What has caused the ''hard
times" through which we are pas
sing? Almost every one has his
theory about it, Ore man says it
is the gold standard, another that
it is the danger of free coinage;
one that it is because the duties
are so low as TO flood the country
with foreign goods, and these are
only examples of the wide diversity
of opinions that exists.
Perhaps the strangest theory of
all, which neverthelessseems to have
many adherents, is that the bicycle
has caused 1t. 1t is reasoned out
thus: Hundreds of thousands of
persons have been saving every
spare penny to buy wheel, and
have thus killed other business.
Men, women, and young people of
both sexes wear their old clothing,
economic in food AID resort to
other means of saving, and thus
the business of the butcher, the
baker and the candlestlck maker is
seriously diminished.
Watches, pianos, jewelry, books
and other articles not necessary in
the strictest sense of the word used
to oe the fayorite luxuries; now all
these things are neglected for the
bicycle The market for horses
was greatly injured by the sub
stitution of electricity for animal
power in moving strcet-cars. The
trade certainly had another serious
blow when the bicycle became the
popular mode of locomotion.
In all this there is an element of
exaggeration, but it cannot be
denied that there is a measure of
lruth in the theory. That is, the
demand for bicycles has probably
intensified the bad times. But
neither hard times nor good times
are result of one cause 1t s
mis- take to fix upon one peculiar>
ity Of the situation and say, re-
move that and all will be we'll.
So far as the bicycle is held re-
sponsib'o for the business depres-
! sion it is sufficient to point TO the
fact the wheel craze is quite as
{ prevalent in Europe as it is in this
country, aud yet business abroad
: is in an excellent condition -

Railroad Construction.

The annual statement Of construction to
be published by the Railway Age this
week will show that during 1895 only .SO2
miles of railway lines were built in the
United States. This i one mile less than
the total reported for 1895 and the smallest
mileage built in any one year since 1875.
The number of lines on which this track
was laid is I63. which is eleven less than
the number of new lines added in the
previous year. Track was laid in 3s of the
20 States and Territories. The longest
mileage was built in California, Isl miles
on eight lines No track was added in New
Hampshire. Massachusetts. Rhode Island,
Connecticut, Nebraska. South Dakota
Wyoming, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho or New
Mexico. The Railway Age states that
many railway enterprises were under way
early in the year which would have added
hundreds of miles of track, but wert
stopped by the financial agitation proceed
ing the election. Fully 800 miles would
have been built in 1896 but for the uncer-
tainty developed from the political cam
paign.
