Most of theso roads pay. divi- donds not only on tho cost of their property, but on tho full amount of the watored stook which represonts no investment. Somo of them, how- ovor, oveordid the business so iromondously that {hioy havo nover been ablo to.poy dividends on anything but thelr preferred stock. " These divi~ donda como out of tho pockets of tlo people. Thoro I8 no other source from which they could como. ‘Tho fictitious capital would, thereforo, it actually invested, supply what many ablo men have decided would bo tho bost relief that could Lo .affordod tho people, viz: A double-track,” stookrail froight ralrosd from tho intorior to tho sonboard. Tho oxcess of froight charges which shippora now poy on this fietitious capitel would pay & fair dividend on tho cost of such a road. Mr. Hatol's cireulars aro o complete sngwer to those who caunot or will not sce any conhec- tion batwoen watercd-stock and freight charges. Tu tho cssa of Now York Ocntral, thero was &’ stock-watoring operation on tho consolidation, in the year 1854, the various roads from which ihe Now York Contral was made up—conneeting linos runuing from Bufialo to Rochester, Roch- oster to Byracuse, Byracuse to Utica, Ulica to Schenectady, and Schoncctady to Albany. Sinco then thero havo been periodical additions to tho capital stock (ab one timoto thoamonnt of | 80 por cent) whonever B, ‘Vandorbilt conceived that Lo could colloct from the peoplo enough monoy to pay dividends upon & larger amount of capital. The total fictitions capital of tho Now York Contral & Hudson River Railrond is 857,~ 576,700, on which the people are required to poy n annual tax of $4,223,000. This 18 at tho rato of £180,264 of walor for evory milo of tho rond, and _overy milo is made to carn 10,000 yoar ovor aud abovo the intorest on the amount of ita actual cost, _ Tho Lake Shora & Michigan Bouthern Road, tho Westorn comploment of. the Central, makes almost a8 bod & showing. Consolidations which brought tho line from Buffalo to Chicsgo undor ono organization furnished tho principal prov texts for incrensing the capital without addition- al investmont. In the Olovelaud, Painesville & Ashtabula Road, which forms & part of this ling, "the aggrogate dividonds for six ‘years, including bonds sud stacks, wero 28234 por cont, of 40 por cont per annum. On tho basis of the originsl stock, $10,000" graw into §32,600 in thoso six yoars, ‘besidea earning §7,000 incash. Tho total watering of tho stock of tho prosont Linke Bliora organization is $20,=~ 065,570, This sum added to tha flctitious stock of tno New Yorl Contral & Hudson River Rail- rond makes a total of §77,644,670 of water, on ‘which the people pay sn annual tax of 36,211,725 to koep-up tho dividonds, If tho roads oarned 8 por cont dividends on thoir actusl cost, which is about £85,000,000, inatead of thoir nominal capl- ta], which is $163,000,000, tho frolght charges might be reduced noarly ono-half tho present rate. My, Hateh figures out that all the graip transportad over Vandorbilt's roads paya a Lrib- uto of 10 conts o bushel in order to malitain the value of the fictitions stock and Londs. It wo should ‘includle tho’ Union Paeific Rail- rond smong tho Yauderhilt * yoads, tho flctitious capital account would bho mensurably increased, ‘I'ho entire capital atock of {his road is fletitious sluco it wap nevor paid for, and sinco the agtual cost of'tho rond will not reach tho aggrogato of tho bonded indobtodness, This would add §36y= 746,000 fto tho fetitious capital nccount, on which 8 por cent dividends will bo domanded a8 soon ag the doun- try grown rich enough and populous enough topay them, If swodaductfrom tho nominal copital of those roads, which, by tho wey, erp not sinnors above all othors, tha amouut 'of 161,141,790, I8 thoro any wondor that the mar- kot valuo of-thesd stocks hns declined at such & fearful rato during tho past four weoks?

