1UILKOAD MONOPOLIES.
On taking the chair General Divon
delivered a very valuable address.
Mr. Thomas V , Carter , of Jersey
City , gave a startling exhibit of the
railroad monopoly in his ( .Into ,
Mr. Josiah J. White , of the Now
York produce exchange , gave a his
tory of railroads , showing a total cap
italization of $0,000,000,000 atprcsont.
< 3rcafc good , ho said , had been dchio
"by railroads , but , thcir management
should bo guarded against abuse ? .
Free canals uro necessary to retain the
supremacy of the pori of Now York ,
and , to rogulata transportation rates ,
railroads should bo compelled to compote
pete for business as merchants uro.
The following address and platform
was adopted ;
To the people of the state of Now
York : Within the last half century
now and important forces have made
theniaclves felt in all departments of
production and commerce and also in
the political world. Controlled and
directed in tlio interest of ( he whole
people , steam , electricity , machinery
nnd corporate life are the most bone-
ficiont forces of the ago , but like lire ,
if permitted to bccomo our masters ,
the evil is proportionate , The wise
men who dratted our constitution
could not foresee thosu enormous
changes or they would have guarded
against attendant evils , which have
come upon us so suddenly that legis
lation for the public interest has lagged -
god behind , while the compact force of
corporate organization has shaped our
laws in the interest of the few at the
expense of the many , so loose has
boon the legtalation of the past fifty
years rcgardnig the grunting of char
ters and coporato privileges that cor
porations have acquired undue promt
nonce and power , and in order to pur
potuato abuses which have grown up
our legislation is corrupted and our
politics debased by the use of money
to an extent which thrcateilti the per
manency of our free institutions.
Honest and independent candidates
for legislative oflibes are now of ten de
feated by leas woithy candidates who
are backed by the money of great cor
porations. In consequence the best
men in the community are deterred
from entering political life. This re
sults not only in the publio interest
being made subsorvant to private
corporations , but it lowers the quali
ty of legislation , lor legislators who
are venal in ono direction are usually
BO in others. When charters to construct -
struct railroads were first granted by
the people it was with the understand
ing that ull advantages beyond ten
per cent upon the actual capital in
vested were to accrue to the public ,
and as the promoters of these enter
prises usually had other interests to
which bonofitted largely "by the Inven
tion of steam roads , their construc
tion proceeded very rapidly , Not is
satisfied , however , with all these ad
vantages , and in order to absorb the
benefits resulting from the now inven
tions and improvements whiph tended
to greatly reduce the coat of steam
transportation , they created fictitious
values for these roada and maintained
rates high enough to nay dividends
upon these inflated values and thus
cheated the publio out of a largo portion
tion of the benefits of these improved
highways. The result lias been to
fiuddonfy accumulate enormous wealth
for the managers of these roads.
HOW A MONOPOLY IS CKEATEP.
As an illustration of this , in 1807
andlSGS $47,000,000 of watered stock
were added to the capital of the New
York Central and Hudson lUvor rail
road , upon which regular eight per
cent dividends 1ms since been paid ,
and these dividends , with the interest
thereon , compounded annually for thir
teen years , now amount to over $75-
000,000 , while the stock itself is
quoted in the market at $140 to $100 In
per sharp. In other words , if , instead
of watering the stock of these roada
in 1607 and 1808 , the rates for trans
portation had been reduced to a point of
which would have yielded eight per
cent net upon the outstanding capital ,
the public would , at the present time / ,
have been $75,000,0 $ ) belter off , and
S 17,000,000 of stool ? ! whichfcostjbnly
the paper amUiuk with which it'nai
printed , would not now lib in ex
istence and form a pretext for further
taxing the industry and commerce of
this state for all time to come. This
is but a single illustration. There are
many others equally flagrant ; but this
will serve to illustrate how the pijblic
wealth is.cpticcntrated in n few hands
by a system of taxation , under the
Ijuiso of tolls or charges for transpor
tation , compared with nhich'tho toll1
exacted by the robber barons of the
feudal ages wcro potty. Mid botwccr
the justice of which it is hard to dis
tinguish. In the ono case there are ,
to bo sure , forms of law ; but they are
forms only and have been enacted to
suit the wishes of our modern hnrons
bf the rail. Each year § 3,700,000are
bxtortcd from the public to moot the
dividends Upon the above mentioned
817,000,000 , of fictitious stock , the
issue of which was lc&alicd by a leg
islaturo nominally elected by the i > uo
pie but in reality by the money of the
corporations that thus purchased t
privilege to fax the public. Eacl ;
year shows some now encroachment of
a similar character upon the people's
rights , sometimes in one form , somo-
limes in another , the methods of cor
poration finance constantly varying ,
but nil resulting in undue cost to tlio
public of what has bccomo a public
necessity , Such publio abuses as
tlosq | heretofore mentioned have been
exaggerated by discriminations against
b&th individual citizens and commu
nities. From time immemorial the
principle' the equality , of citi
zqris on tlto highway hasbeen , rccog
nixed as eminently just and necessary.
