The fiscal year of the Lake Erie & West
ern ended Dec. 81. The gross earnings up to
and including the third week in December
were S3.41l.l70. being a slight Improvement
over the corresponding period of 1884, when
they amounted to $3.2SS0S1. The net earn
ings up to Oct. 81 have been $3.50, 765, against
$l,1S3,719 in 1884, The gross earnings were
s., 90l 81, and deducting the net from this
the operating expenses were $3.50, 462. This
ia only 50 per cent. of the gross, an ex-
ceedingly low average. In 1881 the company,
after paying the usual dividend of per
cent. on its preferred stock, had a surplus
of sos. $50. The operating expenses in that
year were just the same as they have been
haan so far In 1897

Phy.icnl Pool Percentages.

The executive officers of the Western
roads held an important meeting in Chicago
yesterday, for the purpose of considering
the percentages to be allowed each line
in the physical pool, which they some time
ago decided to form. The freight agents
first took up the question of percentages
and made good progress. but they made an
utter failure when it came to adjusting the
percentages on traffic coming through Kan
sas City. The freight agents dropped the
matter at that point and reported to the
executive officers that they were unable to
come to terms. The meeting of yesterday
was sequel to that of the freight agents.
All the percentages were established on all
classes of traffic except grain. This was
referred back 10 the traffic men, and they
were TO make report to the executive Of
ficers on Thursday morning. The chief OBJ
stacle TO the working of the pool up to
this time has been the Kansas City, Fort
Scott & Gulf road. which has been opposed
TO pools, and by its attitude made ii impos-
sibe for the traffic men to come TO any
agreement. 1t came into the fold yester-
day, however, and accepted the percentage
allowed. The percentages from all points
were adjusted except from Kansas junction
points. and that portion of the traffic will
be taken up tomorrow.

Why Gold is Coming Here.

The Journals statement, sustained
by figures, that gold is boarded here for
speculative purposes is confirmed 10y
to-day's financial article in the London
Times predicting a rise in the bank
rate there tomorrow.
In view of the fact that the rate OF
exchange does not make gold exports
profitable, the Times says it cannot be
doubted that the shipments to the
United States which have raised the
bank rate are induced by premiums
paid by the American banks to the
houses undertaking the gold ship
ments, the gold being wanted by the
customers of the banks for boarding
purposes. The Times calculates that II
Mckinley should be elected most OF
this boarded gold will find its way
back TO England The pernicious
character of the single gold standard is
evidenced by the fact that it makes
possible the boarding of the money OF
the country whenever the gambling
banks and brokers see an opportunity
for speculation, however harmful 1t
may be to the interests of the people.
Further, by the fact that we have to
90 to England for gold, instead of find
ing it at home.
How ridiculous it is to call gold the
"American dollar" and s'the money of
the American people" aud the only
"honest money" when Americans
have to look for it in Europe whenever
it Is needed here.
When do the American working
meu ever see gold? "Honest money" is
the money of the country in the hands
of all the people. With free silver
coinage at the ratio of 16 to /, and a
double standard of equal value and
equal power, both the gold and silver
dollar will he the American dollar, and
banks and gamblers can no longer cor
ner the money of the country at their
| will.-New York Journal.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1896-10-30

and the perpetuity of it's free institu-
tiOns are dear.
Can any honest elector hesitate be-
tween these two candidates? The one
represents the policy which, whether
under the name of McKinleyism or
Clevelandism, has brought the coun-
try to its present distresstul condition.
The other is the standard-bearer of the
party which has had no power or re-
sponsibility in the past, but offers for
the future what Is believed to be a
remedy for the effects of misgOvern-
ment from which the nation has suffer
ed acutely for three years past and is
suffering to-day.
Tear away the mask of patriotism
and public honor, and under the Nc
Kinley banner are found corporations
thathaSe shown contempt for the law
of the land and the rights of the public;
trusts that have WrOnged the people
by illegally combining to raise the
price of the necessaries Of life; banks
that have boarded gold for the pur-
pose of pinching the government and
the business of the country for their
own profit; mliliOnaires who make
gold their god; fanatics whose instincts
tempt them to do battle in State and
nation, wherever they can get power
against the individual rights of the
people.
Under the Bryan banner are found
the sturdy champions of popular rights
| against the encrUachlnents of corporate
Lower, individual greed and crazy fa-
naticism. Can there be any doubt un-
der which the American people will
march to the ballot box, despite mis-
representation, falsehood, bribery and
| intimidation?
A vote for Bryan will be vote for a
new policy, for national prosperity, fol
individual rights and for the honest
money of the people.
A vote for Mckinley will be vote
for continuation of the old policy
for the perpetuation of business disas-
ter, for the further growth of the
| trusts, for-greater abuses on the par
of railroad corporations, for gold for the
few and poverty for the many.
Workingmen of America, choose "
between the two.
