But tho teali- mony roporied by tho Committes np%oxnteu o fuvostigato allogod irregularitios at tho ough ZElovator shows that THE LAW 18 NOT ENFORCED, Tho tostimony of tho Rogistrar bofors the Cowmmittoo is : [ told Mr. Wright if tho investigation was to tako tho seopo of on inquiry Iuto tho woy all this thing was done in my oflico, and in the Inspect- or's oftice, &e., that I hositated somowhat in go- fng into it, and for this reason : ‘That it would vy naturally ocour to almost anyboily that tho thing was vory loosoly managed in my otlico, in caucoling thoso recelpts, and incldonially rogie- toring thom, Dut, whon tho Stato nssumed tho inspaotion and registration, &e., aud I wonk into tho offico, I, of coutso, carriod out that syaton for somot! “"E ko o yoar, and I saw that what was tormod thosa Insbootors’ roports woro, aftor all, good doal of o farco ; that wo Lind to dopoud upon tho elovator-mon for the information any- way” (pnges 80 and 40). 1t furthor apponre from the Rogistrar’s tosti~ mon? that tho Moears, Hough issuod warohouso- rocoipts roprosonting six bont-loads of corn that never went intotho Elovators, These warehouso- Toceipts wero duly registored, —crtiflod as gonu- ine by the ofilcial stamp of tho Btato.

Trom tho foregoing, and tho testimony of othergentlomon, including warshouse-mausgers, it is quito ovidont tho Stato suthoritics Lave not introduced any improvemont i couductiog tho business ; and_that the lawa onacted to govern warchousing of grain, and rogistration aud can- coliation of warehotisd-racaipts, ALIL; NOT ENFORCED, and particularly tho law roquiring wsrohousa- managots to tale out licenso, and_givo bonds in the penal sumn of 210,000, conditioned for the faithful porformanco of their dutics and a full and unresorved compliance with all laws of tho Stato in rolation thoroto, It is equally clear tho Stato oflicors Linve not corrocted any abuscs pro- vionsly oxisting, From tho tostimony boforo thio Committeo, snd accompanying thoir report, it {8 not ouly ovidont that the Jaw rolating to tho duties of wareliouse-managors_is duily disro- garded, but tha testimony of tho Reglutrar (pago D) shows that somo of thum, st lenst, avowed thioir purposo to DISREGARD THE LAWE. Tho Rogletrar, meoting Mr. Musin (of the firm of Munn & Beott), says to him: ¢ ¢ dluun, you seo I have got the sppointment of Rogistiar, and now 1 shall bave to put you fellows throngh.! Voll," says Lo (Munn), * whnt &re you going to do nbout it? °Well, says I, ‘I am. going to muke you conform to® tho Inwa as woll a8 I can.’ “Wall;* erys lio (Munn), * I shan't pay aay atten- tion to tho law nt oll,’"ete. In view of this frank avowal of Mr, Dluny, that he (or his firm) would not psy any attention to tho law, it might soom strango that thoro 18 no ovidoncs of extra Vigilanca on tho part of tho Stato officars to pro- vent the frauds by that firm that were so start- lingly devoloped soma months later, mmounting to saveral bundred thousand bushels of prain ghort in their olovators, aud for which they hod bypotheeated their warohouse-recoipts to bank- ers for louns of money. If further evidance 18 wanting that the public cro not protected ogainst fraud undor thwo Stato manngemont of registration and conoellation of wareliouso-receipté,’ WE IAYE IT in this tostimony of tho Stato Registrar, page 95, \when he gaya : *Tho law specitienlly ' provides that wo shall say * registered for canvellation '’ on theface” (of warehouse-recaipts). The Chsirman sugeesty, * It is only with s viow of protectiug thopublio,” Tho Registrar roplics, * the protac- tiow of tho public is ot accomplivhad, 8 suro as you live,” It scoms to me this answer of the State ltegistrar concedes tho whole quastlon.

