The railroads Of the United States
collect every twenty-four hours$S, O0O,-
900 from the shippers of this country.
Mr.. Clandlon B. Northup, prominent
young lawyer Of Charleston, who has
devoted q great deal of time to the
study OF the law touching transporta-
ton problems, says that for the year
ending June 30, 1894, the earnings Of
the railroads in the United States
amounted to 81 1860, 600, 900. For the
same year all exports amounted to on
~ $so9, O00, 900, or in other words, the
entire exports were s49l. 0o0,0 600 less
than the freightsand fares of the roads
for the same year. The interest-bear-
ing national debt Is SS47 600, 600 per
annum. He shows that the railroad
earnings per year exceed the national
debt in the sum Of $5l3. O00,OO0 So it
win be observed that the railroad
question is quite a large one. Every
enterprise in the country is concerned
in and dependent on it. The life and
prosperity Of cities and sections are in
yolvsd In this one question. They
lAnguish or thrive, decay or flourish,
