Protective Tarlff and Subsldies the Big- gest Lies in Awmericn. 1he Economical Management of Rallroads, The Natlonal Agricnltural Congress began its second! day's scesion yesterday morning In Room 44 of the Grand Pacifie, Some twenty delegates were preeent, the Hon. J. 8terling Morton, of Nebraskn, in the chalr. Mr, Morton opencd the proceedings by reading & paver on * The Ralronds and Their Relation to tne Pubtie,” * Mr. Morton suld that, in the Western and Northwestern States, there were 34,000 miles of rallrond in existence. The estimated value of all the railroade in the Unlon 1s $1,600,000,000, while the value of ships, Ainerican and foreign, engaged in ocean transportation e only $200,000,000. ‘The value of * all the commudities carried out of anl prought into the United States is estimated ot §1,121,000,000. Rut the estimaled vaiue of the futernal cominerce transported Letween States Ly rail plona {3 $18,000,000,000, Thescestlmates, preparcd by the Natfonal Statistical Bureau, ghow the valuc of the raflroads of the country o be about twenty-three times the value of the sbipping engaged In tho forelgn trade, and sxteen times the value of the forcizn com- merce of the country. This being tho case, there 18 no wanider that the equitable relatfons of rallroads, representing such' o fabulous smount of fixed capital, should oecuby the attentfon of the people. ‘The vast sums of mioncy transformed from circulating to fixed capital In railroads form n potent primary cause of the collapse of g0 nanv legitlmate industries. The mania for bullding raiflrunds has often amounted to popular frenzy, and led to legislative lunacy, ‘The fact tl nailronds ought to bo constructed to mak mouey has becn lost sieht of, white fools, detnn- wgues, and Utopians have demanded that they built purely tor the publle gool or to gratify avopular demiand. This class of rascals and filusionists have deplcted capital as o Guod S8n- maritan wandering up and down to nd sic aties and poor countles needine reliel by the condtruction of raflronds to, from, aml between them. Thus tho vicluus matem of subsidles to corporatlon has grown up and become the monster bane of the country, Bubsklles Ly a clty, county, State, or by the General Government are wroniz in theory and demoralizing inresults. It a majority ma; by vote take nunoy from the many in the shupe ol taxes for the benefit of the feiw, they mioht s well bo allowed to go further and hang the minority, Never under any form of Govern- ment but the American _has such a glcantle whieme of stealing been devised, Mr. Morton quuted the decisions of Judge Dillon, while Chicl Justice of Iows, and more receutly as Clreult Unlted States Judge, which he contended differed materially, It 1s, in hly opl‘lou, equally competent for the GOVERNMENT TO PRESCRUDA what fecs lnwyers muy charge for thelr services w {o fix maximum charges for rallroads to make. ‘Tho snme would hold good with the liv- eryman, teamster, and hotel-keaper, My, Charles Francls Adamis, Jr., joina with hiscolleazues, and in the fifth yearly report of the Rallroad Com- missioncrs of Massuchusetta says that it may mow be taken ns very gencrally conceded that ralironds arc, snd, in the nature of things, must remaln, pru".lml monopolies, The luw of com- tition can exerclse only a limited control over {l:em, and even this controt (s rather of o dis- turbing than an equalizing character. In- ceaso fn the number of competing roads does uot dond - to diminish the cost of transportation. Ouce bulle, the! cannot be removed, nor ean any excess of capl- talinvested. fu thom be transferred at will, It follows, therefore, that. as the laws of compe- titlon do not apply, the relntions between rail- roads and communitics must elther go uurc;iu- hlcd—cxc?:t by the Intermittent action of n disturbing force—or olse they must be carrfed on under o greater or less decreo of govern- mental interfercuce. Compotion {s every man dolng the bost he can for himself, and a rafiroad ouly carrles out this principle when it makesauch .thargea for scrvices rendured as will stimulate and {ncrease Lusiuess over its rafls, The rail- roads tu the Lands of Recclyverstolay show that competition among them las been hot and un- reasoulng to tho vergo of sulclde, Merchants kuow that attempts at extortion by excessive charges depresses teade, and just 6o It {s with len!lbl&qnumufid rallroads, “'I'he interests of rallroads and of the peoplo living fn the section through wnfch thoy run are identieal, and no Tnflug road can bo maintained through a shift- eas, unprosperous section, The strong law of selt-laterest compels, at Jast, rllroads to do the falr thing, s it compels tho truler to make falr prices for his commodities.

