Our Internal Trade.

Wonderful as are these figures relat-
ing to our foreign commerce, they APP
pear small when placed in contrast with
our domestic commerce. The stupendous
volume of the internal trade of this amaz-
ing country may be judged by the fact
that during the year ending June 30,
1902, the railroads of the United States
earned for carrying freight alone more
than $1,2OO,00O, 00O-a sum greater than
the total value of our imports and near
ly equal to our total exports. 1t is ,'u-
rious coincidence that the number of IONS
of freight handled was almost exactly
equal to the number of dollars charged
for hauling til, 200,315,717 tons of
freight and $1,2O7, 22S,S $40 freight reve-
nue.. Let any one that likes try to esti-
mate the total value of that enormous
bulk of freight, and in his calculations
let him take into account also the value
of goods going by steamers, by express,
through the mails and by electric and
freight lines. No other country in the
world can show the fifth part of the do
nestle trade which the United States en-
