RAILWAY BUILDING,
Tho Record for 1898 Said to Be the Lowest
for Twenty Years.

Inc h0COru rOf 1880 SAtu TO DO the LOWobt
for Twenty Years.
CHICAGO, Dec. %. -According to the
Railway Age for December 81, railway
building in the United States reached
this year lower point than in any OF
the last 20 years, and in only two years
since 1865 has so small mileage been
built. The records for 1895 show only
l,7s2 miles Of track laid. in the eight
years since that time the decrease in
construction has been great and contin-
uous, and this year the total built was
only about 100 miles more than in the
year 1870 years ago. The greatest
amount of track laid was in Texas,
where 224 miles were put down. In Is
states no increases whatever were
made. The railways of the United
States on December 81 will aggregate
a little over 1871. 900,

IT was said at Washington that the
president and Secretary of War La
mont were seriously considering the
hdvisability of silencing Gen. Miles.
His recent talk of the weakness of this
country's coast defenses and the gen.
eral inability to go to war with assur-
ances of success has been termed in
discreet and his latest speech in Phila-
delphia has aroused some feeling, it
was said, in the executive department,
which may occasion a rebuke.

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1896-09-16
rbe Issue of the Present.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The ,emark of Jesse r. Grant that "a
man is a fool who tries to produce any
thing. shows encouragement. and this dis
enlargement teaches that if one turns his
property into money land loans it to some
fellow on first-class security at good rate
of interest, and in a little while he'd be
several points ahead of the game With
such views Mr.. Grant becomes an advocate
of free silver, because the money lender
expects greater interest from upheavalS
and fluctuations than from steadiness,
caused by sound money and sound methods
of business. If this is not lesson for the
Indiana farmer then he lacks capacity to
learn. The battle now being fought is to
settle forever whether we will have a safe,
sound monetary system for the benefit of
the people, a feversh, speculative era
for the benefit of the discouraged incOm-
petent and speculative In Indiana watch
makers are called silversmiths because they
used to make silver spoons The farmers
might learn from them that silver in years
past demonetiZed itself. that Mexico and
other dollars sold at "a premium, and were
bought up at from $1.04 to $1.06 for use in
the arts; consequently all talk about a
crime in 1873 is mere bosh. AS the thief
often cries stop thief, the farmer should be
suspicious when a charge is proved to be
false. OF all the campaign buttons there
has not been one that represents high pol
tiles Men of healthy political minds, of all
erty, equality, fraternity No mischief
maker would wear such button. There
would be no classes and no separated
masses; no hatred, malice and uncharitable-
ness in American politics. Without discus
sion there might come paralysis; with dis
cuSSion should come light. Because
of the wriggling from one thing to
other the BryaniSts have earned the name
of the couchee couchee party The people
are critical There is a streak of common
sense that runs below the surface which
knits men together. After civil war al
ways comes the speculative era, and this
leads up TO the question, shall we continue
it, or stop it in favor of the laboring man.
the middle classes and those who work
legitimately with their brains? This is the
present question in a nutshell. Both the
Republican and Democratic parties have
smirched themselves by trying to humor
the silver men the same as with the Pro-
hibitionists. The Democrats got the worst
of it, being juggled out of their party name,
therefore, what one or the other said in
former times is simply evidence of the fact.
To-day the issue is clear TRAVELLER.
