RAILROAD STATISTICS.

Tables Showing the Cost of ROads-The
Earnings on Fictitious Capital, Covering
Period of Years From 1874 to 1888.
I wish TO present a few facts TO the
readers Of the NOncO1V0rmtst relating to
railroads. said facts, and mean facts,
not opinions. People In this feverish
age have not the time to read every
mans opinion on the many important
questions of the day, but they do have
the time to read statistical facts when
presented In concise manner. What
my opinion relating to railroads may be
is a matter Of no importance, whatever
to the general public; but the actual facts
relating to the transportation question as
to reasonable rates, is matter of vast
importance to the people generally. In
this article l wish to present to the
general public some facts that however
startling are official. At a meeting Of
the railroad commissioners, held in the
city of Washington, May 29, 1890, COM
mittee on reasonable rates was appointed
to report at the next convention Of rail-
road commissioners. That committee
consisted of w. B. Fleming, of Kansas;
Walter McLaurin, of Mississippi; David
N. Mostland, of Maine, j. B. Breathitt, OF
Missouri, and John King, Of South Da-
kota. At convention of railroad COM
missioners held at the Office Of the inter
state commerce commission at Washing
ton, March Sd and 4th, 1891, Mr.. Fleming,
chairman of committee on reasonable
rates, submitted a long and carefully
prepared report in which the committee
advocated the regulation of rates both by
the national and state governments. And
as q proof Of the necessity of suchl Sregu-
latiOn appended to that report the fol-
lowing statements as to the earnings Of
railroads In the last sixteen years:

said before, were submitted to conven-
ton Of railroad commissioners, held In
Washington the 3rd and 4th Of last
March. The convention was presided
over by Thomas M, Cooley, and was com
posed of very able men gathered from
all parts of the United States. Aud
they were unanimously endorsed by the
convention. Therefore, it is the very best
authority In the United States on the
question of railway earnings.
Now as the general government is the
only power that can cope with those
vast corporations, is the only power able
to protect the people against extortion,
why does any man oppose the govern
mental control of railroads? No man
will oppose 1t If informed on the subject,
except he do 1t from selfish motives

duce--Who do the worlds business.
La Europe the struggle for human
rights is In the face Of despotic govern
ment--a fearful odds. In this country
the money tyrant has no greater enemy
than free ballot In the hands Of an in
structed people. Thousands Of the OPP
pressed of Europe have fed to our coun-
try, and multitudes who are left behind
look with interest across the water at the
conflict that ia waglng under this free
government To American labor with
the American ballot in hand, 1t is onlya
question of time when economic neCessi-
ties shall force a united movement, and
another tyrsnt be shorn Of his power. A
free school, free press, free discussion
OK subjects Of common interest Is the
bulwark Of our safety and this is an era
of education unsurpassed. The strong
hold of tyranny Is ignorance among the
people. Our civil war was wonder to
modern times, and our industrial revolu-
tion will be greater. The puny hands Of
politicians may retard but cannot stay
the progress Of a movement that has the
divine energy Of truth and justice be-
hind 1t. The sophistrles Of the magnates
of money and whlskey may mislead FOR
time, but economic principles can be
understood by the waytaring man, and
when understood the divine instinct Of
selfpreServation will assert itself In the
use Of the elective franchise to the dis
comfture of his oppressor.
We cannot turn back and be true to
the highest interest of ourselves and our
children. "The earth Is the Lords and
the fullness thereof" and moreover the
profit Ct the earth is for all.

THE ORIGINAL CA1AMlTY HOwLER.


