Bishop snid that * whon monopolists tried to stoal his farm ho proposed tofight." It may bo questioned whothor, in all the publicagitation of tho railrond question, thero has beon 8o poraple- uous and forciblo n statoment of the farmors’ position. It tolls tho whole story of tho wrongs which tho farmers beliove that thoy Lnvo suf- fored ot tho hands of tho railroad corporations. Tt fa o succinct recapitulation of the growth of theso wrongs, and it is o final declaration of rosistanco which, wo have no doubt, will bo oxecuted to tho last oxtromily. When s rilrosd obsorbs oll that o farm produces, leaving to the farmer nothing but o pair of brogsus for his yenr's la- bor and Lis Invostment and risks, it practically takes possossion of his farm. Whatover may linwo been tho reasons, aud railrond chargos aro emong the reasons, though perhaps not tho most potont of thom, it fa o fact that many of tho farms during tho past year huvo not paid 1 por cent on the capital invested in thom. Thero iy but o vory small margin, thon, to go on beforo the farm is gono. On tho ono hand, the farmor finds an cxuotion of an outragaous porcontngo of hls carnings in tho form of n protcotivo tarifr onovery articlo of clothing for hia family and on ovory implemont which he usos n tilling the ground, and 1n tho enlt and Jumber Lo uscs, which ho contributes a8 & bonus to othor monop- olista, Ou tho other haud, ho finds tho rail- rond monopoliats taking from him the vory profits out of which ho hoped to eatisty tho domands of tho tariX loochos, What, then, 1s loft of Blr. Dishop's farm? Mo ferightin declaring that tha monopoliste aro stealing it from lim. Ttis only & question of timo whon jt will all bo gono. Mr. Biskop foro- 5008 this, and of course howill fight. Andso will all tho othor farmors fight, and fight hard. Thoy have commoncod 1t alrondy. Thoir firat attacks aro on tho railroad monopolists, for tioir shar in tho plundor I obvious, The rost will como by aud by, If tho railrond mon don't boliove that this fight will bo sustained a Poutrance, 80 much tho worso for thom, Tho argument of tho railroads—at lenst of thioso that earn dividonds at all—is, that thoy must keop up thelr annual profits, and deolara thole dividonds, Tho snswer i that which Dr. Johnson made to tho dead-hoat who olaimod that ho mustlive, The nocesslty dooy not ap- appoar. Itis propor and highly desirablo that tho ralironds should declaro dividonds when the condition of the country will eunblo thom to do #07 that fs, whon their ouatomors aro coring anything to poy dividonds with, Dut it 1a noithor desirablo nor propor that they should ‘mao a profit out of tho farmors, and whilo the Inttor caunot pay tholr taxos or sond their ohil- dren to schiool, When times aro prosporous, when the demand Is active, aud whon farmory can sell thoir produco at prices which ouablo thom to mako & living profit, no complaint in | bonrd that tho railrosdy 850 dolug ad woll. Tho farmors do not domand that the raflronds shall glvoup all tholr profits to tholr bonofit, and, it thoy dld, nolthor tho rafironds nor any othorclasa in the community would liston to thom. Lub thoy do demand, aud thoy clearly hava n right to domand, that tho rallronds shall sharo with thom tho burdons of on unprofiiablo sonson. Tho raflrond and the farming futorots aro mutually dopoudout. It I woro not for tho gront sioh farms througlout . tho Northwost, and ‘tho produco which thoy furnlsh for transportation, wo shiould have no uch rall- road syatom a3 o now binvo; and if it wara not for tho rallronds wo would not have tho immense and riohly-cultivatod farma wo now havo. Tho bonoflts aro mutunl, and £o must bo tho trlnls and lossos. Tho rallronds daro not say to tho farmora: "It your busiucesis not profitablo, quitit.” If thoy did, nud the farmors should act upon tho advico, tho rallronds would simul- tanoously find tholr ocoupation gono. Tho jus- tico of tho cnao, {horoforo, demands that tho raflronds should put down tholr ratos whon o bad yoar comos, Thoy must divido tho misfortuno with tho farmors. Instond of tho railronds malting 8 or 10 por cont, and tho farmors losing. mouey, oach shiowld oarn 4 por cont, ench coonomizo, and cach malto tho best of tho tomporary cmbartassmont. Tho railronds blind- Iy and porslstontly rofuso to do this,— porslstontly, bocsuso they think thoyhave tho power (thoy aro now fnding out thoir mistako), and blindly, becauso thoy fail to sco tho logical consoquonces of thelr courdo, It thoy continuo tho fight, they will surrondor nt lnst under worso condltions than thoy can obtaln noy by troaty. Tho Bupromo Court has distinotly declarod that raflrond ratos must bo falr and roasonablo, and that thoro must bo no unjust discrimination. Wo hiavo alrondy disoussed the Jattor point ; tho formor 15 oqually