The state Is the naulral and solo owner
of Ihp public highways The vote
of oncj citizen in conferring charter
to construct aiidbpora'toa railroad was
as potent as another ! and , therefore ,
tljo element of d citizdn'r right on the
high way tshodld limit in como degree
llto operation of the > law of wholesale
arid retail , which is unlimited in pri
vate business ; and no discrimination
other than that based upon the cost of
service should bo permitted. This
light has boon entirely disregarded by
the managers of our railroads , Fa
vored shippers have been given rates
which builb up their business at the
expense of tlioir neighbors , ' and in
oila instance at loastour railroads have
so far forgotten their duty as common
carriers as to sign a written contract
to protect ono snipper againsttho com
potion of other shippers. The pro
duccrs of this state are charged far
moro , proportionately , than the pro
ducers of other states. Communities
tire discriminated against and discrim
ination against the state is freely prac
tised by the railroads refusing to carry
for a shipper who patronizes the canals
at the same rate they carry for others
who do not , thus forcibly diverting
business from the canals which would
othcrwiso.seok that channel during the
season of navigation. These magnifi
cent highways have been crippled and
dwarfed by railroad influence in our
legislature , while money has bobu
squandered on enterprises like the
now capitol , and one-tenth of the
amount which the public have been
obliged to pay in the shape of tribute
tq the watered stock of the railroads
\\-ould have enlarged the canals and
made them free. Those charges were
for several years troely made , and as
freely denied. An investigation was
for a time defeated by the railroads ,
but was finally secured. An able leg
islative committee , Mr. A. B. Hop-
burn , chairman , devoted several
months to an investigation. The report - ,
port of the committee was an official
detailed statement of tlio evils which
exist and it is unnecessary to detail
them hero. It accompanied its report
with a series of bills designed to
remedy the evils complained Of. Those
\yero passed by the assembly , but
when they reached the senate it was
found that the railroads possessed amore
moro absolute vote power than that
exercised by the governor of the slate.
A constitutional majority can pass a
bill over the vote of the governor , but
there was no possibility of securing a
constitutional majority to pass a bill
over the veto of the railroad power ,
aim the most important of the bills
were defeated. It had scoured the
nomination , purchased the election or
otherwise controlled the majority of
the upper house , and the people were
powerless. Tlio result was that bills
eminently reasonable , just ruul neces
sary were Hlaughtor6d.
HAILHOA1W AND LEGISLATION , ,
The Senate completed its bad record
ord by emasculating the corporation
tax bill ; by defeating the bill to prevent
vent the great telegraph consolidation
through whiph n burden of $15,000-
000 additional watered stock was
fastened on the uubhc ; by persistent
hostility to the canals and by seeking
to place in the United States Senate
representatives of the railroad power.
The conferences would fail in its duty
to the people if it did not place be
fore them the names of the Senators
who thus betrayed the publio inter
ests , and indicate in some degree the
methods by which the railroads con
trol legislation. It has become a reg
ular practice for railroad corporations
send Bomo of their own men to the
legislature to further their interests.
