Tur remarkable debate in the Brit- 1eh house of commons, over the int:o- duction ot & coercion bill for Ireland has ended, and Mr. Forster's bill Lne been introduced and will doubtloss guin » epoedy pasage. Such obstruc tion as has been practiced by the bome rulers, during the debate upon the motior, is only possible in a par- lismentary code when the moving of Tue right of the national and state governmeuts to regulate the railroads is fully established by the declsion of the supreme court of the United States and fuily sustains the position taken by Judge Black in his recent letter. From the tenor of the reply of Hon. Geo. Ticknor Curtis, addressed to the president of the Erie railway, it would appesr that he (Mr. Curtis) had notread the above named deci- wlon of the court. — Tre New York court of appeals has decided that United States bonds are exempt from taxation only on their and that their preminm valae, o excoss of value above par, is not 80 exempt, and may be taxed by the local authorities. Many of our western boards of commissioners have not heard of this decision, slthough it was made over a year ago, in the case of the Manhattan Life Insurance Com- pany, when the court of appeals af- firmed the action of the tax commis- sioners fn subjecting the premium value of the bondstc taxation. — Tue repablicans of Virginia do not despair of yet becoming mssters of the political situation in the Old Do- minlon. Congressmsn Josaph Jor- geasen, in a recent Interview, said that his party polled 81,000 votes at the presidential election, and, from present Indications, have a fair chance of electing a republican governor next Docember. At a meeting of the re- publican executive committee, held in Richmond Iast week, they deter- mined, with bat one dissenting voice, 0 malntala the organization of the party, and to propose such an honora- ble settlement of the state debt ae wonld be satisfactory alike to the cred- itors and the people of Tex house committee of elections Bave done anact of very tardy justice in reporting by sn unanimous vote that Col. Horatlo Bisbee is entitled to the seat in congress from the Second Florida district, which, during all that, has been occupied by Noble A. Hull. Bitbee is & republican aod Holl & democrat. Hull was retarned as elected in 1878, the vote standlog, for Hull, 940; for Bisbee, 9,628, showing on the face of the re. turns a majority of 12 for Hall. But there was unmistakable evidence of gross fraud and intimidation, and Colonel Bisbee at once commenoed a contest. The charges were all clearly established before the commitiee over ® yearago. The next thing in order will he the voting of $10,000 pay and mileage to Hull for services which he never bad the slightest shadow of a |& *ight to perform. report shows that the cstimate in cor- p irchasers of a four per cent. bond wio are ready and willing to pay a heavy premium for so secare an in- Six hundred and odd mil lions of bonde, besring intorest at & aad 6 por cent., can now be taken up by the treasury department and re- fanded at 3 or 33 per cent., thus effecting an annual saving of about $12,000.000 in interest and placing our nat: nal cradit on a par with that of the best in the world. Such an outlook Is most pleasing for sll Ame- rlcans, but Secrotary Sherman in a receut spoech at Boston takes a etill ‘more encouraging view cf the nationsl fnances and estimates that in ten years tme th debt may be reduced to $1,000,000by theapplication of sarplus revenue to its gradual extinguishment of the] principal. This woald re- qulre the payment of §900,000,000 in ten years or an average reduction ~f $90,000,000 a year. This s u con easily be obtained through the reduc- tion of interest on the five and six per ocent. bonds, the increase of reverue from the growth of the country and from the improved condition of our finances and business. —_— Tie cradeness of the granger's no- tions of political economy, is very much like those of the man who killed the goose that laid the golden oggs. In strangling the railroads they are sare to choke themselves.— [Herald The Herald's idess of political econ- omy differ widely from those of the Nebracka farmers because they were lean=d in a different school. The ““Herald's" views on the railroad quee- tion have boen crystalized by bank checks and focassed through job pri ing contracts. They natarally lean in an oppostte direction from those of the furmers which have been mouldec in the press of extortionate chargss and developed from reflection upon the outrageous discriminations and oppres elons which they have suffered at the hands of the monopolies. If thay are crude, they have, at least the merit of being honest snd unpurchased. The Herald, in company with other monopoly sheets throughout the coun- iry, is trying to spread the impression that the farmers of the west are unit- ing in a raid ZWrporate capital, whose object is to amper the effctive operation of the railway lines, and the outcome of whigh will undoubt- oily be to check farther railroad ex- tension and prevent the development of tho state. Such gross mistato ments of the position of the anti- monopolists should not be permitted to 2o anchalienged. Tho people of Nebraska demand only what has been demanded, and partially secured, in other sections of the country They insist that railroad corporations shall besubjoct to tho laws under whichthey were created and operate. They de- mand that as common carriers each and every shipper, merchant and farmer shall receive just, undisorimin- ating, and fair treatment at their hands. They farther expect and in- slst that only reasonable tariffs, both for passengor and freight transportas tion, ehall b» exacted from the people, and that the labor of the country, the sole producerf wealth, shall not be taxed to the verga of extinetioa in ord- er to §ill the coffers of the railroad kings, and to pay inflated divldends on watered capital. The “‘grangers’ fnslst tha » railroad go all conr fine hereel. .. hatchirg her own cgga, withont monopolisizg the nests of every other bird in the country. They demand that haviog ob- tained their franchises from the people they ehall not be blinded to overy interest, but That of their own bank account and that hav- ing obtalued the power to ruin or build up communities at ploasare they shall not be permitted to exercise that power for purposes of gain or revenge unchecked by the higher will of the people of the coun- trv. Finally the “‘granger” is deter- mined that the people and not the rallroads shall rule this nation. They are using all their efortsto prevent the usurpation of the government of this republic by a coterle of millionaire monopoly kings who bribe legislatures, elect senators for their personal ends and throw theif gold in the houses of congress to balk all attempts for the relief cf the country from their iron rale. The gravgers are not trying to kill the railroad zoose, but they are at- tempting, and we believe succes: fally, to make the goose understard which is master and which is goose. Dr, Miller, a¢ uzual, takes the part cf the goose, and no oue is better fitted for the role. vestment. Trz house<f commons has discos- ered that Parvell is a Biggar mgn than Wm. E.

