Demand for Parcels Post.

II congress does not put through
the proposed plan of limited parcels
post at this session, then the Sixty
second congress will have to take I'D
the matter next winter. Or, even il
the present session should appropriate
the money for the experimental par
cells post and it should prove satisfac-
tory at the end of year, the test period
proposed in the measure, then 1t will
devolve upon the succeeding congress
to arrange to extend the system so
as to make it general over the country.
The principle of parcels post is
quite we'll established abroad and the
sentiment of our people is crystallizing
every day in It's favor. The masses
have come to believe that they should
have the advantages such a system
would offer and that the government
should employ the power and re-
sources Of its great postal machinery
to that purpose, There is no good
reason that can be generally applied
for not giving the plan a fair trial.
Opposition. to be sure, Is strong.
but it is represented now chiefly in
the American League of Associations,
very vague name for such an organ
izstion. This combination has not
succeeded in converting any vast num-
Der OF people to it's cause this winter.
active as 1t has been in Washington
and elsewhere. The people, as a
whole, are, we believe, still unable to
see the identity between their best
interests and those who are fighting
parcels post. The powerful express
companies are, as they have ever been.
against the plan and they have
merged their strength with all other
forces Of resistance, but their ultimate
defeat and the general introduction
Of parcels post are, we believe. in

How Business Holds I'm.

Railroad earnings furnish a fair
index TO the general condition OF bust
ness. These earnings of the last two
years show a gross increase of s5O7.-
100000, Difficult as it is for the
mind to grasp the meaning OF such
prodigious sums these figures con-
vey some idea of how we'll our pros
perity has been sustained. They
completely refute all suggestion that
the country has not gone on steadily
gaining ground since the 1897 de-
preston.
In 1910 the total gross earnings of
railroads in the country We're s2.s25.-
246,2S1, and in 1903 they we're
$2,5s5,755,S35, showing a gain in
1910 over 1909 of the enormous sum
OF S229,49O,446. The 1899 earnings
showed vast increase over those
of the preceding year but much of
this was simply regain OF lost bust
ness following the 1907 disturbance.
But the 1919 gains represented that
much new business, new wealth. The
significance Of this additional income
of S22s,OOO,OOO becomes more ap-
parent, then, when we get thia view
Of It. The big falling or in earnings oc-
CURED during 1905, so that it required
tremendous effort to bring the total
back up 10 where Il was in the banner
year of 1897. Vet this was accom-
plished and more Ia 1909.
But the most resssuring aspect OF
the situation is that earnings thus
far in 1911 are stin showing
increases and II they hold mp for the
rest OF the year proportionately will
outstrip the records Of 1910. But
with all this prodigious income, some
railroads are complaining that their
net earnings are not increasing. In