Biniator Wagner , of palace car fame ,
a typo of this class. Through rail-
load influences ho has boon regularly
placed ( it the head of the Sonata com
mittee un railroads , the committee a
constituted to suit his pleasure , and
all measures looking to holding these
corporations to proper responsibility
to the publio haye had to run the
gauntlet of this packed jury presided
over by n judge who had a pecuniary
interest in the adverse decision of the to
case. Another class of Senators who
are oven moro useful to the railroads
arc prominent members of the legal
profession , many ol whom are regu
larly retained in all paiis of the state ,
and "OHIO thus employed are regularly
elected to the legislature by the rail
roads. Senators Robertson , Jacobs ,
Woodin , Sessions and Fowler are
types of this class. This class work
moro secretly , profess to bo friendly ,
assure you they will do all they can
for the nieasuro whore the public
interest is involved , but secretly oiii
dcavor to stiilo it in committee or
ptovont it from overcoming to a vote.
case they are not successful in this
they cither vote against it or are
absent when the vote is taken. In
some instances , whore they aio sure
enough adverse votes to defeat u
measure which they know their con
stituents favor , they will oven vote
aye , although had they been told by
the railroad managers that their vote
Fwas wanted they would have been 1C
corded on the other side.
INTF.UESIMl LKtiIHLATOIlS.
Another and moro numerous clais
are the contractors , merchants or
manufacturers interested in various
enterprises v Inch the railroads can
greatly assist by awarding contracts
or by giving favorable rates on freight ,
and this power is Jrecly used. Of
this typo Senators McCarthy , Stevens ,
ilalbert , Madden , Drainan , Jloekweli
and others are examples. Another
class cahnot thus bo controlled , but
having friendly personal relation with
the railroad representatives , who are
always most agreeable men , they are
influenced by them , and unless the
issue is sharply defined by their im
mediate constituents they vote with
the railroads and against the public
interest. This class is closely culti
vated by the railroad representatives.
Free passes and other courtesies are
showered upon them , situations which
in many cases are sinecures are given
to friends and constituents , and in not
a few instances tlioir votes were con
trolled as absolutely as those of class
three. Scattered between the above
classes is a no inconsiderable clement
ot absolutely venal legislators who are
not ashamed to associate with lobby
ists and to do their bidding. When
public Kontimcnt looka upon buying an
election as a crime and professional
lobbyists , like A. D. Barber and
Edwards , who , together with Senator
Sessions , are now under indictment
for bribery during the late senatorial
contest , are regarded as social pariahs ,
to bo avoided by all decent citizens it
is probable that fewer senators ( like
Mr. Sessions will bo seen at Albany ,
and representatives like Messrs ,
Ilustod and Alvord will qcaso iffbe
leaders in the assembly. Tlio sanie
principles apply and the same tac'tica
are employed in the assembly ad in
the senate , but the latter is much the
smaller body. The nembor are
elected for two years instead of ono ,
aa in the assembly , and it is , consequently
quently , moro easily and cheaply con
trolled by tlio corporations. For the
information of the , public wo recapitu
late'the names of those members of
tlio late senate wlm wore usually found
voting With the corporations and
aaaihst the public interest : Senators
' \yagtior , Nvoodin , Robertson , Sessions <
sions , McCarthy , Hog'an , Soobachor ,
Eldman , Jacobs , Birdsall , Fowler ,
MaddetvRockwoll , Baker , Broman ,
Halbort , Lbomis , Wondovcr and Mills.
It will bo noticed that in this list ap
pear the leaders in the senate of both
political parties. 'Lot ' us see what the
platforms of thcao respective parties
have to eay repardinj ; this question.
In the democratic platform , adopted
at Syracuse , wo find the following :
"The pcoplo of Now York , farm
ers , manufacturers and merchants
alike demand that they shall have all
the advantages which accrup to them
from their favorable position , and
that the railroads they have chartered
and endorsed with privileges shall bo
operated for their benefit and not for
their ruin. Wo thcrcfoio endorse as
our expression the foregoing princi
ples :
That railroads bo prohibited by law
from unjust di&urimmations and from
favoring localities and individuals.
The public discontent regarding
this question was recognized in the
Saratoga platform of the republican
party , as follows :
Moneyed and transportation cor
porations are not alone the works of
private enterprise , but are created for
publio use and , with duo regard to
vested right. It is the clear province
and plain duty of the state to super
vise and regulate such corporations , seas
as to secure iho just and impartial
treatment of all interested , to , fester
the industrial and agricultural welfare
of the people , and , with a liberal pol
icy , favor the publio waterways and
maintain the commercial supremacy
of the state. Wo look to the inquiry
now in progress under the direction
of the legislature , to develop the facts
which will guide all needed action.
