INTER-STATE COMMERCE. “app'’s Bill’as Baplained by Himself Advantages of the Commis- sion Plan. {ho Views of “The Tribune” Approved—The Defects of the Reagan Bill. From Our Oton Correspondent, Wasnttnaton, D, C., Jan. 20.—Representa- tive Sapp, of Iown, fn the course of a recont conversation with Tie Tripune correspon ent on the subject of Inter-State cominerce, explalned at length tho bill which ho has in- troduced to provide for a Ratlroad Comimis- sion, Being asked whethor there was a prob- ability that such bill could pass, Mr. Sapp ds mi Jf thore is a general Dill passed, it will apply to all tho roflroads which carry Inter- tate freight. Of course, you caunot reach by any such genoral law any barrier to State commerce." “ Upon what basis conld FAM AND LEGITIMATH NATES BE ESTAD- LISHED 2” “My Dill procceds on this hypothesis: that, by the appointment of nino commissioners, tho wants and interests of all portions of tho country would bo represented, These com- misstoners, or any sub-committee of them, should have authority to make a full Inquiry or investigation Into the mode and manner of operating theso roads, or of carrying the com- merce between the States. They are, by tho provisions of the Dil, authorized to examins thoso ongaged in operating rallronds, to in- spect thelr books, and everything clso that will Lelp to inform them as to reasonablo rates of charges, and also the charges that are exacted by these railronds in the carrying of Inter-State commerce. -My bill provides that, after they have thus Informed them- solves, they shall fx n rensonnble rate of compensation for tho various Inter-State ronds, No bill which will not remedy the evils complained of is worth passing. As o matter of course, this’ commis- sion would be obliged to take into considoration the expense of these ronds jn transporting tho freight, merchandise, and products of the country through thelr sec- tlon, Ido not think an Inflexible rate could beestablished, because what would be just compensation ton line of roads engaged in carrying freight trom Chicago to New York, would be perfectly. rulnons to tho Pacific roads, or {oso of many other portions of tho Western country, It is not possible, in my ppinion, for railroad companies to transport freight ns cheaply through Western States as from Chiengo enst, and, therefore, my bill provides that these commissioners, after duly Anquiring into the whole subject matter, shull, under all circumstances, fix reasonable hls maa thera any reason why tho railroads of tho country should be perniltted to exerctso the arbitrary power of compelling tho Reonlo to pay their Afvidends on a valuation tivica, and often five times, as great as the real value ofthe property ?” ; “Tthink not. Thoy aro LIMITED CLEARLY TO THE ACTUAL COST, and not ton hypothetical costa cost that !s mneroly genoral.”” “What prospect is there for any legisin- on, designed to regulate intor-Sfate rall- ron “T think thoro ts a arent necessity and de- mand on the pat ‘of the public for such leg- §slation, and I think there is a strong dlspo- sition on the partof the Mouse to legislate on that subject, -I feel confident that any fair bill will pass the Houso of Represonta- tives ‘with but little or no Spposttion, Every member of Congress is applied to by his,con- #tltuants to do something to save the people from what thoy consider the exactions of cor- orations opengl ed in inter-Stnta commerce. Shave received letters from all parts of the country in respect to this necessity, and urg- {ng ine to make overy effortin my powor to bring my Dill toa vote in tho House. Vari- ous opinions are entertained in respect to what would be wise. Sono think a commis: sion merely to Inquire into a method of transporting inter-Stato commerce is all that vught to be done now. Others think that, In addition to this, there ought to ao remedy provided for any ovils that may be found to exist. “Ts it not slgnificant thata bill calling for aratlway cominission should have been ine troduced by a State-rights Bourbon like Eaton, and that Reagan in the Houso should seck to diylde honors with him?” Oh, no. ‘That comes from tho fact that the people nll over the country are clamoring for something potent. These railrond cam anics have consoliduted into a fow great runk Hines, aud other Hes are converted tnto feeders, These Intter lines sco that the tmilroad interests are rapidly passing into a few hands, and these few have entered Inton system of pooling ther issties so as-to defent ali compatition, and tho public 1s thereby lett to the merey of the ronds, All Stato regula. tlons are feeble and Ineffectual, as has been realized Ina number of Western States, my own ineluded.” “1g TUFRE NOT SUFFICIENT WARRANT Dy THY CONATITUTIONAL PROVISION ielative to the regulation of commerce be- {ween the States for tho passage of some such “There ts no doubt of that, Tho Supremo Court of the United States, in two well-con- sidered cases atleast, has held thatStates have no right to regulate inter-State commerce, that 18, commerce carried from one State to + another; that thoy cannotin any way lay o tax upon ‘it; that. that power by the Constit".tion Is vested in Congress alone, In addition to that, a number of Ciroult Courts of the United States have determined that this power exista in Congress, and many State Courts have done thesame thing, ‘fhe Supreme Court of our bwn Stata (owe) decided this same question in the caso “of tho City of Council . Bluffs wminst the Kansas City, St.Jo & Council Bluffs Rallroad Company, In which they held that an act of the Legisiature of the Stnto of fowa authorizing this Rallroad Company to bo restrained from operating its rond beyond the State line, or beyond the City of Council Bluffs, was unconalitutionsl and void; that Congress alone, by the Constitution, had the right to regulate Inter-State commerce, and Yat cominerce by rail between States was Jater-State commieree, Thers nover hasbeon my iutination by any judicial tribunal to he contrary, to my kuowledge.”’ Tias not the United States Supreme Conrt, n the Granger und other decisions, con- irmed this prinefple tn its broadest sense?" It undoubtedly has; but the caso decided by tho Supreme Court which comes most dlrectly in point arose In Pennsylvania some ears ago, where the State authorities laid a x on Inter-State commerce, Ido not re- member the case by titte, but it illustrated fils principio very well.”?

Of course, it de- pends upon whether men of honor, and in- tegrity, and intelligence aro chosen. (Whether thls would bo the case or not, I think a Com- mission appointed of tho right kind of men, with such compensation ns would be ade- quate to thelr labors, would secure the peo- plo agalnst any such result. ‘The amount of salary of Commissioners named in the bill $3,500, was put in Jnndlvertoutly 1 think it toa Iittle. Itshould bent least $6,000a year.” “Do you hear anything of any ORGANIZATION AMONG THE RAILROAD CO3t- PANIES to dofent legislation whlch ls now proposed ?”” “Thavo heard of none, and Ido not be Heve thore Is any concerted netion for that purposes though thore isa powerful pressure rotight to bear by tho railroads against what is known as tho Reagan bill. ‘They place their opposition on the ground that the provisions of that bill will operate prejudt einily to railroads and stilppers. IT havo talked. witha good many railroad men in respect to that legisintion, and nll havo agreed with me that more good would come. to the people, that the railroad int torests a8 well, by the — appolntmen of a Commission to harmonize conflicting claims than by any other legislation that can be passed by Congress. do not belleve thoreisany disposition on the partofany one in Congress to ruin theso enterprises, oF to cripple them, and {f there Is allowed a rea- sonable rate for pansporting inter-Stato com- merce there will not be ruin or hulury, for that Is all they ought In any cvent to ask.” ‘*Ts not tho ex; which have undertaken to control railroads within thelr own boundaries, Important as showing the point wherein tho local Inws havo succeeded and wherein they havo of sone “Certainly, the experionce of theso States which have undertaken to regulate Intor- State commerce within thelr own Imits is of the wttmost importance.” : “Is not the power of National legistntion ‘ery comprehensibly defined in the several dee ston of the United States Supreme jour “Yess it applies to all commerce of every ebaracter that passes from one State into an- ollier; ang everything that is shipped by rail- road.’ **Should there not be somo legislation to provent CORPORATIONS FROM SETTING ASIDE OLD CONTRACTS when a new schedule ts adopted ?” “Y doubt very much whether Congress would hove the constitutional authority to interfere in contracts between Individuals, They may by Inw provide regulations for transporting commeree, fixing the rates, ote. and to provide penalties for its vinlation, but Idouht very much whether they have tl right to declare tho rallrond companies can- not set aside contracts. thoy (Congress) would lave no authority for doing so." “Isténot n facet that such is tho practice of many railroad managors, and that mor- chants submit to 1t rather than Ineur tho ill- will of those who are in a position to dis- eriminate against them ?” “*Thave no doubt from my observation that many mon often endure what they regard as impositions rather than to obtain the ill-will of those with whom they have the business of transporting morchandiso or commerce of any kind, and for this reason the railroad companies can very much facilitate or retard his shipments at thelr pleasure.” “ What othor remedy is thero than Natlon- al legislation 2” ‘he only remedy there Is for exorbitant charges, where great trunk lines pool their earnings over and aboye the National con tro}, Is legisintion by tho States themselves within ‘thelr own limits, which is proved to be ontirely inadequate, and must from tho vory nature of things fall short of tho relief that fs demanded.” “ Does tho Reagan bill make adequate pro- Maton, 10%, the changes in railroad sched- ules “ Tho only thing {t undertakes to regulate, as I understand {t, fs to prevent this thin ot pooling by rallroads, and also to, prohibit lr charging more for a short than for 9, long distance.” - “Under Its provistons, what can hinder railronds from changing thelr rates every fivo days if they choose to do so ?”