Skepticism as to the Sacredness of Wealth.
Hon. J. B. Weaver in the Forty-ninth Congress
If one of these prehistoric gentlemen,
about whom our scientific men know little
or nothing had been born exempt from
mortality 600,000 years B. Y. Before Wander
bilt), and had made an average saving of 81
per day during all that perion, Mr.. Wander
bilt the day before his death could have
bought him out and then had Sl,0O0,000 left
to invest in the Nickel-Plate Railway. These
figures Will not lie, and you can make the
calculation for yourselves.
Mr.. Vanderbilt's executor, if it were in
accordance with the terms of the will, could
give 200 men employment at 81 per day
each-Sundays and all-for 1900 years, and
then have 81, 900 900 left. Estimating the
total wealth of this country at $50, 900, 900, :
600, you can only give 6,6O0 persons $4,000
600 each if you divide the whole country
equally between them. If you were to d.
vide the estimated wealth of this Nation
(6G, 100000 ,000) equally between 800 men
twenty-five less than belong in this
House, giving each an amount equal to Van
derbilts wealth-there would not be a farth-
ing left for the rest of mankindl Fortunes
like this, sir, are the legitimate outgrowth of
this conspiracy and of the pernicious system
of monopolies which it has fastened upon
as. 1t is not necessary for me to describe
here the wonderful growth of monopolies
during this period Of national bank rule, nor
need / stop to show that they now rule with
an IRON rod all the leading branches of bust
ness within the Republic. Every man who
has gwen the matter even glancing look
knows these things to be true.

We are glad to give place to-day to Mr.
Mann's letter criticising our own criticism on
the legislatures Alburgh excursion" We
are glad to know that the invitation to a free
ride to see the new bridge did not come from
the railroad company, though to US this
seems like distinction without difference
The invitation came from the towns of Al
burgh and North Hero, who it is understood,
would like to have another $25, 600 appropri-
ated for one more bridge for their benefit
but it seems to be conceded that the Central
Vermont railroad company ran the train free
of expense to the town, or substantially so,
and it does not appear to US to cover the case
for any member of the legislature to say that
it was not his business to inquire whether
the people of Alburgh and North Hero paid
anything for the train or not.
The Phoenix did not intimate last week,
and it does not now for moment believe,
that the legislature as whole or any mem Der
of it WAS bought, or his action consciously
influenced, by the acceptance of this act of
courtesy What we did say was that VIC
thought mistake had been made, because
the readiness shown in joining the excursion
indicated an unconscious yielding to an in
fluence which has always been all powerful

ton of duty to any member. If the mem
bers themselves saw it differently they must
remember that they are in an entirely differ
ent atmosphere when they are at the capital
than when at home among the people and
away from 80 many contending interests.
The Windham county members at least
we're sent to Montpelier for a definite pur-
pose. They were sent there to help enact
certain important measures of legislation,
which, in spite of any influence which may
be brought to bear upon them, westill believe
they will do their full share toward carrying
through. We should think it fatal admis-
sion if any of them should say or feel that
any criticism or caution such as The Phoenix
has uttered has aroused their sntagonism or
acted as a blow at the enactment of such
measures of railroad supervision as the PEG.

Light vote was cast aud there we're no notable
surprises or ovefturns for or against either

the Republicans for the reason that the Dem

Whitehall railroad, who are the chief parties
in interest, are indebted to the Argus of this
week for their first intimation that Mr.. HYDE,
the railway mail messenger between Brattlebo-
roand South Londonderry, has been removed
and Frank A. Curtis, "a reliable Democrat"
and "a nephew of Col George W. Hooker"
has been appointed in his place. II this Job
has been put up and brought to pass, as it
undoubtedly has, it is the most fragrant in
stance which has yet occurred in this vicinity
OF violation of every principle of civil service
reform. If the people along his route, Dem

say, Mr.. Hyde would be kept in bis place by
vote OF ten TO one. He is a consistent Re.

acted in this state. A petition representing
SO, 100000 of property was sent in from Bur-
lington, one Of proportionete sizs has gone
up from Brattleboro, and the same thing has
happened all over the state. We believe the
property holders have acted too hastily in this
matter. They have been too readily inHueno-
ed by the threat Of the insurance companies
to withdraw from the state IL laws displeas-
ing to them are enacted, and in doing so they
have put themselves very completely in the
power Of the companies, II the latter ever
choose to use the purchase thus gained. In
the first place, all the old and large companies
would not withdraw from Vermont as they
did from New Hampshire il wisely drawn
valued policy law should be passed and in
the second place the world would not come
to an end IL they did. There is room for legis
lation in this state to compel the insurance
companies to take care how much risk they
assume on any given piece Of property, and
also to compel property holders to carry a
part of their own risk by making it impossible
| for them to get insurance for more than
three fourths of the value Of their property.
