The story Of the Chicago Ne,Os
about the Minneapolis syndicate that
has a large amount of old wheat that
it wishes to unload, and that the cir
cular recently issued to the Alliance
was inspired by this syndicate, is a
little too thin. Although the circular
is not official it comes from q source
that at once gives the lie to this story.
It is intended for scare. Farmers,

The advocate., 1891-08-19

Continued from last week
1t Is claimed in this address that ''tO
purchase and pay for the railroads would
bankrupt the nation" A moments
thought will show the absurdity Of this
statement. There ls said to be now rest
ing on the railroads of this country
burden of ten billions Of dollars In stocks
and bonds. 1t is estimated that on this
frightful sum Is paid by the people
about per cent. per annum. Now sup
pose that burden should be changed to
per cent. United States bonds. Would
that make the burden lighter or heavier?
1t would save to the people of this coun-
try one hundred millions of dollars an
nually. This is the process which this
aggregated Democratic wisdom says
"would bankrupt the nation"
That proposition, however, would be
to pay cash for "water." This should not
be done. The best railroad authorities
agree that One-half of the ten billions of
railroad capitalization is "water, 4" or fraud.
Watered stocks cost the company moth
ing but the printing and selling the pa
per. They have sold 1t for cash and kept
the money, and they should not now COL
lect for 1t a second time. The people
have paid for it once and should not buy
1t again. That leaves only five billions
of stocks to be disposed of. One billion
of that has been paid by the people in
lands, bonds and money in various
forms. This leaves only four billions to
be provided for. Now, If the railroad
companies have had the use of six bill
lions Of the peoples money for period
of fifteen or twenty years, on which they
have been collecting dividends and in
terest, it would seem that they have had
their four billions back more than once.
However, to be fair, would bring each
railroad corporation into court of equity.
l would open ledger with each. On
one side l would place the value Of a
given road with all Its property and be-
