Savannah, Aug. THE tendency
toward higher prices was very much
in evidence the forepart of week when
Sept. sold up as high as 1874 and the
close that night 7SH bid, was highest
since recent advance began. The con-
ditions causing this were merely a
repetition of those prevailing for some
time, but which apparently grew
stronger the higher the price went.
Paris and Antwerp showed liberal
gains each day, while Liverpool dis
played no inclination to decline.

GOVERNMENT RAILROADS.

No Solid Argument Can Be Brought TO
Bear Against the Policy of Public Owner
ship.
Question:. What are the railroads
of the United States worth in cash?
,. If should buy railroad stock at
say so cents on the 81, and the govern
ment should compel me to sell. would
the government have to pay me face
value?
3. Is there money enough in the
country to pay an honest price for the
railroads?
4. Is there any probability that the
railroads could be operated by the gov
ernment at a profit. or would they be
operated like the post Office, at loss?
5. Would it not largely increase the
federal patronage?
Answer. AS near as can be ascer-
tanned, about $4,000, 600. 900 or S, ,OOo,-
00O, 900.
9. The government would not buy
any stock at all. It would buy the
property from the corporation at what
the property was really worth. The
corporation would then settle with its
stockholders. If the railroad was re-

ally worth its stock you would get face
value for your stock, not from the gov
ernment, but in winding up the affairs
OF the company.
3. No. Neither is there money enough
in the country to pay for one years
crop of farm products The simplest
way for the government to buy the
railroads would be to issue bonds for
given to the stockholders in place of
stock, and would be a safer investment
for the stockholders. The interest ON
the bonds could be paid out of the pro-
ceeds from operating the roads, just as
dividends now are, SO it would not be
any drain on the government resour-
ces.
4. The post Office department is not
| run at loss, statements to that effect
to the contrary Notwithstanding. All
the government business is carried by
the post Office. If this were paid for
at the same rates as other matter there
| would be no loss. The so-called def
| cit" is really the expense of carrying
on other departments of the govern
| ment.
Besides this, under the present sys-
tenn of railroad ownership of govern
ment," the postal department annually
pays the railroads many millions in ex-
| cess of what the service is really worth.
There is no reason in the world why
under government ownership of rail-
roads the roads should not pay all the
expenses of operation, pay the interest
on the bonds, and pay the principal of
the bonds in 20 years.
5. Yes. but not as largely as many
people suppose, and there is no depart
ment of government where civil serv-
ice rules would be more easily applied.
We have before shown that patron
| age" is becoming burden, and not
help to the party in power, and it is
for this reason that politicians are
| yielding SO rapidly to the steady ex-
tension of civil service erules.-Chicago
