= Total ................ s25,s75,743 sS5.7 900
This shows an increase of over $s,s0o,0 900.
The above total estimated net surplus for
1892 OF the three companies, after deducting
the interest on the collateral As, Is equal to-
ST per cent on the total proposed capitaliza-
tion of $401 $50, 900 stock Of the Northern secu-
rifles company. It will be seen that it makes
no difference to this rate Of interest or earn
ings whether. the Northern Securities com
pany owns all or only a majority OF the 49,
sues outstanding for it, is understood that
any of tho Northern. Securities company stock
issued will be Issued at the rates above men
toned and consequently, If an exchange Is not
made the total amount of Northern Securities
stock is proportionately reduced. 1t has been
stated on good authority that all OF the Bur
lington stock, except $4,000 shares, has been
exchanged for the collateral trust bonds. NO
reports have been given out as to the exact
amount of Northern Pacific and Great North
ern stock that has teen exchanged, except
that the Northern Securities company has ac-
quired more than majority OF each.
The increase in gross and net earnings Of
these properties for the past year Is little
short Of marvellous and is undoubtedly greater
than the most sanguine friends OF the 'corpo-
rations ever expected and only demonstrates
again the tremendous growth in wealth. popu-

prosperous nation,2 the United States. The

miles of railroad, and the territory covered by
these lines between Chicago, Duluth and the
Pacific ocean need be but ment toned to indi-

Of their earnings in the year ending 1901,
the surplus applicabale to dividends will still
be sufficient to pay per cent on the Northern
Securities company stock. If, on the other
hand, earnings continue to increase In the
next decade as they have increased in the
last the earning power of the properties will
be sufficient to insure a continuous dividend
at higher rate than any now paid by any

ENORMOUS YIELD OF ENGLISH INCOME TAX

last three months over e $4,000, 900 was
paid into the exchequer; that is, five and
a quarter millions more than in the same
period of last year. This enormous in
crease is chiefly produced by the duties
imposed by the chancellor Of the ex-
chequer in 1901. The extra I'd on the
income tax imposed last year of course

New York, July 19.-Very little has been
heard Of late regarding the Northern Sc
curities company. Its stocks, however,
continue firm on the curb, and no one
seems to have any fear that the company
will be declared illegal. On the contrary,
1t must be said that in the opinion of
Wall street, the company has come to stay
and will not be disturbed by the courts.
The New York Commercial Advertiser
has big idea of the possibilities lying
behind the Northern Securities company
In an article just published on the sub
jeot, it says: g. ...
The Northern Securities company offered to
purchase Northern Pacific stock at $115 per
share and Great Northern Railway company
stock at $50 per share. If it acquired all of
the share capital of these two corporations
and issued its own stock at par therefor at
the prices above mentioned 1t would have a
capital OF $4O1. .250,000 For the purpose Of
studying Its income account we can assume
that all of the shares have been exchanged
as proposed and that all of the Burlington
stock has been exchanged for collateral trust
bonds. The earnings Of the three underlying
corporations for the fiscal year ending June

AS there is law in force prohibiting
the importation of alien labor in the is