* “There is nothing to prevent them from changing thelr rates, and thore fs nothing In that bil to prevent them from increasing their charges on the long distances,'nor to prscent & violation ‘of Its provisions. That. is, they can charge more fora short than for along distance, and thoy can increase rates for the long distance.” “Should not a National law y PROBIBIT ANY INCKEASE IN RATES OFTEN- ER THAN ONCE EVERY MONTH, r, say alx months, and then require at least thirty days’ notics ?"" “Theso frequent changes of rates without any proper notico aro certainly very preju- dicinl ta shippers; but the view [ tale of that subject is this,—that the only Chango thors ought to bo should bo mado by a Board of Commissioners, a Board of Commission. ors should mnke these changes, they would be Infrequent. There would bo no reason for frequent changes.” if ght not the date of change to be so defined that the railroads cannot take ad- vantage of tha close of navigation? “Yes, and they would be under the Com- talasion syatern T propose,” “ Which State seems to have been the most successtul In its Stato legislation on the rail- road question?” * Tam not fully advised Jn respect to that. Tho attempt of the Legtalnture in our own State proved to baagreat failure, though L do not know but the publio fared worse alnco tho Jaw hns been repealed. I think It quite probable that Wisconsin was us successful as any othor State, A great difilculty of re; Jation by a State is that ns soon aa this In State commerce goes beyond the line of a State, the Stato has nocontrol, To illustrate, frond earring conmerss from lowa inta Missouri would be governed by the Ineal rate of Lowa unt!l it reached tho Ine of Missourl, and then there would bo a suficlent amount added from there on to the amount which would havo been charged by tho shipper, it no State law had been Inexistence. If the States could all act In harmony, each for itself, so as to have one grand syatem,—that is, that the laws in one State would be in complete harmony with those of all others,— {t would afford relief, but that Is, of course, Impracticable and Impossible.” . “ How does your own bill to regulate com: merce COMPARE WITH THAT OF REAGAN?" ell, E think my bill superior to any other bill, but. that may be ow ug to my pars tlality tolt. My bill proposes to take hold of all Inter-State commerce, whether drawn for a long or a short distance; and the rates rall- roads are allowed to chores Tor the: SATS, or at least the mAximum rate: xed by a allroad Commission, ‘Those Conunissioners under the bill nro first to inform themsclves fully before noting, and the utmost authority consistent with the rights of persons and property Is given to this Commission to ex amino into and ascertain what is 0 reason- ablo rate of compensation, and, when St ha- so nacertalned and fixed that reasonable rats of compensation, it cannot go back of it to fix rite ruinons to rallrond enterprises nor oppressive to. slilppers. The bill provides that it Js to fix a trensnnable’ rate,—a rate that will compensate tho railroads for trans- porting, and that altall not be exorbitant to he shipper. ‘The bill also provides heavy penaltles for’ charging more than a freason- abla’ rato, ar tho rate fixed by this Commis- ston, and, when a railroad does 80 aver: charge, the Commission shall report it to the District-Attorney in the district and bnstitute suit in the name of the United States to recover the penalty for such viola- tlou of the rales of charges fixed by the Commission, and sich roads are Hable to the penaliles provided iy the bill for every such ylolutlon. If they violnte those rates twenty times in ono day thoy are Jinble to twenly different prosecutions, or they may all be §nined In the same ‘prosecution and the pen- allies recovered inthe same action. It also gives a remedy to the shipper should he ace proper to institute a sult, It seems to me that it would bo idle mud useless to have a Commission to Inquire Into these Instances of extortion or exorbitant charges, and yet give them no power to give relief. “Pherefare this Commission is empowered first to inqulre and next to apnly tho remedy, Without some such pivision, it scems to me that the Jaw would bo of Ittle value. What benefit would ft be to the shipper to have a Comnls- sion examing into and ascertain the extor- {ions that he has endured and ih provide no remedy? During a portion of the year, the people of Chicago who have commerce to ship to our seaboard have competition by water, They are not aliven up ete tirely to the railroads, but when you go west _ of ieago rent ” rivers, hier our the Misstssipp! antl the BLissonri, run south, and wenre left alone at oll seasons of tho year without any competition by water, “Tho railroads have pooled thelr earnings and have become ns one tine, with no remedy ta tho people, who havo to pay whatever they sec fit to exact, It is regarded by the people in the section where I live as A GREAT IMPOSITION that ought not to be endured when Conaress can give them the necessary remedy and re- lief, The system of charges adopted by rall- rons generally seemed to havo reference to the prices of produce, but no sooner was there an advance in those prices in the recent prosperous boom with which the country was blessed than nll our rallronds advanced their rates, and they were free to say, when inquired of why they had ndvaneed their charges, that produce had advanced, and that. therefore the praducer ought to pay mora; and in the Investigation before the Commerce Committee Ithas heen boldly