NATIONAL ALLIANCE.
President Polk Issues Call For
the Legislative Council.

SIC 4LGssSIdtifC SOtlffCl.
SANFORD, Fla. Dec. 11.-President
Polk, of the National Faamers' Ali
ance, has named Friday, Feb. 6, 1891,
and Washington. D. c., as the place of
holding the first meeting of the
national legislative council, which
is composed of the national president
and presidents of all the State Alliances.
An important piece of action taken
during the closing moments of
the late convention was the adop-
ton of resolution with reference
to the support of all Alliances. The pol
icy of the Alliance will be to withhold
all support from newspapers who do
not conduct Alliance departments,
or at least publish Alliance news
regularly. This arrangement does
not compel a support of Alliance meas
ures or an advocacy of Alliance de-
mands on the part of these newspapers
in their editorial columns, but does
compel a certain degree of friendliness
Oh their part, and amounts TO an abso-
Lutte boycott to all newspapers which lo
not come up to the terms of the resolu-
ton.

WATERED STOCKS.

A suit in the United States circuit
court in Nebraska brings out the facts
as to the cost of railroad building in
this prairie country. 1t gives a glimpse of
the vast discrepancy between the money
outlay for constructing the average
road and its watered capital. The par
ties to the suit are the firm that took
the contracts and the syndicate, COM
posed Of GOULD, DILLON. SAGE, and
the others, who let the contracts and do
the watering. Some breach of contract
is alleged by the builders, which is not
material. The road was built across the
state of Kansas to Pueblo, Col, by the
owners of the Missouri Pacific under an
alias, but to become a branch of that
road. 1t was bonded for $4,000 per
mile and stocked for the same
sum, making its issues $4,000 per
mile. This was taken I'D by
the exchange of $1,000 per mile
of the 3 per cent bonds of the Mis-
souri, Pacific, in pursuance of the orig
inal contract. This Sl1 900, then, was
the actual cost of construction to the
syndicate. They had also large sums
squeezed out of the counties and towns
that the road passes through, one of
them alone giving 100000. The rolling
stock is estimated at $4,000 per mile,
making the actual outlay $4,000 per
mile; the public does not have any rea-
son TO suspect that the investment had
such modest proportions. The bonds
and stocks are watered at the pleasure
of the parties in control, and the people
are the victims. The tariffs must be
sufficient to pay dividends on perhaps
$4,000 of Indebtedness per mile. while
the cost of the road was but $40, 900.
There is nothing peculiar in this case.
1t is only notable that the facts come to
light in court.
