THE corrected statement of railway
construction for the pist year shows a
total mileage of 8401 miles , which is
thirty-five miles more than the great
est mileage ever constructed in any
one year. The total mlwav roileaee
in the United States is new 93,897 71

4 Dakota , 738 ; Texas , 696 ; New
Mexico 556 ; Ohio,481 ; Iowa,436. The

the present time are : Illinois , 7,915 ;
Pennsylvania , 6,231 ; New York , 6,065 ;

THE plea of the Republican in favor
cf the right of railroads to crry and

AMERICAN WORKINGMEN
Kb nation can boast of BO intelligent
and of no thoroughly informed a
of mechanics and laboringpien as our
own. From Tooqueville down to
George Holyoake , every European
traveller to onr shores , who has m&de
the various conditions of American
society a study , has praised without
atmt our working classes and pro
fessed themselves amazed at the ad
vance which they exhibit In stability , J
sobriety and refinement over those of '
other oountriesand especially England.
And our country has evety
reason to be proud of a class which
haa for years held in their hands the
balance of political power , and which
haa nevar proved recreant to their
trust. It ii a remarkable fact that
every great reform which has agitated
American policies has f jund most' '
stalwart champions in the working
classes , and in every great political
crisis which has threatened tbe
stability of this nation , its workingman -
man hve never been appeilod to in
Tin.
Tin.A
A number of reasons com
bine in giving to our work-
in : ; vmen their present proud pre-
emiaence. The first ii , the constant
incentive to better their condition.
which is afforded bj our republican I
form of government , a universal fran
chise and an easy ascent from
one grade of society to the other.
The American workingman is am
bitious. He has a perpetual stimulus
tojietseverance in the examples of the
present and the history of the past.
Numbers of the wealthiest , most influential -
fluential and respectable citizens of
our Rspablic , began life at the
bottom of the ladder , ea
laborers. The American working
man can never forget that Abraham
Lincoln was onca a Kentucky wood
choppsr , tint Peter Cooper laid the
foundation of his fortune as a work
man in a wagon shop , that Jamea G.
Fair began life as a day laborer ,
Cornelius Yanierbilt as a ferry boy ,
and James O'Brien as & drayman ,
while scores of men who now count
their wealth by the millions once
boasted of the title of an American
laborer. Tnis belief in the possibility
of self-madd men is one of the great
incentives to action in American
workingmen.
Another ciuie for the great'super
iority of American workmen over
those of other nations is ,
the educational advantages
which they enjoy. Our American
working men are a reading and thiuk-
ing class. They are constantly called .
upon to perform the highest duties nf
free citizanship to vote intelligently to
it on jar iff , to direct public opinion.
No nation in the world prints as nnny
pipers ai our own an3 a great portion
of their readers is found among Ame
rican vrorkingmen. As a natural con
sequence they are better informed up
on current topics than their fe'l > w
elsewhere and better able to se'zt upon
opportunities for theirsocial and finan
cial advancement.
It is a singular fact that
although cnmp-sed if BO many
nationalities tha American working
claaiea are the most thoroughly
American of ill our citiz-m. They
'
ire tha backbone of drimosri ic in-
s'itutions in the United Slices
Whether they hail from Gjrmaiy ,
Great Britain or. any o'her c mntry
uaderadifTjront f > rm of government ,
once an our soil they batorne the
most ardent advocates of daoiocracy
and the most determined opponents
of centralization. It is the same feel
ingin onr working class which mike *
them the bitter nppooents of a mon poly
ely of the industries and wealth of the
country , as well as
monopoly of power by a few
shrewd and grasping Individuals. In
the tjre t war sgiinst monopoly dom-
iaation u > on which this country is
entering , * he working classes will be
powerful agents It was a delegation
of workingmen whicV , in 1877 , paint
edly out to the directors of tha
Pennsylvania road that by their sys
tem of discrimination they had do *
stroyei the b'jsine > s of their beat cus
tomers , for the purpasa of buildirg up
indivldutl interest , and had I > st to
themielves , in one year , $3,500.000
"This amount , " said the address ,
would have enabled yon to pay us liv
ing wages , instead of seventy-five
cents a day. " Finally , American
workingmen are not communistic in thn
garbled sense of the term. They are
inclined to fair play among themselves
and they ask it for others. They be-1
lleve in a decent remuneration for
their libor and they generally sue-
oaed in getting it They ask no ex
tortionate wages and tliey do not pro.
pose to see the monopolies extort
them from the public. Ic is as milch
from a sense of jnetice as from a habit
of Informing themselves upon the is <
sun of the iay , tHat onr working
classes are BO thoroughly anti-monopo'
ly in tendency to-day. And it will
be found that they can neither ba
threatened nor bribed from their po-
rition.

