Gov. Culberson should call the legisla-

chickens from fighting, or mass the

Cheap Riding.

In Australia you can ride q distance
of 1000 miles across country for $3.50
first-class, while workmen can ride six
miles for 2 cents, twelve miles for 4
cents, thirty miles for 10 cents, and
railroad men receive from % to 80 per
cent more wages for 8 hours of labor
tnan they are paid in this country for
ten hours. In Victoria, where these
rates prevail, the net income from the
roads is sufficient to pay all the federal
taxes. In Hungary, where the roads
are state owned, you can ride six miles
for l cent, and since the roads were
brought by the government the mems
wages have doubled. Belgium tells
the same story-fares and freight rates
cut down one-half and wages doubled.
Yet the roads pay yearly revenue to the
government Of $4,000, 900. In Ger
many you can ride four miles for cent
on the government-owned lines. Yet
wages are over 125 per cent higher
than they were when the corporations
owned them, and during the last ten
years the net profits have increased Al
per cent. Last yoar the roads paid the
German government q net profit of
$25, 600, 900. People who favor the
government ownership OF railroads
claim that If our government owned
the railroads we could 60 to San Fran
cisco from Boston for SO Here is the

Francisco. A passenger car wiz. carry
fifty passengers, which, at SO each,
would be $500. or clear profit Of
1925 per car, and this, too, after pay
ing 81 per cent on watered stock, which
is fully 100 per cent on the cost Of the

And now, in view of the fact that
Grover Cleveland has seen fit to call

over here at the close of the war

est on the same to the tune OF nearly
$50, 600, 900 more. / saw them come
over here about the close of the war
and gather up our legal tender cur
rency and with it steal some 81, 2,OOO,- :
600, 900 out of our treasury, which,
with interest on the same, amounts,
up to date, to about 81, 600, 600, 600
more. / saw them come over here
in 1874 and steal several millions of
longtime bonds. l saw them come
over here again in 1873 and
steal the legal tender power away from
all the silver we had in our mines. l
have seen them come over here and
steal all of our most valuable railway
securities and hold them in so fast
grip that their financial agent, j. Pier
pont Morgan, says that he has it in his
power to demand the resignation of
the president Of any of our trunk lines
who objects to rate of freight that
will not meet the interest and divi-

what the condition of business is in

"nebulous Monroe Doctrine" To-day
that principle has an entity, an in

A writer in the December number of
the North American Review says: I'VE
all know that the development and ex-

govern the redistribution of trade CEN

new channels of commerce" The same
writer says when the Nicaragua Canal
is opened Europe will be brought to the
very doors of America.
The Monroe Doctrine assures the
Nicaragua Canal. The Nicaragua Canal
will build up Trans-Mississipp Gulf
