The Asheboro Cornier PRICE ONE DOLLAR A YEAR Wm. C. HAMMER, Editor. VEntered at the Post Office at Asbebuio a 'ecoud Cits Matter. THE COST OF CARRYING THE MAILS. It ia said that the government pays the railroads $31.75 for carry ing a ton of mail from New York to Buffalo, while the Express Com pany charges only $12.50 for the same service. It further appears that the railroad mail car costs $6, 000, and the government pays for theirs an aanual rental of $5,447, out of which the loads subtracts $1, 200 for maintenance and repairs, leaving a net annual profit of $4, 247 on an investment of $6,000. Mr. Tawney, chairman of Appro priations, says theie are postal cars that have done service twenty-five years and earned $106,175 each though the aveiage life of such a car is only fifteen years with net earn ings of more than $70,000. These figures ought to give us a fint im pressioa of what government owner ship and operatiou would be." With the great railroad magnates lurking around che White House, it seems theie must be a panic amongst the financiers and that they have changed their tactics. It is appar ent that some kind of treaty of ppace is to be made with the Nation al Administration to try to assist the defeat of the two-cent passenger fare and other railroad legislation in so many States. A few years ago we heard a great deal the Presiident curbing the powers ofcorp"rate interests. It all simply ended in talk nothing was accomplished. Since then the States have shown the President that they could do something. The President started out by a declaration in favor of re forming the tariff; he wilted and side tracked on that question, and, no doubt, is doing the same on other lines. Mr. Thos. S. Ryan, one of the one of the great railroad magnates has fallen in Hue with some others, and 6ays "The railroads are really owned by tbe people and not by Wall Street brokers and the railroad men who operate the railroad should be in absolute control, and they should aid the President in a solution that will be fair and just to the country and to the corporation and insure strict obedience to the law." There has been a shifting about by some of the ra'lroad people, ami it is a strong position they take now com pared to the position they occupied a few years, or even a few months In the death of Thomas Baily Aldrich we are reminded of the fact that all authors are not poor men, because Mr. Aldrich was one of the richest men in the country and was talented and cultured writer. If he had been poorer he would no doubt have been a better writer. He will be held in highest esteem for having written "The Unguarded Gates," which is a strong protest against admitting the cast off scum of Europe to our shores and to the privilege of American citizenship.
