Whenever public contract is men, toned nowadays there is at once an inquiry as to the graft in it.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-10-20


 When the railroads are earning more money-when they have not cars enough in which to move the traffic that is offered to them-when no one can foresee smaller earnings, why is it that the same railroads are dis charging men anl curtailing expenses? :? Simply because vatered industrials are unstable is no reason why the rail roads should cry Panic when no Panic is in sight. The railroads are, in fact, doing their best to bring on a Panic, but the country is in such a sound condition that the railroads and watery industrials cannot combined bring on a panic. The general business of the country is sound, and there will be no panic, and mone.' will soon be in good supply at low rates for use in all sound enterprises. Let no one doubt the gen eral situation while railway gross earn ings are increasing.