Spllt raceipis are rogiskercd whilo tho original Tecoipts aro outstanding, snd fetitious roceipts yeceivo tho State inderso- mont o8 gouuine. What further testimony is requirod to show the absurdity of Btuto rogustra- tions and monngemout ? lave tho oflicors provided for in tho laws boon appointed with solo roforence to THEIR FITNESS AND CAPACITY to dlschargo the duties required ? Tha tosthwony of the State Hoglstrar, tdken by tho Committeo of tho Bonrd of Trade, and accotponying their report, beforo reforred to, will enablo evory one who hing read it to julgo of s fituess for the oftico to which he way ap- pointod, _ Whatever may be safd in bohalt of tho presont incumbent of the oflice of Ohiof Tospector of Grain, it will not, it is bolioved, bo contonded that bo possesses the firat and mosy ea- soutinl qualitication for an intolligeut dischaege of tha dutics of Chiof Inspector of Gredn, It he is mnot an oxpert judge of grain, ho 18 incompotent to ‘suporvie, Rdvise, confirm, or overrulo the judgment of his suordinatos, whom bo has appointed (with tho advico and consent of the Commissionors of Tailronds snd Warckiousow), it such appolniments huvo boon made with a proper regard to lLmir fituus, by oxperiouco aud other nocessary quiali- fications, for Lho dutios of Iuspectors of 8rnhx.

PROSPECTUS FOR 1874. Tho coming yoar promiscs to bo tho most ovenifulin a political sonso that we have soon since the closo of tho war. The quostions which havo ongrossed and divided the public mind during tho past twonty yoars are rapidly passing away, and we find growing up in difforent parts of tho country a party callod by vari- ous names---in California the Indo- pendont party, in Iowa the Anti- Monopoly party, in Wisconsin the Reform party, in Illinois tho Farmers' Movemont---having a com- mon purpose and inspiration, ond exhibiting o strongth which proves that it pnswors one of tho chief de- mands of the hour. The CHICAGO TRIBUNE will give o large share of its attontion to this NEW MAN- IFESTATION OF PUBLIC SENTI- MENT. It holds: 1st, That tho old party organiza- tions are ossentially corrupt and fraudulent. Laving no longer any principlosto earry into eoffoct, they havo becomo mere business onter- prises, making a show of opposition to cach othor, but really sharing in tho procoods of profligate and dis- honest legislation. To suppose that any healthful reform can flow from the pretonded efforts of these worn- out and demorslized partnerships is altogether vain and illusory. 2d. That the tariff system now in vogue is » cunning dovice to rob tho many for the beneflt of the fow, and that its offect is to causo farm pro- ducts to exchango for about one-hulf the quantity of foroign or ‘ pro- tected” goods thoy would otherwise buy. Mo 3d. That railroads cannot exnct moro than a fair rato of interest on the cepital actuelly invested in thom, and that when, in addition to this, they claim dividoends on waterod stock and freudulent bonds, the State may rightfully interfere for the protection of the peoplo; that unjust discriminations between different looalities are in violation of law and should be prohibitod. 4th, That subsidios or bounties of money, land, or public credit, to railway, stoamship, or other corpo- retions, ave flagrant sbuses of tho powors of governmeont, fraught with tho gravost dangers to tho pooplo, and tonding to promoto corruption, extravagance, spoculation, and financial disaster. Tho general charactor of THI CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well cetablished to need recapitulation. It is always independent and foar- less in the oxpression of its views. In its news dopartment it is second to no paper in the United States. The Weekly Edition contains & care~ fully prepared summary ot tho nows of the wooek, brought down to the hour of going to press. Literary, political, finencial, so- eial, and agricultural topics will constituto, as heretofore, leading foatures of the Weekly Edition, and no paing will be spared to incroase its attractivenoss in theso depart- ments, Its markob reports are un- surpassed, ombracing all the infor- mation which farmers roquire for the intelligont transsction of busi~ ness, both as sollers and buyors. THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is & lerge eight-pago shoet, of the samo size gs the Daily Tribune, consisting of fifty-six columns of closely- printed matter, and, as a family newspapor and in its goneral make- up, is unsurpassod by any pepor in the land.
