SOME LEGITIMATE RESULTS.


en- a financial backstep. The Inter-
national Mercantile Marine COM
pany did not earn enough money last
year to pay interest on its bonds,
there being a deficit of $2,039,15O in
the annual report just out. This is
the company that started out with a
glowing prospectus, to revolutionizs,
or at least monopoliZe, the Atlantic
carrying trade. Great things were to
be done. The sea had at last been
Morganized, and it only remained for
the American organization to do all
the business and get the money.
The first year was poor one. This
was explained in the first annual state
ment. 1t was stated to be the result
of depression in freights and the en-
barge placed upon cattle shipments
from New England points. These were
fair enough reasons, for the unfavora-
BILE features complained of really ex-
listed.
This year the showing is worse, and
the annual reasons are again forth
coming. The extreme" depression in
freight rates is now found to have
been profound" depression during the
twelvemonth period passed. A great
loss in tonnage was felt owing to the
falling off of wheat exports, rea-
son the northwest can readily under
stand, for last year there was not a
very large spring wheat crop, ana after
providing for home requirements lit
tie could be spared for sale abroad.
Other reasons for loss of business al
SO appear-all good reasons. There is
little question, then, as to why the
company lost business.
This, however, does not bring out
the basic reason for the bad financial
showing DISQUALIFICATION is the
trouble The company stands for
193,0O0,000 and affords as good an
illustration of stock watering as any,
thing Of recent years. The scandals
following the great decline in the
company's securities about a year ago
will be remembered.
The company really does big bust
ness. and gross earnings in its first
year were $31,O37, 900; last year, even
with adverse conditions it earned $685.
846,000. But expenses must be met
and in the net it must save out enough
to pay interest on bond issue of $72,-
100000, and there is 100000, 900 of pre-
ferred stock, and $6O,0OO,OO0 common
waiting for anything left over. The ra-
ito of net earnings to capital account
must be changed or there never will
be anything left over.
1t is the old story of American fl
nance, of the stretching of capitali-
cation to cover earnings computed al
a time of great activity and prosperity
The principle has had some hard
knocks, but it found great exploita-
ton in the last great boom in oul
country, and still survives that period
of trust formation and consolidation
But there are few homely principles
that run counter to it and put it tC
the bad in the final account. One is
that thing is worth just as much as
it is worth, and no more.

day afternoon affixed his signature to
rescript containing his Majesty 5
decree to give elected representatives
OF the people an opportunity to *
press tllier views in the preparation Of
the laws of the Empire.
This is the autocracy's final re-
sponse to the agitation in favor Of
participation by the people in govern
ment. which has brought Russia in
the last few months almost to the
brink of revolution. Its import must
not be misunderstood. For thepresent,
a: least, it involves no change in the
regime of autocracy, and it means
either a constitution nor national
assembly. At the same time it recog-
nizes the principle of the peoples
right to be heard regarding laws un-
der which they must live.
The signing of the document came
at the end of a dramatic scene, thu
climax of which was an inpassioned
speech by Emperor Nicholas to his
ministers, in which he declared that
he sought only the welfare Of his sub
jects.
Il am willing" the Emperor said,
ito shed my blood for the good Of my
people,"
The rescript is directed to the min-
lister of the interior and says:
My desire is to attain the fulfil
ment of my intentions for the well
fare of my people by means OF the
cooperation Of the government with
experienced forces of the community,
and. continuing the work Of my
crowned ancestors, to retain the pres
tige Of the Russian nation undimin-
ished and to maintain order therein.
I am resolved, henceforth, with the
help of God, to convene the worthiest
men, possessing the confidence OF
the people and elected by them, to
participate in the elaboration and
consideration Of legislative measures.
In undertaking these reforms l
am convinced that local needs and
experience of life we'll weighed and
sincere speech of those elected will
insure fruitfulness to legislation fo1
the real benefit of the people. AT
the same time I foresee all the COM
p1exity and difficulty presented IN the
elaboration of this reform while pre-
serving absolutely the immutablllty
of the fundamental laws of the En-
pire."
