WATER IN THE RAILWAYS

New York American: For many
years the real railroad business Of this
country TO its mauagers) has not con-
sisted in maintaining a highway aud
transporting passengers aud freight,
bat in issuing watered stock aud water
ed bonds and stealing them. There is
where the true money-making lies.
The total capitalization Of the railroads
Of the United States is si3. 900, 900. .000
OF this huge sum at least oue.half is
water. and the water represents just
that much theft aud that much Of
money illeRitimately added to the for
tunes Of the gentlemen that have ma
nipulaied the properties.
Theft from whom? Theft from the
public, which must pay the principal
and interest Of all these fictitious issues.
Hitherto the public has with amazing
patience submitted to all the ramifi-
cations of this form of swindling. At
last the swindling has reached point
where the public not only pays from its
pocket.book. but pays in wretchedly
defective service and increased perils
to life aud limb. At this point 1t be-
gins to demand from it's legislators
some protection against the swindling
Whereupon the gentleman manipulat-
ors. confronted with the prospective
loss Of their goodly profits. simulate a
hysteria of fear for the welfare Of the
country and precipitate playhouse
panics among the gamblers Of the
Street.

ENcLAND'S FINANCIAL
PRESTIGE WAvERlkC

A New York paper which devotes
considerable attention to the financial
condition Of foreign countries. declares
that Eugland's primacy in the world
money market is wavering. Il refers
to warning uttered by Eigar Speyer.
the banker. some years ago. in which
he declared that unless Great Britain
moderated her extravaganza in govern
mental expenditures. and also cut down
her imports, she must come to grief
financially. 1t is Speyer's theory that
the British have been spending all their
earnings on themselves during recent
years, and he claimed in his warning
that the enormous increase of imports
over exports was out of all proportion
to what the country was saving, and
that the inevitable result must be the
curtailment of the former ability to
invest abroad. The New York paper
referred to declares that the prediction
is in the way Of realization; that
whereas in the eighties Eogland's in
vestments abroad aggregated fully
SEQ. 100000 annually. they are now in
significant. AS a consequence, money
is steadily becoming dearer in London.
"Until 1898 the discount rate was be-
low both Paris and Berlin. In 1898 it
passed above the Paris rate; in 1901 it.
passed above Berlin's. and unless signs
fail it will soon pass above New
York's". This, our contemporary de-
elares. sis the Interpretation in prin-
ciple of London's money market aud its

FORWARD
TO A PROSPER
Gus YEAR.

Our people are all looking for
ward to lively times in this Sec
tion this year. Mining men of ex-
perience have expressed the belief
that this district will surely boom
this year because men who rank
high in the mining world have
been buying property here and
those who have acquired property
here are making arrangements for
a systematic campaign of develop
ment.
1t has been told to us that some
people come here convinced, or
rather with a pre-conceived idea
that Battle Mountain is new spot
on the map and that someone came
along few short months ago and
found that there was mineral in
the ground and consequently caus-
ed boom. Right here is where
the first surprise comes and when
it gradually begins to dawn on the
visitors mind, as a result Of talks
with old-timers, that Battle Noun
tain and its mineral resources are
not newly discovered thing; that
it has been known for years that
there we're vast deposits of copper,
gold, silver and lead in this dis
trict and that all was needed were
meu with capital to invest to de-
velop the immense ore bodies that
exist here, and these men backed
with good capital are getting in-
terested in our district.
All in all a newcomer is impress
ed with the possibilities of the
camp to a degree that makes the
minutes seem like days until be
has made investment in the camp
and stands chance 10 win, as
everybody else seems to be doing.
