SURRENDER OF THE PA.
CIFIC RAILROADS

CIFIC RAILROADS.
Hewett, in Congress recently,
expressed the belief that it was
the intention of the Pacific Rail-
road companies to surrender the
roads back to the Government
upon the maturity of their obi
cations. While this may be
true as regards the Union Pa
cific, which is able to draw trib-
ute of $27,O00,00O annually from
the people, 90 per cent. Of
which is from local business,
the showing is altogether differ
ent with the Central Pacific. AT
the great convention at Niagara,
some months ago, Lloyd Tevis
fereshadowed in his speech the
fact that it would never be pos
sible to run the Central Pacific
road at even reasonably low
rates Of fares and freights, be-
cause of the tremendous grades
and snow encountered in the
Sierras and other portions of the
line. It is as clear as the sun
light that the Central people will
pay nothing that they can avoid
on account Of their c. p. indebt-
edness and if upon the matur-
;ty Of their obligations they can
not get a clear title to their road
upon the payment of their first
mortgage bonds, they will aban-
don the road.
The Salt Lake Tribune re-
views the above in the following
manner Already that COM
pany, on easy grades and prac-
tically below the snow zone,
have built a road which in a few
months more will have through
connection with two termini on
he Pacific, and two on the Gulf
of Mexico, a magnificent port
on the Chesapeake Bay, besides
easy and perfect communication
with Portland, Oregan, and the
great Northern cities of the
Eastern States. To give up the
Central Pacific they will only
have to surrender the Nevada
business. The State of Nevada
refused to vote the company a
great subsidy while yet their
road was hardly commenced,
and the company has pursued a
course little less than confisca-
ton toward that State ever since.
1t has, to, prevented as far as
possible the construction of
branch roads in that State. IN
less other powerful companies
run competing roads through
that State, by the tine the
Central Pacific Indebtedness
natures the goose will be thor
Oughly plucked, and the surren-
der of the road will be to the
company simply the casting off
of a suit of worn out clothes.

The Amendments.

The Austin Statesman with the
vision OF a seer has discovered In.
dications that the tax amendments
TO the constitution both for state rev.
enue and school purposes will be de
feated and at oEce proceeds 10 show
why they should be rejected. Itargues
that the government Is now being run
OH a tax Of thirty cents on the hun
bred dollars, and heamendments pro-
vide for an increase 10 sixty cents.
To have stated the case fairly and in
accordance with the facts, the States
man should have said that the consti-
tuition limits taxation for all
purposes to fifty cents on
the one hundred dollars valua-
ton, and that the amendments pro-
pose to place the limit at sixty cents,
all the Increase being applied to the
tax for school purposes. The Statesman
assumes that the limit will be levied
under the amendments, in the face of
the fact that only three-ffths Of the
amount now authorized by the con-
siitution is levied by the legislature.
Under the present system only one
fourth of the general revenue, viz:
Seven and half cents can be appro-
priated for school purposes, confessedly
not enough to make the school system
efiicient--and it is to avoid this, that
the amendments are proposed. The
amendments reduce the limit for state
purposes, including schools, from fifty
to thirty-five cents, and increase it
from twelve and half when the
limit Is levied to twenty cents, and
twenty cents is little enough for school
When the levy is divided
as the amendments propose, seven and
one-half cents may be found sufficient
for general purposes, and il. twelve and
a half be found sufficient for school
the entire tax levied by the
state for general purposes and the
of the public schools Will
be only twenty cents on the 800 valu-
alton; a tax of which no people
can reasonably complain. The |
pImission for school dis
<icts to tax themselves, By vote
twenty cents on the one hundred dol !
ars, is one which the legislature can
not control. II is left for the people,
'nd the people have always shown an |
'bility to take care ofthemselves when
permitted to do so 10y the politicians
md ariful demagogues. The .Slotcl-
nan, reasoning from false premises.
caches the conclusion that The amend.
nents will be, and ought to be. re-
ected. Reasoning from correct prem.
ses, the amendments are wise and
ldicious aud in the interest of econ
my, and unless it is the purpose ofthe
eople to abandon the schools they
mould be adopted. The Statesman
nows, OF should know that the cash
a!ance has been greatly augmented
y reason OF the fact that the legisla-
ure was compelled To- levy thirty
ent in order to make provisions for
be schools. Could the schools be pro I
ided for separate and apart from the
enerai revenues the seventeenth leg
stature wouid have reduced the tax to
wenIy cents on the one hundred dol
'rs. The amendments should receive
ne unanimous support of the tax
ayers, and be adopted by an over !

THE laboring classes in whose
interest, according to the Republic
can theory, the protective tariff
Is maintained, should he able
to see through the subterfuge.
Protection TO wooden goods enables
the manufacturer 10 sell for a
larger profit, and thereby to pay
larger hire for labor. The same
Is trne Of iron and all manufactured
goods. The less iron, the less wool,
the higher the price, and all to. keep
out the goods manufactured by pau
per labor" and the wage-winner is
told that ii Is all for bis benefit. Why
not then begin at the root of
the evil. The more iron the
cheaper Is true. The more labor, the
cheaper is equally true. But the Pro-
tectionist who clamors for high
tariff never says a word against the
importation of skilled labor from
abroad. The less labor the
higher the price stares him
in the face, and he fayors
the encouragement Of free labor and
protected iron receiving double bene-
fit from the operation Of the unjust
system. If the protectionists mean
what they say, that protection is in
the interest Of labor, let prohibitory
tariff be placed on every skilled me-
ehanic that lands on our shores.

also insists at the same time that if
