During the second session of the For
tieth Congress, a somewhat distinguish
ed STATESMAN" subsequently dr.fted
into city ward politician through evil
associations of cupon clippers gave ex-
preston to the following sentiment
every obstruction to commerce is n
tax upon consumption every facility to
free exchanga cheapens commodities,
increases prade and production and pro-
NOES civilization. Nothing is worse
than scctionalism within II nation and
nothing is better Tor the peace of nations
than unrestricted freedom Of intercourse
and commerce with each other"
Who is this "free trader" us the Com
mercial Gazette would now ask, who
uttered this diabolical sentiment? The
records of Congress tell us it was none
other than John Sherman, of OHIO, who
used this language in report submitted
by him June 8, 1863. Had John Sher-
man died in the yoar a. d. 1853, he
would have passed into history, through
this and other expressed sentiments of
far more importance than this, as one of
the financial Statesmen of America AS
it is he will pass into history as "Cheap
John" mercenary politician. This is the
effect of evil associations.

The Bowling Green papers speak of
eX-Sheriff Brown rusticating with eX-
Deputy Sheriff Dunn out in Kansas.
Mr.. NJ. Fitzgerald, of this place, would
like to know if he is trying to arrange
matters to raise between $7O0 and $500
paid to Mr.. Dunn to be sent to two
brothers in Ireland as their share of one
of the payments to the legal heirs upon
the sale of the farm of deceased broth
er. Mr. F. says the court first made
very liberal division of the proceeds to
three lawyers, while one did all the
work, which accounted for his going
back on the court at the election last
fall, and the only clue he can get to the
remainder paid over to the deputy to be
forwarded to Ireland is, that a total
stranger presented himself to Deputy
Dunn, as the authorized agent to draw
the money and forward the same to Ire.
land, but he was told that he would
have to get somebody to identify him.
The stranger got Clerk Donnelly to say
that he guessed he was all right, and
thereupon it is alleged that Deputy
Dunn paid over the money to the strang'
er. If these are the facts as Mr.. Fitz-
gerald related them to us a few days
ago, as all the information he could get
on the subject, it is about as bold piece
of business rs that of the effort to swim
die Nathan Carpenter out of his horse.

Turning from the story of railroad
building in 1887, let us look at another
kind of railroad fgures-those which
show the wrecking of fortunes and hopes.
Thirty-one railroads, aggregating 5,47s
miles and representing an apparent cap
ital of S32s, 600, 900, were sold under
bankrupt proceedings during the year
1887. The Railway Age, in comment
ing OF the subject, says: It's remark
able that while the greater part of rail-
WY building has been carried on in the
wild and presumably reckless West, the
old, conservative and wealthy Eastern
States of New York and Pennsylvania
furnished nearly one-third of the roads
that had to be closed out during the
year while none of the States of the
West or South made such a showing of
reckless or unfortunate management. !"
