JupoE LEES RAILROAD BILL.-Ws
have not yet learned whether this i'm.
portant Bill was passed into a law
We listened with great interest TO the
debate on its provisions. in the Senate.
One feature Of the Bill was, that af.
tor the frs, twenty shares. every five
shares cast one vote. 1t also required
all railroads to be fenced, and prevented
R. R. Companies from purchasing lsnl
in the vicinity Of The road. It likewise
forbid companies or stockholders from
engaging in the manufacture Of cars. or
any of.he machinery for roads. 1t also
contained many other wholesome pro.
visions against tho farther asgressisn'
Of this syecies Of corporations upon the
rights Of individuals.
Mr.. Jewett, the Senator from Mus.
kingum, sustained all these restrictive
provisions Of the Bill with unmatched
eloquence, and invincible logic, while
they were opposed by Mr.. Follett, the
Senator from Licking. q,
Mr.. Follstt. Represented asdemocrat'
ic constituency. and was elected as q
democrat, yet he has shown much more
zeal in defending monopolies, than he
has done in advocating popular rights
Tho corporations seeing that democ'
racy If to be the ruling power. are nov
busy in pressing democrats into thei
service. just as the United States Banl
did in its day. But the people withou
distinction Of party. must be on thei'
guard, and push out Of their ranks al
such as have any affinity for corpora
tions.

Continued Scarcity Of Money-Pan.
les In the Money Markets.
Who Makes themI

II mechanic or tradesman wishes at
any time to borrow few hundred dol.
lars at any Of our banks, he is inform.
ed that "money is very tight" that they
have just been paying out large sums;
that the banks are the authors Of the
present pretended scarcity Of money
there can be no doubt. The banks con.
troll tho currency Of the country, and a.
their sole and only object is to make
the most money out Of the least sum.
their policy is to keep up rates Of dis.
count to the highest point. which they
can effectually do. Even now. no man
unless he is great and Rich can get any
money at the banks.
There have appeared no signs in the
financial armament to indicate com.
ing storm.
No comets trail with pestilence and
famine in its wake has swept through
tho air. No blight nor mildew has Wis.
tied the fertile and unweary fields. The
resoufses.of tho country are greater now
than at any former period.
Its agricultural yield is sufficient ia
nourish our own people, and sustain
the Democratic armies Of Europe. The
public works arc all productive beyond
former examples.
Individual State and Federal credit on
the best foundation, with some CSC, 900,
900 Of specie in the federal treasury

in Republic. Compare this condition
with that Of 1887, when We were import
ing our bread from Europe, when oul

themselves with interest and'decay, ant
no meaps to compls,s them; when feder
al and State stocks, and private credi
we're convulssd by the threat Of :repudi

Why this scarcity at a period so pros
porous, so full Of good and hopeful pro
mise! When every wind that sweep
over the hills and sighs through the val
lsys, declare a future prosperity an
greatness which the shifting manage
ment Of q thousand banks cannot gain
say.
