It isan improvement in economic methods of large propor- tions, The experionce of the world | demonstrated this so eonclusively that it aduits of no doubt, and a very little re flection on the nature of the cconomie functions of the railway will render it clear to the reader. When the general public and the press resist this tendencey or cry out in enildish indignation becans Mr. Vanderbilt bought the West Shore railway in the interest of the New York Central and Hudson River railway, they are more foolish than laboring men_who resist the introduction of new and - proved machine The ter have at least the excuse that changed methods of production often oceasion the bitterest distress, and - injure permanently some fow luboring men, and it is havd to ap- preciate a permanent advantage which must be acquired by severe present suf- ng. ‘I'he imoulse to such great ccon- omies as can be secured by combination is so strong as to be irresistible.

Sxpericnee, however, at length demon strated it so conclusively that in 1872 even Mr. John Bright, extremestof econ- omic doctrinaires, no longer objected to the establishment of a railway commi: sion. In this country railways hi managed their own affairs so poorly t they are now clamoring tor legislation o protect themselves from one another. When an English parhamentary connis- sion, after protracted inquiry, abandon an economic theory which kad long been one of the most cherished superititions of English thought, and declare that *no moans have yot been devised by which competition can be permanentiy main- tained,” and when American railway directors renounce their most valued tr: dition, and pronounce competition a fail ure in railway management, 1t is time to aceept the lesson long ago taught by the very nature of railways, and look to some other force than free competition for delivernnce from the abuses of r: way power. The first conclusion to be borne in mind in a discussion of remedics is, then, this: the tendency of rai lr_.\v_:’n"nl monopoly is in the long-run irre- sistible The second observation nature upon which emp! is this: competition in only impossible, but undesirable, It is the proper business of each nation to de velop most completely all national re sources, and to promc the spiritual, mental and physieal welfare of the peo® ple in the most eflicient manner. In this matter, as in others, duty knows no limit save that of possibility, and whatever can be done onght to be” done. We, a people, must not tolerate such was of power as attempts at railway competi- tion involve. We should, on” the con- trary, endeavor to encourage the use of the most improved economic method Does it follow necessarily that railways are to be owned and managed by the stute? No. Public functions are some- times delegated to bodies of citizens. The collection of taxes is a public affair, but from time immemorial governments have sold certain sources of revenue to private partics and allowed these to collect the taxes and derive whatever proiit they could from th ion. Who has not heard of the sneral in pre-revo- lutionary France? Messrs. Vanderbilt and Jewett, in their letter to the Hepburn committee, very properly took the ground that the con- struction and management of rallways are an affuir of the way officials they were performing pub- lic functions which had been committed to them. There are two, and only two, alterna- tives. We must regard our railway. these modern highways—as a public un- dertaking managed by delegated zuthor- ity, and devetop all the possibility of this thought or we must pass over to a system of st ownership and control. The prosent tendeney in the development of American raiiways is to coriect abuses by recourse to the possibi 3 of dele- gated action, Semething may be done In this direction, and perhaps France i the land which ean teach us about these possivilities. The wlea that railways ure lxuhlic highways seems to have aet ogislators from the beginning of rail- way construction in France. Railways have consequently there been built ac cording to a well defined plan; & po tentattompt has been made to subordi ate them to the public interest by careful state supervision, the evils of competi tion have for the most part been avoided and churters have been so granted that at the expiration of ninety-nine years all railway wroperty reverts to the state without any compensation whatever, while the right of purchase in the mean time is reserved. Should we decide to adopt this idea the United States, it would bo necessary to extend our sys- tem of state raiway commissions, and to supplement it by & national commis- sion. This wovement could then be fol- lowed by the preparation of & carefully drawn federal and state rail- way map, giving the location of actual nd proposed railways, so that they f a genoral must be laid is_not in might form one harmonious system, sup- plewentieg all other highways. * * | | | [ | to the st | nent of Bismarck | system | The succossful cxperiment of Russia is | instructive A N vn German econamist expr fears about the contemplate \ 1937, hut the | 1882 found him an enthnsiastic adherent of state railw W Germany the Mancl nerally oppo fore they eame Frankfort G ter oppo was tate in found who ired pr railways, wi busine wre grat fied by the stability, impartiality, and publicity of railway ehar s deed, possible to observe a mark Gorman busing stimulate posed of those 1en, who were in called very e railways but the m men men in 1y been gement which ceived from a good ratlway It requires no prophet to fore a greatindustrial future for Germany wnd many eareful men expeet to see het outstrip England as an cconomie power I'iere 1s a return of eommerce to the old route through central Euvope since the Su oanal has been constructed, and there is prospect of a revival of the ancient ry of the German eities, and the state railways that the country now enjoys place her in a position to improve every opportunity for commereial and industrial greatness. Kven this same Frankfort Gazette, which, as one can imagine, does not represent the German, possibly’ still loss the Prussian govern: ment in too favornble a light, acknowl edges that the financial success of the state railways has suppassed the antici pations of the government Our country is in many respects better fitted to receive the full fruits of the beneticent ehange from private to state railways than is Germany. We need im provement in administration, but this will surely come; in fact is alroady com- ing. W we want is a democeratic ad ministration, not n despotic administra tion like the present. This is a point too little undorstood, though it ought not to be necessary to (nlarge on it now, afte the excellent work our eiwil servie formers have been dommg.
