JUSTICE 70 Investors.
DEPEw'S OPINION Or NEDnASK A
FREIGHT RATE DECISION.
State Legislatures VIII No Longer
Have Power to COnascate Rail.
road Property By Unfriendly

NEW YORK. March s-Discussing the
decision Of the United States supreme
court in the Nebraska maximum freight
rate case. Chauncey NJ. Depew. president
Of the New York Central railroad, says:
The contention of the men who framed
the Nebraska law and of the people in
the other Western states who agree with
them, has been for years that the legfs-
latures have the right TO confiscate rail-
road property within the states by fixing
rates so low as to leave no return 10 stock
and bondnelders. Some OF them have gone
SO far as 10 say that when people with
interest on their investment for few
years. they are sufficiently rewarded. AID
the state should take the road and con-
fiscate the capital.
''Of course, il the people who have
money to build railroads believed that this
doctrine would prevail, no more railways
would be built. II the doctrine had been
sustained by the supreme court there
would have been panic in railroad securi-
ties. Every investor would have under
stood that he held his stock subject TO it's
being made worthless by an act OF some
legislature.
There is now in bonds and stocks OF
railways about ten billions of dollars. and
most OF the investments OF the country
are based on these. II that investment can
be rendered worthless over night by a bill
damned through legislature and APP
proved by governor IN three hours, no
body would invest in such property. Such
doctrine, II carried out, would cause
greater loss than our four years of civil
war. The decision of the supreme court
is just what every lawyer and business
man expected II would be: 1t gives sta
bllity to investment. and will not only help
railroad investments. but all other Ameri-
can business and securities. In other
words, 1t is declaration from the high
est court that pyOperty is safe in this coun-
try. and that .he ACCOMMODATIONS of indus
try are not to be disturbed by hostile iegis-
latures.
1.-The legislatures have power to fix rates
upon which railroads can live and get rea-
sonable terms. AS TO what are reasonable
rates, the supreme court should decide
finally. This Is a new country, and rail-
roads are necessary to develop 1t. There
are still immense areas yet undeveloped
which can never be developed without rail-
road lines.
III this case had been decided in favor
OF the Nebraska law. not another mile OF
railroad would have been built in that
state. The railroads now within its Dor
ders would not have maintained their
roadbed and equipment. and in nve years
Nebraska would have been far behind the
rest OF the country. There would have fol-
lowed inevitably. cut in expenditures.
and wages would have gone down % per
cent"

STILL BREAKING RECORDS.
European Appreciation Of Corn
shown by the Exports.

Cleveland Leader
Last year broke all the records in the
exports of Indian corn from the United
States. but SO far 1888 has beaten 1897 by
about 2,0000 600 bushels At that rate the
toaI exports of corn for the current year
will exceed 200 900 900 bushels
Such unprecedented and prodigious fig
ures mean that the value Of American
maize is being better appreciated than 1t
ever was before. The hold OF the great
est cereal of the western hemisphere n
widening and Strengthening constantly.
Henceforth. it is safe to say corn will
be more used in Europe for feeding do
mestic animals, and for human consump-
ton. than 1t ever was before the great
crop OF 1896 forced prices down to very
low level and made possible the immense
exports Of 1897.
OF course American farmers will meet
competition In the markets Of the old
world. In corn as well as In other prod
ucts. Maize is being grown more and more
In the Danube valley and in some parts
OF South America. Italy also tends to-
ward larger corn crop and there may
be a good deal of competition from South
ern Russia some day. However the coun-
tries which may attempt to rival the
United States in the production OF corn
are less numerous and less formidable
than those which compete eagerly with
America In the wheat trade. Therefore
We have a much better chance to hold
the place already won in the corn mar
Refs OF Western Europe than We ever had
TO maintain such position in wheat.
As corn Is the most extensive and i'm
portant crop in the United States. the
significance of these facts is apparent.
