merce, internal aud foreign, the ill.,
t.rest of buyer aud seller, the rights
OF producer aud consumer, the needs
of the poor, and the prosperity Of
the rich, all cry aloud for some sys-
TEN of management which will COM
pei them to do the duties they owe o
the public faithfully, at rates reason
able, fixed, uniform and equal, with
out extortiou, without wanton chang
es, without discrimination.
The laws necessary for this pur-
pose are not difficult to frame. If
you will l.. ok at the constitution of
Pennsylvania as amended in 1873,
you will find III the seventeenth Sec
ton a series of provisions which, if
carried out and enforced, would be
amply sufficient. But the raiiread
men and their advocates have man..
aged to impress the legislature with
the idea that they are above the con-
s%titutlOn. They assert that restric-
ton imposed upon them in the in
terests of justice, equality. and fair
dealing is a violation of the contract
embodied in their charters. All this
is no doubt very false doctrine, but
they contrive i'll some way q really
do not know how to make the state
authorities accept 1T as true.
maintain that all the states have
a clear and indefeasible right to pro-
tect their people against such wrongs,
and 10 exercise the power as q sacred
duty. When the duty is properly
performed the internal trade of each
state will cease to be enslaved and
crippled as it is now. But the COM
Inercs between the states will still be
open to inequalities aud liable to op-
preston ana plumber by transporta-
ton companies unless the national
legislature does something to a it.
Congress has power sto regulate
commerce between the states"
Is 1t not strictly within the scope
of that authority when it makes a
law forbidding carriers through the
state to injnrs, impede, or destroy
the general trade Of the country BY
sxtrava CANT aud discriminating
charges1 II that be not a regulation
of Interstate commerce., what would
be? Tho power being conceded, an
efectual mode righting the wrongs
now complained of can easily be de-
vised. -
Doubtless ysu are right in the be-

faver of your movement. Rejecting
men cannot deny its justice. But the
influence of these great corporations
can hardly be calculated. They have
methods of defense and offense which
make them almost invilcible. You
have referred to portions Of their |
history which proved this. Some of
the state governments are literally |
subjugated by them now. it will re-
quire a strong organization aud much
labor to reduce them. Undisclplined
mllitiain the open field make a poor
fight against regulars lntrenchsd.
What are censtalks against cannon 2
Such is truth against money. You ask
what I think of regulating these
affairs by the agency of commissions
ers. In England I believe that plan
has been q complete success ; in Call
ifornia / understand it is a dead
failure.
This paper is much longer than L
intended to make it, and, as an an
swer to your questions, it is less
categorical that it ought to be. But
ysu must take it as it is, aud believe