Prof. J. D, Watdleld, of Margland, Indorsed the paper. In his opinion the recent strikes arote [rom the fact that the yreat trunk lines, in thelr Insane competition for busincas, had re- dueed the wates ol Jabor below a proper point. He declared in favor of free trade and agalnst subsidies of any kind. Mr. %, M. Hinman, of Colorado, held that the newer districts were 88 much entitled to have railronds built as to expect 8 dally or a weekly mail. By the accident of thelr situation, his State, Utah, Callfornia, and othera onthe Pacific 8lape, hind been practically protected, and whero conld ba found ninore prosperous condition of things than existed in the polygamousterritory? ‘The Chair Uelleved that the homestead sys- tem was a rpecles of subsidizing, and thatits effects had been bad, The homeateaders were the men who hiad mado an outery fur nlms alter the grasshopper wisitatjon, They don't go to Nebraska to settle permnnently, but a8 & tnat- terof speculation, and they were the frst to miye up when the trouble came. ‘This brought up Mr. Littler, of Iowa, who, in & very flamboyant, spread-cagle speceh, declared that “he was on the frst locomotive which crossed the Missourd, and that e was a home- steader, and gloried n the title, Tumesteaders had titrned lowa Into & garden, her hills and valleys and her glorfons * perearva® teeming with olden groin, He bad lost anarm In the War, and lic sabd Uod bless the Unfon and the glorious flug, vte., with much more to the same ellect, equaily Fourth of July in its tendency, and equally forelen to the subject, After soine further expression of opinlon by the different delerates, who sppeared. to be about equally divided on the question of trec trudde or protection, It was dectded to adjourn until 3 p. m, Previous to this action heing taken an nvita- tion lumsrev.-uhe ity was recclved from the Mayor, who vroffered the use of a tuyw to" visit the erlh, and of e rlages, ot Mr. Iegnolds sent an fuvitation to the Congress to lvok {n at his sliow on the lake front, and the South Park Comnils- sioners, through Mr. Perriamn, of this city, fn- vited thie body Lo Investizate ‘the waving ‘Zrass and blooming tlowers south of Fifty-iirst street, All the invitations were referred toa commitice of thiree to repart ater in the day, AFTEINOON BESSION, In the absence of the President of the Asso- clatiun the nftermoon sesslon was ealled to uriler by Prof. Wartleld. ‘Tho Committee on Exenr- #lons presented thele report, thanking the Sou P'ark Cotmnissioners and the manacers of t Inter-State Exporition for thelr tenerons fu tation to the Association to visit the abov mumed places. amd sugrested that Friday be ap- pointed us the day on which to accept the Invi- tation; that the delegntes nasemble at the Tili- nots Central Depot at 9:10 & in. to take the cars. for Oskland, to return to the city vin _ dlyde ' Park, lesving that town at v, In te allernoon of the same day, at 3 o'clovk, to i»lnce themselves in iaree of bis 1lonor tho Mayor of Chicago at bo deslgnated, nud Ut v onvention will visit the Inter- v .

Tallant, of Burlington, Ja. ~ Unquestionably, e 'suld, the most fmportant problem within the duty of modern clvillzatton is to grapple, and if possl- ble Lo solve or ndjuat tu the satisfaction of all partics, the relations which those girantie cor- poratlons, the raflroads, shall in future bear to the public; whether they shall Lo what they orlginally promised to be, always useful and profitable servants, or whether they shall bo- come remorseless and futolerable tyrants, com- peliing at frequenty Intervals the re- volts of the propls which have recent- Iy oceurred. The floal termination In Savor of tha people of the long und tedious Nti- gation about the sacredness of corporate or vueated chartered rights and privilezes, which has for so many years dragged it slow length through the courts both State and natfona), hus certalnly devolved upon the public now duties, with new relations, not only o prevent extor- tion and overchurging by railronds, but also to avold abuses ond degencration. To render these great hizhways us desirable and sufc as they ean possibly bo made {s the bounden duty of the 8tate, ncting for the people. To be wurked profitubly and economlcally, as woll as to sceure the maximum of safety, the rails nnd the way In which thoy are secured together should'be of the most sclentitic and enduring character, ‘The locomotives ‘should be as pow- crful o8 engineering aml skill can make them to exert the maximum of duty or labor in the cheapest possidle manner, That this s not the caso at the present day, and that conscyuently the cost of all hranches of trallle-service performed by theso roads las greatly and unnecessarily increased, while accidents fuvoly- ing not only” the destruction of valuable proper- ty but of human life, formerly altogether un. Known, are now of frequent occurrence. 1t will be the alm of this puper to prove, and, after poluting out the disease, sugzest the remedy, which is not'only & cheap one but easily nK- plied. The author went on to compare the rafl- roads in varlous other countrics with those in the United States, stating that the first encines built In Englund by George Stephenson welghed lut 18,600 pounds, yet thelr regular duty or train load was thirty cars weightng two and a half tons cach, which carried five tons each of vaying, load, which duty could be doubled In extrenin es. The hauling capacity of tho locomotives of the present day may be com- red with the above by saying that one of the heavicst conl-roads fu° thls country this {l:x\r reports the wnl‘:m of the ¢ngines to be 144,000 pounds, while they baul but 805, pounds of paying load. This 18 the degeneration of the locotnotive in less than half a contury. Incredi- blo as it tnay scem, then, it bauled upwards of cighteen pounds of paying load to ONE I'OUND OF MOTIVE FOWEIR. ‘Witha loss of power iu the locomotive fs also combined a nost extraordinery luss of endur- ance in the fron rall, This may be shown by the fact that, while rafls made forty years ago are yet fn usc on sume roads, the average cn- durnnce of the rails made at the present time is scarcely threo years, In a certalu locality, for instance, where the wear was very great, irou rails lald fp 1838 Tasted fourteon® ycars, wiilly those which were lald_to replace them lasted but eleven months. This degeueration of fron rafls Is caused by a debused “mode of making and not by inferlor quality of metal. Stcel ratla have been introduced “to considerablu ex- t tent, but thelr cost oprevents any but the ~ largest romls from using them. The degencration of the ruil hns also ensued a change In . tho micthod of fastening the cnds of the ralls togethier, which has proved to bo the_reverse of safety or ccons omy. It is contended that the ‘risy pPLATE" which hias come Into gencral use on nearly all the rouds iu the country, has a tendency to weaken the rall by chauging its shape to ao- cammiodate these plates, also { punching hotes In Its most vital part, by which 1t {s bolted to the plates. ‘The shupo “of tho bolts prevents evena fraction of the contractlon demanded to nature In u rail un a sovore winter's nlght, which waa Jald fu thelicat of the preceding sum- wmier. Observations made in the 8t. Lous Dridie for several lyeun past show an amount of con- truction which is -urprhlnx‘:l.

Therefore, it fa not surprising that acci- dents formerly unkuown are now of frequent Oceurrenco every winter, of the most destructive character, both to buman Hife and valuabls prop- erty.
