A POWER GROWN UP IN THE STATE
GREATER THAN THE STATE IT

A POWER GROWN UP IN THE STATE
GREATER THAN THE STATE IT
SELF.
From the n. y Herald.
Such was the expression of Governor
Palmer, Of Illinois, in his message to the Le-
gislature on the 4th of this month. The Gov
ernor was referring to the control OF the rail
road corporations of the State, and in that
connection made the above remark, saying,
however, that to say the State has not po ger,
acting through the appropriate legislative
department as determined by the constitution,
to control the management of railroad corpo-
Tations, is to assert there has grown up
power greater than the State it1elf. He be-
lieves the State has the power to regulate the
rates imposed by railroads as common car
riers, so as to prevent extortion, oppression,
or unj ust discrimination against or in favor
of localities or individuals, or to investigate
their management and prevent the employ
ment of vast sums of money under their con-
troll for purposes of corruption. No doubt
the separate States have this power
over railroads within their limits, and
we believe the Federal Government has
similar power over the great lines that
run through the different States under the
clause of the Constitution that gives it power
to regulate commerce among the several
States. These railroad lines are as much the
arteries of commerce among the States as the
great lakes, the rivers or the sea coast. But
what is the use of talking about State Gov
ernments controlling the management of
railroads? The railroad magnates can buy
up almost any of the State Legislatures or
Governments. The railroads are really
power greater than the State itself. 1t is a
matter of doubt even whether they cannot
control Congress or the Government at Wash
ington as well. The time is coming, and not
far off, when the Federal Government will be
called upon imperatively by the people to
protect them from the exsctious and tyranny
of the railroad corporations and to control
these powerful institutions. Governor
Palmer has sounded the note that will awaken
attention and opposition to dangerous and
oyerbearing monopoly

LOW WAGES FOLLOW A LOW TARLFF.


From the Baltimore American.
Continually we meet sectional prejudice
from our growing sister States of the West
supported by an occasional throb of disap-
probation from the reconstructed section
that, being agriculturalists and producers of
the precious metals, to support a protective
tariff is direct opposition to their immediate
interests.
How vain to speak of sectional interests
when everything advantageous to one por-
ton of this glorious Union in so extended
a sense is necessarily so of the whole!
What makes the great inducement to poll
tical leaders of the outs to seize on this sub
ject for agitation to further their ends is,
that it involves questions and principles of
which none but the initiated few are at all
cognizant. Those governing the balance of
trade, supply and demand, capital and labor,
as well as the mediums of exchange and legal
tenders. Naturally the plausible side of any
question that we do not thoroughly under
stand is the one we accept when ingeniously
presented to us.
If foreign manufactures are admitted duty
free, the low rates of labor in European
msrts enable the foreign producers to furnish
them at much lower prices than any of our
manufacturers can possibly compete with. OF
course, the result would be paralyzing of all
manufacturing interests at home.
The millions now ngregated at the great
centres in such case would be compelled to
disperse through the rural districts in search
OF subsistence; and the great markets for
grain, beef, ETC., would be destroyed. OF
course we are told that the foreign market
will be open-so it is to-day, so it would be
with even higher duties England, Germany,
and France will never be so magnanimous
towards this country as to purchase from us
articles they do not require, and if they want
breadstuffs to-day they will buy them; and
thus enable us to preserve the equilibrium of
trade.
If we were purchasing from them thou
| the balance of trade must necessarily be
against us, and that balance is to be continu-
ally made up by specie exports.
The failure Of remunerative employme ment
for capital reduces all demand for labor, and
as the law of supply and demand is self-act-
ing, the price of all labor must necess sarily
fall Then, with contracted currency, the
result of specie bass-to which we are i'm
mediately forced by our heavy dealings with
foreign markets and continuous drainage of
specie, caused by the excessive balance of
trade against us-we are left without capital,
without a currency, without employment for
our many stalwart forms, and without bread
for the many hungry mouths. Ultimately,
commercially and nationally bankrupt, with
out friends we had almost said without foes.
But, alas! the buzzards always seek the car
case.
The natural opposition of tyranny to free
dom would, of necessity, bring down upon
us, like birds of prey, all the ruling powers
of Europe. Then, America, the beacon light
to which the oppressed of the world have
ever looked with hope for the future, would
be reduced to a third-rate power.