The resolution has been .stated , to
gether with the reason therefor. Mo
nopoly senators , who called them
selves democrats , joined hands with
monopoly senators who called them
selves republicans to defeat these
measures. Wo earnestly recommend
that at the next election candidates
for legislative office , and especially
candidates for the senate bo chosen
regardless of party affiliations , and
that only candidateswho will pledge
themselves to support the following
anti-monopoly principles and objects
should receive the sulTrago of the people
ple ;
OUU I'HINCiriES.
Anti-monopoly Wo advocate and
will support nnd defend the rights of
the many as against pi ivilogen for the
fow.
Corporations , the creation of the
state , shall bo controlled by the state.
Labor and capital allies , not ene
mies justice for both.
OBJECTS.
In accordance ) with these general
principles wo will oiidcavor to secure ,
among others , the following specified
results ;
First Laws compelling transporta
tion companies to base charges upon
cost ana risk of service , instead of the
now thuory enunciated by them , "what
the trufllo will boar. ' "
Second Laws to prevent pooling
and combinations.
Third No discrimination against
any citizen or any class of citizens on
publio highways.
Fou-th A board of railroad conir
missionora for this state , to give cilect
the laws which are or may bo placed
upon the statutn books.
Fifth Laws making it the duty of
publio law officers to defend a citizen's
rights against injustices by powerful
corporations.
Sixth Laws to prevent the further
watering of stock and other devices
by which a fictitious value for publio
highways is created.
Seventh Stringent laws against o
bribery , including the prohibition of
free passes.
Eighth Amendments to
our oloc-1 a
tiou laws which will bettor secure to
the pcopjo the power to select candi
dates for ofiicoi
Ninth A liberal policy toward our
canals , which during tlio season of lu
navigation are potent in preventing
exorbitant charges by mill-ends.
Tenth Laws providing for the re
striction within uropor limits of cor
porate powers and privileges generally ,
and for the protection , education and
elevation of the masses.
Jlesolvcd , That in order to give of
feet to arid onfoico ( ho obseryancrt of
these principles and objects that an
organization of the people on a non
partizan basis is absolutely necessary ;
that in ovoryasscmbly district farmers'
alliances or aiili'monopoly leagues
should bo organized ; that wo mlviso
tlio voters of the state of Now Yoik
in the coming fill elcc 5 m to vote only
for such legislators as will openly
pledge themselves to vote for a board
of railroad commissioners for the state
of Now York nnd also to sustain gen
nraliy the principles Of the so1 called
"Hepburn bill. "
llcsolved , That wo make ho war
upon corporations as such , nor upon
any Icgithnato interest or industry )
but that experience' has shown that
such organization is necessary to re
sist the aggressions of corporate mon
opolies , and to maintain the publio
rights ( is expressed in the constitu
tion and interpreted by the supreme
court of the United States , and for
this object wo pledge our earnest' ef
forts , regardless of party afliliations.
llcsolved , That the discriminations
of the railroads , the improvement of
the Mississippi river and the enlarge
ment of the Canadian canals , all ad
monish the pcoplo of this sfato that
their canals should bo modernized and
made equal to any competition which
they may have to sustain ; and wo
therefore declare that the waterways
of the state should bo enlarged and
made free of tolls.
Itesolved , That the stabj having
delegated to railroad and -telegraph
corporations its duty of maintaining
public highways and intcrcpnnm'inica
ition , is bound to control said corpora
tions in the interest bf the public , or
'
reuss'umo the functions so doldgated ,
that Iho , direct teiitlbncy of thcabuscs
in our transportation system is to
nulify the principle upbn which1 our
government is founded , that instead
of thd distribution1 of wealth they
tend to make a few very rich and the
many1poor. . The feudalistic 'tcnden-
ciod df the ago are Very marked , and
prompt and vigorous efforts are nec
essary to check this rapidly growing
evil.
llcsolvodj That the American pub
lie , and especially the people of this
state , are not yet ready to acknowl
edge that there is a dominant privi
leged class , to which all the rest of
tlio community must pay tribute ;
that ovcry barrel of flour , every gallon
of petroleum , every ton of coal and
other necessaries of life must bo de
preciated to the producer or unduly
enhanced in cost to the consumer , in
order that the few may live in undue
luxury at the expense of the many.
Wo have faith that.tho intelligence
and patriotism of the American pco
plo will bo equal to the emergency of
controlling tlio creature of their crea
tion , and wo invoke the influence of
o/ory good citizen , and wo will work
and organize to this end.
