THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY IE RAILROADS AND STOCK ME | Address of John 8. Knox to the Btock | Growers Convention, FAVORS THE LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND At the stock growers convention recontly held in Omaha Mr. John S. Knox, trafiic manager for the Cudahy Packing company, responded to the toast, “The Railroads.” The address was received with much favor and its publication hac been requested, Mr. Knox suid: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen—We 1 a time of strange and peculiar customs, In former we sent to our national and state legislative bodies those versed in the arts of law and lawmaking, while now we elect our furmers and merchants, and in this oodly state of Nebraska and county of Jouglas a live stock, or rather stock yards man has been thought worthy to wear the senatorial mantle. Again, it was once prac when reforms in commercial mechods were thought necessary, to_entrust the carrying out of the néw plans to merchants; now, as in the case of the interstate commerce law, framed and in tended solely to foster tho business of the nation, we appoint_only lawyers on the commission instead of experienced merchants and experts in transportation. It is, the fore, not str o, with such illustrious e amples before them, that the committee to whom I owe the honor of being permitted to speak in this presence should » selected a plain, every day, packing man to talk upon the subject of \ds. Fortunately for me, are but fow railway ofti wind of Yyoice $o th make rega ing railr affairs will porhaps pass un- noticed. Judging, howe by the history of current e nu as '.lu‘ day and year af humblest citizen or nh 0 as much 1 l(nm\'ludu(-n[ rai : as the so-called experts who abound on all sides. I observe, Mr. Chairman, that the commit- tee on toasts hasa d to me the whole railroad question subject is too big to swallow and digest at meal or in the time usually allot to an after dinner talk, and I therefore in & quandary to know what to say and what to leave unsaid. I might plur into the realm of statistics and show how in a little more than half a century the railway m of the United States ha antic strides spread from a few isolated dely scattered streaks of rust to m of 170,000 miles of steel high- ) sing every state and territory how in their onwar h they have pierced the mountains, penotrated the al- most impenetratable forests, bridged yawn- ing chasms and surging streams, crossin; desolat nd arid plains: how they been pathfinders and h for millions of the sturdy sons Americ ed the means of m the d i blossou OS¢ fruitfulness. 1 might recount to you the enormous sums of money expended to accomplish these results show that, great as isour banking capital, the cost of our railways has been ten times as much as the capital of all our banks com- bined, thus making the railroads, « whole, unquestionably the greatest of our financial and business titutions. It would not be Lyou of the great army of 1,000 in of king the eurnings mo 500,000 of people, or about one- mghlunlh of our entire popula- tion. But, Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, these facts are perhaps already known to you, and being general in character are not as nea to our hearts as those touching upon our \ilroads as patrons and rhe vital questions ar First, at portion of our present prosperity do we owe to_our second, how much of their developm due to stock industey; third, what steps are best for the future up- building of both. In answer to the firstTwould say that your organization and the existence of the gleantic stock yards and packing houses of today would have been impossible withovt our railroads, But for them the live stock industry would still have been in its in- fancy and controlled by the drovers, who in olden times moved their herds and droves and flocks on foot, supplying the veeds of market after market as they reached them in turn by these slow process: If our railways were notalive toour in- terests would it b plish what is now a daily ¢ packing center on the Missou any given Friday a fat steer w fully feeding on his native sod ern portion of Nebraska or Kansas, afternoon he is rounded up and loaded on a fast stock train. Saturday morning he is on the market and soid. That same day he s converted into dressed beef and hung up to cool. Monday noon he starts eastward in o palace refrigerator car, rushed fo rd with almost passeng i d, reaching New York or Boston Saturday morning in time to furnish fancy roasts, steaks and other cuts for tho Sunday tables of our eastern epicures. Only a trifle more than a week from a live steer on a western farm to the stomachs of the castern wise men, hoping