In 1830 there were but 23 miles of railway In operation In the United States; In 1850 the mileage had grown only to 9.021 miles. In 1870 there were 53,000 miles. In 1880 this had Increased to 93,250 miles, In 1889 to 163.500 miles, and In 1900 It had reached 193,500 miles. To-day, If second, third and fourth tracks and yards and sidings be Included, there are 300,000 miles of track. Competition between carriers by rail, which formerly prevailed and acted as a check or restraint against un­ reasonable rates, has been to a great extent suppressed and destroyed. About one hundred persons control the boards of directors of railroads whose commercial value exceed* Ik) per cent of the total, and whose earnings amount to 00 per cent o f the total gross earnings of the railways of the United States. In the short period of seven years the freight traffic has doubled, while the passenger traffic has Increased by about 75 per cent. How gigantic Is the business can be readily seen from the fact that an increase o f one mill per ton on the traffic o f last year would have produced $174.522,- 089.—Toledo Blade.
