Government Railroads and Socialism.

Government Railroads and Socialism.
From the New York Journal.
The fluctuating transportation rates
that threaten the prosperity of the far
mer. the manufacturer and the merchant
alike, in consequence Of the supreme
court decision declaring railroad COM
binations for maintaining uniform
charges Illegal, illustrate afresh the
utter inability of the government to
solve the transportation problem so long
as the railroads remain in the hands of
private corporations. The government
ha. an opportunity of taking the first
step in the direction of public ownership
by acquiring the Union Pacific Railroad.
But congress hesitates to commit itself
to direct governmental control of the
means of transportation for fear that
such policy tends towards socialism
That fear is ungrounded. Socialism
contemplates the abolition of competi-
tion, while government railroads are ad-
vscated because railroading is non
competitive business, and interferes
with the free competition of ordinary
industries.
Every business of whatever kind be-
longs to one of three classes-that in
which returns diminish as the labor and
capital invested in the enterprise are in
creased, that in which the returns are
constant, or that of increasing returns.
Agriculture, for example, is an indus
try of diminishing returns. After GER
tain amount of capital and labor has
been put on field of grain, it does not
pay to invest more. Similarly, the
quantity of land which one man can
prohtably own and cultivate under
system Of free labor is limited, as is
shown by the disappearance OF the large
plantations at the South and the bonanza
wheat farms at the West.
Commerce and manufactures are in
dustries of constant returns. The sup
ply OF the raw material of their products
is unlimited, and unusual profits must
depend on superior skill in management
and minor economies. These two classes
Of business are subject to compstition-
except when artificial barriers, as pro-
tective tariffs and patent laws, intervene
and comprise the vast majority of in
dustries.
To the remaining class-that OF in
creasing returns-belong all natural
nOnopolies, as railroads, gas supply,
street car service, highways and streets,
electric lighting, canals, bridges, light.
houses, ferries, docks, harbors, natural
navigstons, postal services, telegraphs,
telephones, etc.
The cost of the plant in the case of a
railroad, for instance, is comparatively
great. But as the increasing volume of
business taxes its capacity, the facilities
of the road can be enlarged by slight
additions Of capital. The larger the
business the smaller in proportion is the
cost of service. To protect its own
future, large road is forced 10 make
war on rival of less business, and the
sooner the war is precipitated the easier
will be the inevitable victory. In the
meantime disaster overtakes the COM
petitive industries, which depend for
prosperity on stability of transportation
rates, and when the war finally ends in
consolidation, as it invariably does, rates
must be increased to cover the waste OF

American Manhood.

An elevator in New York city build
ing broke the other day, and the plat
form fell from the tenth story to the
ground. There were nine men and one
woman on It at the time OF the acci-
dent The leg of ono man was broken;
the arm of smother; and all were in
jured more Or less ~ the terrible
shock. The woman escaped unhurt, it
il said. because che men all stood close
together, and, lifting her above them
IN the air. saved her from any concus-
sion more severe than a jar. Each man
here must have felt that there was a
chance Of his death in the next minute.
The prompting in these men that led
them with one impulse to save her was,
in the opinion of Youths Companion
writer, not because she was especially
pretty, or young, or old. but simply be-
cause she was a woman. Nor did the act
receive any marked notice from the
newspapers. 1t is natural and usual for
American men to protect any helpless
woman. No race, ancient OF modern,
las given to the weaker sex the univer-
sal honor paid to 1t by the American
man. A witty woman with quick-see-
ing eyes and keen perceptions, who had
travelled much, said: "An Englishman
is not rude to a woman, If she belongs to
i higher class than his own; French
man compliments her if she is young
and pretty; but an American takes care
Of her though she be old and ugly and
poor, because he believes her to be
gentler and better than himself" The
American woman should consider long
before she risks the losing of this pre-
rogative by becoming a loud, boastful.
weak imitation OF man.

A st. Louis paper recently gave an
account of the organization of a society
Of young women in Carthage, Mo-,
whose mission was to raise money for
Cuba. The story was pure fiction, but
the name. picture and residence of the
alleged leader were published. She re-
ceived so many letters offering help
and encouragement that she organized
such a club among her friends, and it
is meeting with great success.

He was a Maine clergyman, and, OF

least. Accordingly, says an eastern con-
temporary, when he espied nickelin-
the-slot machine at seaside resort last
summer, his curiosity was aroused and
he dropped in a nickel. Luck was COM
ing the clergyman's way that day, and,
to his intense horror, ten nice cigars
rolled out of the machine in response

nickel ratified through 1t. In fact, the
good man was so scandalized that he
took the cigars away and burned
