FACTS.

In commenting upon the fact that next month the twenty years lease of the Western and Atlantic Railroad Com pany expires on the State Road of Geor- gia (nOw known as the Western and At. lantic), capitalist organ observes that the lessees of that road have paid during this time the sum of SC, 00O, GOO or almost three times the amount it would take to build and equip the same road The organ in question furthermore observes: The Nashville. Chattanooga and St. Louis Railroad has leased the same road for twenty nine years, taking possession January 1st, 1891, and for this lease they pay S35 ,000 per month in advance that is, total of S12, 1SO, ,000, or more than six times the amount it would cost to build and equip it."
 There is the usual bit of tomfoolery in this statement. The present lessees paid nothing at all that they did not first get from the public, and likewise the new lessees will not pay anything for which they will not tax the users of the road. Of course they must get a good profit besides, and tax the people accordingly in addition to the cost of their lease. Were the Western and Atlantic not in
