-have been crea
ted and in part sold to iuvestors. In for.
mer times railroads have been built main
~ with foreign capital. This year the
course of exchange and of trade has not
indicated that very large amount Of for
Ell gn capital has been borrowed. Much the
greater part Of the money thus invested
must have been drawn from the surplus
earnings OF this country. The traffic OF
the country IS Increasing with amazing
rapidly The six largest railroads in ths
New York report for 1850 showed a move
msnt of o6 l92-l02 tons Of freight against
9 l6l 992 tons in 1870. Their traffic hal
almost precisely doubled for every five
years. The other railroads reporting,
which moved 1892 $50 tons IN 1870 NOV
ed % 43l, S97 tons in ISS0--lu increase or
225 per cent. in ten years. Rapidly ~
railroad mileage has increased it has not
grown as rapidly as the tonnage of rail
roads So far the business has grow fas-
ter than the facilities for doing It, unless
the new roads of this year praye in excess
OF the public needs. The farmers have
received, and will receive more money Cor
! the wheat and corn sold from the crop %
/ 1881 than they received for the wheat and
corn sold from he crop Of 1850 Al least
| so 600 900 bushels of wheat from the crop
/ Of 1850 remained unsold when The crop Of
[ this year began 10 come in. The produc-
srs were able to market only about $50
/ 900 600 bushels last year, and bave Of old
and new wheat just SIS much TO sell in
! 1881, bat at an advance OF one third in
/ price. The quantity OF corn held ovor is
not less than 1000 900 bushels. II 50,
The producers had in hand when ta3 season
I opened only 81, U00,O0i bushels of corn
less than they soll or consumed IN lSSG-e j;
and yet they have been getting nearly %
per cent. more fer the corn sold"

Denounce the present tariff as odious, in
