Hon. o. r. SINGLETON is reported by
a correspondent Of the Courier-Journal
as saying that "three monied powers in
Congress who always vote together and
defeat every public measure which con-
hicts with their supposed interests.
These are the bankers, the manufactu-
rers, or, in other words, the high pro-
tectionists, and the railroad corpora
tions" He said:
Before the expiration Of the twenty
wears, which limited the charters Of the
first national banks, quietly and with
out arousng any suspicion those banks
elected to Congress ninety Representa-
tives, who were either bank Presidents
directors or stockholders. When tie
/ question of reorganization Of the banks
came up, these ninety, with the allianct
of the high tariff and railroad men, has
things their own way. The banks ar,
opposed to liquidating the national debt
because that would destroy the natiopa
banks. High tariff men arc opposed t.
its payment, because they would NJ
longer have an excuse for protection
and the railroad kings will combine will
any other power to protect themselves
These interests are important and repre-
sent large population, but they ar

of population of many more million

When the bill was pending to super
wise corporations in accordance with the
platform of the Democracy, it was alb
surdly urged by the opponents OF super
vision and the corporation Lobbyists,
that the effect of its passage would bel
to deter foreign capital from investment
in several contemplated railroad enter
prises. The device induced some mem
bers who are in favor of the principle,
to consent to the Fpostponement OF the
measure from considerations OF eX-
pediency, but with the reservation that
it was to be a postponement only, and
Of short duration. This device would
not have ayailed, however, but for the
differences which sprang up, and were
shrewdly encouraged by the oPPosers Of
supervision, among It's friends. On re-
pcated test votes very large majorities
were found to be in favor Of a super
vision law. BY one means and another,
action was prevented with the inn
piled condition, however, that the delay
should be temporary. Two more years

it was urged were in danger OF indetl'
