Railroad men have been looked upon
with a good deal of suspicion in Wash
ington, for some years, and a respectable
Congressman seen with one OF them too
frequently on the Avenue, or worse, IN
the Hobbies, or on the floor OF the
House, must not be surprised if, some
fine morning, he finds his name mem
toned as a .conspirator with his X.
r. friend in some lett-handed operation
for stealing land from the people, or
defrauding stockholders. Better, near
", be seen with faro dealer. The
prejudice against railroad men is especi-
ally intense among those who have lost
heavily by them. There is, of course,
good deal ofinjustice IN this whole
sale indiscriminate denunciation. In
itself, railroad may he as good an IN
vestment as English c0nsolS or United
States bonds. But railroads, ordinarily,
are subject TO constant change OF
management. Their managers DO not
always become such, through any speci-
al fitness of experience, ability or
character. They have the power to use
the road for their own private enrich
ment. and to the detriment of the
bondhoders and stockholders. The
enormous fortunes thus made by rail-
road administrators have led TO the
creation of new roads, merely to afford
opportunities for using the money Of
investors for private advantage; and
the excess Of these operations found
expression in the numerous suspen slons
of railroad companies in 1878 and 1874.
Now, when operations of this kind
have proceeded so far as to procure,
misapply, and waste, hundreds OF mil
lions of the earnings Of investors, 1t Is
not surprising that people should begin
to inquire what degree OF confidence
they are justified in reposing in corpor-
ate Investments They have been able
to solve the question in respect to Amer
icanc corporations and English and Con
tinental joint stock institutions; and they
have reached the conclusion that the
corporate principle and the joint stock
principle have been SO misapplied and
so grossly abused that the issues OF such
associations are not entitled to conf
dence, except, perhaps, under the most
unmistakable guarantees. This is the
main secret Of the stagnancy of the
worlds money markets and it also, to
a large extent, accounts for the stubborn
depression OF business. Is.
