forlorn ltepublican hope, there was net

Railroads and Discrimination.
It is an ancient truism that our best
friends are theso who tell us our faults,
and, therefore, no exceptions cut be taken
te the extracts, elsewhere printed from a
masterly paper by Fref. Richaid T. Jly,'
en the subject of the economic evils of'
American railroads. They show up the'
latter in a style by no means pleasing, for
most Americans are accustomed te think
that nothing can be learned by them en
any subject from their kinsmen beeud the
s:a. But the sober facts are 113 l'rofesser Lly
presents them, and it becomes theso who
want te knew things in their true light te "
examineaud see if his conclusions aie based
en sound premises. In particular, Mttcn-j
ticn is directed Ui the references en freight
discrimination. Tlds is ene of the great
questions that is going te be decided at
the polls this coming November, and it is'
proper for every man te get all the Infor
mation possible te enable him te vote in
telligently en the subject. The mere he
considers it, thomero he will agree that the
Democratic platform in this regard is un
assailable. Lecal Child Laber.
The announcement in the Imklliqex
cer last evening that a local committee of
an assembly of the Knights of Laber had
served notice upon several prominent
cigar manufacturers net te employ child
labor after August 31 , has created a great
deal of discussion in Lancaster's indus
trial circles. If this action shall be gener
ally inaugurated through the city, as is
premised, it will have a far reaching ef
fect en many city homes.
It is said that many of the most aggres
lye members of the local Knights have
children under fourteen years of age con-

with the tline-Ubkvt el as iiiauy Kureivan
railways. He will thou obtain some idea of
the slew avenige rate of travel with us.
Other features et our railways de uet fare

te her Institutions "heuld net treler soceud-
cla.ss travel in that country te tirst class In

average churge is thirty, forty aud occasion

A still mero lmiertnut element is the
safety of travel, audit can be said without
fear of successful contradiction that the reck

