RAILROAD STATISTICS.

The fourteenth annual report OF the
Interstate Commerce commission, sub
mIttad to Congress ON the ith Of this
month shows that the gross earnings
OF the railroads operated for the year
ending June 30 last amounted to
Sl4s5613.oA. or ilU6 per mile OF
these earnings t869.sG0 100 were classed
as passenger earnings and tlOiS26S-
Sl5 as freight earnings The gross
earnings shown in the FINAL report for
the preceding year were NG3GO,iiS
Operating expenses for the last fiscal
year aggregated &956Ai,l42, or b,O25
per mile Of line The net earnings Of
the roads embraced In this advance re-
port were {J23S5S.9l2 for 1900. or S7S-
ll07E more than they were for 1899,
Income from investments and other
sources amounting to 6o,615,1OO were
received. so that the total income was
}5slt346l2, The amount OF dividends
declared was SlO9. lOOii7 which IL said
20 be about twenty and a half
millions IN excess Of the dividends
during the previous year
The total force employed by the
roads for the year was 92S,92i persons,
and OF these 2.2lO were killed and a.

that the accidents and fatalities OF the
railroad traffic during one year are
about equal 70 those Of a small war
The commission recommends that a
system of public supervision should be
maintained and a close inspection
made OF the rolling stock in service, so
that no wear on breakage may go un.

posed that such public Inspection shall
I'm any respect interfere with the duties
o. the operating companies respecting
repairs Such Inspection would re-.
qulre some expenditure OF money. but
In view OF the large dividends paid TO

should not feel an expenditure FOR the

cial burden

Congress atits last session to enable the
commission 90 exercise 10 some extent

This has proved highly salutary, for

TIE AMERICAN WORKMAN.

A Berlin correspondent says that the
manager of an American tool company'si
works in that city has made a remark
able comparison of the wages paid and
cost of tools made there with the wages
paid and cost of tools made at the Amer-
can works, both sets of laborers using
identical machines. He finds as a re-
suit of this investigation that the Amer
lean workman, making an exact allow
ance for the difference in wages, turns
out q clear % per cent more product
for the same unit Of wages He says that
man for man the German produces two
Gfths OF what the American does. We arc
Breslau, using American machinery, Sc
cured better results by importing eight
American workmen and paying them ny
the piece, to stimulate the German
Horkmen, who then came within 10 per
cent OF the Americana WORK..
Herein is the true secret OF American
success. Our workren have been trained
to be cnterprisng and have been en-
couraged to increase their capacity, by
intelligent methods and first-class ma
ck;nery. 20 the highest point. In short,
the American wcrkmen uses his head as
well as his hands in the work that he
does, whereas the foreign workman
works by rote and rule, being perfectly
satisfied il he can do as well as his
predecessors have done.
Worse than that the labor organizations
abroad have discouraged their members
from Increasing their output Indeed, we
are informed that the rules Of the for
cign trade unions do not permit u men,
Der to turn out more than given meas
urc Of work in a given time.
There is a lesson in this to Americans.
II we adopt the ways Of the foreigners
and through labor organizations or 9TH
erwise attempt to put brake upon the
spirit and energy of Americans, our
workmen will soon be no better than
the foreigners A great deal is said about
the ..pauper labor of Europe" and a
great deal about the protection of
American workmen against such labor.
But the best protection which American
wcrkmen can have against the .pauper