imperative. Tho Loglslaturo 1o proparing a statuto to enforco tho lnw of rea- sonnblo ratos, Tho Railroad and Warohonso Commission will bo ontrustod with the prosoots tion of tho railronds who rofuso to conform to it nnd thoy will mfallibly do thoir duty in this xo- gard. Thoy daro not do otherwiao if thoy would. Tho rensonablonass or unrongonablencss of rafl- roud rates will bodetorminod by a court ond Jury, and 1t I8 eafo to prodict that tho Anding of o fury, in tho prosont stato of tho publio mind, will not loan to tho aido of tho raflronds, Tho Bupromo Court of this Stato, or of tho United Statos, will never rovorso o jury vordict mado upon compotout ovidenco and in conformity to tho law. This s tho lino of battlo fn which tho fight ngalnst tho raflroads will bo mado, and 1t 18 of such strong, atratoglo points, and of such formidablo numbors, that tho raflronds will bo Dadly thrashed in tho ond, i¢ thoy allow an ne- tunl ongagoment to take placo, If 1t comos to this, it fo probablo that thoy will bo punished worea than thoy ought to bo. Tho fight of tho formors will bo sustainod by tho strong arm of tho Btato Govornmont and tho strong box of tho Stato Tronsury. If tho raflronds oxorclse good Judgmont, thoy will “come down,” and, fn such caso, tho torma will not probably bo any worse than taling their sharo of tho common misfor- tuno of thoso hard times. THE NEW LIBERAL PARTY, The curront fntolligonco from every part of tho country ehows that tho people aro arousing thomsolyos as it from a long slecp, and propar- ing to oheck tho torront of corrptions snd abuees of power which has beon gathoring hend- way for tho past fow yoars beforo it assumos snol proportions that reslstanco to it will bo of no avail. The railronds snd thoir opprossive monopolios, tho opon doflanco of law by the criminal classes, tho burdens and oxactions of protoctive tariffs, tho corruptions of ofiiclals in ‘political lifo, tho frauds and dofalcations of Btato officeys, North aud South, tho startling increaso of oxtravaganco, tmmorality, aud disrogard for lifo and roputation, the reckloss squandoring of thio public funds, and tho eriminal uso of monoy to influonce legislation, bavo finally reachod that ‘point whore they hinvo becomo intolerablo, Tho peoplo kavo at Jnst arrivod at tho conelusion that thoy must breal down this shameloss systom of publio and private profligacy or it will break thom down and eap tho very foundations of Re- ‘publican governmont. Tn ordor to succossfully accomplish this groat movoment, bowesor, tho pooplo must bo as thoroughly organized ns thoir oppononts, Fugi- tivo offorts, horo and thero, by local organiza- tions, will ovail pothing against tho poworful influonces of tho old party combinations and tho opposition which thoy oan bring to bear with monoy, and patronago, and oxporionco. Tho poople must act in concert nud presont a united front to thoir opponents. Thoy must organize {hemsolves into a party and act undor party disciplino, lod by honost and compotont lenders, Any other courso of action will rosult in dofont. A in 16 fablo, tho solid bundlo of xods cannot bo Lrokon, whilo each noparately is onsily snappod. “DBut," tho consorvativo man enys, “thero aro parties alrondy in oxistenco, Why form now ono?" Tho suswor is s simplo ono, Tho Republican party is tho party undor whoso aus- plees theao corruptions have boou fostered and practised. A yonr ngo, tho Ropublican pary issued plntform at Philadelphia fall of loud- sounding promisos to chock corruptiona and in- troduco roforms in tho admiuistration of gov- ornment, ow have tho proniisos beon kopt ? Nevor bofore hos thoro boou a yoar o fruitful in corruption; nover has thoro boon n year in Which solittloxeal roform has been nccomplishod, Congross hing maiuly occupiod {tsole In the in- voatigations of tho most shamoless and undo- ninblo casos of bribory, fraud, and corruption, and, aftor showing itself incompotent or unwill- 1ng to punish thom, closed its sossion by n delib- orate robbory of tho Unitod Staten Treasury in voling itsolf back pay, after voting an anuual increaso of oxpouditure to tho amount of mill- fons, T’ Ropublican party has, thoreforo, pub- licly proclaimod its Inability to porform what it promisod, belng iteolf too far suuk in cormup- tions to bo capablo of throwing thom off, ‘he Domocratio party offars still fowor fu- ducomonts to tho people. Tho poople.hinve no confidonco fn it. Its past record has mot boon such o8 to commond it. Its prosont conditlon I ouo of hopoloss Inoflicloncy, It I i that stago of dry rot which orumblos at ovory blow. With ovory advantage in its favor, it {a incompotont to nchiove o suiccoss, Tho rocont loction in Now Hampshiro lns shown that it 18 & mere sholl, whoeo kernal was long ngo shrivelled away, In thot Btato, it