FORTUNESIN CONGRESS.


One OF the most striking facts con.
nected with the history OF Legislation
during the last fourteen years of Re
publican rule in Congress, is the great
number Of fortunes acquired by mem.

We're merely professional politicians,
and had no other business to improve
their material condition.
There is but one possible explana-
ton for this sudden acquisition of
wealth, and 1t is to be found in the
enormous grants of public lands to
railroad corporation; immense subsi-
dies OF money in various forms spe-
cial Legislation for the creation of huge
monopolics; the passage of fraudulent
claims great appropriations for cor
rupt Rings; Credit Mobilier jobbcry 4;
Pacific Mail stock pools, and other
methods, by which the treasury was
robbed and the people were crushed
down with ruinous taxation.
Chairmanships and places on the
leading committees which control the
tariff, banking and currency, public
lands, judiciary, appropriations, Paci-
fic railroads, Postofiice, army, navy,
claims, patents, District of Columbia,
and others OF less Importance, but still
available for venal uses, were not
sought for the honor they conferred,
but almost solely on account of the
profits TO be derived form the abuse of
these trusts.
They became objects of bargain and
sale, of partisan arrangements and of
caucus spoils. Presidents, and direc-
tors, and stockholders of banks, rail
roads, and other corporations, not only
shaped the legislation affecting their
own interests, through the committees
over which they presided and held in
hand usually by majority of three
iourths, but they openly advocated
and voted for these schemes, in def
ance of all parliamentary morality and
decency.
Tho Credit Mobiier investigation
revealed the system of rascality which
prevailed in Congress. Astounding
as it was, by exposing the shameless
venality Of the most accepted Repub-
lican leaders, who preached piety and
lectured on morality while in the very
act Of stealing, it deserves to rank us a
mere trifle compared with the whole
