Corporate Greed.

One of the most gigantic frauds
of The age incident to corporations
is "watered" stock-fctitious capital.
The result of this inflated fiction is
to squeeze money from the produc-
ing masses-a tax upon toll. This
tax coming to them incidentally, in
directly, is not readily seen and
hence not generally realized and re-
monstrated against. A company
propose to start bank. 1t is pre-
sumed that bank is eminently a
money institution. tits understood
the stockholders place a capital OF
$4,000, $4,000 $4,000 in the
bank, and on the strength of this in
vite deposits,-loan it out and gath
er in the interest. Sometimes we
see hint of the condition of other
institutions in the prospectus-10
per cent of the capital stock paid inl
Of what does the 80 per cent consist
Off Individual notes! A railway
company build road that costs
$4,000 mile. They issue stock
for $4,000 a mile and demand in
charges to the public an income of
10 per cent per annum on the stock
at par-40 per cent on the invest
ment. The Sugar Trust is capital
lied for $100,00O,O00, while the actual
value put into the concern is prob
ably not s10,OOo,O 00-but they want
dividend of 80 to 40 per cent on
The inflated stock. The Chemical
Bank of New York city does bust
ness on the basis of $15,000,000
worth of capital, when there never
was 100000 put into the concern
by the stockholders. These are but
instances of corporations. Is it not
plainly apparent that while labor
creates The wealth of the country it
does not get 1.-THE of its proportion
ate share, while corporations with
inflated stock secure nine-tenths of
the results? In the meantime the
rich grow richer and the poor poorer.

on the grain threshed as a security
for thresh.ng bill which passed
the assembly the 9TH is in line with
the policy pursued by previous leg
islatures in giving security on prop
erty for wo"k done in preparing that
property for market. The assembly
could not see the justice, however, of
giving storekeepers lien on lumber
for supplies furnished for logging
camps. Mr.. Hall vigorously OPP
posed the bill on behalf of the
lumbermen of which be is one.
The w. G. T. U. loses its prospec-
tive grant Of $1,000 to the home for
unfortunate women at Eau Claire.
The opposition to the bill did not
arise from want of sympathy for the
object and claims Of the home but
from a disposition to formulate a
scheme along The same line for an
institution 70 be under control of the
state. Twensy-six bills were killed
in the assembly on The 9th.
The anti-pass bill again passed
the assembly on The 7th and was
sent back in committee. There
seems &c. be question as to the reg
ularity Of lis adoption.
The bill repeating the mill tax for
the State University and Normal
schools and appropriating specific
sums to ese;nstitutions passed the
senate. The bill apprenticeship
900 to Normal schools and $260,000
to the University.
The bill before the assembly pro-
viding for The taxing of mortgages
proposes 10 deal with difficult and
complicated affair. The scheme
has been tried again and again in
different counties and has resulted
in a practical failure to secure any,
thing Ike satisfactory returns. And
yet as matter of justice the bill is
a plain proposition.
Mr.. Overlook introduced a bill in
the assembly to increase the num-
Der of blue books from 125 to 200
copies for each member of The leg
islature and each elective officer-an
aggregate increase of 10000. The
total edition viii then be $4,000.
The cost OF these books to the state
for printing, binding etc., is about
60 cents volume. The work is
valuable Sor the great amount of in
formation il contains especially in
relation TO the public institutions
of the state.
The legislature has not yet come
to an understanding with reference
to the date of adjournment.
The Wisconsin Central reorganiza-
ton bill developed opposition and a
prolonged debate in the assembly
Tuesday. Mr.. Hall was inclined to
suspect the presence of hidden
colored person in the enclosure.
The feature of watered stock in the
measure was conceded objection,
but the bill passed.
The senate Tuesday fixed a date
for adjournment-April 81. Up to
the 18th of April 1875 bills have been
signed by the governor and six have
been vetoed. AS the total number
of laws will be about 300, there are
busy days ahead for the legislators.

The Clayton-Bulwer Treaty,

The fraternal sentiment between
England and America is manifest in
the advances made by the British
governments offering TO abrogate
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, renounc-
ing any advantages which that treaty
secured to Englandi.and giving the
United States free hand in the pro-
ject of a Nicaraguan canal.
This treaty was made in 1049
during the gold excitement in Cal
ifornia. The British had important
interests in Nicaragua at that time
and would not accede to the PROPOSE
ton of the United States govern
ment that the latter government
should build and control canal
across the isthmus but would enter
into treaty for a joint Anglo-Amer-
lean protectorate over the canal.
A treaty to that effect was drawn
up and signed by minister Clayton Of
the United States and Mr.. Bulwel
on the part of England. This dis
position of the British government
is an important and tangible evi,
| dence of the sincere friendship now
existing between America and Eng.
land.