bad tho prostige of past victorles inits favor. Tt Lind tho advantago of & voto 8o ologo that tho elightest offort would hiavo turnod tho ecalo In its favor. It had tho shamoful do- volopmonts 0f tho Crodit Mobilier aud tho long rocord of Roepublican cor- ruption with which to go_ beforo the pooplo, who wero already burning with iudigna- tien, and roady for sy change which would icuarantoo thom au honest govornment and in- corrnptiblo legialators, With such advantagon a6 thono in Its favor, nud opponents who woro alrondy demornlizod by tho oxposures which hind Doon mndo, their majority should linvo countod by thousands, Tustond of that, tho Ropublicans oloctod four of tho fivo Counsollors, nine of tho twolvo Btate Sonntors, nt lonst fifty-Lwo majorily in tho ITouse, thus insuring a Ropublican Gov- omor, and two of the threo mombors of Con- grous, The Domocratio party, in fact, was 8o disorganized that, aven with evory advan- fago In its favor, it could mot tho ground which It had proviously oconplod, and waa dofonted with groatorloss than ovor bo- foro. It thoDemocratio party, with ovory advan- tago on ita sldo, and fn ono of ita strongholds, conld not achlove s succoss, what hopo ia thero for it olsowhoro, whoro It must fight at o disadvan- tago? Isnoy furthor argument nooded to con= vinco tho londors of that party that tho organi- zation to which thoy oling g0 tonaclously has no lifo in it—that tho vital essenco long ago do- ported from {t—that it is incapablo of motlon, action, or offort of any kind—that, in fact, thoy are only galvanizing o doad body Into an arti- fleinl show of life? Nolthor the Ropublienn nor tho Domocratic party boing nblo to check corruption, it followa thiat this work must bo accomplisted by a now party. The Domocratio lenders of Iudiana have at lagt rocoguized tho necossitios of tho situa~ tlon, nnd havo concluded to abandon their old organization, and organizo & mow Lboral party on the living ipsucs of tho day., That is tho firat atop toward succoss, and ite Influonco, com- ing from Indiana, must tond to convinoo Domo- oratio londors olsowhoro of the futility of longor attompting to maintain tho Domooratic organ~ 1zation, as woll a8 of tho folly of expeoting to bo succossful, working undor s dual organizasion, as ot tho last gonoral election. A mnew liboral party, based npon tho living {esucs of tho day,” 18 tho only party which can succesefully contond with tho evils of tho day, aud overcome thom, That new liboral party will embraco all the Lonest mon of tho old parties. It will bo tho porty of tho peoplo organized togothor agalnst ‘monopolics, agatnst abusos of powor, against corruptions and frauds in offico, and in favor of immodiate reform in tho administration of tho Govornment, Tho Domooratic party of Indians have ot o noblo examplo in abandoning thelr old orgunization, and buryiog the old threndbaro fssucs oub of sight, It is the only way in which roforms can bomade. It is an examplo which tho Domocrats of Now Hampshiro can now woll afford to contomplate and follow, Itis & concosslon mado in tho interests of honesty, sconomy, and public probity, and it will commend itsolf tonll who dosiro to Boo tho Governmont administored upon truo Republican basis. THE SALARY-GRAB, Tho passago by Congress of tho Incroased- enlary Bl hos provoled more popular indigna- tion than any other logislation sinco tho Kansas- Nobraska bill twontyyearsago. T meots with uni- vorsnl dlssont, Tts rotronotivo operation stamps it In tho popular judgment as o doliborate robbery. Fifty years ago, Congresa attempted o liko robbory, voting to tho membora s salary of 81,600 ayoar. Tho public indignation was so universal that tho pooplo at tho noxt cleotion rojectod nonrly ovory momber who voted for or rocalved tho advanced poy, and the nct was im- modiatoly repesled. Tho componsation of 88 por doy contiuod from that timo untl o fow years ago, whon it was changed to 85,000 o year, Tho lato Congross advancod It to 87,600, dating the advance two yoars back, and also doublod tho enlary of tho President, and largely incroased thoso of tho Cabinot. Tho reason, and tho only roason, givon for this act is, that mombors canuob afford to live in Washington at £5,000 salory, and an avor- " ago of ©1,000 ench additional for mileago. Llow hos it beon in tho past? Honry Clay, John O, Callioun, Daniel Wobstor, Thomas II. Bouton, Edward Evorott, John Davis, Silas Wright, James, Buchanan, Willlam H. Soward, Millard Tillmore, Martin Van Buron, Stophen A. Dougs 1as, Lowis Cags, Goorgo Evans, Roverdy John- son, Bufus Choato, Salmou P. Chase, and John Quiney Adams, all of whom tworo above porsonal voproach, all lived ot Waehington, recoiving no othor componaation for thoir eorvices in Con- gress than 88 por day, for an svorago of 160 days onch soor.
