Lord Sa1isbury's Oratory.

Lord Salisbury is one of the least
pretentious of orators. Bent in figure
and with eyes half closed, he is a list
less speaker, who disdains to cultivate
the art of elocution. He has a clear,
penetrating voice Of high carrying
power, however, so that he is always
heard distinctly in the largest public
hall. His best speeches are made On
such occasions as the Guildhall ban
quets, when he is conscious that for
eign governments are weighing every
word he utters. He rises like a man in

Haydn was always meeting the most

himself that there are individual ex-

weak to secure concessions for his traffic,
is certain, unless they are withdrawn,
soon to see the special rates which he
has obtained openly promulgated as
charges applicable to all business of like
character received at the same point
The limit to the amount which can be
collected by any carrier for any service
is, therefore, the difference between the
price of the commodity taken to market
through it's agency and the marginal
cost of production of that commodity at
the point whence it is shipped.
1t may be urged, however, that if the
carrier is not satisfied that it will be
profitable from it's own point of view to
perform the transportation upon these
terms, it can withdraw from the bust
ness entirely or by raising it's rates force
particular marginal producer out of
business and substitute another whose
cost is lower. This contention is by no
means wholly groundless, yet it is i'm.
portant to enumerate some of the cir
cumstances and motives which lead
railways to accept traffic at the lowest
possible rates and occasionally mislead
railway officers as to the point at which
profit ceases and loss commences.
Joint Cost.
The primary observation in this con-
nection is that there is no specific cost
assignable to a particular railway ser.
vice. A very large proportion of the
expenses of railway transportation are
incurred on account of numerous servi-
ces, many are incurred on account of
all, and very insignificant, in fact
almost negligible, proportion of the ag-
gregate is accurately assignable to par
ticular services. President Hadley ex-
pressed the consequences of this fact
and at least one of it's causes when he
indicated an important distinction be-
tween railway competition and that of
establishments having smaller proper
tions of fixed capital. He wrote:
AO COluPOC1O1Ou VI 5COIO6
finds natural limit. 1t brings rates
down near to cost of service, and then
stops. The competition of railroads or
factories find no such natural limit
Wherever there is large permanent
investment, and large fixed charges,
competition brings rates down below
cost of service"
In declaring, however, that "compe-
tition brings rates down below cost of
SERVICE" the author of the foregoing
quotation apparently sanctioned the
erroneous assumption of the existence
of specific costs. The fact that railway
transportation presents case of "joint
cost" had not received attention at the
time 1885, of the publication of the
work quoted. The fact that there are

OBSERVATIONS CONCERNING THEORY
OF RAILWAY CHARGES.
CONCLUDED FROM LAST WEEK.

Under these circumstances what are
form utilities and the railway which
can place them in the market? Start.
ing with the fact that the price is fixed
and cannot be modified by the carrier,
the next step is to observe that the
amount that must be permitted to &C.
crue to the producer of utilities of form
is also beyond the carriers control. This
point will be appreciated as soon as it is
stated. The producer of utilities of form
must receive prices equal to his cost of
production. If this is not returned he
will 20 out of business and will no long.
er furnish traffic for the carrier Rail
way officers are keenly aware of this
fact and are exceedingly watchful that
they may not be taken unaware by
changes in market conditions resulting
in the unexpected diminution of the
tonnage received at any point. The fol-
lowing quotation from a statement of
methods of observing traffic movement
with view of preventing such reduc-
tions in it's volume is very suggestive:
Now we will take up that very con-
siderable class of tonnage that goes to
competing markets or to the same mar
ket from competing points. This is not
a certain and easy class to determine,
but practically the distinction does exist
and is very clearly marked at times.
Only the traffic man is in position to
know just what business it is. 1t will
be scattered at various points along the
road and may be very miscellaneous.
Where once indicated by the traffic de-
partment, such tonnage should be regu-
larly withdrawn each month from the
general body to class by itself. \ X
Explanations will largely lie in market
conditions. 1t is the business that is
most sensitive to industrial and COM
mercial conditions, and it is the duty of
the traffic man to detect at once any
general tendencies and adjust his rate
without delay. He generally does on
the complaints of individual shippers.
Sometimes the fault may lie with
the producing point, and the traffic
manager will be as jealous to guard the
business from such decline as if it were
his rate that was at fault"
A full comprehension of the signifi.
canoe of the foregoing is dependent upon
the realization that it is the statement
of practical railway officer based upon
an intimate knowledge of the condi.
tions of railway traffic and expressed in
the customary Technology of current
railway practice. Its essence is the
clear Indication that the volume of traf.
fic is to be controlled through the ad-
justment of charges and that these must
respect the interests of local producers
or traffic will fail. The admonition to
the rate making officer to "adjust his
rate without delay" to changed COM
