CON T. miEDY WWTES RE: RAILROAD LEGISUTION. LuvinwoBTH, Ean., iSnnh 10.

I am forced to ttie concluoloo tb&t tiie gwalest foerrlcr to proKreaa In this country during .'tlic past two years baa btes the unjust leglsla.t4on agalnaC tbe railroads. Admitting the war to tare cr»Al«d an oppor- tunltr Ibr tbe pessimist to get bi bis aiinuul hard timet declamation, and poor crop conditions In mani States io baie a tendency toward *mpha»lt- lug a depression, In nmoj cases flctllloui, I Urnilr belleie the legtalatloo agalDst tbe railroads baa had much to do witib tbe general business atagiHitlan. I'ur tho past eight years, the eipenses ot the Tallroods have been going up and tbe Income down. Tbe railroads ore (be largest buyers of aui.plles In tbe i;nlte<l Staten anil are tbe largest cmpkuers oC labor; one man In every eeventeea o-' the conntry's uopulatlon txliig dependent dl- lectljr upcn tbe ralltoaJa, or dependent upon other en>|>loyers who are depemloot uonn tbe railroads. It Is clear tbrrefor?, that tbe welfare ot tho tallroods Is doaelj related to the imbllc welfare leserolly. Tbe railroads bare been forced to cur- tall their czpeDsea )o every posHlble way. This naiurolly lc<l to reduction In number ot employees, •opplles were nurobaaed In smaller quantlllei, (n loci a general auapenslon ot every activity not tndltpensaUe to actual aerrlce. Hie railroads coitend that on inccoise ct one-half cent per mile on tbetr passeneer business will saslat them Crtally In bringing back normal conditions. SHOWMAN DBST POSTED. I'erbaps tba showman, tbe most conatant ttaielcr. Is belter able to delect the- direct re- aulti of enfoicc-d and necessary curlnllment of opeiallnj rapense by thj tiillrOHdi., and tbgs Is mere literally Informed oa to eclating cnndltlons tbioughout the country than tbe "Sttay at-bome:" tbe reader ot biased polltUMl wrlllpfis or tbe sclf- •rrolnted grirdlons of public- sofety. The Ignorance ot the famter In maitten of pub- lic veltare, the quIck-wUted political designer, tba apaainoillc demandi of the public at lucid ptrlo-ls to change everything and everybody that some new test might be made of an untried remedy for all nnanclal evils, theee and many kindred Mrlera to good tlmss baa nndoubtcdly served to uereasc tho general feeling ot anrest and lack Of public confldence, nnd baa greatly bampcred the rallroada, nsdoobtedly the greatest of all dla- twhutors ot progress and universal wealth. 3tie man who has no aie to grind, who ateta no iralltlcal patronage, who, through this fact ot deelie tor public emuliwtlon can apeak ot tie facts as he sees them irlthout voicing tho oplDlona ot thousenda ot prejadlced constituents, wonVd undoobtedly «dmlt that a careful aoal.rsis <> the causes and elfects of bard times may be traced directly to railroad leglalaUoo, and that • less unjnst deanonstiatlon agalnat the rallroada womd have produced much more aatlsfaotory ic- iuits, Jl-ls icay to nnd rather nnetr to the showman Who demacds "an »y* tor an ey», and t tooth for a tooth," tecaosa of tbe many reatrlctlons and toirxtlmea unjust demnuds made upon the ahow- man by tho Tsllroad. but thete bordablpa are not Jlvroys the MsuU of corporatlOD preludh* agaUist sDOKs. but a coodltkia somellmea brought abont oy tho showman hloselT.

