RAILWAYS MADE MONEY.

A preliminary report of the Inter
state Commerce Commission on the
expenditures and income of railways
in the United States for the year past
has been issued.
The report contains the returns
from $40 operating companies whose
reports were filed on or before NOvem-
Der 23, 1894, and covers the opera
tons Of l49, ,559,2l miles Of line, or
about So per cent Of the total operat
ed mileage in the United States. The
gross operations Of the 149,55?2l
miles Of line represented were $949,-
G39,O7j, of which $3O9 137, ,142 were
from passenger service, $617, ,95S, ,49S
were from freight service, and $22,
400 .23S were other earnings from OPP
Grafton, covering receipts from tele-
graph. use OF cars, switching charges
etc. The operating expenses were
$G43, ,42S,331 leaving net earnings OF
s3O6, ,21O,744.
Reduced to a mileage basis, the
earnings from passenger service were
$2,O67 per mile Of line; from freight
service, $4.l32; total gross earnings,
$3.50; operating expenses, $4.3O2.
and net earnings, $2,O4S. \ compar-
is0n of these items with similar re-
suits from the complete report of the
previous year shows Il decrease per
mile of line IN earnings from passcn-
ger service of 1913, in earnings from
freight service of $774: in total gross
earnings of $40; in operating expen-
ses of $574, and in net earnings OF
s2GG.
The number of passengers carried
was 500, ,2S5, ,446; passengers carried
one mile, SS9,93G,57S. Number of
tons carried was 81 ,9j5, ,942; tons
carried one mile, 7O,62G,244, ,9G5. That
there has been an increase in passen
ger traffic regardless of the CONNER
cial depression is due to the unu>ua

position. Tue number of tons carried
one mile per mile of line was 470, 80:
as compared with 551 ,232 for 1898
These figures show the decrease il

Read this declaration of John G..
Calhoun. made in the Senate of the
United States a generation ago, and
say if we have never had statesmen
among us:
Place the money power, in the
hands of a combination of few in
dividuals and they, by expanding or
contracting the currency, may raise
Or sink prices at pleasure, and, by
purchasing when at the greatest de-
preston and selling when at the
greatest elevation may command the
whole property and industry of the
community and control fiscal opera
tions. The banking system conccn-
tratcs and places this power in the
hands of those who control it. Never
was an engine invented better cal
culateu to place the destiny Of the
the many in the hands Of the few. or
less favorable to the equality and in
dependence which lies at the bottom
of free institutions.
The people have been warned time
and again of finance. So long as
these expressions were merely OPP
inions of individuals they might be
questioned. but the trial of this ques-
tionable policy has led us to the very
brink of ruin.-\ational Walchman

How the PEOPLES Party can Elect the
Next President

We know of an instance where :.
Peoples party man started out To
carry his township about year ago.
1t was here in Missouri where 1t is Just
as hard to gain results as anyhere in
the L. s. He went down in his own
pockets for a starter. Afterwards he
got others to chip in. He had the
one thing in view all ;he time, and that
was to carry his township IN 4 middle
of the road three -cornerei ight \ lot
of books were used also. He had
large farm and other business and al
ways made hand himself. but he
found time and took time to work for
the object he had in view. He argued
with the votels, or rather explained to
them and plead with them. Nearer
election he got considerable help from
others No outside help. There
were some two or three meetings held
by outside speakers. but they were
not counted. The old guard stood
true and the new converts made bv
the work started and kept up by this
man carried the township by good
plurality.
Now all that is necessary to carry
the United States is to have like work
done in every township. There will
be some localities where it will fail,
but 1t will win in most Of them. and
no one can say it wont win in his
township until he tries it for the next
two years. The township we refer to
was Old ground, and 1t was thought
another crop could not be raised.
Brother, will you not start now with
the determination of carrying your
township in '96? Don't wait for
somebody else. 1t will be all the
better if a number are at work in the
same township for the Peoples party,
or if you live in a city, then that you
will carry your voting precinct. If
our party is already in the ascendancy
in your township, then let your efforts
be directed to keeping it SO.
Work such, as we have mentioned,
ut home 10y the friends of the cause
will bring the victory sure. As drops
of water makes the ocean, SO will
these township successes make the
mighty yictory.-Missourl World.

The Undesirable Apaches.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Dele-
gate Flynn, of Oklahoma, made a
hard fight against the senate pro-
position to send the Apaches from
Alabama to the Indian Territory.
He did not get all he asked, but
he secured such a modifcati on of
the senate provision that some
other place than the territory will
probably be found for the
Apaches.
From time to time rose-colored
reports have been made Of the pro-
gress of the Apaches in civiliza-
ton. Geronimo, the chief, it has
been stated, is superintendent of
the Sunday school. Nevertheless,
the Alapama people are manifest
ing a strong desire to e these
Indians taken to some other place.
The first move in the matter was
made by the senate, which pro-
posed to locate the Apaches at
Fort Sill, on the Kiowa and Com
anche reservation in the Indian
Territory. Mr.. Flynn opposed this
vigorously, and asked that the
bill be changed so as to authorize
the removal to some place not
against existing law. There is in
existance a statute which would
have prevented the placing of the
Apaches in the Indian Territory.
The result of the conference and
the action of the house this after
noon authorizes the secretary Of
war to move the Apaches to such
place es he may see fit. In the
course of the debate, which was
spirited, Mr.. Flynn let out the
secret of the unwillingness of the
Alabama people to allow the Ara-
ches to remain where they are. He
said the plain truth was these In
dams were marauding and had be-
come so troublesome that the resi-
dents in the vicinity of where they
are held as prisoners of war are
protesting.
Mr.. Cultivate, in charge of the
bill, demanded Mr.. Flynn's author
ity for this statement.
"The commissioner of Indian
affairs" SAID the delegate from
Oklahoma.
Delegate Marc Smith, of Arizona
also bitterly opposed the propo-
sition to remove the Apaches to
any western reservation, and warn
ed the house of the danger of such
an act.