to restore the waste of brain and nerve tissuo caused by the fast life and m‘h.fll excitement indulged in by them. ly a wonderful transformation worthy of an Aladdin's lamp or a modern lightning ange artist, and all of this due to our rail- roads and their able managements. Mr. Chairman, if we are thus under tions to our railways for making t business we represent here L turn owe an almost equal y, brainy and plucky men who have ped ' the opportunities pre- sented and against tremendous obstacles have developed the live stock and kindred businesses to th present high position in the nation’s’ commerce. I have ever held that the natural relatioas be- tween carrier and shipper are so blended and interwoven that you cannot strike a blow at one without injurinie both, no more than I can cut off an arm [ without having my whol ve a cruel and px ) The conservative managers would generally adopt polic hich would con- serve and build up their patrons if left un- trammeled and free from adverse legisla- tion. I do not hesitate to declare m, conviction thut an advanced step in affairs would be taken if the restrictive rail- road laws upon our state and national statute books were annulled, provided these and unsatisfactory institutions known as railroad associations were also put to death at the me time. We would by these means place the relations of carrier and shipper upon the same basis as all other factors of commere You, as owners of live stock are to sell at the highest price obta as packers of live stock can buy hogs, and sheep as ¢! lll'.l]!l? as we may and sell the product as high as the buyc ill stand. In & word, we can both handle without a hind- rance every transaction which goes to make up the final cost of a product to the con- sunjer, save only the one item of charges. Is this right? Your judgment will certainly say with mine, no. Hvery scheme which the ingenuity of man has been able to conceive for the solution of the railroad problem has been tried durin the t twenty 3 s and all have failed. Why! Because they have attempted *to stifle the great natural law of competition, and nothing ever permaneatly succeeds un- less in harmony with the great fundamental laws of nature. Mr, Chairman, I have already trespassed 100 long upon your time and patience and will now close with this thought, embodying the same idea of harmony which I have ad- vocated in my ||n'\m\|s remarks. 1 hold in my hand a glass of pure water, the beverage prepared by God himself to nourish and in- vigorate His creatures and beautify His foot- stool. As thus we sco these separate and countless drops unite and blend in one so may tho difforences between carrier and shipper melt away and both hereafter unite in harmonious effort to bring about a speedy consummation of the great destiny which the Almighty has ewidently intended for this our common country. st L Governor Pishback of Arkansas has issued a call for a convention of all the governors of southern states, L0 be held iu Richmond, nee atevery river?

EVENTS WHICH MARK OMAHA'S GROWTH Another Special Traln for D. M. Co. Stoole & Came Across the Continent by ght Stages—Its Tinpor- tance to This Cit The growing importance of this city in the commercial world was conspicuonsly brought to notice by the receipt of a full train of cars Iriday ovening by the wholesale groc firm of D. M. Steele & Co. from San Fr This train was remarkable for three special reasons. It was the largest shipment of any kind of goods ever received by any one firm in Omaha. It was the largest shipment of canned froits ever made one firm in the United States, and it was the ‘gost train ever hauled by the Union raiivoad. There were twen in the train and it had to be in three sections a portion of the nee. he wholo run train of twenty-four cars ntained nothing but canned fruits, being 8,000 cases of twenty-four cans each, or about 200,000 cans of fruit all of one brand_and from one factory.

The canning operation is said to be a marvel of mechanical ingenuity. With- out exageration it may be said that tin plate is fed to a machine, which turns out tin cans right at the elbow of the operators, who fill them with the fresh fruits and send themon to the comple- tion of the process with scarcely a sec- ond’s delay. Where a factory has the guarantee of such an outlet as this one has, there is every incentive to the maintaining of a standard of excellence that will insure popular favor among the consume Among the luscious fruits received in this special train were awford, lemon cling and white 1 Bartlett pears, apricot white and black cherries, green gages, gold drops, damsons, straw blackberries, raspberries, goose- nectarines, currants, prunes, quinces, ete., ete.