of our railway history has astonished loroign leroign loreign
ors, Is eUowbere unknown.
THH ( llll 1 HIIn
But thechlet evils of Auierk.in railways
appear when we oemo te treat et them aj
perlermlug economic services in the trans
portatieuof goods, and when weview rail
way property as an Important clement in our
national resources. It Is thou dillK tilt te tell
w here te begin or vv here te end an account of
abuses, as they are se numerous aud mo
mentous. My thesis is this the needless waste of
railway competition has been siilllcleut te
provide geed, comfortable homes a whele
house te a family ter that part of the entire
population of the I'nited states uet atready
provided with such homes.
The first item In the count is needless ex
penditure In railway construction. This has
been estimated at ene thousand millions of
dollars audit is certainly a low estimate, ler
two needless railways, the West Shere and-
Dickie l'tate, atone account for ene Ultti et
this sum. It must be borne In mind that
needless expenditure Is waste of national
resources which ought te have bouelited the
people. This Is very simple, yet it is elteu
neceviary te repeal it. New, one thousand
millions of dollars is a sum sulllcicntte build
homes for one million families, or Hve mill
ion people.
becend, every needless train Is a waste,
and parallel and competing roils necessitate
a vast number et them daily.
Third, our railways have net been planned
according te any Intelligent HchPine, se that
they should beceme part of oue grand
system of means of communication aud
transportation, supplementing our natural
and artlticial waterway sand ether highways.
Ou the contrary, they were often designed
te lnjuro'ether public highways, and are
still managed with tint view. Hallways
run along by the side of canals, and drive
them out of existence. At times they buy
the canal aud step using it, lest it should
.longer lender any berv ke te anybody. 1 he
Kicbuieud A. Allegheny rallre id "et "Vir
ginia is an example. Here Is a great waste
of resources expended In canals. Railways
prevent the use of natural waterwava. Ihus
the Pennsylvania railroad and the l'acitlc
railways discriminate ugainst these who use
the Ohie river aud the Atlantic and 1'acihe
oceans respectlv ely. These are examples of
a waste of nature's bounty.
Freight rates are often se much cheaper
between competing points than from an inter
mediate point that Irelght frequently pa)es
twice ever the same track it waste of labor
and capital. Kreight Is thus sent from Pitts
burg te Philadelphia and New Yc-k and then
right back through 1'ittsburg te a Western
ioiet, se as te get the competition rate from
oue et the large cities. Freight has llkew ise
been sent from Rochester, New Yerk, te New
Yerk illy, then back ag-vtn ever the same
tracks through 1 ochester te the West Last
winter freight was sent from Baltimore te
New Yerk, then bick through ltiltlmore te
sthe West. Theto examples might be multi
plied Indefinitely.
Auother variety et waste is illustrated by
the anthracite coal combination, which steps
production at intervals iu order te maintain
high prices. Capital power and labor power
.meantime remain idle, and ethor industries
are Injured.
DISUIIMIN VTIONS IN C II Vltfil.
Discriminations iu railw ty charges mean n
dillerencoef treatment In favor el ene party
or thing and against auother iwrty or thing.
The.v are of tliroe nrlncln.il Llmlx. namlv
.llrst, between places, as ler example, iu favor
ei jieaiuii anu sgaius; new lerK, or iu favor
of New Yerk and against Itochester ; second,
between things, as in favor of wheat and
against iron; third, between individuals.
Only the third will be treated lu this place,
as it Is of chief imtortanie from a general
economical stand-point.
Te uuderstaud the re.il gravity of this evil
It is necessary te consider the nature of com.
petition, or the struggle for exhtence In the
economic world. Men eiler services or goods
at varying rates, and each tries te underbid
the ether, and that oller is accepted which,
.all things considered, is the lowesl. New
this is uet the universal rule et business,
but It is a very general one, and
iu in the great business transac
tions of our time it prevails te such au
extent as te be decisive, provided these
transactions are honest, 'lhe largest num
ber of exceptions may be ieuud In the
remuneration for personal services, but
the iorce of competition U indirectly
becoming mero and mero fell, and It is in
cmisiugly dillicull te escaie Irem its control.
When Mill wrete his treatise ou poll Ileal
economy, ierty years age, he could say tint
custom, net competition, Uxed prices lu retail
trade. It Is deubtlul If this can new be said
or that trade in any of the large centres In
Ktirope or America certainly net without
boiIeus modification. In uu ideal condition
of things, such as the old political economy
presupposed, there are excellent sides te this
totupetltlvo struggle, us it then gives a
stimulus te individual Inltlative and activity,
each one trying te eiler suporler sorvices or
goods, or endeavoring te devise methods
whereby production may be cheapened t and
cheapened production means u saving of
capital force and labor force a beuelit te
the world. It can perhaps be said with
slight modification that this economic
struggle preduies a near approxima
tion te Justice wlieu it is between
equals. But hew Is this atrected by
railway discriminations? It has already
been stated that they are net merely in favor
of one, but against another, and the lalter
preposition is as Important as the first. Its
truth fellows inevitably irem the nature of
competition. These favors te the friends of
tee railway pewer, or te these who have In
some way secured an exceptional position,
who have, te use an expression bocemlng
classic with us, getten lu "en the ground
fleer," are an external force against which
all thelr competitors must contend. 'I heir
rivals enter into the struggle earning a
weight, a weight vary lug lu iimeiiut, but at
llmes great oueugh te bear dew it ev en these
who would otherwise be the strongest.
Where cenipetttlnu is nbanv and It is sharp
In these days for nearly all nuulde et rings
aud combinations the freight en goedsls
frequently lar greater than the profit en
them, and a slight variation in charges lu fa
v or et cue party Is all that Is needed te make
the fortune el that one and te ruin competi
tors. Mulhallin lilt Jhellennrv e Statlttlet gives
the numlxir of billed and weuuAed en the rull
ways or the United States u 111 nor million
pasuenfreiB, whereas in Europe H Is only iu 8.
It is Muted that even such delay lu Milp
lueut aud such atiuoyauce as a railway van
lnlllcten a business miii net lu favor Is at
times sutllcleut te cause his bankruptcy.
All this involves Immense waste of economic
resources. Talent In business, accumulation
of capital lu various hums, and organisatiens
extending ever n wlde hum, all et which
ought te have ueeu a blessing te the labor
ing population aud the en'lte country, are
annihilated. The best kuowiusmpleis the
