FREIGHT RATES.

The frank avowal the other day of the operating officials of the New York Central Railroad company that so far as that company is concerned it is confronted with conditions, which relate closely to the general prosperity of the communities it serves is attract ing the attention it deserves. To con- ' tinue the prevailing rate of wages, to leave unchanged the prevailing freight rates and in other ways ignore policies Of management, which were adopted when prosperity ruled, means the de- l lay of need Improvements in the phy- sical makeup of the ralroads-the i withdrawal of an immense sum of money from circulation and in conse- ] quence increased depression.
 l It will be recalled that these same of i fcials realized the tremendous and l disastrous consequences, which might and probably would follow an attempt ed reduction in the rate of wages paid I and put it aside as impossible of achievement. To ignore other policies i of management, upon the blind theory that "the Lord will provide" would be J to invite business chaos for all Con- cerned. This left for practical consider ation an increase in the freight rates as the least offensive and harmful of all conceivable acts of protection. ' and Maine now thoughtfully raises his i voice in behalf of increased freight rates as the only temporary escape from worse business conditions. He agrees with the officials of the New 1 York Central and presumably with the officials of other roads. that an enforc- ed reduction in the rate of wages
 would be disastrous and make matters
 worse. He also agrees that other at tempts to reduce the cost of service by
 interfering with general policies of i'm provement and betterment would De

by any means, but as a practical means of not only staying off additional dis tress but of assisting in the revival of business confidence There is of course a suggestion of novelty in the counsel to make It more expensive to move the products of the mills and factories Co the market when the market Is feeble, and, under an older understanding of things, in need of lower prices, but SD are the conditions which provoke the counsel novel, The labor end of tha problem Is well entrenched and doubt less feels that since in the past 1t has been the first to suffer from business depression and the last to recover, 1t should now be the last to suffer This
 in fact has been the position of the New Haven railroad, which reduced the salaries of all officers above q cer- tain grade, beginning with the presi- dent II IS likely In fact that in ap- preaching q problem of the character now confronting the business interests of the country novel points of view have been made necessary.
 It would appear to be in order for the business men of the state of Connecti- cut to get together and consider the advice given by the railroad officials in the present commercial crisis If they will assent to the general proposition and will confer with the managers of the New Haven railroad to that effect, 1t Is altogether probable that substan- tial good will come from It. As Grover Cleveland well said upon an historic occasion: It is q condition and not | theory which confronts us.

The Democratic Platform.
(New York Tribune. ]


 Such platform Is not unnttlngly de~ scribed as the most undemocratic propaganda ever submitted in nation al election" and the adoption of 1t by Mir BrNan's convention Is held to be ample ground for boltlng the party ticket Many thousands did bolt the ticket in 1896 and again in 1900 because of the vagaries, repugnant to real dem- ocracy, which were adopted al Mi. Bryan's dictation. The case is just as strong to-day. He is no new Bryan who appeals to the popular suffrage, but the same old champion Of free sil- yer, government ownership of railroads, Initiative and referendum There can be nc doubt that these views of M:. I.cake, set forth frankly and emphatic ally, will appeal strongly to thousands of New Jersey democrats, and will be adopted and acted upon by many of them.