Tho Unitod Blatos, in nddition io the lnrge grants of land to the Union, Contral, and tho othor Paclflo allronds, insuod to tho sovoral Companios Unitod Blates bonds, bearing G per cont interost and running thirty yonrs, Tho in- torost on theso bonds Is payablo somi-nnnually. 1t is primarily to bo pald by tho United Btates,— that Is to sny, tho United Biatos aro the mokora of the bonds, and nro bound to tho holders. Tho orlginal contract was that the Railrond Com- ponios should pay th Interest on tho bonds as it foll due, To secure tho ropayment of the principal and intorost, the United ‘Btatos tookk n mortgago on tho ontire ronds and equipments. Bubsoquently Congress, at tho roquest of tho Companios, authorized them to 1nsuo tholr own bonds to an oqual amount ; tho Unitod BStates woiving 1ts morigago in favor of tho Company's bonds, and accopting & second mortgago in lou thereof. The history of what foltowod {s now known. Tho Company sold their Dbonds and built the rond with the proosods ; tho Crodit-Mobilior Company dividing tho United Btatos bonds, and tho land-bonds, and $138,000,~ 000 of onpital stock among themsolves 88 profit. Tho sult brought by the United States, undor tho act of the lnst sosslon of Congross, ngainst the Oredit-Mobilier Company, its officors and mombors, {s probably a fallure, Nothing is liko- 1y to ovor to como of it, and that groat frand will probibly go unpunished. Thoros nothing loft thon but to mako tho bost of the matler . ng it mow etanda, Tho cost of the Union snd of tho Contral Paoiflo Railroads is shown in their pros- ont indebtedness, which 1s as follows ¢ Unfon Pactfie—Firat-mortgago bonds, United Statos bonds, Other bonda Totaliseesenes Central Pacific—Firat-mortgagobond United States bond: Other boids, .. . 38,4 Tolaliuusas, The grant of land in round numbers was 19,000,- 000 aores. 'Tho Union Pacific has issued as & gratuity to its owners eapital stock to tho amount of 236,760,000. Tho Contral Paciflo has oapital stock to the amount of $100,000,000, upon which, wo boliove, dividends aro pald, The contract with the United Btates provided that all chargos for trausportstion on Government account and 5 per cont of tho meb onrnings of tho rond ghould bo opplied in part paymont of the interoat aceruiug on tho bonds. For a long timo, and until the exposuro of tho Credit-Mobilier frauds, Lilf tho charges for Government transportation. During the last year, tho wholo of those earnings lave boen rotained by the Treasury, and on -Sopt. 1, 16873, the intorost account of all tho Pavific ronds stood thus: United States bonda fasued......

Bulanco of iuterest paid by und’ duo to United Btates, e yrenceess Intovest now neerticd und wnp It will bo secon that tho Companies have paid only obout oue-fourth of tho interest on' tho United States bounds, snd thore is now duo over sixteon miltions of unpaid intorest. All that hins beon collectod has been taken from thom by withholding their cherges for transportation of mails and other Government businoss, Tho unpaid intorest alrendy oxcoeds one-fourth of the principal of the bonds, Hore, theroforo, Is & clear case whore the Government mey inter- fere, -and compoel thoese roads .to perform their contract. If thoy ave unable to pay tho intorost, thon they are bankrupt. Why should thoy bo troated differontly from any other ingolvout por- gon or corporation? *Didn’t théy malke onough out of tho bullding of. tho road ? It will be scen that the dobts ere of turee clasges: 1. Tho first-mortgage bonds, amount- ing to about $04,000,000; 2. Tho United Statos bonds, second mortgage, of tho same amount ; and, 9, Othor bonds .smounting to noarly $40,- 000,000, Tho capltal stock is mythical. The indobtedness of tho ronds ia greatly in oxcoss of their valae, and tho financial condition is getting worse for the United Btates overy day. If tho United Statos were to #eizo tho roads now, thoy would have to nssamo the amount of tho fivat- mortgage bonds, principal and intorest, This would make the presont cost of theso ronds £125,000,000, one-half that sum bearing G por cont intorost and. $16,000,000 of nrrearnges of intoreat, in all §144,000,000, ‘How will it bo twenty-tiyo years henoe, whon these bonds be- como duo?
