Ia Pennsylvania, before the al.
option of the new Constitution,
which was accomplished against
the most strenuous opposition of
the rings and the monopolists, the
traffic i'll charters was n regular
business, The Legislature passed
them in patches, naming three or
four persons as corporators, and
granting privileges and powers of
almost every description. They
were then used or sold, as suited
the convenience of the MAI ipula-
tors. 1t was perfectly well known
that from certain persons at Har-
risburg and Philadelphia n charter
could be bought that would serve
almost any purpOse-except build
ing a roilroad to the moon. From
this source came the Credit Mob
ilier and the California and Texas
Construction C0mpany-corpora-
tions that have made some noise in
the world in connection with
the Union and Texas Pacific Rail
roads.
In California they have the Cen
trail Pacific, gigantic corporation
with Unsuitable NAV, and arms
reaching everywhere on the coast
from Oregon to Arizona. 1t has not
only a monopoly of the through
trade from the East, but of the
local trade Of the tributary States
and Territories; and, as usual, it
has seized nearly all the facilities
of business, including wharves,
ferries, aud all else of certain value.
1t began under local charter
granted by the State TO four or five
men, who were willing To serve the
public in this corporate capacity in
return for certain enumerated
privileges. But, like the genii I'M
corked from the bottle by the poor
fisherman, it speedily assumed the
proportions of n monster and
threatened to swallow its creator.
1t received IA great land grant and
subsidy from the United States,
and now the five robbers of yester.
day are the five kings Of to-day,
