CoRpoRATIoNs.-The New Hampshire
Argus is now publishing series of very
able editorial articles on the subject of
of corporations. The following brier ex
tract from the last number, defines very
aptly what corporations are, under our
existing laws.
"Corporations are machines by which
their proprietors save the prfls, if any
are made, or throw the loss of upon in.
nocent persons; if they fail. They are a
kind Of insurance company, compelling
the community to insure, beyond the
amount OF their capital stock, all the los :
ses the company may sustain, IF by bad
management they run into debt beyond
their means to pay, the public must bear
ths excess OF loss. If their officers and
managers prove to be rOgues and rascalS,
as is too frequently the case, and run a,
way with the money, or embezzle it, the
people must bear all the consequences of
such conduct, above all the capital stock.
Is there any justice in this"
