RAILROAD PROBLEM
The Solution Suggested By a New
Haven Man
FOR FREIGHT AND PASSENGER
Re Has Published a Monograph From
Which He Furnish‘a Some Extracts
Fur the Public.
New Haven, Conn., Nov. 20.
My Dear Sir: Please allow me to call
the attention of your readers to my little
monograph—“A General Freight and
Passenger Post”—just published by Geo.
3?. Putnam’s Sons New York. My hope
is that the scheme suggested in my book
■will prove a practical solution of the
Railroad Problem and that it will secure
the same quick and wide spread accept
ance in our country that Old England
gave to the postal scheme set forth by
Sir Howland Hill in “Penny Post” pub
lished issued in the spring of 1837. Tn
January, 1840, less than three years after
Mr. Hill first made known his plan to
isihe English people it was English law
and in course of application throughout
(Great Britain.
I Hope that the year 1900 may see my
railroad scheme adopted by congress and
in course of application throughout the
whole railroad system of North America.
Mr, Hill found the postal rates of
iEngland determined as our railway rates
;ire determined today— according to the
value of the service rendered or in rail
way parlance, according to “what the
traffic will bear.” He proved that this
principle was not only unjust; it was also
unprofitable. “The high rate forbade
the use of the mail to the poor, hindered
the development of trade and. of com
merce and greately injured the revenue.”
The true principle for the determination
of the postal tax was the cost of the ser
vice rendered. Any rate that would pay
■the cost of the carriage of a piece of
postal matter over the shortest postal
route would pay the cost of the average
service and that rate should therefore be
adopted as the uniform standard rate for
tail stations within the postal system.
SS\iat is true of postal ratesis equal
ly true of railway rates. Any rail
wayjrate that will pay the cost of the
rihoifteSfhaul of a person or of a com
modify within a railway system will
pay the cost of the average haul and
is therefore the cost of service rate
which should be adopted as the uni
form standard rate for all hauls. The
/highest railway authorities in the
•country, among them George B.
Blanchard of the Joint Traffic Asso
■elation as New York recognized this
fundamental truth. There is no good
reason says Mr- piapchftrd. why the
UwY'orm rite on milk now prevailing
for all stations within a radius of
hundred and thirty miles of
JSew York should not be extended to
cxEse thousand miles. The council of
the D. L. and W. road admit that
(this milk zone might be justly ex-
■ tended to the furthest station in the
■ country, the only limit to the uniform
srate being the distance within which
the milk might be brought to the me
tropolis in fit condition for use and
for this reason —the cost of the ser
vice is practically the same whatever
Joe the distance it is carried. ‘ ‘The
--ost of the delivery of the can at the
heboken terminal is in no real sense
dependent on the length of the
hauls.” The only fault to be found
with the present uniform rate on milk
to New York is that stated by the
Hon. Joseph H. Choate to the Inter-
■state Commerce Commission last win
ter. This uniform rate thirty-two
cents on a forty quart can of milk
and fifty cents on a forty quart can of
eream is three or four times real cost
of the service.
The peculiar strength of my posi
tion is this : I but ask that what is
already a rapidly growing railway
custom in through traffic shall be
made a common law applying to the
entire business and to be enforced by
the government. Any state moreover
may require that any or all the rail
way corporations ■within its limits
shall make the lowest rates charged
between their two nearest stations,
their uniform standard rate for all
■stations within the state’s jurisdic
tion.
Would any state secure both the

best interests of its railways and of
its people, it will, this very winter,
pass laws compelling each of its rail
way corporations to apply this life
giving cost of the service principle to
the determination of the transporta
tion taxes levied within its limits.
Five cent fares per trip on way rail
way trains will prove as profitable to
our railways as the penny post has
done to the English post-office. One
dollar a ton per haul will pay a hand
some profit on box car freight and
forty cents a ton will far more than
pay the cost of the average haul of
open car freight.
The question of the currency of
money having been settled, at least for
a time, may it not be worth our while
to consider the principle which deter
mines the currency of life?

A Unique Republic.
The republic of Goust is the smallest
in the world. Andorra is an empire in
comparison. Goust is about a mile
square, and it houses 130 persons. It
has been independent these 250 years.
It stands on top of a mountain by the
Spanish border, near the edge of France,
and it gets along very comfortably with
out ever mixing itself in other people’s
affairs, and without reading the even
ing papers, or, so far as we know, the
morning ones. The delectable 180 govern
themselves by a council, one member of
which is selected to see that the busi
ness agreed upon is executed. Matters
go along very smoothly, and Goustians
are all the happier because nobody
knows much about them, and therefore
they are unenvied. —Kansas City Times.
CAPT. J. D. JOHNSON.
To all whom it may concern: I take
great pleasure in testifying to the efficient
qualities of the popular remedy for
eruptions of the skin known as P. P. P
(Prickley Ash, Poke Root and Potassium).
I suffered several years with an unsightly
and disagreeable eruption on my face,
and tried various remedies to remove it,
none of which accomplished the object,
until this valuable preparation was re
sorted to. After taking three bottles, in
accordance with directions, I am now en
tirely cured. J. D. Johnson.

I took to tny bed with Rheumatism nine
months ago and the “Mystic Cure” is the
only medicine that did any good. I had

received very little relief irom them. I

Paid Too Much For the Eaby.
Caleb has three children—John, Mary
and Jane. John is the eldest and so tho
most inquiring. He had heard that ba
bies were bought from doctors, and one
day asked his mother about prices.
“Mother, how much did I cost?” he
inquired.
As some reply had to be made, his
mother said SI,OOO. John thought it
over for a moment, and then asked:
“How much did you pay for Mary?”
“Fifteen hundred dollars.”
“Why, she cost more than me.”
“Yes, girls always cost more than
boys. ’ ’
“What did you pay for Jane?” Jane
is a little self willed tyrant.
“Jane cost $2,000,” said Mrs. Caleb,
and John lapsed into deep thought.
In a few moments ho said, “Mamma,
I don’t think Mary cost too much, but
you got stuck with Jane.” —New York
Times.

Depression of Spirits, SOUR STOMACH,
Heartburn, etc. This unrivalled remedy is
warranted not to contain a single particle of
Mercury, or any mineral substance, but ia
PURELY VEGETABLE,
containing those Southern Roots and Herbs
which an all-wise Providence has placed in
countries where Liver Diseases most prevail.
It w ill cure all Diseases caused by Derange
ment of the Liver and Bowels.
The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are a
bitter or bad taste in the mouth; Pain in the
Back, Sides or Joints, often mistaken for Rheu
matism; Sour Stomach; Loss of Appetite;
Bowels alternately costive and lax; Heaaache:
Loss of Memory, with a painful sensation ot

have been done; Debility; Low Spirits, a thick
yellow appearance of the Skin and Eyes, a dry
Cough often mistaken for Consumption.
Sometimes many of these symptoms attend
the disease, at others very few; but the Liver
Is generally the seat of the disease, and if not
Regulated in time, great suffering, wretched
ness and DEATH will ensue.
The following highly esteemed persons attest
to the virtues of Simmons Liver Regulator:

Throbbing Headache it is’the best medicine the
world ever saw. We tried forty other remedies
before Simmons Liver Regulator, but none gave
as more than temporary relief; but the Regu-
Uter not only relieved, but cured us.’*— ElX
