Express Company Profits.

No commission will eyer no able te
n5d out the exteut OF iii. profits mace
out of the carrying business in this
country, but the recent handing out OF
81. 100000 of surplus profits by the
Adams Express company reveals one
branch of it which has mate many of
our multimlllionaires. Within ten
years $36,00O,000 have been paid tc
ton to regular annual dividends, which
may represent as high as 40 or so per
cent return on the capital actually in
vested in the business.
Others Of the big express companies
are paying large dividends. In one
way and another the officials of the ex-
press companies are linked with the
railroads. 1t TRANSFERRED last summer
that Hartman was heavy owner of
express company stock and able to
manipulate the vast surplus OF one
Of the transcOntinental corporations.
Aside from the question as to the rea-
sonableness of the rates charged by
the express companies, there is a point
to consider in the duplication of the
work and cost and diversion of prof
its under the present system. The rail-
roads carry the express freight without
providing, extra facilities. They could
handle some of the business themselves
and thereby add to their own profits,
which they claim to be so small as not
to justify reduction in rates; also some
Of the money going into the so, 600, 600
watermelon would have gone to the
postal department if we had a parcels
post system. Mr.. Hill says that the
railroads are not making money enough
to keep their plants up to the capacity
demanded by the country's business.
Charges are made that railroad de-
mands for carrying the mails are ex-
cessive in some cases. That somebody Is
making big money out of the railroad
plants is shown by the express profits.
II part of those profits should go to
the railroad owners the roads and
eventually the whole people would be
gamers.

What the Storage Brings Us.

It is a common notion IN this country
that the human movement to America
Is made up largely of driftwOOd and
that the vicious, idle and even criminal
classes predominant. Some most horri-
BILE propensities are found among our
immigrants, and it is the settled belief
that only by stringent laws and cease
less vigilance can we escape food of
undesirables.
Now, race prejudice is very strong,
and Americans are not free from it.
Because u few foreigners go wrong it
does not follow that all immigrants
FROM the land represented by the few
are bad lot. The European view,
based on hard facts, disputes this in
dictment. In the past Germany has
complained, with good reason. that all
the ablebodied young men ran of to
america. The steerage population
proved it. Now several European
countries are protesting that the bone
and sinew Of the agricultural districts
are moving. westward. Small farmers
and village tradesmen are enaigrating,
and industry and agriculture are suf-
fering. Both views cannot be right
We do get a percentage OF criminals
and paupers and would gladly cut
them out. But il We are getting the
kind Of stun Europe is anxious to keep
ut home it is worth our while to make
sharp distinction and while snubbing
the wrong sort welcome the right sort.
There are more where they come from.

THE TELEGRAPH STRIKE.

Again the commercial and social
interests of the country are confront
ed by great strike. Again war
is declared between the employer and
employees. Again a battle royal is
being fought over the overwhelming
abyss between capital and labor.
The thoughtful observer will stop
and ponder well the question before
passing an opinion on all the merits
iof the present trouble and the ulti-
mate outcome, if such disturbances
continue with ever increasing fire.
quency.
On the one hand there are two
great corporations, the only tele-
graph companies doing business in
this country, and on the other hand
the operators union, while just be-
tween the two combatants receiving
the full force of the fire from both
sides is the great national public.
The corporations have great fort
unes to draw from and the men at
their head will stand we'll in the
rear of the firing line and out of
the danger of personal damage. The
operators are not as class living
from hand to mouth but they receive
salaries much above the common la
borer and the most of them can well
afford short vacation. But the
public must take its medicine how
ever bitter. Trade relations are para
lized and commercial interest will be
ruined by war in which it is not
direct party though it may have
stood calmly by and allowed the row
to come to fight.
1t does not matter how the present
trouble is settled, the parties TO the
fight will not suffer to the same ex-
tent that the public will. If the
operators lose their contention the
companies will exact more and great
er efforts from the operators who
take the places made vacant by the
strikers and thereby increase the
vast army of discontinued and en-
courage great corporations in other
lines of business to demand a few
more drops of sweat from the brow
OF unpaid labor. If the operators
win and get all they demand they
will be so intoxicated with their vic
tory that those now demanding thir-
ty dollars per week of six days of
eight hours each will be asking more
and the trouble will be renewed
The only alternative is treaty or
agreement between organized priv
ilege and organized labor which
means the quartering of two great
standing armies at the expense of
the people. the one the army of priv
ilege, or a public utility corporation,
and the other, of laborers. They
will agree to share together the
great revenues taken from the peo-
pie and together they will hammer
away at the corner posts of the ma
ton.
