THE remarkable debate in the Brit

TUB right of the national and state
governments to regulate the railroads
la fully eatablished by the decision of
the supreme court of the United
States and fully sustains tha position
taken by Judge Black in his recent
letter. From the tenor of the reply

had not read the above named deci

western boards of commissioners have
not heard of this decision , although it

firmed the action of the tax commis
sioner * in subjecting the premium ing

THE DEBT STATEMENT.
The monthly statement of the pub"J"
he debt for January shows a decrease
or the month of $7,382,167.71.
"ourteen years ago the national debt
f the United States amounted to the
normoi-s sum of $2,750,000,000 , the
nnual interest charge of which was
150,000,000. On the 1st of February ,
831 , the debt statement showed total
ndobtednefs of $1,832,218,832.29 ,
nd an annual interest charge of only
73,000,000. During the aame period
ho government haa steadily reduced
axationboth iu rates and range , while
t the same time the nation'a capacity
o pay taxes 1ms increased over thirty-
it per cent.
This i a remarkable record , and
nuy challenge the admiration of the
world and the commendation of for-
li ii financiers. Our government ,
rhich In 1860 was iorced to pay 6 per
cei . interest on thor bonds , now find j
> irchaiers of a four per cent , bond
wuo are ready and willing to pay a
icivy premium for so secure an in-
vestment. Six hundred and odd millions -
lions of bondt , basring interest at 5
and G par cent. , can now bo taken np
by the treasury department and re
funded at 3 or 3J per cent. , thus
effecting an annual saving sf about
$12,000.000 in interest and placing
our nat ! nal credit ou a par with that
of the best in the world. Such an
outlook la most plowing for all Ame
ricans , but Secretary Sherman in a
reoeut speech at Boston takes a atill
more encouraging view cf the national
finances and estimates tl.at in ten
years time tha debt may be reduced to
$1,000,000by the application of surplus
revenue to its gradual extinguishment
of tholj principal. This would re-
qulro the payment of § 900,000,000 in
tea years or an average reduction rf f
$90,000,000 a year. This s u c-n
easily be obtained through the reducc
tion of interest on the five and six ptr
cent , bonds , the increase of revenue
from the growth of the country and 1
from the improved condition of our
finances and business.
TUE crndeness of tha granger's no
tions of political economy , is veiy
much like those of the man who
killed the goose that laid the golden
eggs. In strangling the railroads they
are saro to choke themselves.
[ Herald.
The Herald's ideaa of political econ
omy differ widely from those of the
Nebraska farmers because they were
lea-nsd in a different school. The
"Herald's" views on the railroad ques
tion have been crystallzed by bank
chocks and focnssed through job print
ing contracts. They naturally loan in
an opposite direction from thopo of
the farmers which have been moulded"
In the press of extortionate charges and
developed from reflection upon the
outrageous discriminations and oppres
sions which they have suffered at the
hands of the monopolies. If they are
crude , tLey have , at least the merit
of being honest and unpurchaaed.
The Herald , in company with other
monopoly sheets throughout the couu-
ixy , is trying to spread the Impression
that the farmers of the west are unit
ing in a raid cfT irporato capital ,
whose object ia ti > Draper the efibctiva
operation of tne railway lines , and
the outcome of whljjj will undonbt-
olly be to check further railroad ex
tension and prevent tha development
of the state. Such gross mist.ito
merits of tbo position of the anti-
monopolists should not be permitted
to go unchallenged. The people of
Nebraska demtnd only what has been
demanded , and partially secured , in
other sections of the country They
insist that railroad corporations shall
bo snbjoct to the lawa under which th'-y
ware created and operate. They de
mand that as common carriers each
and every shipper , merchant and 1
farmer shall receive just , undiscrimin-
atiDg , and fair treatment at their
bauds. They further expect and in
sist that only reasonable tariffs , both
for passenger and freight transporta
tion , ehall ba exacted from the people ,
and that the labor of the country , the
sole prodncett > f wealth , shall not be
taxed to the verga of extinction in ord
to fill the coffers of the railroad 1
kings , and to pay inflated dividends
watered capital. The "grangers'
Insist tha ' railroad goose shall con *
fine herselt i . hatching her own rgga ,
without monopolising the noata of
every other bird in the country. !
They demand that having ob (
tained their franchises from
tbo people they shall not bo
blinded ta every Interest , but that of cf
their own bank account and that hav
obtained the power to ruin or
build np communities at pleasure they
shall not be permitted to exercise that in
power for purposes of gain or revenge
unchecked by the higher will 1
the people of the coun-
. Finally the "granger" is deter
mined that the people and not the
railroads shall rule this nation. They If
using all their efforts to prevent
usurpation of the government of
republic by a coterlo of millionaire
monopoly kings who bribe legislatures ,
elect senators for their personal ends
throw their gold in the houses of the
congrets to balk all attempts for
relief of the country from their iron
rale. The '
gracgers are 'not trying to
the railroad gooae , but they are at a
tempting , and we believe succea : fully , the
make the goose understated which the
master and which is goose. Dr.
Miller , as usual , takes the part of the like

The report cf the Illinois railroad ty
commissioners , just mide , impans ad with
ditional interest to the proposition in
Illinois legislature to derive all can
state revenues from this class of of
corporations the railways , the tele- other
and the express companies. local
The-proportion is that "these shall pay
the state treasury three
per cent ,
their gressarnings , and it ia esti nating
that the
aggregate
amount the
eatufy all the wants rf the state Post
itoyernment , leaving the people free will
state taxes. The railroad to
shows that the
estimate ia
cor like
reot. The gross earnings of the fifty
railroad companies in Illinois last
year were $140,849,675.Three per
cent , on thia sum would be $4,222-
000 a year. The late auditor's report
ghowa that the total cost of the state
government for two years was § 0,184-
000 , or a little over $3,000,000 a year.
The proposed tax on the railroads
alone , therefore , wonld famish more
than tha amount if revenue the state
requires. If tha objeot of the hill is
merely to secure enough revenue for
tha wants of the state , the telegraph
and express companies may be ex-
clnded and the whole amount collected -
ed from the railroads.

