Much credit is due MesSrs. DrtNei, Mor-
gan g. Co. for the great measure OF sue
cess which has attended their splendid
EFFORTS In the upbuiding and reorganiza-
zion OF this important system. and II is
believed the future will still further vindi-
cate their good judgment and attest the
correctness OF the theory upon which the
plan has been carried out.
THE CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
Company now operates and controls 1852

track. and 40 miles OF sidings. The
mileage OF main track was increased rs

ton Of branches For the year ending

The average tons OF freight hauled per
train mile increased from 2S2 tons In 1893
20 50l tons in 1884. The rate per ton per
mile decreased from 5ll mills 10 AIS

The decrease during the year IN move
tnent OF coal, lumber. and iron Is re-
ported at Gl0.90i tons. involving loss OF
over three quarters OF million dollars
In gross earnings. The reduction IN out
Tut OF coal and coke was 49, Gl tons.
That the company has been able 10
earn more than its fixed charges In the

AGAINST FREE SILVER.
Unlimited Coinage Would Make Americ
the Dumping Ground.

AT the Iowa Republican convention,
held at Dcs Moines on July TO- the Hon.
joseph r Lane, temporary chairman,
made the following reference TO the sill
vcr questions
Silver being necessary in the money
of the world, we must either maintain
its coinage at par by legislative limita-
ton Of the amount or change the coin
age ratio Of the basis Of its market val
ne. Undcr thepolicy Of legislative limi-
tation Of the amount, aided by rcdomp-
ton when in excess of demand, we have
been able to maintain at par our silver
com, although its intrinsic value is
much less. This policy was satisfactory
50 long as the price Of silver continued
high, but when it became reduced, on
account of Oyerproduction and other
causes, there sprung up Il demand by the
producers Of silver for special silver leg
islation. This claim has now crystal
liZed into a demand for free and unlim-
tied coinage of gold and silver at the
ratio Of Ii to |. This means to give to
every man, to every nation, the right
to deposit at the minis Of the United
States silver III unlimited quantity and
to demand and receive in return, free of
charge or cost, that silver coined into
money at the ratio of IL to |, bearing
the stamp Of our government.
In my judgment such IA policy will
make America the dumping ground Of
silver for the world. Ii means we would
be brought at once to silver basis 1t
means the degradation Of our dollar to
30 cents. 1t means reputation. 1t will
bring an avalanche of silver. but a rest
for labor. The Republicans of Iowa OPP
pose this. i'm the state of Iowa if we
owe debt, we expect to pay ii III money
worth 100 cents on the dollar, in money
of equal purchasing power with any
other money of the world If any one
owes us, we demand and expect pay
mcnt in money of equal value. This is
IA vital question to all classes The farm
er, the laborcr, the merchant, the man
utacturor, all classes have an interest in
the maintenance of good currency. The
dollar they receive for their productions
and labor should have the highest pur-
chasing power and be as good as the best
purchasing dollar in the world Upon
sound currency depends to Il large ex-
tent the development, the prosperity,
the success and the maintenance of our
people