THE ALLIANCE.
QUALIFICATIONS FOE JIEMBKBSHir.
SIB My attention has been called
to a communication in THE BEG , on
the subject of eligibility to membership
in the Alliance , signed by ' "Scribe. "
This is an imporlaut subject , and
comes under the attention of the
State AUimco very often in the for.
mat ion of subordinate Alliances.
Much solicitude was manifested at
the Lincoln meeting , lost man who
were not farmers should gtin a foot
ing in the Alliance- ; and that meeting
intended to , and supposed it had ,
adnped a law which would exclude all
who did not gain their livelihood by
farming , from becoming members.
The mere ownership of land , even
though it be improved and ieed dops
not create eligibility. If it did , bank-
rs , law > ers. land agents , middlemen ,
< nd particularly the l nd grant rail
road companies , would all be eligi
ble. But if a nun calns his
livelihood by farming either aa a
owner and worker of his own land , a
renter or a laborer , he is eligible.
Nearly all chvses of our paople was
directly engaged in the transportation
industry and as much interested In
the objects of the alliance as are the
farmers themselves. But the danger .
of the alliance beine rmda tha cat's |
paw of politicians , and being in local !
ties subjected as an appendpge of one
or the other party , rnsde it impera
tive to confine the membership to
"practical operative farmer * . " Onr
friends of all the other callings will.
anon have an ooportuulty to join the I
'Anti-Monopoly League , ' an organizi-
tion which will admit all classes as
member * ; and I trust they will avail
themselves of it , and these co-operate
heartily in furthering the ends of th $
alliance. Yours truly ,
J. BORROWS ,
Secretary State Alliance. |

The notions of Mr. L'Und Stanford
( president : of the Central PaciGo rail
way compnj ) concerning ! the railway
question fura'sh the counterpart to
the notions of Jercmiih S. Black. The
litter took tha extreme ground , In
one direction , thit rtlliray ate public
highways and public property , in
which the persons win "talk as if
they . owned them" have no right of
ownership at till. Tha former takes
the extreme ground in the opposite
direction , that railways are neither
public property , nor public highways ,
nor _ common carriers , but private
properties owned by "joint pvrtner-
ships of private individuals. " Upon
the theory of Black , the government
may deal with these "public proper
ties" exactly as it please ? , regardless
of any objections which the "pre
tended" private owners may set up.
Upon the theorj of Stanford , the as
eumpti * u by government of any ragu-
htiva power whatever over railways
or railway traffic is an unwarranted
exertion of pure despotism.