adduced as a reason for Increasing rates that prices of produce had [nereased.” “How should such Commission bo ay pointed—by the President or by the courts?” “T think the Cammission fugit to be ap- noluted by the President of the United States and confirmed by the Senute. If the meu thus selected prove to be unsuitable, those interested have theirremedy. IL think we would be more likely to gut a good Board of Commissioners by that mode than if it were Ieft to the courts, Our courts would proba- Diy be influenced more by the Bar in tha se- Teetlon they would make than the President, and Jawyers are not properly the best judges as to who would he best qualified to act as Commisatoners, The relations between the rience of tho various States,- Bar and our courts are so close that I think it would bea power, atleast In the appolnt- magi of sttch officers if it wore Icft to the courts, “Of course the main object of tho bill isto find a remedy for railroad extortions. We havo now three trunk Mnes running, from Chieago to Council Bluffs through the’ Stato of Iowa,—the Chicago & Northwestern, tho Chicago & Rock Island, and tho Chicago, Burllugton & Quincy. Nearly all the corn, wheat, onts, cattle, and hogs mised in Town aro shipped over, one or the other of these lines to Chicago, and the prices charged are so exorbitant: that they nlmost amonnt to prohibition. Tho corn inerchant Is obliged to wateh his opportunity und take advantage of the market, and ship when ho ean, ‘Cho price charged for live stock Is so high that our farmers and the men with produce destined for market aro obliged take a very low price. Iowa Is Probably, in advance of ony other State In ho product of corn, and the grain-buyers estimate that the wheat crop amounted to 42,000,000 bushels, and for several years sho has been the leading State in producing fat hogs, and the number of enttle that is being shipped annually from the State js getting to be limmonse. As it is now, all the commerce thut fs entlrely inter-Stato Js dependent upon the rates the railrouds seo proper to exact. And for this renson the people of our State are almost allof them in favor of the passage of a Dill that will restrain tho railroad com- anics fram making unjust exuctlons and Imit then to reasonablo rates of compensa- tion.” EB.

Is Heard in Joyful Echo All Along the Linc, From Our Own Correspondent, No. 18 FrouteextH Street, Curcaaco, Jan. 22,—We have Just received from the Secretary of the Warsaw Iforticultural Society, Mr. J. T. Johnson, a full report of their annual meeting, held Dec. 8L in Warsaw. It was an Important meeting, and “liberal things” were planned for the future; and surely such zeal and enthusiasm will tend to proyoke others to good works. <All tho old officers made full reports; and the showlng was, that the Society was nevor in so flourishing a con- dition financially and every way. Tho following were the officers elected for the ensuing year: A. C. Hammond, Prest- dent; Joseph L, Piggott, Vice-President; James ‘I, Johnson, Secretary; and Charles ©. Hoppe, Treasurer. ©. N. Dennis, of Hamilton, was elected Secretary pro tem. Preceding the election the President read his annual address, in which, he gave a re- view of the year’s work, which showed ereditably for the Society, He sald: “Tho primary object of our Society was to encourage and foster the pinnting of com- merelal orchards and vineyards, and weare proud to know that within its borders aro some of the finest orcharis in the State; but wo have now reached a point {n our history when we shonld turn our attention more to the fruit-garden, floricultura, and home- ornamentation, and make an effort to lin- press upon the minds of plodding tollers on the fanin that work is not tho chicf end of Iife, but, while labor is honorable and praise- worthy, constant toll, without change or recreation, 18 degrading, dullg the Intellect- ual and spiritttal faculties, and degrades tho {nage of God to tho level of thebrutes, Change rests the weary body; recreation fives health and new life, new scones and wider observa- tlon, Increases knowledge and gives greater opportunities for usefulness, Somo ono Inns said that ‘Thero is not another man in tho world who obstinately puts necessary rest out of his life as docs the American farmer’; and we are compelled to confess that it is only foo irne. One of their greatest needs Is au oceasional holiday, when work and care should bo cast aside that thoy may strengthen and refresh themselves by real downright rest. They should now and then take thelr wives and children out of this treadmill round of life, and give them a glimpse of the ent, bustling, busy outside world. t jon board one of tho palatial stenmers that flont upon our great river, and turn. thelr faces southward, until they pass beneath the arches of tho great bridge at St. Louls; then step upon the train, and pass through tho darkness and damp, under tho city, out to the Union Depot, and witness the long trains that arrive and depart overy few minutes; then visit her Botanical and ZoGlogical Gar- dens, whero may be seen the wouders both of the vegetable and animal kingdom that have been collected from the four cor- ners of thoearth. Or take thom to the Gar den City, and stop forn day or two at ono of her palace hotels, Take them out for a sail on the Inke.

