That able journal, The st. Paul
Globe, says:
Slowly but surely the railroads Of
this country are becoming coosolida-
ted, and gigantic monopolies are
springing up that viii ere long control
the entire business of transportation.
In the near future we will see one or
two corporations of fabulous wealth
managing the entire railway system
of the country from the Atlantic to
the Mississippi and from the great
lakes to the gulf. Monday election
of officers of the Michigan Central
road witnessed the absorption of that
company by the Vanderbilt interest,
already controlling an immense net
work OF railways between New York
and the west. 1t was but an accident
two weeks ago, that the Union Pacific
did not gain control of the Chicago
" Northwestern and the Illinois Cen
tral is constantly extending its
arms southward, gathering in branch
after branch in Mississippi, Alabama
and Louisiana. Eor time, we sap
pose, the competition between the
iSolCAhOiO " OHIOs IHC
and Vanderbilt lines for Eastern
business will be maintained, but if
they do not eventually consolidate
they will at least pool their earnings.
which amounts to the same thing.
These events will be closely watched
by business men. for they are of vital
interest to shippers both east and
west.
"Of vital interest to shippers are
they. not much =! An increase rate of
freight will simply result in the ship
pers giving the farmers less for their
products. 1t matters nothing to
shippers if freight rates were in
creased five fold;-the real sufferers
are the farmers. They foot the bills.
And yet the farmers, with the power
in their hands to right their wrongs,
sit in satisfied apathy while their
plumbers are drawing the chains more
and more tightly around them. The
great revolt known as the Grange
came to nought by few corrupt
leaders keeping the people away from
the ballot box while they tickled their
ears with Sam Adams platitudes.
