methods of the Mccormick Company

thousands of dollars to the farming

A New ExpIorntIou.

The American Museum of Natural
History is soon to begin a systematic
exploration of the coasts of Asia and
North America, from the Amoor River
in Asia to the Columbia River on our
continent. The object is to study the
various peoples inhabiting these re-
gions in order to settle, If possible, the
question whether Asiatics once crossed
to America by way of Kamchatka and
the Aleutian Islands. Among the prin-
cipal things studied will be the various
languages now spoken in northeastern
Asia and northwestern America and
some idea of the extent of this subject
may be obtained from the alleged fact
that between the Columbia River and
Bering Strait ten languages are found
that are fundamentally distinct, and
these languages have thirty-seven dia-
lects which are mutually unintelligi-
ble." On the Asiatic side, it appears,
the confusion of tongues is not quite so
great, although the number of distinct
languages spoken there is seven, and
the number of mutually unintelligible
dialects ten. The explorations are 20

money has been furnished by wealthy

ternational congress on legislation for
the working classes which convenes
here next September. A similar con.
gress met here in 1890, and at the COM
ing session the useful changes in legis-
lation for the workers enacted since
that time will be discussed. Among
the topics outlined for action will be as
to whether International protective
measures for workmen are possible or
desirable; ought International bureaus
for the collection and distribution OF
trades statistics be established; as to
the advisability of submitting workers
to a protective regime. and how far
protection is beneficial"

Three to One.

In discussing the railway problem
those opposed to the companies should
bear in mind that more than seventy
dollars out of every hundred invested
in railway property paid nothing on the
investment last year. To put the prop
osition in its simplest form, nearly
three dollars brings no returns for
every dollar that earns dividend.
1t is contended by some that the
present capitalization is an unfair
measure of the investment because
stock-watering and similar transactions
have inflated the capital. Perhaps IN
some cases this is true, but on the other
hand vast aggregates of stocks and
bonds have been wholly swept out OF
existence by foreclosures or reorganlza-
tions The one about balances the
other.
This being the case we get down to
the present proposition, namely that
the railways have a right to reasonable
returns on the money actually invested.
This is all the shareholoerv-.-.a OF the
public. And they have right to this
The public has no right to demand that
they shall ask less. More especially is
this true when upon the future of these
properties rests the comfort and hap
piness of a million wage earners. And
on the welfare of these. with their four
million of dependents, depends the
prosperity of hundreds of thousands OF
other breadwinners.

why not also Westnewton? And New
