How much longer will the people of Towa and Nebraska and especially Omaha and Council Bluffs submit to the cutthreat exactions of the Mis- souri river bridge monopoly! Why cannot something be done to enforce the original bridge charter? When congress chartered the Pa- ciffc railronds in 1862 it was oxpressly provided that the Union Pacific road should connect with the Towa system of railronds at the point designated by the president as the enstern termi- nus. InDecember, 1863, President Lin- coln, by proclamation, loeated the east- ern terminus of the Union Pacific on the western boundary of the state of Towa opposite section 10. The authority to bridge the Mis- souri river between Omahaand Coun- cil Bluffs for railway traffic was vest- ed in the Union Pacific by its origi- nal charter, and the supreme court of the United States by its decision on the terminus declared the Missouri river bridge to be a part of the main line of the Union Pacific and required that bridge to bp operated as such. But while this bridge could and should have been: built under the original charter of the Union Pacific, the Credit Mobiliar builders of that rond conceived a scheme of highway robbery, whereby they not only built the bridge without expend- inv a dollar of their own money, but after pocketing a clean million of the construction fund, they established a toll gate between Iowa and Nebraska that has netted them enough within nine years to pay interest and princi- pal of the bridge bonds, and fully three times as much as the bridge actually did cost. By a supplemen- tary act passed in 1871, the Union Pacific railroad company was required to construet a railway and wagon bridge at Omaha. Authority was granted in this act to the corporation to issue bonds for the construction of this bridge, which were to be liquidated by bridge tolls. There is not the remotest doubt how- ever that this authority to collect special bridge tolls was intended ex- clusively to cover tolls to be exacted for travel and trafic over the wagon bridge. The eredit mobilier builders of the bridge isstied $2,600,000 of bridge bonds, upon which the annual iuter- est is $200,000 and the sinking fund 64,000. Although this bridge cost less than a million and a quartorand could to-day be replaced for half a miliion the people have paid more than a half a million per annum for its use ever since it was built, A very low esti- mate would place the total earnings of this bridge since its complotion at five million dollars, and yet the cor- morants who have exacted such op- pressive tolls from their patrons have never complied or tried to comply with the letter and spirit of © the bridee charter. They have mnever built a wagon bridge, a8 they were legally bound to do and there is not a reasonable doubt that they have not only forfeit- ed their charter rights, but could be compelled to disgorge every dollar they have exacted for the transfer of freight and passengers above the mileage rate, And now we ask the business men of Omaha and Council Bluffs how much longer will you sub- mit to this outrage! How much longer will you allow these highway- men to keep their embargo on the commerce of both cities, and for that watter the whole upper Missourivalley? How much longer will you allow these pirates to play dog in the man- ger and obstruct every effort to estab- lish a wagon bridge, pontoon bridge, or even a rope ferry across this great ver! Last year, when an enterpris- citizen, lawfully authorized to run a ferry betweon Omaha and Council Bluffs, made the effort to accommo- date emigrants and afford our mer- chants a cheapor transfor for mer- chandise, the bridge monopoly re- requirements of the sorted to every conceivable trick to destroy this competitor and finally they sailed a rival steam ferry ynder false colors, to break down the rope ferry. This same cutthroat policy is about to be inaugurated again this fall, No sooner has Mr. Porter made preparations for reopens ing his forry than the U, P, steam ferry is gotting ready to head him off, Is it not high time for Omaha and Council Blufts to join hands and con- centrate their capital and influence to destroy this bridge wonopoly. by establishing a free steam ferry, to be followed by the construction of a tem~ porary free bridge for ths winter and & pontoon wagon bridge next spring, A ferry boat @un be chartered for a few months at a moderate outlay and the temporary ice bridge will pay for itsélf in the reduction on fuel and other commodities. Give us a free ferry and free wagon bridge for one year and you will smash the bridge monopoly or compel the U. P, to build a wagon bridge and reduce the tolls to roasonable rates; Wirn all the ingenuity of her great inventors this country is far behind Europe in the use of electricity.

The fever heat of speculation in the east caused by the abundance of un- invested money is attracting the at- tention of cautious financiers. Mr. John Thompson, the oldest member of the banker's association, and presi- dent of the Chase National bank, pre- dicts another panic as the result of the reckless expenditure of capital on wild-cat schemes, and warns his as- sociates of an approaching crash, the signs of which he declares are numer- ous, The one indication which he considers especially alarming is tho number and magnitude of new enterprises involving the issue of millions of dollars of obligations which must be met in the future. Railroad and mining schemes are springing up by the hundreds, many of them entirely fictitiousin theprom- ises which they hold out for any speedy returns on the investment, but all calling for vast expeaditures of money for their development. Itisa well known fact that every recurring panic in our country has been pre- ceded by just such a period of inflated speculative enterprises, and the fact that negotiations and issues of stocks and bonds are four times; what they were in 1873 is sufficient cause for the note of alarm which Mr. Thompson has sounded. All oyr financial ex- perience shows that every season of prosperity ends in a general pame, £ large portion of our capital is con- fidence. Statistics show that fully ninety-five per cent of our business is dono on paper tokens, checks, drafts, notes, letters of credit &c., independ- ent of the nationul banks and the legal tender notes. Commercial con- fidence makes these tokens a perfect substitute for moncy but when that confidence is once ‘shaken contraction follows and the crack comes. According to Mr. Thompson that point is near at hand and he advises investors to guard their assets in preparation for its ap- pearauce. Mr. Thompson's advice is timely but his gloomy view of our immedi- atg financial future is scarcely wars ranted by history or the present state of affairs. It is little less than eight years since our last great commercial depression, Experience shows that the period of the recurrence of panics in this country is about twenty years as against ten i Europe. The panic of 1817 was followed by that of 1837, and that by the great crash of 1857. The war and tho abundance of irredeemable paper currency proba- bly hastened the panic of 1873, which in the ordinary course of speculation we would not have had until 1877, American speculators scem to possess a greater staying power than those of any other nation, the cause for which is probably to | bo found in tne rapid increase of our population by immigration, the settlement of new territory and the greater number of productive fields which that new terrtory offers to capital in this country. The fact that money is still obtainable at such o low rate of interest is a strong indi- cation thav speculation has not as yet seriously affected the Jending capacity of our capitalists Heavy crops, re- munerative returns of mercantile and manufacturing investments and a con- stant flow of money into this country from Eurcpe has kept our money market casy and given unlimited re- sources to the borrowihg farmer. Still, with all our resources,' Mr. Thompson'’s warnings have a basis of truth behind them. Our speculators are daily sinking capital in mines and mills and railroads and are flooding the market with securities which will require years of prosperity to make them profitable investments, We are making noney rapidly, but we are |y spending it equally as fast. Luxury and extravagance are gaining ground, not only in the large cities but throughout the country. Ourimports of silks and satins, ofe laces and bronzes and jewelry from abroad are much greater than they werebefore the panic of 1873. There must be an end tosuchand extravagance that end is commercial distress and financial ruin to thousands. The seeds for the next panic are being actively sown and whether it comes sooner or later it is likely to prove, as Mr, THoMPsON predicts, such a one as the United States has never bofore experienced. — Tukxk is trouble brewing in Cali- fornia.