The Tendency to Monopoly.
New _ Voik Times. . .
The consolidation of telegraph com-
peuies and the constant tendency to a
combination of railroad linea into great
systems under a dingle control illus
trate a general movement in commer
cial affairs which cannot be regarded
without a certain degree of apprehen
sion. The power of great capitalists
is not displayed alone iu tha use made
of corporate franchises. It shows It
self In cenoral trade , and especially in
dealing with the great staples of the
country , which constitute the bulk of
our . exports. Combinations are con
tinually made for the control of the
market | In auch products a wheat and
ootton and to force prices out of their
legitimate course. The great operators
tor are engaged not aiuiply in
using the resources at their
command for doing business
on a latger scale than others , but in
endeavoring to create a virtual mon-
ope
chasers to pay such prices aa they may
establish. So long u * they cannot
absolutely sweep the field there will
bo a certain line toward which prices
continually tend undorthe influence
of the natural laws of trade , but
there ia a considerable margin on
cither aide over which they can bo
forced. The exact price to bo paid
for cotton by a New England mill
when it ia wanted for consumption
does not depend ao much on the
relation if supply to demand as on
the < figure which the powerful specu
lators nro able to fix for the time being
for their own profit Their advan
tage would be suiliclontly great if they
were engaged in the legitimate busi
ness cf buying and selling at natural
market rates , but when they buy
enormously on uiargins and give or-
dora for the purpose of putting iho
supply under an embargo , they com
pel others to pay a price which ia de
termined by no principle upon which
definite calculations can be baae'd.
If the socialistic spirit should be
come ' widely developed in this coun
try , it will not bo due so much to the
fact thnt capital has a tendency to in-
crcasa in the hands of those who em
ploy it and to build up laige fortunes
aa to the manner in which it is ueet
to crush competition and to drawn tax
from the trade and industry of th
people for the enrichment of those who
unite their forces to extort profits foi
themselves which are not the l > gti !
mate increment of capital. An nrbl
trary increase of the rates for trans
portdtion or of the tolls of sending
telegraphic messsges by a small frac
tion may result in levying a tribute
on the industries and trade of the pee
pie amounting to many mil
lions in the nggscgate. The same
is true of a factitious rais
ing of the price of a great commodity
by forcing the market by means o
combinations to control the supply
The many aufib" , the opportunities o
small tradesmen are cramped and the
faw grow enormously rich. It woulc
bo difficult to devise means to fore
stall speculation , but thcro are other ;
that can easily bo brought under restrictions
strictions , which would at least Cartai
their power for evil. The methods
by which those who manage great cor
porations secure inordinate gains for
themselves at the expense of the pub
He are tolerably familiar. The divi
dends whloh are paid are no menu
ure of the income from capital actu
ally invested. Charges are kept al
a figure whichjshows a fair return en
the nominal amount of stock , but it is
well known that in many cases the
fltcok haa been expanded for the very
purpose of concealing an illegitimate
income in an apparently moderate
dividend. Tne dividend is paid noi
mo.'oly on stock that represents actna"
outlay , but on that which represents
nothing but a process of dilution.
Almost every consolidation and
blnruion is attended by thia process ,
and if to managed that a large rart
of the Incrcaoo of stock remains in
the hands of those who manage
the operation. A largo share oi
some of tbo great fortunes which arc
used in controlling business in
some of its brauchoa haa been made
in thia way. It has been drawn from
the ' resources of the people directly to
the pockets of men who have given no
equivalent for it.
, On many of the transportation lines
of . thia country ratea are charged which
yield a moderate dividend on inflated
capital , but which represent an enor
mous profit on actual outlay. A limit
ation of the dividend s no remedy for
the evil , ao long as stock watering iu
any form , and under any guise , Is per
mitted , legislation in one ptate is
not wholly eliectivoao locgaa another
can be resorted to for a franchise
under which the operation la possible.
It ought to bo headed off in every direc-
So it is with discriminations in charg
ing far like service and other abuses of
corporate privileges whereby the tend'
ency to a monopoly of control ia in
creased. The remedy for the evil , in A a
order to bo entirely effective , must M
proceed from an authority as wide in
its jurisdiction as the field in which SOLD
the operations to be regulated are car
ried on. With our composite govern
ment it is necessary that legislation
should correspond with its character.
Regulation within states must proceed
from state authority , and where the
interest to be regulated Is not limited
by the boundaries of a single state ,
nothing but national authority can corn
effectually reach it. The federation
railroads can be subjected to law
only by federal authority.
That there is ono state in the Union
whore the 'elegraph consolidation can
not teko place , is a declaration with
which The Harrlaburg Patriot and The to to
Lancaster Intelligences lead ofi. The
constitution of Pennsylvania says that
"no telegraph company shall consoli
date with or hold a controlling Inter
in the stocks or bonds of any other
telegraph company owning a coinpet
line , or acquire , by purchase or
otherwise , any other competing line of
telegraph. " The American Union
came into existence aince this consti
tution was adopted , and , so far aa it ia
concerned , neither it nor its successor
corporation can put in the thread-bare
exploded plea of vested rights , as
against the commonwealth.
