Alfred II. Mulliken, president of Pet- tlbone, 'Mulliken & Co. of Chicago, one of tbe best posted men lu the country on railroad topics, has made a public statement in which he says; Every man In the United States who Is interested in the return an$l main- tenance of prosperity la asked to con sider carefully the following facts. Although the recent adversity came when the prosperity of the railroads was most pronounced, It was duo to the attacks upon them, which com pelled tbe roads to stop all expendi tures for improvement, as this attack upon their credit made It Impossible for them to sell bonds or obtain money. Tbe panic of 1007 was caused by the attack upon railway credit, which cre ated n fear in the minds of tbe people which led them to distrust nil securi ties. But, putting aside railroad his tory. we are now faced by a condition, not by the past. All Desire Prosperity. Whnt we all desire is prosperity. Wo cannot be prosperous If any large In terest among our people Is suffering and depressed. The credit of an In dividual or of a corporation is only im proved by an Increase In their net earnings. The railroad expenses have increased In the one item of labor alone $100,000,000 In the last twelve months. They face this situation: Either reduce wages, increase freight rates or go Into tbe hands of receivers and stop nil payments for Interest and dividends. The roads have 1>een forced by public opinion and by the administration to advance wages and by tbe same are unable to reduce them. They are there fore compelled to face tho other two alternatives. We know what would be the effect of many roads going into tho hands of receivers. Tho only practicable alter native, therefore, Is to advance freight rates throughout the country. Inorsssss Not F«l$ by Consumars. This advance will eventually fall upon tbe consumer, but it will be so •mall that he will not notice it. For Instance, a 10 per cent horizontal in crease in freight rates would hardly bo known by any consumer. This In crease on a suit of clothes from New York to Chicago would be less than 1 cent per fiult on a pair of shoes from Boston to Chicago less than half a cent per pair, on aderby hat from New York to Chicago leas than one-third of a cent per hat To the railroads It would mean an Increase of $140,000,000 to $150,000,000 in earnings per year. Tbe proposed Increase Jn freight rates will not change any distributing center, will make no difference in any line of basinets to tbe people engaged In it But it makes an enormous dif ference, not only to tbe steel Interest for example, but to business generally, if there is a demand for only 60 per cent of tbe steel producing capacity of the country. The Carriers as Buyers. Tbe railroads consume 50 per cent of the iron and steel manufactured in this country, and the moment railroad buying ceased activity In tbe steel mills diminished and business gener ally was Impaired. Tbe railways are tbe second largest purchasers of everything In tbe United States. Seventy per cent of their earn ings are Immediately distributed for Inbor and material. Within tbe last twelve months they have Increased their payments to tbclr employees over $100,000,000. Does any one think that this $100,000,000 Is not a benefit to tbe people? Dividends paid by all tbe railroads In tbe United States In 1007. tbe most prosperous year, was 3.73 per cent Tbe average dividend per annum paid by all railroads In tbe past thirteen years was leu than 2V4 per cent per year. Our Roads Charge Lowest Rates. Freight rates are lower In this coun try than in any other, and tbe service here Is much better than In any other region on earth. The capitalization of tbe railroads In the United States Is lower than In any ether country. Tbe average Is about $07,000 per mile In stocks and bonds. In France tbe average Is about $140,- 000, In Germany about $110400, In Engfond about $273,000 per mile, and one English road Is capitalized at $000,- 000 per mile, on which It pays 4 per cent dividends. On tbeee high values tbe French rail ways pay 4Jt per cent tbe English 4 per cent and tbe German 0.1 per cent A redaction In* freight rates below a fair return to the railroads doe* not help any one. Railroad Prosperity Helps AIL II Is absolutely true that the rail roads cannot prosper without helping tbe people. They do not board their earnings. As stated above, 70 per cent of their gross earnings art spent Im mediately for labor and materials. If this advance In freight ratee tikes place tt will Improve the credit of the raOroedo, tt will enable them to eeil long time bonds itihlr rats of In terest end to obtain money to property maintain and taprove their properties. The railroads shoo id be helped, not hindered. In their efforts *to keep out of benkngrtey. improve their proper- DRAWS DARK PICTURE OF RULE OF RUIN IN VENEZUELA Writer of Not* Describes Results of Castro’s Rapacious Regime—Foreign and Homa Industry Destroyed and People Starving. Over the signature of Stephen Bon sai, who writes from first hand knowl edge of affairs lu Venezuela, the New York Times prints an article on “Ol- priano Castro, Cattle Bandit of the Andes.’’ Mr. Bonsai says: It Is undoubtedly a mistake to char acterize Castro as a South American typo. He Is fortunately an exceptional man in any continent For many years now Castro has had no relations with the respectable classes among his fellow countrymen, except those which the Jailer has with his prisoners and the burglar with those whom ho robs. One after an other the European and tho South American powers have at the Instance of self respect boon compelled to sever all relations with the "bad man** of Caracas.

Courts Aro Castro’s Creatures. This view of reasoning sounds well, but It Is not in accord with the facts. When tbe American concessions which have now been confiscated or are dis puted wero made there were courts in Caracas which commanded confidence, and Castro has abolished them or changed their personnel without ob serving tbe due processes of tho law In so doing. Tho other charge which tho partisans of Castro bring has much more founda tion In fact. Tbe accusation is that during the Matos rebellion all tho for eigners aided the Mato* forces with men, money, arms and Information. These charges have never been proved by evidence that would stand scrutiny, but here at least there is some basis in fact. In three years Castro had ham pered and Indeed In many instances, as In the atpbslt concession, absolute- ly ruined every enterprise In the land ■ conducted by foreigners.

An Investigation Just completed by tbe German government shown that Great Britain sends tho largest num ber of telegraph messages a year—04,- 000,000. The United States, with twlco the population of tho United Kingdom, sends only 05,000,000 messages, Ger many 52,000,000 and France 58,000,000. Tho position of tbe United States In tbo next telegraph census will no doubt be Improved by the quick, low cost service of tbe new telegraph company, the Telcpost Tbe United States has 1,155,480 miles of telegraph wire, four times as much as the United Kingdom, but tho American companies earn only $24 per mile against earnings of $39.00 In Great Britain, where the average cost per message is only 10 cents as com pared to an average cost of 32 ront: here. | In Germany tbe government lines' find it profitable to carry a ten word 1 message between any two polnta In I tbe emptre for 12 ceuta.

With tbe largely lu- 1 creased business that Is shown to bej tbe result of low rates and good serv ice and with tho economies mado pos sible by tbe Telepost’s automatic sys tem, experts who have studied tbs question believe that tbe now company will make a larger profit at 25 cents for twenty-five words than the old companies make at much higher rates.
