Following is Mr. Doane’s bill regu- latiag railrosd management in Ne- braska, which was passed by th> last logislature, and will remain the law until repsaled or ameuded by & subse- quent legislature: Be it enacted hy the State Legislature 1 of Nebraska: i Secriox 1. Every railroad corpora- tion shall give to all persons reasona- | ble and equal terms, facilities and ac- commodations for the transportation of any merchandise or other property of every kiod and description upon any railroad owned or operated by such corporation within this state,and | for terminal handling, the use of the | depot mmm ings and grounds of such nd at any point whro its ailrond shall connect with any other railroad, reasonable snd equal terms and facllities of inter- m:g., and shall promptly forward andise consigued or directed to over another road connecting vxth its road, seconding to tho direc tions contained thereon or accompany- the same. zo. 2. No railrosd compsny in the state shall heresfter charge, col- lect or receive for the transportation of any merchaudise or other propety upon the railroad owned or o hy such company within this state, & higher rate for such service thau was charged by such company for the ssme or like service on_the first day of No- vember A D. 1880, as shown by the published rates of such company. And mo_railroad company shail de- maud, charga, collect or reoeive for such transportation for any spesial dis- tance » groter sum than it demands charges, collects cr roceives for 8 great. er distance. Sec 8. No ratlroad company with- io this state shall grant or allow to any person, compaay or association upon the transportation of freight either directly or indirectly, any sscret rate, rebate, drawback, unressonable RAILKOAUS AND PUBLIC INTER- EST. The only point in this question fs this: are railroads public property, or are they the property of the men who have invested in and own them? I7 they sre tho one, Mr. Rosewater is if they are the other, we ars 8o eminent a democrat (snd, by the way, our friend takes natoral) to democratic authorty) — a demoorat es Jere Bisck, Mr. Rosewater's side of the ques- He says that there is one assertion ct lesst which cannot be de- nied, and that it is thi way corporations, heinc put into por session cf the public highways of the country, are bound to run the roads in the interest of the public, to whom they belong, and are publlc servants and trastees, " ete. I other the railroad corporation “for the pnrpmg of buildive end maintslning public _hughway.” g Judge Black on the one haud and asserty that “at the bottom of the subject there lies one queetion of mere fact which one man of common sense can decide for himself as well for another, if he will but open his ey~a andlook at the proof ” On the other hand stands Mr. Rosewater, and calls ““the attention of Omaha busi- ness men” to the absolute certalnty that there czn be but one side to_the question—and that is his sid: Re publican. Whether the railroads are public highways owned by the people or whether they sre solely the property of the corporations which manage them, makes not one whit of difference in the discnasion of the point at issue. The Republican is the firat railroad oreanin the country to virtually deny that ratlways are common carrlers and are bound by the sume laws which bind other corporstions or individa who transport goods for hire How does the law define a common carrter? “A common carrier,” says Chief Justice Olifford, is one who under- takes for hire to transport gonds for such as choose to employ him, from place to place.” The fact that rail road corporations are organized for this purpose of transporting goods for the general public makes them common carriers and amendsble to the laws which govern common car- riers. It does not mat‘er whether or not private Individuals organize and carry on the business of general freight and passenger transportation, as i done In this country, or whother as in Germany the government exercises partisl control over the lines. In both cases the laws hold that sach corporations or managemonts are af- focted by a public interest and that their duties belng of a public charao- acter they ere subject to laglslative rezulation and control. This position cannot be broken down. It is forti- fied by » chain of presedents from the time of Chief Justice Holt to the latest decisiou from the supreme bench of the United States. It is groundei in equity and strongthened by the re- quiremaents of public polics What then is the public inferest whis our laws inform wus affect the railroad corporations? It mes het the corporate franchises, and immanitles with which the been endowed were granted for a pablic purpose and for the public benefit It mesn: that cor s uoting as common carriers are bound #o transport the goo chastels of the public whenever offer. ed them, without favor, biss and dis- m. It means that the pro ver conduo: of ays is not simply & quostion hetween the carrier and the single individusl with whom the ocontract is made, but that, in the words of Justice Bradley, Gt is a estion of public interest on the one hand and of public du'p of the othar.” Oar laws permit of no parellel be- tween a private .merchant and a cor- poration acting asa private carrier. They recognizs that in the one case the public interest is exceedingly limited, and is protected by the lawa of trade, chief of which is the power of competition. Bat what protection s there for the public when corpora- tions brazenly and openly put them- selves above the laws of trade, com- bive to crush out competition, and even defy the powers which called them fato existence. It is on this account and from the knovledge of the results which would certainly arise from unbridled license on the part of common caerlers, that our lawe avow the public interestin the affairs of common ca-riers snd make them subject to legislation and res- telction for the public banefit. And so, Rosewater asserts that there can be but one side to the question that railroads are affected by & public interest, ~that sach a public interest demands that common carriers shall transport withot favor or discrim- ination the goods and chattels of the publis offered to them. Ho insists that monopolies endowed by the pub- lic with princely gifts of land and money, shall folfil thelr obligations towards the peopls of the country. He calls the attention of the business mec of this community to the brazen impudence of the Union Pacific mono ly_organ, which may be pre to be spesking for its master whln it declsres that the raflroads acknowledge no law above the law of f futerest, He warns them of the inevitable reeult which may be ex- pected n the case of every merchant or producer who refuses to bend bis weck to the monopoly yoke, should such an iofsmous doctrine that, rail- roads can carry freight for whom they please and refuse it from whom they please, for one moment be permittel to stand upehallenged d OUR county commissioners will soon be called uoon to cousider 8 numwber of plans for the new Douglas county allowasce for use of cars, or any un- due advaatege whatever, nor directly | or indirectly charge to or receive from | suy pereon ot peraons, or associstion | o corporation,any greater or less sum compensation o rewo-? - nes - conrt house.

