In the case of the southwestern
group, including lines in Texas, Ar
kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Kan
sas and Colorado, the increase in net
earnings was 2s.19 per cent, which
is greater than that of any other
group of systems in the United States.
An examination of the reasons for
the phenomenal increase in the pros
perity of southern railroads, shows
that they are associated with matters
of national policy, which, during the
past four years, have been matters of
republican policy.
The price of the great southern sta
pie, cotton, went up from five to
seven cents, and from seven cents to
ten cents per pound, for the primary
reason that the general policy pre-
vailed of opening up American mills
to labor. A large number of the mills
thus opened were cotton mills and
the section where nearly all of the
new ones were opened was in the
south.
Money has loaned at lower rates
of interest; both agricultural and
manufacturing interests have been
stimulated thereby; and what stimu-
lates these interests directly stimu-
lates the business of railroads. The
outbound shipments of the raw cotton
may not have been heavier because
more was used in the southern mills;
but the outbound shipments of tex
tile goods have greatly increased. Also
the inbound shipments of the luXuries
of life have increased enormously, and
this class of freight is the best pay
ing of ALL
Opening up new markets in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines for
the products of the south has given
great additional stimulus to the
southern railroads, which geographic
ally considered, derive unusual advan-
tages from the expenson policy.