He was busily engaged In the transaction of busi- ness connected with the Commission, and could not spare the time fora regular ortho- dox interview, but at the earnest request of the reporter consented to answer “just one question;’? As n starter, tho reporter asked: “Wilt Tiendricks bo the Democratic nomineo for eee Mink: noty” was tho reply. “"Z think iink not,” was tho reply. nl Hendrisks! chances for tho Touitnatlon are “Aho, thon, will be the fortunate or un- fortunate Individual ?” “LT think that Tilden will be nominated, or, it he Js not, some one of fils choice,” “And why not Hendricks ?” “Aside from the feeling between the two men, Hendricks’ willingness to step forward and revive tho cry of fratid at the last elec- tion had done no good. It would hardly do to reverse the ticket, and put Hendricks at the head of it over Tilden. his nomina- tion is clalined as a question of justice under the claim of fraud, it would not do to givo him. the first place onthe ticket and leave Tilden ont. Again, his position on the finan- ¢fal question has not won him many friends. He is not recognized asn teader of cither side of the question. He has talked inflation, but has surrendered the lonterahip of the infla- tlonists to Voorhees, He has been jnaking speeches on both sides, and cannot bo sulc fo he elthor on the side of the Inflationists or hard-money men.

That Is, as far as Thaye been able to learn from personal ob- servation and from reading our papers, You probably saw a number of interviews with prominent mon of tho State upon_this subjuct published inthe Indlanapotis Jour- nal, they reflect the general sentiment of tho Republicans of the State, which was that it would not be good policy to nominate ran! “Who appears to be tho choice of the Re- publicans in Indiana?” “Well, Biatne seems to bo very prominent over thore.

THE BLOOD TAX AGAIN. Tho Result of Mr. Moore's Inveatiga= tion New York, Jan. 14.—To the Edltora of the New York Evening Post: Tho following paragraph appeared among your special Washington dispatches on ‘Tuesday: ji “Itis sald that tbe quinine lobby are at work to restore the duty on that drug, and that the price has been arbitrarily raised 8 or 10 per centum within a few days to give tho impression that the price has not been affected by the repeal of the duty.” Upon inquiries I found that the price of quinine was really advanced on Monday Inst (the 12th) 20 cents a bottle; and the price Is now §2.80an ounce, The prico in January, 1879, was §3,70,. Thero Is no actual reason to believe that this advance of 290 cents was done purposely to restore the blood tax on quinine. Tho pricoin England {3 11 shil- Iings and 6 pence to 12 shillings on ounce, and tho price $2.80 is really o Httle less than the English price, Had thero been a duty on quinine now the price would be at least $3.60. ‘There Is no more danger of restoring the duty on unin than thero is of restoring slavery. Watchful eyes are on all the movements of tho so-called lobby. There are in the United States but four manufacturers of quinine, while fn Europe there are thirteen, and the total product of quinine is just about in the proportion of number,—that is to say, the American prod- uct previous to July Inst was about four- seventeenths of tho entire product, With an open market and quinine on the free list, the combination of four aguinst thirteen Is sim- ply ridiculous. The value of guinine, as of all commodities, is controlled by tho great Taw of supply and deniand, What we really want and must hava Is a total repeal of the 45 per centum duty on all the sulphates of the bitter barks other than quinine, This relic of the fever blood tax Is sure to be abolished tsis session, 3 J. &.
