Evidences of Prosperity.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company

Pittsburg. under the superintendent Of
the Pennsylvania Company A report Of
the freight carried on al the lines leased
or operated directly by the company In
1897 shows an aggregate Of 5l,So0.056 tons
as compared with l6.i7G.li0 tons in 1896.
There was an increased profit over the
cost Of carriage OF three-tenths OF a mill
per ton per mile-to such fine elements
has the science OF transportation been re-
duced. The entire number VI passengers
moved was 15, 532. 725-a falling on cOmpar-
ed with 1896 OF SAC. $50. There was a net
loss OF two-tenths OF a mill per possen~
ger per mile on the business or lJi as
compared with one-tenth or a mill In
1896. These staggering figures give some
idea OF the tributary business done by
the Pennsylvania railroad west OF Pitts

7, has been openly confessed time and
again by the National Committee mat
the one great over-shadowing purpose OF
the party was to open the mints OF lhe
country 20 the free coinage Of silver and
that ALL other questions were to be held
On obevance until this should be ac-
complished. 1t Is perfectly logical
therefore, that the men who have map
ned out this policy for the party should
be opposed 10 taking into their connoils
and confidence any man who Is opposed

standard.
We saw this very early In the action

party organization, determined TO cast
their lot with the party in spite OF tnelr
opposition TO the Chicago platform, and
they have tried so hard, yet as IT turns
out in vain. TO affiliate. in almost
every instance that we know Of where
one OF the party leaders has pursued
this course he has received the cold
shoulder from the organization.
Like Mr.. Harrity, We regret exceeding
" that free silver has been made the
test. but we do the lc>iefs tie justice
TO say that they have been entirely
frank about this matter. have served no
tlce time and again that none but free
silverltes was wanted. and If a gentle
man Of a different view has IN spite OF
this fact attempted to force himself upon
the party. We really do not see what right
he has to complain, n the party snuhs
him for his pains. The only question
now Is az to how long this thing Will
last. II Chairman Jones and his friends
continue to direct the policy Of the party
free silver will continue 20 be the test.
II the Democratic masses want 10 aban-

MIR. HARRITY's COMPLAINT.

We referred yesterday to the action
of the National Committee I'm dropping
Nj. Harrity from its membership. Mr..
Harrity. in attending to the action Of
the committee, said that it was OF little
moment to him personally but he regretted
that the committee had taken such ac-
ton as il would seem to indicate that
only those who believed in the free and
independent coinage OF silver could re-
main in the party organization, and, he
added:
Il was personally opposed to that doc
trine and so notified Chairman Jones
while the campaign OF 1896 was pending.
1 have not changed my views with re-
spect 10 the currency question, and | am
sian opposed TO the free coinage OF sill
yer.
Furthermore. / believe that the time
IS not far distant when IL will become
apparent to the masses Of the Demo
cratic party that they are being misled
by those Who now lead them, and that
the present blind leadership OF the party
will be repudiated by the Democratic
people OF both State and nation.
Il know it Is true that Mr.. Bryan has
stated that he counts upon the support
OF Pennsylvania in the Democratic ma
tionai convention OF 1900. but this fact
does not disturb my belief hat both Mr.,
Bryan and free silver coinage VIII re-
ceive their quietus sn that year, II they
shall pot have been cnectually disposed
OF ever before that time"
We do not see why Mr.. Harrlty should
be surprised at the action Of the commit
tee. 1t has been as plain to us as a
thing could be. ard we have repeatedly
pointed It out In these columns. that the
extreme men are in control OF the Dem
ocratic party. that they have made free
silver the one all absorbing issue. sub
