A USELESS ANTAGONISM. Socialism versus Christianity: Bv Kd-ward Kd-ward H. Mnrtman. Published by Cochrane Coch-rane Publishing Company, New York. In so far as this book may be sup- I posed to he oi any service lo the community, com-munity, that service is found in its attempt at-tempt lo place Socialism squarely in opposition to Christianity; and we believe be-lieve that few can be found who would bclievo that i his attempt to place tho two in antagonism could serve any useful use-ful purpose. And the whole community com-munity will agree that 711 so far as Socialism So-cialism is distinctly and positively placed in antagonism lo Christianity-, it would be all the worse for Socialism. The author of this book bewails his lack of literary ability. He need not have mentioned it. But a far greater objection lo his book is the lack of coliesiveness and connection throughout. through-out. His conclusions do not,, bv a'ny mcans, follow his premises, aiid his premises are often sadly out of the way. It is not a work in 'which anyone except those curious in the wanderings of an untrained mind could possibly find anything of interest or value. CANOE OUTINGS.

AN ILLUMINATING WORK. Railroad Freight Rates in Relation to the Industry and Commerce of the uniicu States. By Logan G. McPherson, Lecturer Lec-turer on TransporlHlion. Johns Hopkins Hop-kins University. Published by Jlenry Holt ,t Co., New York. This is a very important and compre hensive work, on me quc&inm ..inroad ..in-road freight rates nnd transportation in general. The author was incited to prepare it because of the evident ncr.d for a definite, accurate, and fairly comprehensive com-prehensive exposition of the eftcct ot tho freight rates of the railroad. upon ',he. industry and commerce ot the United Slates; and because in the general gen-eral discussion of this question, there appeared such lack of definite information informa-tion that, the conclusions reached wero by no means satisfactory. There were too many things that should come into tho settlement of the problems involved, in-volved, that for the lack of the necessary neces-sary informal ion could not bo brought into it. The need of more exact and definite information, therefore, was felt 011 all hands. The effort to supply this by the author resulted in the production produc-tion of this book; and 111 producing it, he has certainly covered to a satisfactory satisfac-tory degree the want, heretofore felt. the author explains his grasp ot the subject and the spirit with which he entered upon his work, in I ho following from the introduction: Throughout all industry and all coin- merce tho function of transportation is conspicuous. Products may be carried bv drav or wagon for short distances from the Held, or merchandise of various kinds to and from the factory, the warehouse ware-house or the retail store, and certain or the waterways take part in this func- Hon; bul the overwhelming preponderating prepon-derating transportation agency in th s countrv is the railroad. The railroads carrv raw material from farm and forest nnd mine to tne places m i-mn i-im .. .n. .. lo the places of preparatory process to tho places of intermediate process, to the places of final process. They carry products prod-ucts from these places of final process to tho warehouses In the great distributing distrib-uting renters, to the storehouses In the smaller cities and towns, to the shops of tho retail merchants, and. in no inconsiderable incon-siderable degree, to the homes wherein thev are used and consumed. Filtering thus into every process of every industry, and into every process of distribution, the transportation function affects every person who Is concerned either In the production or the consumption consump-tion of anv commodity of Industry, of any article of commerce. That is, it affects the entire population. The charge for transportation enters into the cost of prodmtlon of every article; the charge for transportation enters into the cost or distribution of every article. " A survey of the effect which tho charges for transportation have upon the various industries and tlio varied commerce com-merce of this country must, therefore. ln-eludo ln-eludo a studv of the extent to which they further or hinder the movement of tho materials and the products of industry: of the extent to which they advance or retard the progress of commerce. Those Immediately engaged In industry are the producers of raw materials the owners of and workers in the Holds, the forests nnd the mines, the owners of and workers work-ers In the factories and mills, those immediately im-mediately engaged in distribution are tho owners and salesmen of the mills and factories, the wholesale merchants and their employees, the retail mercnanls aim their employees. As every farmer and farmhand, directly or indirectly, consumes con-sumes the products of mill and factory, and every manufacturer and worker in mill and factory consumes the products of the farm, and so oyi throughout industry indus-try and commerce, every producer is a consumer and every consumer is a producer. pro-ducer. The workers in tho arts and the professions, while not engaged In mate rial prUMUOLluil, luiisuiiii; ""' I" UCtS. It Is also necessary lo consider tho effect ef-fect of tho transportation charge upon the maintenance of Hie railways and upon their capacity for extension and enlargement en-largement to meet the needs of the industry in-dustry and commerce of tlio future. Tho railroads must adequately perform their part as an integral factor in the material activities of life nation, and they must receive the consideration and the support sup-port whi -1 will enable them adequately to perform :uU part. As Hie first subject lo be considered is the relation which the railroads bear U the movement of commodities, there must bo a clear comprehension of that movement and the directions which it tukes. Promising that the subject receives herein the most, thorough and skillful treatment, we may refer to the chapter headings as the progressive steps through which the investigation proceeded, pro-ceeded, these being: "The Channels of Traffic." "The Preparation of Foodstuffs," Food-stuffs," "The Distribution of Foodstuffs." Food-stuffs." "The Distribution of Raw Material Ma-terial and Merchandise." "The Transportation Trans-portation Charge and Prices." "The Regional Rate Structures," "Commodity "Commodi-ty Rate Structures." "Early Tariffs and Classifications," " Harly Rivalries and the Beginning of Through Service." Serv-ice." "Incidental Developments of the Freight Service." "The Freight Traffic Traf-fic Department of Railroad Administration." Administra-tion." "The Basis for the Transporta tion Charge." "Public Sentiment and Legislation to 1SS7," "The Interpretation Interpre-tation of Ihe .Interstate Commerce Law," "Further Development in Public Pub-lic Sentiment and the Hepburn Bill." "The Influence of the Commission Toward To-ward Uniformity of Procedure," "Traffic Experts in the Fmplov of Shippers," "The. Commerce of the 1 Cities," "A Comparison of Ihe Railroad Rail-road with the Agricultural nnd Manufacturing Manu-facturing Industries," "The Progressive Progress-ive Achievement; of the Railroads." There can be no doubt of the immense im-mense amount of fruitful study that went into the preparation of this book;, neither can there be any question of tho expertness and skill exercised by the writer. Tt is a book abounding with information which is presented in a thorough, impartial, and businesslike manner. Tt is not a pro-railroad book; it is not an aril i-rnilroad book; but it io a. book designed lo give the facts and the true relation of the railroads to the community in an unbiased business-like business-like wav. And so. the contents of tho . - a. I. ...1.1.. I..! nook are uouuiy viuuauic, nouig now from all intent to oilher advocate or-decry or-decry either side of the great controversy. contro-versy.