. Stanford s ys : Waat he uuderic
stands by "paternsl government" ap
pears to be any government which
interferes , in anyof the ways above
indicated , with individual or corporate
liberty in the pursuit of happiness ;
but more particularly in the pursuit of
happinees by the mode cslled "water
ing stocks" and the liberty of takinu
from other people's earnings ten ppr
cent , nrofiton the private "property"
created out of nothing by lisa * happy
procea . Stock-watering h simply a
method of inflation , nr , more strictly ,
of dilution , by which the name or
denomination of a commodity Is made
to express a lie. If the keeper of a-wet-
grocery adds to a barrel of whisky a
barrel of water , and advertises the
c impound as whisky , he utters a false
hood ; and if he pelt's the compound at
the prioa of whisky , he commits a
fraud and may be called a swindler.
If a railroad company , having an act
ual paid-in capital of one million doll -
l rs , Issues stock shares of the denom
ination in the aggregate of two mlllio' ' s
of dollar * , it also utters a falsehood ,
If it exict from its patrons rates made
for the purpose of giving to snob
shares a market value i qual to their
denomination , does it not also commit
a fraud , and may it not also be prop
erly called a swlndleit If an enter
prising person in another line of busi
ness take a silver coin , called a dollar.
&nd dilute ( t by adding an equal
bulk of pewter , and issue the com ,
pound . in two shares , or parts , each of
the denomination of one dollar , erin
in four shares , or parts , each of the
denomination of half a dollar , he
does exactly the same thing that the
wet grocer does and the railway com-
panv does when they water their
stocks and pursue methods to mnke
the diluted article sell at the prica of
a genuine article. In the last case
government Interferes , styles the
speculator ] in diluted goods a cheat ,
puts him in prison , and thus , Instead
of. : securing to him liberty in his pur
suits of happiness , puts a atop to his
pursuit of happiness by depriving him
of liberty. What right has govern
ment to do that ? The propeny'which
ht diluted was his own private proper
ty. ; Had he not a ri ° , ht to do with it
what he plensed ? "The essence of
property is control , " eaya Mr. Sanford -
ford , "and the value of property con
sists in profits derived. " For govern
ment to interfere with a man's control
over his own proptrty , and restrain
him , by imprisonment , from doubling
its i value by the profits h3 can get
from : it by the watering process , is not
only to override the Declaration of
Independence , but , from Mr. Stan
ford's point of observation , is to prac
tice paternalism , which never was in
tended. "There is
no justice in lim
iting earnings , " he says. Therefore ,
thera is no justice in sending to jail
the man who , if his liberty were not
thus arbitrarily restricted , would
make his private property , called a
dollar , earn him the value nf two dollars
lars by the easy process of pewterTg
it. ' It is the concern ef the compa
nies themselves , and nobody else's
business , whether their capital is in
creased or not. " By which declara
tion Mr Stanford means that it is no-
oody else's business whether their
capital is diluted by the watering pro
cess or not.
While the unblushing iffrontery
with which Air. Leland Stanford sets
up this extreme theory of corporate
Uwneasneis shows a boldness not out
> f keeping with the character of some
ton suddenly-made millionaires on the
Pacific coast , it also shows an obliquity
nf understanding among some wealth *
corporators which tends more than all
t'.er things to incite the public de
mand for governmental corrective
measure ! It is a fallacy , tf course ,
which this California plutocrat Eoems
ot to realize , that there is any such
thing , in law or in morjlitj , a * a right"
of contr 1 ovir private tr.iporty in its
.iutr which can ba txto'dpj to uoy
empli > yraei.t or use o'it injurious to
the rights or liberties of other

Tha wet-grocorh s no right to water
his whiaky with intent to sell a gallon
.if water at the price uf a gallon
of whisky. The owner , of A silver
r has no right to dilute it w th a
metal with intent to derive the
same profit on tbo sraro of pewter
th t he derives on the share of silver.
And the corporation haa no rinht tj
.rater its stock with intent to derive
urofit alike on its capital and on the
fiction with -rhich
it dilutes < ts cp-
i al. la the assertion of such a
right , the moral sense of
mankind recognizes a fraudulent
intent a purpoie to doinmit Injustice
and do injury to othera. Now , with
all possible respect for the declaration
of independence and the rather gush
ing patriots who fathered it , the true
object for which governments are in
stuuted is to execute jut doe , prevent
men from injuring OHO another , to
puuleh tho'e who do injury , or.as Sir.

whether they be railroad managers or
only common mortals. To fulflll tnis ,
its proper function , government must
lira t , audins > me degree-regulate , bv
l w , the employment of private
propony by its ownew , aa well as the
personal conduct of individuals. This
is what government has been doing
ever since property and political socie
ty came to exist. Mr. Stanford's de
nial of any right in government to do
this sounds like the defiant challenge
of the government and law of the land
by a railway company. D.'ea he
imagine that the American people will
hesitate to accept such a challenge ?
Or does he think that the Central
Pacific railway company can come out
victor in the contest such a challenge
invites ]
Coming from the president of that
particular company , tha impudence of
Mr. Stanford's deliverance is pecu
liarly marked. It is a corporation

is in this fact a bisis not found in the

Black's declaration that railways are

the railway over which Mr. Stanford
