ing working hours, is all the time
earning money for the capital inves-
ted in it. If twenty trains a day
pass over a given mile of road; TAX
ing five minutes each TO do it in that
equals an hour and forty minutes of
work during which it is earning
something: but it is doing nothing
the remaining ten hours of the
twelve. So with the rolling stock.
When not in use, it is like an idle
horse, it soon eats its head of.
The cost of transportation may be
much aggravated by the weather. A
wet, frosty, or icy rail will make an
addition Of from six to ten per cent.
in the cost of running on account of
the slippage. On still day, the
head pressure on train running
twenty miles an hour will be two
pounds to a square foot; if there is
a brisk head wind blowing twenty
miles an hour, the pressure will be
eight pounds to the square inch,
which will hold a train back consid-
erably, and so cause more fuel to be
consumed.
The cost of stopping at stations
is another item of expense. It is
estimated by engineers at
from fifty cents to dollar and a-half
for each stoppage, dependent upon
time lost, fuel consumed, weight of
trains, injury to the rails and wheels,
md other items. The wages of sta
ion masters and their helpers, and |
,he large amount of clerical work re-
Iuired in making out manifests and |
)ther items incidental to the receiv-
ng and delivering of freight, are ex-
)ensive charges against it.
We could enumerate many other
tens Of expense, but merely note
hese to show that transporting
reight and passengers on a railroad |
S not as easy q matter as running
tage coaches, or driving farm wag-
ms. Yet it is done vastly cheaper,
nut to do this, there must be large

Quantities of freight to be carried.

he same proportion can they be car
led at less rates. Competitive roads
a such cases, only make bad worse;
hey are powerless for good, and all
owerful for evil; for on the one
and they do not permanently bene-
t the shippers, and on the other
