that all of the passengers, though trav

paid the regular second class fare on ac

roads of the South Atlantic states In
stead of $64,342,919, which was the amount
they actually received'for this service,
would have received the sums given ln
the second, column of table 5.
The third column shows the excess of
this amount over what was actually re

In other words, the figures of the third

they had been charged lh*» rates of the

Rusjto does not properly belong ln this
table, for it cannot be considered a coun*
try of government railroads.
According to the “Statesman’s Year
Book” for 1894, Russia at the beginning
of 1892 (the latest figures obtained) had
18,441 miles of railroad, of which only 6,824
miles belonged to t^ie state, and this Is
not all operated by the state, for a re
cent number of tho Railroad Gazette men
tions that the government has recently
leased an Important line to a private
company; so that in any comparison that
may be made, Russia must be considered
os a country of private roads.
In all of the other countries In table 5
the state owns and operates tho greater
part of the railroad mileage.
Table 5 deserves further study. As has
been stated, the railroads in the South
P l U ?i.r O /.*?!5I ,0ia they wouW have a surplus
of $17,147,633; more than forty times what
It was.
This would have given them a dividend
or more than 20 per cent, on their entire
capital stock, or would have paid off
their entire bonded debt ($61,627,458) in less
than four years. These results ’ would
have been obtained from their freight
business alone, supposing that they car
ried all passengers free of charge. #
And yet there are many honest but
misinformed men, who, misled by Mr.
Watsons statements, actually sigh tor
th « * h ?ap of government railroads.
Did the Hon. Thomas E. Watson, who
professes to know so much about rail
roads that he has written a pamphlet on
the subject, really believe that German
rates were cheaper thah American rates
wwn he made that statement?
If he dM believe It he must have given
very little study to the subject, for rail-
road literature the world over is full of
American cheap rates.
Hon. A la ace F. Walker, a former mem«
»>«r or tho Interstate commerce commis
sion, says that “American railway rotes*
especially the long distance freight rates.
are ,? c l.' Iow ttS 40 bo the wonder of tho
world."
Mr. Edward P. North, a distinguished
engineer and an American delegate to
tne international Congress on Inland
Navigation, held at Paris ln 1892, said In
a paper read before that bodv.
J is generally known that the people
th . e StJale51 Pay less for assem
bling and distributing their products than
those of any other country." Ii© aiso
havo now attained the lowest
freight charges known."
, prtva . te conversation he
used the following simple illustration of
the value of cheap rates: “Suppose you
and I wish to exchange knives. Both of
"® being present we can do so without
River Route to Florida."

Now, lf these roads had received tho
Belgium rates (tho lowest of any country
ln Europe whore the government operates
the roads) they would have had $23,209,433
for dividends, nearly ten times tho
amount they had under the rates they
charged. 71m Austro-Hungarian rates
would havo given $40,697,133 for dividends.
The Populists lay great stress on the
fact that on somo government roads, on
certain dfcys, on certain trains, a man
cent a mile. While this Is true, it Is also
tho case at certain times in the United
States. During tho past summer a man
could go from almost any of tho princi
pal points in Georgia to Savannah and
return, or from Sawxnnah to Charleston
and Jacksonville and return for Ices than
1 cent a mile. But as has been etated it
Is tho freight rate that is of moat Im
portance to tho prosperity of the coun
try.

Now If the Southern roads could have
received the German freight rate (taken
from official German reporta) they could
have carried all passengers absolutely
free of charge and have had $10,973,470
for dividends instead of $2,671,925 that they
actually had under the rotes they actually
charged.
Germany la generolly considered as the
country where government management
haa reached the highest stage of develop
ment. but if all of the railroads In the
United States had received the German
freight and paaeenger rote* the4r net
earnings last year would have been In
creased $392,194,684.
But Mr. Watson says on page 30 of hla
pamphlet: "In Germany the government
owns the railroads and charges less for
the service than our corporations charge
vs,"etc. Either Mr. Watson or the German
government officials have “mode a mis
take” as to German rotes.
The population of the South Atlantic
group of states in 1893 was about 7,640,000,
or about 434 persons for each mile of
railroad. The following table shows tne
number of people per mlle of railroad
ln the countries we have been considering:
TABLE 6.
Country. Pop. per mile of HR,
Germany
Austro-Hungary 2,008
Belgium ..2,160
Denmark ijoo
Whole United States..., jji
South Atlantic states 434
The European roads have a much
larger population per mile to serve, but
the people do not »p«id aa much, per cap
ita for transportation they do in
America.
The roads of the South Atlantic grojp
are capitalized as follows:
fope, and a little less than one-half of
th m?f ^ hlch P r °™n In England."
This fact is fully realized in Europo. Mr
or r„SJ' ? no 01 u, ° ablest staUclans
England, In an article ln tho Fort
nightly Review for March, 1891, Bays:
American railroad rotes and Amerl-
pan railroad profits are now equally the
lowest In the world. There Is no need
for any controversy on this point."