THE GRANGER LAWS. A Reply to Touzalin's Rail- road Theories. The lowa Laws and Their Authors. To tae Fdlior of Tie (8 The Alliance has a vight to com. plain of unfair troatment—in not being Invited to participite in the free conference before the senate railroad committee on the evening of the Sth, The agents of the railroads were in- vired, and appeared and made an ex- parte statement of their side which Is based almost entirely on false prem- jses, and the representatives of the Alliance were left to obtain their first kvowledge of such a conference through the newspape Owing to delay of s alle’ vy, first informasion of this matter reached me only on the 18th. Mr. Touzalin's statements on some very Important points are so_at variance with the facts, that I beg that you will recur to the matter snd allow me to make a statement: Mr. Tovzalin basis nearly his whole argu- ment as to the falrness of rates on his Nebraskn roads upon ‘a comparison of what he terms tha ““Grangers freight rates” of the Towa rords Now, the important fact, which destroys entirely the foundation of Mr. Touza lin’s argnment is, that those rates are NOT GRANGER rites—that they are rates FIXED BY THE RAILROAD MEN THEMSELVES, entirely untrammeled by law, and that the Towa law as at pres- ent existing, DOES NOT ESTABLISH FREIGHT EATES AT ALL. The history of this Towa leglslation, with which I am perfectly familiar, is briefly as follows: A majority of the legislature of 1875 was elected by the gravgers, and it passed what was known as_the O'Donuell bill. This bill classified the roads on the basis of their gross earnings,and fixed a sched- ule of rates for each cl: This was attempt to enact such asched- Towa, and of course there were msoy imperfoctions n the Iaw The ond companies exaggerated these imperfections, and in their interprets. tlon aud apolication of the rates,made tho 1 inconvenient and unpopu- as pomsible. About this time— 1875 to 1817— he resction following the grange movement had set in, and public opirion had caased to be ¢ ncen.. trated upon this subject. The railroada took ad vantage of this fact, and elscted as many of their friends as possible to 1ha next Jegislature. At the session 1877 the O'Donnell bill was re- pealed, but not withcut a severe struggle on the part of <he people The vote was very close in the sonate; and the roade found it necesssry to res rt to their as means to obtain 4 majority. They hoaght ome hon orable senators This s no Idle statement—I know whereof I spesk, a0d can nsme the men. Thoush the roads could reassmably control this legislature, popular sentiment wis euch that they did mot think it ex pedient to repeal the O'Donnell bill without substitating eomething in its The result wae ratlroad Taw This is the law Touzalin mes fixes riios with which he compared the drawn by Ju ar Rapidy, ¢ ey of the that {t vt all on the basis of fixed the rates of passenger t thrae to four cents per mile: Libted unjust i made it commissioners t0 hear complaints of agerieved partier,make suogestions to the rosds, and report to the gsvernor; it made it their dutyto exsmiue at the railroad bridges of the state; it authorizsd hom to inqui acd report to the governor Towa law in a legal coriosity and i geniously illustrates the problem of how not to do it. cerely regret I hava not a copy of it to submit to your inspection. First, its affixed by sections. _ For instance, it provides that the raiiroads shall fur- nish ample facll ties, cars, etc , for the transaction of business This the roads are of course anxious to d the penalty for non-compliance severe. It prohibits discrimin: aud the penalty for non-compl very inadequate. But it ia not my purpose to discuss the law—only to show the falseness of the claim put forth by Mr. Touzalio that the Iowa rates are granger rates. I belleve tho law is better than none. Itis a law which the roads are willing to comply with, having made it themselves. It gives the commissioners advisory pow- ers, and there is not so much conflict between the roade and the people as there woutd be without the law. In addition to his claim that the lowa rates are granger rates, Mr. | Touzalin claims that the rates of hi Nebraska roads are iutrinsically low. Having deatroyed his comparsion, we have only his unsapported word for this statement. Itis trae? I have not thestock account of the O., B. & Q rallroad, with which the B. & M. in Nebrasks is consolidated, so as to kaow the extent of water in its stock. Bat ou Feb. 11th the C,, B. & Q. © mmon stock was quoted on the New York Exchangeat 127§. Mr. Touza- lin may goout of his way as far ns he pleases to account for the high price of stocks—the fact remain+ that thei pon tha monthly net receip 51 the foada. Bat taky M. Toum lin's own comparison with the Chicago and Northwestern, one of the Iowa pnol lines. If the rates ara proven by test to be low, I will give the baitle. This rosd, under Touzidin's ‘‘granger rates, ls eevning fifteen per cent. d un Mr. it siock is commen stock, aud as that this road is earning from thirty to forty per eeut. on its original in- vestment. Recur to Mr. Touzalin'a compacisn, and It will be seen that the B. & M. rate for sixty miles is ten tn twevty per cent. higher than the Northwestern, G> to the New York stock exchsngo and it will ba | fonod that thestock of theC , B. & Q is proportioustely higher cn the | The net reseipts of the C. in llinols show an_incoms 59,000,000 of | capital, which watered.

