BE devoteS his epistle TO the Fort Worth
and Rio Grande railway, assuming, as all
other Hogg and commission writers do, to
know more about railroads generally and
specifically than do the men who own and
manage them. 1t is a part and parcel Of
their plan to make bold ass rtions, uusup-
ported by any evidence, and by persistently
hurting them at the people, TO deceive and
6elude them into their acceptance.
Your correspondent IS H. is not a
stockholder, oficer or employe of the Rio
Grande, and knows nothing about their
business. else he would not have made the
unsupported assertion that, The road was
never protita BILE one, and cannot be made
so by commission" The facts are these:
The Rio Graude was completed 10 Gran
bury in October, 1881. Its first coupon
matured January l, 1888. 1t had not had
time to earn the money 10 meet this cou-
pom, and borrowed the money to pay it.
Since that time it earned the money to pay
on this loan, and to pay each succeeding
coupon, as well as all operating expenses,
and had a small surplus besides. In 1891 it
passed undertake management of the politi-
GAduS tuu 4dhy GASf WIZ NoAloL1bAOd Tue COll-
mission, and the result was that with in
creased mileage, and increased tonnage per
mile, it failed to earn its fixed charges, and
in January last was again compelled to
borrow money to pay its coupons.
Being under the same management as far
as it was perInitted--if it has "been
wrecked and got itself bruised and battered
and broken. its constitution wrecked and
torn and its vitality destroyed and must go
to the ospital'-the conclusion is irresisti-
bic that too many political nostrums are the
cause of its condition.
The people are beginning to inquire into
these things for themselves and no longer

not always be deceived by demagogical
