employed by the railroads in 1900 than In
lS95-the increase being 232. 619 The num-
Der OF persons employed is about one-third
as many as the population of the United
States at the close of the revolutionary
war. A million employees means at least
three millions of men. women and children
depending upon them for support. In the
amount of wages paid employees is another
interesting fact, which is that while the
number of employees has been increased
about 20 per cent. from 1895 to 1900, the
aggregate of wages paid was almost 80 per
cent. greater last year than in 1895 Add
ing s1Sl. 75s.5SO to the aggregate of wages
in one great industry represents an i'm
mense purchasing power. 1t is equal to the
value of taxables returned in the city OF
Indianapolis.
The increase in the carriage of passen-
gers in 1900 over 1895 may not seem re-
marka ble-namely 50 400. O00-but the in
crease is five millions more than the entire
population Of the United States in 1890.
The figures showing the increase of tons of
freight carried contain the remarkable fact
OF the prosperity of the country. The
gross receipts of the roads in 1900 were
500. 9l9O67 greater than In 1S95-an increase
of 431s per cent. There is nothing like this

PROSPERITY OF THE RAILROADS.

The fact that the report of the Inter-

year which ended June &c. 1900. was not
sooner given TO the public detracts very
much from its value. still the statistics are
valuable as showing the Improvement in

such comparisons are here made for the
years which ended June 80. 1895, and June
