Secretary Bristow gives stronger
evidence day by day of his eminent
fitness tor the responsible position
which he occupies in the Cabinet.
The position required a man not only
competent and honest, but man
who was not afraid to do his duty-a
man of nerve. It win be remembered
that the Government gave immense
subsidies to build the Central and
Union Pacific Railroads. not only in
lands, but I'm bonds which commanded
the cash. The Government subsidies
thus given built the roads-in tact
the officers and projectors OF those
corporations accumulated immense
fortunes out of the Government sub
sides given to build these roads. In
return for enriching these men. and
giving them a magnificent railway
out OF which to coin millions in the
future, Government asked that the
roads should make annual reports Of
their earnings. and should pay into
the National Treasury five per cent.
of their gross receipts. This these
''bloated monopolies'' utterly refuse
to do. They not only decline to
make any report, but refuse to, pay
over dollar. But then you see Sec
retary Bristow don't propose to stand
any 'sfoolishness' from these kid
gloved millionaires. Upon their re-
ftlsal to make the returns required by
law, he took their rose-colored reports
to the, stockholders, and in a jiffy fig
-ured up their annual receipts, and
from these made out his little bill oi
three million one hundred and forty
eight thousand dollars. due the Gov
-ernment by these railroads, and sent
it in by his messenger, and demanded
the money They still refused to pay,
but offered to make out their reports,
which the Secretary declines to receive
Secretary Bristow proposes to sus
these arrogant and purse, proud mo-
nopolies for the money they owe the
people, and compel them to come
down with the kale seed. This /!
the kind of man Bristow is, ant
he's the man for MS. Let a uniteG
people stand by our Secretary, ant
aid him in compelling these wealthy
and law defying corporations to pay
every Earthing they owe. Bully 70
Bristow, say we.
