FOREIGN RAILROAD RATES

In view of the recent declarations of
railroad magnateS as 10 the inSufficiency
of the eXactions upon the public and
The country for their prosperity. it is
not ready inference that there is any
marked elevation IN railroad rates
above those prevalent in Europe There
have been at times tabular computa-
tons claiming to show that the reduc-
lions of recent years have reached
lever plane than even that common on
the other side. 1t has been used as an
argument against government control
that, considering the equipments and
all the circumstances. private enter
prise in this country had distanced the
economic conditions where the author
ty of the government was utilized.
The statement, however, comes that
The facts are notOf this character. Prof.
EDMUND j. JAMES, who is regarded as
a capable party, has made an inyestiga-
lion of the subject, and in a recent
lecture before the Manufacturers club
in Philadelphia he made the somewhat
surprising statement that in no instance
in this country had passenger rates on
railroads been reduced within 50 per
cent of those established on some of the
old world lines. This authority relates
the experience of Austria in the reduc-
lion of fares. The government controls
the railroads there, and commenced its
experiments of cheaper passenger tar
ifs by a general cutting down in
Hungary a year or more ago. This
proved SO satisfactory that the low
rates were made to extend to
Rl the railroads of Austria. The COM
mon rate for third-class fare is stated at
So mills per mile. That is hardly third
Of the rate in this country. 1t would
make round trip from ST. Paul to Chi
cago about $3.50. Still lower rates are
had in the suburban districts. These
are not to exceed a third of a cent a
mile. One can go out twelve miles for
four cents, or twenty-four miles for
eight cents. Communications are given
at much less cost. 1t is claimed that
the experience in Austria is that the
Traffic increases in proportion to the re-
duction of the rates. 1t is believed
this experience is not altogether un-
familiar on this side of the water.
Austria is far more thickly populated
than this country, and the cost of operat-
ing the roads is less. but the people there
are more stable and conservative. They
are not on the go, as Americans are.
They are not apt to get far from home.
The United States sovereign don't take
kindly to any classification in his tray
els. He wants the best, and no third
class arrangement will snit him. Still,
it is doubtful if the conditions warrant
rates that are three to six times as great
as those of Austria. 1t will not require
very wide observation, in this part of
the country at least, to reach the con-
clusion that suburban rates are too
high, and that railroad controllers might
usefully inquire into the experience of
Austria and other foreign countries.

DENVER, Col, Nov 19.-The Knights
OF Labor are still wrangling over the
proposition to form a new political
party. with but little prospect of any
thing being done at this session. The
trouble is that there are too many
plans offered. Some want a federation
with either the Democrats, Republicans
or Farmers Alliance, while others want
new party. To-day they recommend
ed the establishment in every town, by
the government. of a room where all
documents issued by the government or
state shall be kept for the use of
the public. They declared themselves
in favor of free coinage of silver, the
Australian system of bailoting, the en-
forcement of the eight-hour day in post
offices and with letter carriers, and
urged upon congress to pass the postal
telegraph bill, the eight-hour bill, the
alien workman bill and the two convict
labor bills now pending. The assembly

Hence, ii becomes a matter of some inn
portance for the Alliance members to
determine which they prefer for allies
IN the Legislature, the Democrats or the
Republicans. The Alliance party came
into existence in this state as protest
against Republican misrule. Its phe-
nomenal growth is due entirely to Re-
publican oppression and corruption.
Hence, nothing could be more incOnsis
tent than to find the Alliance and Re
publican members working in harmony
In the legislature.
There are SO many things in common
between the Democracy and the new
party that it is very easy matter for
them to keep in sight of each other.
Each has a separate mission and sep
arate purpose. There are some things
they may never agree upon. Conse-
quently they must ever remain two dis
tinct political organizations. But when
It comes down to the practical work of
obtaining relief from Republican mis-
rule and OF shaping up the affairs of
state to suit the agricultural classes,
the two parties are aiming for the same
end. Regardless of what the leaders
think of it, the rank and file of the two
parties, the Democratic and Alliance,
recognize each other as workers In the
same good cause, and will naturally
gravitate together when fight for
principle comes up.