In oddlllon to tlie al»r.>. laiee oa (be various roads In tho central terrlloiy hove Increased more than double since 1000. Again, tlw I'arcel I'oot Law baa been a great burdeai to the carriers, as It baa practically douult'd tbe tonungr In moll ciis without any addllluMnl comiiensalkin. Th> ri'Iboads are not gnJInK f.iult with the vurloui Improveniccta tbot they 'uvc made or are about to make, hot feel tint llier should hnrc aoiue rctoms to Justify tbew eiiotmons eiprnmn. No one will aneonpt to deny tbe fact that all big corporations have llherally watered their holdings, but buw many liidlTlilual builn«5s Drma or men ot Onauee bare not virtually done the aame In a leas nutlci'ohle way. When wo conilder tbe railroads as a consuming corporation, we must ndn-.lt ibey are a great factor In local nrosperlty. lluw many small ■towna are now directly alTeoleil by the political onslaught against the railroads? THOUSANDS U>°RM PLOYED. Thousands of men are nneni|doye<l. millions of cars are lying on tbe aide track, thousands of families going hungry to day, aud tbe ahowmaa leaing mlllluns yearly by 4hc curlalimeat ot ex- pense by tbe rallroails the world over. To mc, the farmer, the business msn, tbe town builder, appears ss uoicraterul to tbe rall-oail iiromoters as does the borrower of money, wlio being lifted from poveity and actual auffering to wealHi Olid affluence, dickers and schemes to hc^at his benefactor out of the Interest ns well as prin- cipal ond knocka him because he falls to do so. As soon aa the |>eu|ile who know so little ot tbe risks ot lliianclal iiivesiraonl':, the man who demands one hundred per cent, proflt on his only mercoiitlle transactions and yet cries sgalnat equal earnings ot tbe raplt.ill8l. when the farmer, who demonila more for bis si>id8 tbnn suv other dealer In tbe world'a necesslllce when these men leorn that capital will nut be coerced Uito ac- ccpllng banking Interest on tlaky Uvestmenta, ta Buon will prrsperlly return, tbe wheels ot la- doclry levolve and conddence again be felt ttrougtaout tho land, 'Vthy thC'Uld the roan with oillllcna Invest bla all In a risk that In the event ot aucceas he will be allcrcd but eight per cent, on the money, when he can e^m tbe saine amount on bis money without taking a aingle risk. Do you think the farmer or merchant would be content to Invest with such legbilatlon ns exists in many States, ood be able to eem only a correnpoadlng Interest Ju bis Investment. .Not likely. Go back twenty miles from the railroad, where the farmer possesss fertile lands, where bo pro- duces wonderful crops—osx this farmer what It ct'Sia him to get his products to the market, and deduct the dltfercnco from tbe farmer who Is fcrlunato enough to possess Innd within eight of tbo rollroad, and then Oguro what differeuce ot I.ercentago It meana to tbe latter. Yet It Is this man who la yelling the loudest against the occumulallon ot capital by rallroij nognates. Too don't hear It from the other fel- low, now gladly tbe former.would aascnt to some corporation making a thousand per cent.. It only each a corporation would risk millions to put o railroad through his land, at least ho would not yell until ho gets IL PUBLIC OPINION CIIAN'GINC. I am glad to nolo the meut pubic eipreeslon In favor ot a lesis stringent legislation against tbo railroads ond the cry ot "atop Uilef" has at Iea£t, so far as the railroads are concerned, lulled. When more deQuHe assurances of protection sre offercl do the railroad magnate, the great ateel and lumber Interests w>ll feel a wonderful Increase In trade through railroad activities. In view of tbe faot Ibnt twenty per ceivt of tbe oatpnt ot lhe steel mlllx oihI a like rerccntsKO ot '(he Inmher mills Is absorbed In railroad and rebuilding. ' , , ^ .So soon OS a .working agreement Is made be- tween tbo legislators and the railroads, there will be a noUccahle Increase bi activities all over the UnUled Sta.tea, the shops will open, the passenger service .Improve, factory wheels will whirl, men by the itbou.sands will bo put bock to work, tovp honsea will he closed and business will flourish tn anitc of foreign wars.
