REASON TOGETHER

The railroad commission is an accom-
plished fact The GAZETTE advocated
its establishment by law, believing IN
the light of what railroad commissions
had done in other states, such an instl-
tuition could, if properly applied, only
result in the general good OF all parties
affected by its workings in Texas. ~
large majority OF the states OF this
Union have railroad commissions, and
in most of them even the corporations
subject to their rulings confess that
they have benefited their business.
This is notably the case in Georgia,
Alabama and some Of the other proXl-
mate Southern states, from whose texts
the provisions Of the existing commits
sion law of this state are said to have
been suggested. Now that the commits
sion has been created, its members ap-
pointed. and their ratings OF the multi
tudinous classes of traffic that enter
into the transactions Of common car
riers been made. there are complaints
more or less frequent from railroad
companies and communities OF ruinous
rates and unjust DETERMINATIONS in GER
tain particulars. This was to be ex-
pected, and these complaints should be
met by the members of the commission
and entertained in a broad-gauge
spirit of liberality. Due regard should
be had for the earning capacity OF
every railroad within the purview oil
the commission, its rulings should be
framed so as not only not TO work a
positive loss to the parties who have
| invested their money in good faith in
railroad stoc ks, but to enable them &c
secure reasonable profit on the in
vestment IN ade. AT the same time the
rights of shippers and consumers
| should be taken into the fullest consid-
Grafton and protected from eXtortion.
In the intricate manipulations OF
law whose rarifcations extend into sc
many interests it would be little short
of miraculous if satisfaction was given
from the start to every party in inter
est. Let the commission, the railroads
and the people sit down to reason out
their differences together. Quarrel
ing, pickering and opposition can onl!
result in working great injustice anc
oppression to some one or other OF the
elements involved. THE GAZETTE
feels confident in the opinion that if the
points of difference are talked over in ;
spirit of patience between the commits
sion and the railroads that all friction
will disappear and the railroad com
mission pass from the experimental
stage to the plane of success.
Let the people and the railroads ge'
closer together.

The diversity of opinion developed
regarding coinage in the bankers con-
vention which closed its session at New
Orleans Thursday cannot fail to evoke
the attention OF the thoughtful student
of finance but is worthy the considera-
ton OF every farmer, mechanic, mer-
chant and politician in the country as
well. The impression has prevailed
and it must be acknowledged it has had
good reason for its prevalence-during
the past several years, particularly
among the agricultural populations OF
the West and South, that the class OF
men constituting that convention were
a unit in favor of monometalism-in
continuing to perpetuate the stringency
of money entaillng hardship on the
masses and putting wealth in the
pocket of the few-in raising the stan
dard of gold and depreciating that OF
silver.
1t is encouraging to read in the re-
port OF that convention that a respecta-
| BILE if not a considerable number of the
| Intelligent bankers whose deliberations
have just been brought to close in the
Crescent city, have gone to the fullest
| length in the matter OF increasing the
volume of currency that the most en-
| thusiastic advocate of free silver coin
age could wish. Chief among this class
of financiers is Mr.. w. 2. ST. John OF
New York leading money-lender Of
Wall street and controller of large
financial movements in the state in
which ex-President Cleveland wrote
his celebrated anti-silver letter.
His paper read before the convention
is strong refutation of the hackneyed
arguments OF the gold-bugs, and an
exposure sof their pet sophisms.
Whether the exigencies of party su c.
