To the Officers and Members OF Paw Paw
Grange No. 10, OF the Patrons OF Husband
ry:
Your Committee, appointed at the last meet
ing to draft and report resolutions relative to
the subject OF railroad monopolies and the nee
essary legislative changes restricting the same,
would respectfully report the following:
WHEREAS, Corporations, and especially rail-
road companies, are usually in the habit Of
combining their wealth and influence, thereby
forming monopolies inImical to the interests OF
the people, working great injury to both pro-
Queer and consumer, by winch the former is
deprived of q large portion OF tho rghtful fruit
OF his labor, and the latter compelled to pay
greatly enhanced values for articles transported
FOR consumption:
And whereas, 1t IS we'll established prlnci
pie OF law that Z" the creature 10 not above the
creator" and, therefore, that all corporations
are proper subjects for legislation, and that
those that trench upon the rights OF the people
by extortion should be summary dealt with By
the enactment OF stringent and wholesome stat
uatory provisions;
And whereas, The several railroads in this
State, and particularly those operating under
special charters, have been for long time, and
are yet, charging enormous and unjust rates,
therefore
hebOlVeQ, 1udt ~ rs LILO uutN vi
the legislature OF this state, now in SESSION, to
most thoroughly examine into the great evils
growing out of the immense railroad power !;
and inasmuch as the charters OF the several
railroads OF the State, operating under special
corporate privileges, have now expired, that we
respectfully ask our legislature to bring all such
roads under the general railroad laws.
Resolved, That the general railroad laws
should then be 80 amended as to require all
roads to establish uniform maximum rates, &C.
cordlng to the distance OF transportation, for
the carrying OF all produce aud merchandise
over their lines.
Resolved, That we request our State Execu-
tive Committee to take immediate action, where
by the principles OF the foregoing resolutions
shall be promptly placed before our Legislature,
and further recommend that a copy OF the
foregoing preamble aud resolutions be publish
cd in the Grange Visitor, ana that blank petit
tons be forwarded to the several County and
subordinate Oranges OF the State, for general
circulation among the people.
All OF which is respectfully submitted.

We heartily endorse the following from the
Dowagiac Republican
Collections are bsing taken up for the chill
dren of z. p. Bliss, who lost his life at Ashta-
bula. While charity is a good thing, the old
adsge says it should begin at nome. Ten thou
sand dollars has already been raised for them,
and this is sufficient to educate, cothe and feed
these two little fellows TILL they can make their
own wav IN the world. Beside they will always
be surrounded by friends who will render them
all assistance for the sake OF their beloved pa
rents. AS the case stands, we hope not cent
will be furnished by this community for the
purpose. for there are children here, perhaps as
worthy, who are suffering for necessary food
and clothing.
