THE RESPONSIBILITY.
During the last three "years of

changes in federal offices. V
Saunders asked for a change Padi

tempted to force an appointment
tasteful to Saundcrs the latter gc

This state of facts garo rise to a ,
deal of sham and Jiypocrisy. Altlu

STOCK -WATERING
The enormous inflation of corj
tioti stocks during the past t
yeara in causing well grounded a
among conservative financiers.
Now York Graphic , in an excoodi
able article on this aubjcct dec
that the railroad stocks now in
market , represent a cash invcsti
of from 30 to GO per cent , greater
they did a year ago , and in add
an immense amount of water has
added to old stocku , and an enor :
amount of stock has been issued
newly constructed roads.
The panic of1873 was largolj
result of excessive speculation in
road securities and of equally e
sivo expansion and watenng of c <
ration stocks. For four years afto
crash all Industrie * felt the offo
the blow , and it was not until
that the resumption of railroad I
ing marked a revival of intoro
speculative enterprises. At the
of that year the railroads of the
ted States had 70,070 , miles in o
lion. In 1878 2,400 miles of
road were constructed ; in
4,430 , and in 1880 7,150
additional were built
oquippod. At the close
1880 the aggregate mileage of rail
in the United States was 93CDfi
before the close of the present y
is estimated that this mileage wi
further increased to fully 10
miles. From January 1 , 1877 t
comber 1 , 1881 , the aggregate
tions to railroad constructio
this country will exceed 20,000
which will represent an actual
investment of 9000,000,000.
Statistics show that the hide
ness of the corporations has incr
in an alarming ratio during
period. In 1678 the c
stock , bonded debt and
debts of the railroads of
United States aggregated ? 4,800
000 , which , in 1880 , had boei
creased to § 4,910,387,000. Bj
close of the present year it is
mated that the gross total indt
ness of American railroads wil
fall short of $5,900,000,000.
Upon this enormous debt the
ness and producing classes o
country are compelled to pay In
and dividends by grossly oxorbi
transportation charges. While
government borrows money
pnys interest at the rote
3J per cent. , while cities and t <
float their bonds at 4 per cent ,
while money loans at call , in fina :
centers at 2pcrcont , the people o
United States are taxed to pay ii
cats on debts nnd dividends on st
averaging eight per cent , of the
which ia two or three times the v
of the money represented by the
of the stock and bonds.
Tina enormous amount of deb
largely a fraud reprcsor
only in a slight degree ,
honest investment of capital ,
capital stock is Hooded with water
bonded debt represents the stcalin
numerous construction rings , v
stock dividends are used to incr
still further the unlawful gains of
managers and plunder the pcopl
additional sums to pay interest on
fictitious capital ,
Some figures recently publii
show the progress of this nlarmini
flation of stocks.
The Missouri Pacific Railroad

up entire for $29,370,000 in 1
now it would take $00,742,000 to
the outstanding stock. New Jo

Commenting on these figures in
sx haustivo article , The Chic
Tribune pertinently asks :
How long will the country Bub

n existence can bo duplicated a'

; ho country submit to bo taxed to
lividends and interest on n stock

pori.y , taken as a wh

gambling , which is mudo a succca

Congress will have to cheese bet :

contend that the legislative pi
may rightfully regulate railway
warehouse charges. It combat )
strong but respectful terms the
trine maintained by the aupi

called Granger casea. Mr. C
shrinks from the conclusion to w

there is no power in the legislatui

charters and consequently that
may charge whatever rates

by public authority , or practically

Wo agree with Mr. Curtis that
