THE TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM

Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade pub
Eshed on Saturday last, reported the con-
tinuance Of general prosperity throughout
the country with only one disturbing ele-
ment, viz, lack Of transportation. Many
industries are halting." said the report.
because of the lack of cars TO handle the
phenomenal shipments that are urgently
needed" There could not be more striking
proof of the extraordinary prosperity
which the country is enjoying than the fact
that vast as our railroad facilities are they
are unequal to present demands. If this
is the case now, what will be the situation
few years hence with production and
trade OF all kinds increasing in a much
more rapid ratio than railroad facilities?
Even now our railroad facilities far ex-
ceed those of any other country. In fact
our railroad mileage exceeds that of ell Eu-
ropean countries combined, being in round
numbers $4,000 miles, against 10000 miles
in Europe Nearly all of the roads con-
stituung this vast mileage are we'll equipped
and they are constantly adding to their
equipment. During the year 1900 there were
5.153 locomotives built in the United States
of which only about 500 were for export
and during the same period there were
built 124.1O6 freight cars. not including the
cars built by the railways themselves. The
total railroad mileage of the country is not
| increasing in the same ratio with the
| traffic. During the year 1900 there were con-
structed about 1900 miles Of new line
| while the number Of tons of freight car
ried during the year was 959, ,763, ,5S3 an in
| crease of 50, 1926 tons over 1899. The fig
ures show that the railroad traffic of the
! country is increasing faster than the
mileage, and the transportation business
faster than the means of transportation.
! Production, both in agriculture and manu-
| factures. will increase from year to year,
but there is not likely to be a great in
| crease in railroad mileage, and the roads
now in existence must have pretty nearly
| reached their maximum of transportation
| facilities. 1t must be remembered also that
| passenger traffic is increasing as fast as
| freight and must be taken care of as We'll.
| The number of passengers carried in the
! United States during the year 1900 was 523
| 176.5OS, being an increase of % 1O9, ,S27 over
| the year before. 1t will probably be many
years before any more through lines will
| be built from the seabOard to the Middle
| West. In the light of these facts it is evil
| dent that the transportation problem, al
ready a serious one, is likely to become
far more so in the near future. Consider
| ing its relation to the prosperity of the
| country and the price of products there IS
no more important problem for American
| craftsmanship and enterprise to solve.

In letter in a recent issue of the Lon
don Times an old British free-trader Sir
Bernhard Samuelson, advocates tariff for
revenue. but the most Of his observations
make it clear that the protection of British
industries by a moderate duty is the thing
he really has in mind. He says the argu-
ments of free trade "are we'll known and
convincing" but he adds with candor
that others of his belief might adopt "ex-
perience does not bear them out" He calls
attention to the fact that free trade leaves
England at a great disadvantage, first, be
cause she is unable TO obtain concessions
from other nations in return for free-trade
favors; and, second, her manufacturers in
cur peril from the trust combinations of
other countries, which sell their surplus
product for less than cost to keep up prices
at home. He calls attention to the fact
that Germany, since the adoption Of what
is really a protective tariff, in 1880, although
having inferior national wealth, capital
and geographical location compared with
Great Britain, has made great headway in
production and trade during the tariff
period of twenty years, while British trade
during the same period has shown a COM
paratively small increase. Under the tariff
of Bismarck wages have advanced con-
sideraby. The old free-trader is of opin-
ion that If Germany's tariff has been so
beneficial TO her people a low tariff would
be useful to England. But the idea which
duty which the writer proposes is more for
the protection Of Great Britain's industries
than to put revenue into the treasury.

Every man who has spent any time in
the Philippines comes back with the un-
qualified opinion that the natives are ut

persons who insist that they are capable
OF self-government are a few anti-imperial-

that they ignore all the experience of in

The Relative Value for Feed and
PaSTurage

An effort to determine the relative
value OF bronze graBs and timothy Tor
pasturage and hay was made this sea
son By the North Dakota experiment
station. Though the season was not Q
very favorable one, much was learned
regarding the drouth- resisting qualities
OF the two grasses. The land selected
was a meadow that has been in grass
for several years, IN which the soil had
become very firm and flied with a mass
OF roots, penetrating in the case OF the
bronze grass to great depth
Afie" the summer rains the timothy
came forward very rapidly and for
Septic nber yielded $50 pounds aB acre
more pasture grass than did the bT0ma
grass, but the total yield for the entire
season was $50 pounds more feed to the
acre from the bronze grass Tle expert.
Inents were under the direction O. Prot
L1dd, who has thus summarized the re
suits: Bronze grass produced a fair
amount Of pastur8ge in the day year 81
1901, while timothy meGe very little
growth. Animals prefer bronze pasture
TO timothy, as shown IN their grazing Of
1899, when there wa- AZ abundance OF
both grasses and in ] 800 we h8d like re-
suits.
There was but little difference in the
chemical compost ion between pasture
grass from bronze and from timothy.
The total yield To the acre az much ID
favor Of the bronze grass The after
made fair crop of hay in 1900, white
timothy failed. Bronze hay contains
about twice as much protein as timothy.
Bronze hay does not contain more fiber
than the average for timothy grown in
all parts of the United States Bronze
grass sends its roots down deeper into
the ground than timothy ana furnishes
a great mass Of roots in the first foot pl
soil and hence it does not blow away
pl0wed. Soils on which bronze grass has
been grown contain more organic mat
ters4and humus than those On Wnich
timothy has been grown Bronze @rass
is better humus former than timothy
aud leaves the soft in better chemical
and physical condition than does The
timothy.
