THE TEL. GRAPH MONOPOLY AND
THE N MERCHANTS OF THE COUN-


The impositions upon people and news
papers prncticed by telegraph lines become
intolerable. However lmpolitic the addi-
ton of anoiher bureau to the many
that invest the central government with
dangerous patronage and power, public ne
cessity may compel popular assent to the
reduction of burdens imposed by the terri
Bile corporation that manages the telegraph
lines of the United States. In Canada tel
egraph companies have a common rate of
twenty five cents for message to any part
of the country, while in the United States
the rates are three or four times higher.
In Canada the different lines were consoli
dated at their actual cost; in the United
States the lines were consolidated at fanci
full prices, und the people are made to pay
dividends on this watered stock. The
Western Union Telegraph Company has
bought up every possible competing line
and destroyed every competing corporation.
1t has issued stock and bonds in payment
for these, and has paid by declaring stock
dividends. The nominal capital of the
company has thus become enormous. In
order to make dividends of six per cent.
on tins fanciful cost and valuation of the
property, twelve cents must be added to
the actual cost of each of seventeen mil
lion messages of ten words. But the stock
is all water and cost the holders nothing.
The following statement tells the whole
story: Bonded debt, Sc. 41l, 800; rentals
of leased lines capitalized at seven per
cent. (estimate), S., 500, 900; capital stock
outstanding, $50, 1877. ATS; total stock and
debt, $45, sos, S35. Now, it would cost to
reproduce these lines as follows: Seventy
two thousand eight hundred and thirty
three miles of wire and poles at eighty dol
lars per mile, So, $40, $40; one hundred and
six thousand four hundred miles extra wire
mile, So, 6G0 600; total cost of reproducing
the lines, So 1856 $40. Here, then, is an
aggregate of $37, 312, 1875, represented by
stock ami bonds outstanding, beyond what
it would actually cost to-day to reproduce
the entire Western Union Telegraph sys

Gasi,ring is broken down, even, by the
pressure of. hard times, it is insutfcr2blt
that the telegraphic monopoly persist in ex
actions such as are endured by the people

not involved, it is still painful to think that
the.credulous and ignorant of our Northern
fellow cOuniIymen are made to believe that
we are the most brutal. depraved and
murderous race that God suffers to exist.
Everywhere, especially in Indiana, speeches
are made designed solely to exAsperate the
North against the South. In more eastern
S eates there is more moderation. The adj
mixture Of Southern andEastern populations
is more perfect and the two peoples have
more thorough comprehension of each Others
virtues and wees. The great exposition,
though the muses. of Southerners are too
poor to expend money in jpurncying over
the continent, has wrought most bentticent
political results sourhern people have
traversed railways and filed h1tels and re.
cited plain facts by their conduct and words
everywhere in the East; but Indiana and
the West, whenever Morton and Blame and
Logan and their countless imiLators have
spoken, believe that the great rebellion"
still RACES and that Africans are shot down
like wild beasts every hour, everywhere in
the South. Articles aimed at Governor
Coke's administration have transtixed Til
den and the lying. relentless New York I lines
copies with uVidity from the Galveston
Neles stories told of laWless deeds often
done along the l4wless frontier. These re-
citals are transformed and perverted until the
North believes that q negro falls whenever
pisto: cracks and the negro, in the eyes
of Radicalism, is the Union. 1t results from
these facts that the greater the number of
people going up from the South, to repre-
sent the SIuth and its morals and opinions
in the East, the better for the Democratic
party and the better for the whole country.

of the hates and passions of war, and these
can only be allayed by the press and speak

JUDGING from concentrations of North
tennial Grafton made partial amends for the
failure OF Texas to present itself in living
facts be fore the countless multitudes at Phil
adelphia. Twenty-three thousand men from
the immi grafton agency established at the
Kansas and Colorado building erected ty
these two States for joint occupancy. Each
train from the West brings new products of
mines and fields, and of rivers, plains and
mountains to be added to wonders already
gathered from these two States, and the
cost of the building and of the Exposition
has been refunded hundred fold. Texas,
ON the contrary, was never known to exist
till Hubbard came. The story hat horned
frog had reached Philadelphia is wholly
false. Texas is u myth in the East. Vague,
indefinite stories about San JacntO, Sam
Houston and David Crockett have been
bruited abroad, even in Philadelphia; but
the masses of the people of the East have
no more accurate comprehension of the re-
sources, progress. products and capabilI-
ties of the Texas of our time shan of Mo
zambique or Afghanistan. Governor Hub
bard talked charmingly and none the less
truthfully, but the press was incredulous
and partisanship silenced utterly the great
er number of the country's newspapers and
Governor Hubbard, having counteracted to
the greatest extent possible the unfortu.
nate failure of the State to present solid,
practical facts, accomplished really nothing
when we contemplate results achieved 10y
Kansas and Colorado. But it is needless
to pity or condemn those in authority il
