— THE MACON TELEGRAPH: MONDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 5, 1894 it m. To Che Editor of the Telegraph: In the ponvphlet you referred to Lb! Ing I have cndeaweef to refute, by In- tibcju.jblt authorities. nil of the claim* tlial Pooi/IWto have mode In re, the superiority of the govern me road- of the world over the railroads of America. Ihev have claimed that travel ww Met ar.d that rate* -were oh caper than on American r*«roidn. They ulao cl.tinted that the railroads were proo- pertcit and were a source of profit the government. A study of the statistics of railroads the world over shows tnat American freight rates are the lowort ever k "v'il'e the average wsrerutor rate Is Mlghlly higher In America than in oomc foreign countries, this Is due to the fact iitii, generally speaking, about Ihtev f.iurlht of the trrvel on fort an ra i loii.ie It third class, and only sbuut S per cent, lint class. This generally brings their avenge s little lower Own the av erage American rate, but It 1'xe hot I’epuctnt the tiumr cnotorlt and convt Jeiicta In travel. It Is the freight rale, honever. that Js of the moat imoortancs to the people, especially to the farmer, and i! ilie Aaierica!i_£gffil* iMt ie- •vive the freight rates oi any cotintiy on earth whore file government opera/tea n majority of the railroad mileage, they could curry nil the passenger* entirely free of chargo. and have net earnlncu far .greater then they earn at present from both freight and (xnrnatgeiw. Vj »K.ion who will study the iiflcwl re ports win etlsuuto this ■ title men t. Trevel 1* slightly safer In Europe then In America. Thl« la not due to govern* moot management, for In th.»re roun- trios where the government owns Some of the railroad* and private companies some, the accidents are more freriuer.>t un ithe government lines than cm the private oner. The re aeon why accident* nre more frpauent In Amorim thin In Europe l> theit'the conditions ere entirely dlffcr- Odt. There they have a perfect aytem of aaifety eppllancos which we only commenced Introduchtx n few ye«r« u:eo. Congress, however, has trw'eil a law requiring ell roads emtHgcrt In In- toistote commerce to provide acme of the nf»; Omiiortant of these, before Jan. uiry. 1KI». end tne road* have adopted otiheiu without being required to do to. The principal cause of the.accident') In America 11 duo to the different rad ioed regulations' In force, In Europe there In it watenmam nt *very imMln load crowing, and no person Is alloyed to walk on the track. .Morn than half of the onmonn that wore killed on the rattnonds of America, lark year were tern- Phaser*. In Europe, puiaamrem nfe locked up in the care, and there Is no «landing on the platform* or passing from car to- car on ordinary train*. A man Jumping on or off a car In motion In liable to line md Imprisonment. An.tlii r cause of fsitaUtkn In the Til'll- C'i Ktifte* is ihe car stove. In ft. w"e/k. K the move I* upset, the ear generally citchon Are and the tom of life la great- ly increased. In Europe, gem-rally, tho can* are not heated, only a can of hot Witor awing dacnl under tho feet. In oold Weather the American tnvelem would prefer tho vvnnm enr with the d<«dly car stovo to the eol.hcnr ond a somewhat greitcr degree of safety. From a financial standpoint govern- ment management Is a dismal failure the world over. In Canada slid South 'America while (he private roads are very prosperous •those managed by the government, taken all together, do not make their operating expenses. In Australia the -people havo to pay n freight Mto about three nnd a half jtlmea n* large as that of America, and then have to be taxed In order to pay five nr six millions of dollars of de* dolt on the Interest on their railroad bmjds. In India tho freight rate Is higher than hero, but the made do uot pay expenses and fixed charges nnd tho people bnve to he taxed to make up the deflojt. The same Is Iruo'of every country In Europe whore tho govern ment operates the rends, with the ox- eeotlon of Itelglum. The Belgian gov ernment roads lost money- regularly, while they had to compete with pri vate lines, so s few years ng« iho gov. ornment bought tho most Important private lines and raised the rales higher than they were IWty -years sgo, ri.thni the railroad deixirlment could show a surplun Instead of « deficit. The Prussian railroads ohatv a surplus, evidently fictitious. ' To sum up. then, government rail- roads the world over charge higher rales (han American, nnd still the people have fo he taxed to keep them running. We cannot assume that our government could manage Hum hotter thnn the European governments do, for I have shown thnt our postal service nod our ronsiruetlon of government buildings compares very unfavorably with- I helm. Government ownershln of rstlrnvls l« the most Important plank In the Populist platform. Do not these fads, which cannot be controverted, surprise the Populist render?

"Some men /ire bom great, greatness. sn4 some have geestnest thrust upon them." This might have been true when sdvancemejit came through the favor of Kings and Queen*, But in this American republic and in this nlhteenth century there Is but one way for at man to become great. H* ' must achieve greatness, and no man can achieve greatness without education. W)th education the poorest boy may become the greatest man, though we can not all be president. The moft Important question Is: Would we be prepared to perform the duties of •.great office if It werO.thrust upon us? W* probably would If we should do as One Great President did. Ho Is said to have, as his constant companion, the Encyclopaedia Britannlca. He Is even said to have kept a set In his ~ private car while making a campaign tour. This mark of diligence and intelligence made him many friends and admirers. There Isa great principle Involved In this ^|ea. If you look up just one question each day you will soon become an educated person, and you learn to er.joy It. These questions should be investigated sight when they come up. while your mind Is curious; then you won’t forget what you read— you can’t If you try.