One of the principal impeachments of the Melroy club against the roads, in its call for tha slliance was that ‘‘by discrimina tion » zainst local points the roads pre- vented manufacturers and wholesale houses from being established in our midat, built up remote commeroia contres and compelled - the farmers of Nebraska to remain ex- porters of raw products to remote markets — to remain in poverty, caterers to common carriers and feeders of manufactarers ll)d operstives outside of our borders.” T invite the serious attention of far- sighted and reflecting men~ to this statement. Itis the whole question a natshell. Notwithstanding Mr. Touzalin's elezant expletive about local business, it is to Nebraska farm- era by all odds the most important part of the subject. There is no douht of the truth of the Melroy statement. —aunderthe operatlon of the 0'Donnell bill in Tows, which made the short haul possible, and enabled local trade to c-mpete with Chicago trade, whole- sale houses sprung up as if by magic at every convenient railroad cen- tre in tho st and when that bill was repealed they disappeared as rapidly as they came. Was there ever a people grew to wealth and pow- er by the exportation of raw products? We too, with our talented but erratic friend Mr. Touzalin, are believers in commarcial freedom, and we would like to see the restrictions upon our com- merclal freedom removed, 8o that we can expand as “‘a reading and think- ing paople” ouzht to expand. If Mr. Touzalin thinks such miserabla taffy a3 he offers to the beople who live in “many a_ shanty and many a sod hoase,’ 1 amount to anything ln tMl fight, he is mluhken “sound ceramon sense” and “elevnud standard of thought” eannot be fooled by any such nonsense. In_their be- half, as one of the men who “‘live ina shanty,” Icommend this subject of discrimination and all its attendant evils to the earnest consideration of all “thinking and resding men,” Mr. Touzlin enumerates the ar ticles that make up the bulk of eur railroad traffio eastward; they being wool, corn, wheat, cattle, hogs, etc. Our wool should be exported only in its manufactured form. Our corn should all be fed to our differont kinds of stock. Our wheat should all bo fed to the operatives of our fac- tories and shops; and its bran all rs- tsined at home to feed to_our mil cows, Our cattle- should be slaughtered here, the meat exported should be as canned meat, the hides should be tanned and manufactured here, the bones should be utilized here, and the offal and blood should be retarned to our soil. Oar hogs should bo slaughtered and _packed here; and our railroads should be em- ployed in_distribnting to the world car manufactured goods, and diffasing emong ourselves the elegancies and necessaries of civilized life. Mach has been and is said about our need cf capital and the danger that the mere agitators of this railrosd question_will ‘prevent money from coming within our bordars I know that capital is timid, snd will not go where it is discriminated agrinst. But tdo we want capital forl Ts it to railroads through a wilderness? To lay onr wealth away and return us destroy our commercial remote states st cur expensel 7o want capital to till our pr evelop onr water powers. to facture our wool, to diversify onr agri- culture. Givo us commercial freedom. o the shackles imposed by this litile thing of discrimination agaivst the short haul, snd such capital flow 1 vpon us sbundantly. any men insano enough posa that as e ariicles to be carried, facilities them will not bo abund. A to question, Touzalin's bugbear sbout the future action of states east of us isfood for ridiculs and laugh ter. The “political economy” of such men is a myth. They do not upder- stand its firet principles. Why, sir, this astonishing political economist, nctually threatens us with the danger of the cessation of the very toil which is keeping us a peoplo ia cbscurity snd poverty. re are other points in Mr. Tou- rticlo I would hike to disonss; Bnt T have already largely excoeded the timits T set for myaself, and I fear exhausted your patience, Yours truly, J.
