TRUE TEST OF PROSPERITY.

No truer test Of American prosperity
can be found than railroad dividends

the United States Is conservative. 1t
is not the habit of the great steam
transportation companies to declare
dividends that are not justified by ex-

era of liberal railroad dividends, con-
servatively declared, should be
golden era, for 1t reflects prosperous
conditions in many branches of human
