The preservation of this property from waste snd destruction, 80 that their creditors, as well as the other parties to this action who may have Heng thereon, may gathtr some frutts from this litigation, is vital to the rights of all interested, and readers it, in my opmion, the imperative duy of this Court to place ite shield of proiection aroand it.

The remarks are applicable to nearly all reports that are continually thrust upon the public notice by raliroad managers. It has become a disearo made specia) end ia jeading to resuits that will sooner or later Good the coun. try with millions of worthless rage, from which there Hl be no relit To look back for Ove short years and add up the sume which have been silentiy and eceretly pushed into construction account, for the purpose o! issu bg & report which ehould show ‘net carniogs’’ equal to a dividend of four or five per cent, would exhibit a resuls #0 astounding that it would hardly be credited. The fact ‘would be made aprarent, thata few years ore devoted to such practices would bring the entire railroad fabric to the ground, and scatter their obligations to the winds, ‘and yet im the face of such « fac: almost dally established, some of our papers, devoted to the interests of these pub Mc robbers, do not hositate to invite the community put their money in the bonds aud shares of thete corpo- rations, even holding out the hope tbat prices equal to hose which ruled in former years, when the whole sys tem Was an ¢ periment, and when tbe property counted by hundreds of thousands instead of hundreds of mi)- Hons, would soon again be realized. Thee organs have ‘but one motive in all this, which is to stimulate spe ruin tion and produce an exparsion tm prices, Tuey do simply ‘the work of their employers when they exercige their ialu ence for such purposes. The prices of former yearsaro the result of a belief thatthe railroads of the country wili yield large returns to the stockholders.