St Louls Repuniican, The report cf the Illinols railroad commissioners, just made, imparis ad- ditional interest to the Proporition in the Illinois legiclatare to derive all the state revenues from thls class of corporations—the railways, the tele- graph and the express companies, 'he propotition is that these shall pay the siato trensury three per cent, on their gress ~arnings, and it is esti. mated that the aggregate amount would eatixfy all the wants ( f the state overament, leaving the people freo | Tom state taxer. The railroad ty ailroad companfes in Illinois last | year were $140,849,675.- Three per cent. on this sum would be $4,222, 000 a year. The late auditor's report shows that the total cost of the state zovernment for two yosrs was $60,184,- 000, or a little over $3,000,000 a year. The proposed tax on tho railroads alone, therefore, would farnish moro than the amount ¢f rovenue the state requires. If the object of the bill is merely to secure enough rovenue for the wants of the statc, the telegeaph and cxpress companies may be ex- cloded and the whole amount collect- d from the railron VAN WYCK'S VOLCANO.

So long us they cannot abeolutely sweep the field there will be & certain line toward which prices continually tend undor the influence of the natural laws of trade, but there {8 o considerable margin on either side over which they can be forced. Tho exact price to bo paid for cotton by a New England mill when it is wanted for consumption does not depgnd so much on the relation (f supply to demand as on the figure which the powerful apeeu- lators are able to fix for the time being for their own profit Their sdvan- tage would be sufficiently great if they were engaged in the legitimate busi- ness f buying and selling at natural market rates, but when they buy enormonaly on gargins and give or- ders for the purpcse of putting the supply uoder an embargo, they com- pel others to pay a price which is de- tormined by no prineiple upon which definite calculations can be baséd. If the eocialistic spirit should be- come widely developed in this coun- try, 1t will not be due se much to the fact that capital has a tendency to in- creass in the hands of those who em- ploy it and to build up lmgo fortunes as to the manner in which it is ueed to crush competition and to draw a tax from the trade and industry of the people for the enrichment of those who uaite their foroes to extort profits for themaelves which are not the I giti- mate increment of capital. An arbi- trary increase of the rates for trans- ot of the tolls of sending telegraphic meassges by a small frac tion_ may result in levyirg a tribute on the industries snd trade of tho peo- ple amounting to wmany mil- llons in the aggicgate. The samo is true of a factitious rais- ing of tho price of a great commodity by forcing the market by means of combinations to control the supply. The many suffer, the opportunitics of small tradesmen are eramped and tho faw grow enormously rich, 1t would be dificult to devise means to fore- n, but there are othera bo brought under re- strictions which would at least cartail their power for evil.

Almost every conzolidation and com- binaiion is attended by this process, that a large vart o of stock remains in the hands of those who manage the operation. A large share of some of the great fortuncs which are used in controlling business in some of its branches has been made in this way. It has been drawn from the resourees of the people directly to the pockets of men who have given no { equivalent for it. i On many of the transportation lines | of this country rates are charged which { yield a moderate dividend on inflated capital, but which represent an enor- mous profit on actual outlay. A limit. ation of the dividend is no remedy for the evil, 80 long asstock watering in any form, and underauy guise, I por- mitted. Legislation in one state is not wholly effestive so lorg s another can be resorted to for a franchiss | under which the operation is possible. § Tt ovght to bo headed off in every direo- | Soit1s with discriminations in charg- ing forlike servica and other abuses of corperate privileges whereby the tend- ency to a monopoly of coutrol is in- | creased. The remedy for the evil, in order to be entirely cffective, must proceed from an authority as wide in its jurisdiction as the field in which the operations to be regulated are c: ried on. With our composite govern- ment it is necessary that legielation should correspond with its character. Regalation within states must proceed from state authority, and where the interest to be regulated Is not limited by the boundaries of a single state, nothing but national authority can effectually reach it. The federation of railroads can be subjected to law only by federal authority. That there is one state in the Union where the *elegraph consolidation can not teke place, is a declaration with which The Harriaburg Patriot and The Lancaster Intelligences lead off. The constitutlon of Pennsylvania says that “no telegraph company shall consoli- date with or hold a controlling lntor- eat in the stocks or bonds of any other telegraph company owning a compet- ing line, or acquire, by purchase or otherwise, any other competing line of telograph.” The American Union cawe into existeuce aince this conati- tution was adopted, and, so far as it is concerned, neicher it uor ita, successor corporation can put in the tAread-bare and exploded plea of vested rights, as agaiust the commonwealth After the Bettle.
