CONSOLIDATION


The recent appreciation of railroad
property, estlmat. ID at no less than
three hundred millions of dollars, is
the result and occasion ofmuch stock
speculation among railroad magnates.
From exchanges, we learn that
some of our most important railroads
have recently changed hands. In the
west, Mr.. Jay Gould is the ostensible
purchaser. The Hannibal & st. Joe.
with its branch to Kansas City, the
Kansas City & Northern, the Mis-
souri, Pacific with its branches in Mis-
souri,, the Iowa Central in Iowa, the
Kansas Pacific in Kansas and Colo
RADIO, and the Peoria, PekIn & Jack
~sonviile together with the Denver &
Rio Grande or Upper Arkansas, San
Juan and Pacific r. r., and its nu-
merous branches and feeders and
immense land grants, are all said to
lave passed into his hands. In the
east. in connection with the stock
holders ofthe Toledo & Wabash r. R.,
and a recently formed syndicate, said
to he composed of j. Morgan & Co,
London, Drexel, Morgan g. Co., Au-
gust Belmont & Co., l.. Won Hoffman
& Co., Morton, Bliss & Co., Winslow
Lanier & Co., f. w. Morgan, G. W.
Field and Russell Sage, that same
gentleman is reported to have secured
100000 shares of New York Central
Railroad stock at 1920 per share,
amounting of itself to thirty millions
of dollars. We cannot give the ag.
gregate of the cost of the other roads
they must amount, however, to al
most as much more, including the
Wabash e. Toledo.
Besides the manifest tendency tc
consolidation, that is being develop
ed in all our industries, several othel
considerations have conspirnd tt
make these purchases seem advisable
to capitalists. One of the motives
has been a wish to solidify a unior
and alliance between the WABASH &
Toledo, and the Karsas and Unior
Pacific railroads. Another was .

There is a large number of persons
interested in the C of railroads.
Those owning their stocks are formld-
able in numbers. Besides these are
their employees and those they patron
ize, the car builders and rail and To-
connective manufacturers, and their
workmen. These together amount to
millions. Unless the roads make
money, such numbers cannot prosper.
On the other side there are also still
greater millions, the consumers and
travellers, merchants, manufacturers
and agriculturists, that are interested
in cheap and swift transportation.
For sometime freights have been low,
and railroads have languished. Many
have been sacrificed to meet construc-
ton and other mortgages. The re-
cent rise in this sortof property comes
very OPPORTUNITY, and our railroad
kings ought to be satisfied with such
large gains. Still, it would not be
astonishing if they would seek to
make them greater.

THE MESSAGE.

The Presidents message. like MIR.
Sherman's report, is a very common
place production. Like those that
have preceded it from the same
source, il exhibits a medioerity of
style and sentiment that is not to be
found in the communications of pre-
vious executives to congress. To a
very great extent, it is a repetition of
the contents of departmental reports
already communicated to the public
by the press.
Excepting SO much of the message
as aIludes to the retirement of the
Icgal-tenders and curtailment of silver
coinage, there is little in it to attract
attention. A large part OF it was de-
voted to civil service reform, and af-
ter having rewarded the participants
in the late presidential frauds, and
the recent political trampings OF the
President and Cabinet, what is said
comes with singularly bad taste from
Mr.. Hayes. 1t sounds like preaching
that is not backed up by practice.
Besides this, the civil service rules Of
Great Brita.:, are not adapted to the
habits of American and especially re-
publican politicians, who generally
aim to repay the efforts oflleir friends
whenever suitable opportunity pre-
sents itself.
Unlike the Chambers, Conklings,
Blaines and other stalwarts, Mr.. Hayes
expresses great reliance in the force
of public opinion in strengthening
what he conceives to be the growing
spirit of sectional reconciliation, and
in maintaining federation for difference
of political sentiment. E.e ccngratu-
lates the country upon the success Of
resumption, and points exultingly to
the continued excess of export V
import. He wishes to- see the laws
prohibiting polygamy enforced in
Utah, invokes the aid Of congress in
providing universal protection for the
free use of the electoral franchise, and
recommends the creation of addition
al L. S. Courts. He also advocates
the maintenance of the sinking fund,
and proposes to meet its deficiencies
by a duty on tea and coffee.
The balance of the message Is de-
voted to foreign relations, indian af-
fairs, the post-cffice, education, agri-
culture, and Alaska and the District
Of Columbia.

them, to escape from the competition
of antagonistic railways that were
seeking new alliances and negotiating
for outlets by way of the Pennsylva-
MIA Central to Philadelphia, or of the
Baltimore & Ohio to Baltimore. Still
another, the fact that the roads pur-
chased were all in a more or less de-
moralized condition, and for sale at
sums far below their cost of construc-
ton and present estimated value, and
therefore, likely to be speedily adj
vanced by the upward tendency of
prices.
The gentlemen making these pur-
chases have every prospect of realiz-
ing handsome returns, whether they
dispose of them or hold them as IN
terest bearing investments; but the
most important question for public
consideration is the effect snch COM
binations will have upon western inter-
ests. If the goods we need, and the
products of our farms are cheaply and
expeditiously transported. the result
will be acquiesced in but. if the at
tempt shall be made either to build
up one city at the expense of another,
or to exact from agriculture excessive
freights, these spectators must ex-
pect to arouse hostile feelings wher-
ever such a spirit is cvinced. The
press Is extending a hearty welcome
to Mr.. Gould. Let us hope then,
that his operations in Missouri will
be beneficial to himself and the State.

CONGRESS-.

Congress assembled on Monday.
In the Senate, there are forty-two
democrats, and .thirty-four republi-
cans. In the House, besides one hun
bred and ffty-one democrats and one
hundred and thirty-one republicans,
there are eleven greenbackers. 1t IS
probable that on financial questions
the greenbackers will support the
democrats /; but even in that event,
their united majority viii be too small
to pass a bill tina. the executive shall
oppose. Nothing is, therefore, likely
to be pressed that is not conservative.
Still. it will not do for either the press
or the public to become indifferent on
that account to an issue that must for
sometime ever be before congress and
the nation. The next presidential
election, if something docs not in
tervene to prevent it, may prove to
be a graver crisis than the last, which
was carried by fraud. 1t cannot have
escaDed observation that the election
of 1876 was a great strain upon our
institutions, and that it still presses
sore,v upon then. With democratic
possession of both Houses of Congress
there ought to have been a democratic
president. The jars in the last con
gress, and in the extra session of this,
are attributable wholly to the frauds
of 1876, and fear is being expressed
everywhere that the election of 1880
will be carried either by similar fraud
or by force. The rank and file OF
neither side contemplate destruction
of liberty, but both sides manifest
disposition to exclude their opponents
from office. and when either is de-
f.ated the Cry of fraud rings out.
Both sides forget that what is done
to-day to advance either may be useC
against it tomorrow and that, when
once O victory has been gained by
unfair means, it destroys all future
confidence. The great fraud Of 1876,
led to fear of repetition of something
similar in 1880. By doing SO, it oc-
cassioned Withholding Of appropria-
tons, and brought about the bitter
examinations and determinations Of
the late elections. Each party fears
the other. The democrats. being il
control of both the Senate and the
House, are in possession Of some
means to resist republican fraud i
any is resorted to. and still they are
without those appliances of tempta
ton and intimidation on q grant
scale, which their opponents WELD
