C. Bateman, of Auburn, who was the
candidate of the peoples party Of
Maine for governor last yea and who

in Information that Mr.. Bryan's recent
SIT of 81 800 to the populist national
committee was made with the distinct
understanding that no action against
fusion should be taken by the peoples
party before the mex national V
ton. This, Professor Bateman says, is

cry. Professor Bateman also says that

fication, given out last September.
Bateman was secretary of the notifi-
cation committee, but did not sign the

The Illegally of Pooling by Railroads

In contemplating the alternative
which will be forced upon the railway
companies if the supreme court decis-
ion be maintained, it is proper to say
that while pooling has been commend
ed and resorted to abroad, was rec
commended by the Cullom committee,
and has been endorsed by the most an
inent railway experts of his and other
countries, it remains forbidden here by
law. If it continue forbidden, and the
railways are to be ~interdicted from
forming traffic associations, what re-
Mains for railways arc public protec-
ton. in their mutual relations? If the
railway companies may not meet and
agree upon mutual rates, fares, rules,
conditions, classitications. tickets, LA
bilitieS fer persons and property, eXcur-
sion rates for great public occasions.
times of trains, etc, in what condition
are they or the public to be left? The
resultant differences of condition would
introduce more uncertainties into all
commercial conditions, would lead to
more preferences and determinations
and constitute a greater restraint Of
trade than if competitive lines agreed
to and published common rates, fares,
and rules. ForWarders and receivers
and travellers engaged in actual con-
tat with this problem, all know that
PRACTICAL freedom of trade is not to be
obtained by its legal restriction, and
that the liberty of reasonable contract,
which has, from time immemorial. JUS
titled proper agreements, has secured
that parity of railway conditions which
is the first essential or freedom of
trade, the removal Of restraint, and the
stoppage Of favoritism.-Mr. George r,
Blanchard, in the June Forum.
