City Post. in reply to an inquiry as ia
''Modern Feudalism,''' and is as follows;
ST. PAIL, MIMI. June z, 1S73-W
w. Williams, Esq.-Dear Sir: am IL
receipt Of yonr esteemed favor OF May
80. Ny lecture on Modern Feuda)sm'
does not profess to touch the question
OF REMEDY. 1t was written three
years ago-before the question had be.
gun to receive any political ag,tat,os,
and was designed to call attention to
the tendency OF the modern corporation
to SUBORDINATE THE GOVERN
MENT ITSELF TO THE FUNCTION
OF THE PRIVATE MONOPOLY.
Many predictions made in that lecture
seemed audacious when they were writ
ten, but events have moved so rapidly
that within three years the things which
To predict seemed to be ventures ONE have
become the stalest kind OF history.
lam satisfied that<the great political
struggle Of twenty years to come will be
fought on the question OF corporations.
The Dartmouth college case, which was
decided by the supreme court OF the
United States years before single rail
was laid in this country, is the really
rea t. difficulty in the way OF legislative
regulation OF corporations. That de-
cision, however. merely affects d PRI-
VATE corporation. 1t does not profess
to touch those bodies which, like rail
roads, are public in their nature, and to
which certain elements OF sovereignty
(such as the power to condemn property
are delegated. Whether the courts will
draw the distinction is yet to be seen.
MY OWN IDEA Is THAT THE. STATE
CANNOT CONTRACT AWAY ASlNGLE
ATTRIBUTE OF SOVEREIGNTY, and
that when the public nature OF these in.
situations is conceded, the right to con
troll them follows logically -:
do not think congress has any power
which will effectually remedy the evils.
The power to regulate commerce be-
tween the different states unquestion-
ably gives that body the right to regu.
late through freights, but 1t has no ex-
istence in regard to freigh:s, say between
Mankato and Winona. ...
In regard to the power of the state,
the converse Of the above paragraph is
true. That is, while the state may pos
sibly regulate from Mankato to W,nona,
it has no power to do 50 from Winona
to Lacrosse. $50. - q
My own idea Of the practical solution
OF this question is almost as universal
as was the idea OF emancipation. 1t Ia
that the Federal government should,
under the power of eminent domain,
condemn at. least two. through lines
from the seaboard to-: the west: keep
them in repair just as the state keeps it's
wagon roads. up, and suffer every one
who has locomotive or car to run
over them under such regulations only
as will insure safety. III ~
BEFORE THIS CAN BE DONE
THERE WILL BE: "A STRUGGLE TO
WHICH THAT REGARDING SLAV-
cry IN THE TERRITORIES WAS
MERE BABY PLAY. 1t may be that
the railroad men will be wiser than the
shareholders -. their prototypes = and
when they know what is coming will
make satisfactory concessions. f.
