SELF-MADE.
Humble Beginnings of Great Rail-
way Men.


The time when the politicians oi
Pennsylvania controlled appointments
to the Pennsylvania railroad and mu-
nicipal political machines unloajed
their henchmen on street railway
systems has gone by. Promotion ac-
cording to merit is also displacing
nepotism and other abuses. Indeed,
i roll call OF our leading rsiifoad
presidents would indicate that the
spirit of democracy has always pre-
vailed. James ]. Hill started his
career as a stevejore in the docks at
st. Paul. while Hartman was the son
of poor country clergyman. James
McCrea, president of the Pennsyl-
vanla. began working upon railroads
as a rodman. Oscar o. Murray, presi-
dent of the Baltimore & Ohio, was
originally a ticket agent. Charles e.
Mellen, president of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford, began as a
clerk in the cashiers office. George
F. Baer, of the Reading. was origi-
nally a printer. Sir William C. Van
Horne-an American by birth-one
of the creators of the Canadian Pa
cific, and Martin Hughitt. president
of the Northwestern. both entered
the railroad business as telegraph
operators. George B. Harris, of the
Burlington. was an Office boy. Fred
erick ID. Underwood, of the Erie. WAS
a brakeman. and William II. New
man, president of the New York Cen
trail and all the Vanderbilt lines. was
a station agent.-MeClure's

lany quarter. The rebound from that
disaster, however, was entirely too
violent and was overstfmulated b. an
excessive supply OF cheap money sud
by the tremendous restraining power
of the great corporations or trusts
which never before had the oppor-
tunity OF exercising their power in
this direction. As result we fell In
to the delusion that the effects of the
panic were over and that the old-time
prosperity would soon be here. This
was a fatal mistake for which we are
Inow enduring the penalty. Those
effects have simply been deferred:
and II Is a question now whether the
cure would not have been more effec-
tual and more rapid II events had not
been allowed to take their natural
course. The cotton goods market.
for instance, is a striking example of
the benefcient working OF the open
market. No industry in this country
IS more free OF combinations and
more open 10 tree competition than
that Of cotton goods. As a result
cottons were the first TO undergo the
necessary readiustment of prices and
production: and today that market. Is
in better condition In every respect
than any other great industry OF the
country. Nearly all OF our great
trusts are languishing under the III
effects OF unwise and. artificial regu-
laiion. Tariff agitation Is. as we know,
chiefly blamed for present inertia.
and there IL no doubt that many ne
gotiatlons are held in suspense on
this account; but there are other ele-
ments OF depression. as just noted;
and, as no injurious changes are ex-
pected in the tariff. there is little real
occasion for hesitaney on that account
The truth is the readjustment pro-
cess Is still incomplete. We must
come down to lower costs OF produc-
ton and lower costs of living; then
we may be ready for a fresh start,
Meanwhile tarin revision will COR
tinue to be used as a DOGGY by those
who wish TO frighten congress out of
making any important reductions In
the schedules.

Simsboro, La.

Dear Sir:-I am prodigiously en-
tertained with all of your work, es-
pecially am I edited by your articles
on Foreign Missions. I have for a
number of years opposed foreign
missions on general principles, but
now since you have Ito my mind
so conclusively exposed the system as
persisted in by the missionary ia
natics, I have become rather an en-
thusiastic opposer of foreign mis-
sions.
But I soon find myself rambling
among the Letters" written by con-
tributors to the Jeffersonian. Some
of these letters have a clinch on my
attention just now. The whereof is
the vehemence with which some of
the brothers urge conference of re-
formers. Now, believe discussion
is timely, perhaps a conference is
also, provided the object be exclu-
sively to organize the Populist party
(the only true reform party I know
of. Some of us old Pops still re-
member conference held some years
ago in which the Bryanites had part
(the biggest part). The result of
this conference was we'll nigh de-
structive to the reform, or Populist,
party, and Mr.. Watson was terribly
wounded in the same experiment.

labor forces into one body. Let's see

My Dear Sir:-My father has been
a subscriber to your periodicals from
the Peoples party paper down to the
present, and I have been close
reader Of them ever since l began
to notice affairs political. 1t is in
deed refreshing to look back over all
the years and see how you have ever
been on the firing line, always where
the fight was the thickest, never
swerving from the straight path of
duty, inviting opposition and ridi-
Guile, counting political disaster for
the sake of upholding principle when
you had only to hold out your hand
to be crowned with success as the
world sees it.
