these proving unsatisfactory, q public
investigation Of the subject was ordered
which is certainly the most exhaustive
that has been made up to date. At the
conclusion of this, the following fixed
system was finally adopted.
An act was passed by which all or
almost all Of the Italian railways were
consolidated in the hands Of two com /.
panies, which leased their lines from
the state for D long term of years, and
were left to work them for their own
private interests. This system, which
is practically the same as has been
adopted by many cities with reference
to their street railway service, has been
practically satisfactory in Italy, as has
also similar system in operation in
Holland. .

Financial Results Of National, Railroad

We may turn now to the considera.
ton Of the financial results Of railroad
management in the countries in which
the roads are wholly or partly under
government control and compare these
with the results in other countries
where the railroads are entirely in pri.
vate hands. A very thorough investi.
cation Of this point was made in
Europe in the year 1875. For that year
the operating expenses amounted to the

1t the rate were higher than this, and
there is every probability that it would
have to be raised to at least per cent,
the interest charged would be increased
to $500, 0OO,0OO
According to Poor's Manual, the total
earnings Of all the railroads in the
country for the year 1893 from eyery
source, including the elevated roads in
cities, were $1,222, 61S, 800,
The operating expenses for the same
period were 1858, 027, 18I, leaving a net
balance OF total revenue over operating
expenses of $780,, sol, 100.
1t will thus be seen that the financial
balance sheet of the last year shows a
net revenue insufficient by far TO nav

experience Of other countries will be

large gains ell over the country.
But the Democrats were driven

saved themselves whore ever they
could manage the negro votes and
no where else. Hill was defeated
by 10000. The Populites carried
North Corolina. The Republicans
carried Tennessee, West Virginia
and Wisconsin.
The solid South is bursted sure.
The Democrats will have less than
100 members in Congress.
The Populites polled by far the
largest vote they have ever polled.
They will certainly hold the bal

IDLENESS.

Upon this point Senator John p.
Jones, of Nevada, says in his let
ter on the silver question dated
August 20, 1894:
''The fate of mankind hangs up
on the question whether civiliza-
ton can persist while larger and
larger numbers of people in all
countries are being relegated TO
idleness. The compulsory idleness
of willing workers, of whom there
are millions even in times much
more prosperous than the present,
is due TO a force that acts upon
industrial society like a deadly but
odorless gas, which, because of its
subtle character, escapes detention.
In its method it is as silent as time,
vet as inexorable as death. Its
victims usually attribute their suf-
ferings to every cause but the true
one. This fatal influence affects
alike employer and employed, ag-
riculturist and artisan.
"What is this powera 1t is the
rapacious and engOrging power of
an ever-increasing value in the
unit. of money-that is to say, in
the dollar. When an obligation
has been entered into requiring the
payment of money at a future
time, this is the subtitle alchemy
which, without effecting any change
in the written figures, yet enlarges
the burden of the obligation by
extracting from him who has
agreed to pay money-and all bu-
siness men are in this category
more sacrifice for each dollar than
a dollar represented at the time the
obligation was made. This pro
cess paralyzes industry and rele
gates to a pitiful and corrodins
idleness multitudes of willing work
ers. This it accomplishes by pro
ducing an artificial and unnatura
fall 'in..the prices of property ant
in the products of labor-a fal
not rising from the natural opera
tion of the forces of supply anC
demand affecting the property anc
commodities, but from a change il
the relation existing between th'
supply of and the demand fol

Ignorance of the people is the
opportunity of the Plutocrats. The
great trouble with the American
people is they never go deep enough

for it is carefully hidden under a
decidedly deceptive surface.

Labor applied to land produces
wealth; wealth used to produce
more wealth is capital. Then if
labor has free access to land it will
produce what capital it needs, and
capitalists will be powerless to op-
