ENGLISH AND AMERICAN RAILROADS.

The British public like the American is apt to grumble
against the railroads and undoubtedly it has much strong
reasons for complaint Whatever may be said against
line they are the pioneers of progress and improve
ent in all departments Of their business while the English
companies are lacking initiative and combine high charg
es with their ancient methods the Chicago Record
Herald.
A comparison Of freight rates which is made by
respondent London Economist reveals amazing
difference The charge for one Of our eastern
roads is given at little ton mile, whereas
is stated the English charge cannot be much II any
less than ID per ton per mile.
The comparison provoked discussion in which a
champion OF the English railroads asserted that the rates
were the lowest in the world the conditions of traffic
were taken into account this apoogst too
in his declarations we'll out Of rough handling
His conditions were be usory his position
tenable 1t was admitted the other side that the
British figures were hard at because the roads
secreve but this another count in the indictment
against them while certain rates proved that the
average struck could not be far out of the way.
As an illustration of stupid conservatism the
pondent quoted referred to the continued use of small
freight cars One great company is only experiment
ing with single Of size that has been in common
use in the United since 1876 and this is considered
bold departure The correspondent thinks that is
pical Of conditions generally that the British corporations
are a quarter a century behind the times and that
this largely lack Of competition, which, he
says hardly exists though the roads complain of it.
Turning finally to his particular comparison again his
conclusion that the American line doing better for its
shareholders better for the public THAT is charging
lower rates for the servces) while paying higher
wages for servants and this sweeping inference is based
upon study of official reports whose statistical matter is
set forth in tables from the showing to be in
dsputable that feeling Of security their old methods