From the AtchiSOn Champion, Sept. iS.
The very first calamity howl ever
raised In Kansas was by the Topeka
Capital, when it howled long and loud
about the farmers of Kansas contem-
plating the repudlation Of their honest
debts; when 1t bawled and croaked about
the financial credit Of Kansas being In
jured because the Alliance last fall tri-
umphed over a gang Of pot house politl-
clans and elected majority Of the legis-
lature; because the machine upon which
It depends for patronage got pair Of
beautiful black eyes.
And this calamity howl, first started
and kept up by the Capital, alarmed
eastern holders Of Kansas securities and
started all the commotion which has sgi-
tated financial circles In reference to
Kansas for the past ten months. The
Capital, for political effect, started this
howl and kept 1t up, and did it conscious
that It was misrepreSenting the facts;
that it was manufacturing lies out Of
whole cloth, and that 1t was perpetrat-
ing great injustice upon the best class
Of citizens Kansas has. And yet this
journalistic Uriah Heep, this wall-eyed
partisan hypOcrite, now has the gall to
accuse Its Uuperiors Of being calamity
howlers.
However, 1t makes no sort Of differ
ence one way or the other what the Cap
itaI says or does; its influence, political
or otherwise, is about as potent in shRp-
ing public opinion and directing public
affairs as is the braying Of frightened
whifiOt In determining the course OF the
full-orbed moon.

KANSAS JAYHAWKERS.
From the industrial Record, CTexas.)


From the Industrial Record, TexAs.)
All the Kansas statesmen who come to
Texas to teach Texas the truth as it 10
found in cant, consider it enCumbent upon
them to belabor the Gazette. Kansas stole
southern property during the war and be-
fore the war; Kansas legislated against the
south for q quarter of a century after the
war; Kansas is the hot-bed of violence and
of fraud and crankiness in politics. The
abuse of people from such state is prefer
able to their praise-their politics is hate,
their religion is can't, their patriotism is an
investment, and their law is selfishnesS.
From the jayhawkers and their politics and
their religion, good Lord, deliver Texas
Gazette.
The Jsyhawkers of Kansas squeezed
Ingalls, out of the United States Senate.
They have virtually redeemed the state
from Republican misrule and placed the
lower house under the control Of the
farmers. Since the last election they In
creased in numbers 25 per cent. So they
are sure of the Senate and all the state
officers at the next election. The same
class of jayhawkerS have thrown over
board old Wade Hampton Of South
Carolina. In Ohio they are after John
Sherman, and will never let up until his
seat in the United States Senate Is filled
by a conservative farmer. In the Da-
kotas and other states they are burying
the tools of Shylock as fast as they can
get at them. God bless the jayhawkerS!
We wish we had as many of them in
Texas and In every other state as they
have in Kansas Then suchmenas Cleve-
land and Harrison and other plutocratic
tools would be relegated to the rear and
the people would have rest.
The editor of the Gazette says, "Kansas
stole southern property during the war
and before the war" Kansas was free
state, opposed to the institution Of slavery.
Her people went for their interests. There
was nothing wrong in this. But, great
heavens! what can we say for the editor
of the Gazette? Was he, a southern
man, In the northern army shooting down
white people to free negoresH Or was
he in the Commissary department, manu-
featuring commissary certificates for
supplies that were never seen, weighed
or measured? A United States COM
missary clerk is the last man under the
sun that should say anything about
stealing.
The politics of Kansas reformers Is
love, not "hate." Their religion is the
love of God and man and home, not
"cant." Their patriotism, loyalty to the
republic of Washington and Jefferson,
not an Investment" and their law Is
benevolence, not "selflshness."
Kansas refOrmers are In favor Of free
schools, free trade, money directly from
the government to the people without
the Intervention of national banks, and
that In sufficient quantities to do the
business Of the country with. II this is
jsyhawking, then make the most OF it,
but for heavens sake wash your hands
before you cry out against Kansas jay
hawkerB.

To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE:

lately adopted by the opposition press

quite disagreeable, to say the least, and
to some Of US really nauseous.
Having exhausted their chosen re-

and the cry now is reconciliation.
The self-sufflclent advice Of Senator
Plumb in his late speech In this city, as
to the most improved method for re-
claiming the lost ones TO their allegience
to the party of "noble record" sounds
very strangely; but when the partisan
press takes up the refrain, we, the knights
of the plow and others, have pertinent
question to put: Who in the name OF
