get a smaller amount of business
competition is reestablished and
becomes keen, and the tendency
of late years has been more
and more that the salesman
pays his own expenses, conducts
business for himself as a broker
in fact. And then there is the
curious circumstance of a sort of
mania of gouging on the part of
hotels. Mine host of the Dirty
Dishrag inn at Junkville was slow
to learn the profteer game. The
astute commission man could
bushwhack around, avoiding
the good Cor goo d'D
hotels in the larger
towns, and exc out an existence
which, if it had many discomforts
cost next to nothing. Those
days are gone. Mine host of the
Dirty Dishrag if he was slow to
learn, learned thoroughly. His
place is Just as dirty as of yore.
His beds are just as hard, his
flies little if any diminished in
number, his food is scantier if
anything, worse prepared, if
anything; but in the main there
is little change except in the bill
which is Of a uniform robbery
with tina, of the city place.
As for goods transportation,
there wa, never any maagin of
economy to go on. The Ameri-
can system never took any
thought Of economies. Raw ma
terials were shipped from one
state to another distant state to
be manu- actured, then sent back.
At the same time raw materials
were received from the distant
state, then sent back. A practice
that was wasteful then becomes
ruinous row.
But passenger and freight
rates are up to point where
they become Improbable.
Whether people cannot or will
not ship goods, and travel, is all
one the simple fact is that they
do not. They are doing less and
less of beth. And this vast trans
portation machinery, the pride Of
the country, is falling into decay,
is failing to function. Greens.

THE LAW OF DIMINISHING
RETURNS

One of the biggest facts in a
situation that is full of facts
that are big and tough is the ex-
istence of what amounts to a
strike of the buyers of trans
portation.
The volume of travel is low
and continues to shrink. The
railroads find it necessary to
discontinue more and more
trains. There are so many
reasons for it that it may be
difficult to fix upon any as para
mount.
A short while ago the stream
Of railroad travel was thing to
marvel at. Why was it that the
whole population appeared to
put in most of its time getting
on and off trains, going to trains
waiting for trains, and riding on
trains? There was a lot of busi-
ness to transact; but much of
the time the travelling salesman
stayed at home, because mer-
chants clamored for goods by
letter, by telegraph, by telephone
But if the salesman went little
after the merchant, the mer.
chant used much mileage in 60
ing after the salesman, and there
was hope that he might eventu-
ally be permitted to buy a few
goods. Wage earners were bur-
dened with a surplus of dollars
that came so fast and easy that
their spending raised a problem
hitherto unencountered. And
there was a great restlessness.
People had to think new and
terrible thoughts. 1t seemed to
the imaginative as if all this
vast throng, "Journeying to and
fro, seeking after satisfaction
were mainly engaged in trying
to escape from themselves,
from an unwonted burden of
thinking.
There is not so much business
now. The travelling salesman is
out and hustling, to be sure; but
commercial travel is restricted
by a circumstance presently to
be mentioned. There is not an
excess of cash in unaccustomed
pockets, the wage-earner no
longer finds his imagination tax
ed to divise ways of getting rid
of it. And there is comforting
and wholesome postulate that
minds are getting back into a
sort of normally. If the minds
of the people would project them
selves into new paths, upon new
speculations, about facts not
previously pondered, doubtless
we should have a great mental
elevation of the mass, without
spiritual loss; but when these
things are caused by outside
forces and when the things new
ly pondered are mainly hard and
repulsive, the effect is fearful.
The mind seeks in any excess
escape from itself, from this
forced celebration; and an orgy
of railroad travel was the least
serious symtom of the times.
But the law of diminishing re.
turns is the measure the econo-
mist is applying. 1t was graph
ically illustrated in one of Ding's
cartoons the other Cay. Com
mercial travel has become a
problem of the survival of the
fittest. Any man whose gains
from a days trading to which
he must go, and which does not
come to him, will tell you that
fare alone, to say nothing of the
Pullman cars, is right around
four cents a mile. counting the
fractions that must be paid for
as whole miles. The travelling
salesman must work harder toJ
