PROPOSED RAILROAD ALLIANCE.
Plan of Campaign Mapped Out by
Trunk Line Combine.

chicago RECORD.
IF congress does not permit us to pool
we will consolidate" is virtually the posi-
ton of the railroad interests of the country
today. The railroad managers will be
driven to consolidation as the only means
of saving themselves from ruinous competi-
ton unless stability of rates is secured in
some other manner. The process of con-
sClidation is now going on and is not likely
to be checked until all the roads are united
into a gigantic railroad trust. unless con-
gress, through the exercise of its regulative
lower, shall intervene to protect the carriers
themselves as well as the public from the
evils of rate discrimination.
According to the newe reports there is
now in progress an offensive and defensive
alliance Of the great roads of the country
with a view of putting an end TO the evils
of which complaint is made. The weakness
Of such an alliance is that there is no way
Of enforcing the regulations agreed upon.
1t is likely to share the fate of other gen
tlemen's agreements" Only legal consoli-
dation or agreements made under authority
of law, which should be under the strict SUI
pervision of the Interstate Commerce COM
mission, can prove effective, However, the
terms of the proposed alliance are interest
ing as indicating what the railroad man
tbNlo hNSllt ~ tAADllAll4'Ns ~ Nll' ANH
basic propositions on which the proposed al
lance is to rest four deal with The relations
of the general public to railroads and are
as follows:
To resist the demands of all big cor
porations for rebates ana to cooperate
with the Interstate comm.s s
sion in the maintenance Of law and rates.
To establish both the anthracite and hi
luminous coal trades on a permanently
profitable basis.
To abolish d]iTerentials at the Atlantic
seaports and establish a grain tariff from
prevailing market price of the cereal.
To take uD and provide for a settle
meni OF the labor question as far as pos
s.ble.
The first proposition indicates that the
railroads themselves feel the power of the
great trusts, that are able, by playing one
carrier against another, TO secure favorable
rates or rebates. Because of this fact the
railroads are beginning to look with more
favor on the interstate law and
are likely in the future TO offer less objec-
ton to the extension Of the powers of the
Interstate Commerce commission.
The idea of a sliding scale for the trans
po.tation OF grain to the seaboard may not
be acceptable to grain raiseTs. The plan
proposed is equivalent 10 laying an ad va
loren tax on grain transported to the sea
board without regard to the cost of the SER
vice to be performed, It is evident that the
public, as well as the railroads, ought TO
have some voice in the determination Of any
such policy. Hence the importance Of legis-
lation dealing comprehensively with the sub
ject that shall make the Interstate Com
merce commission an important factor in all
attempts 10 control the rate situation.

should have weight with congress, hut
it would be unsafe TO predict its adop.
ton. since und ubtcdly it will be Wig
orously opposed by the railroads, as in
the case of previous efforts to strengthen
the law and make 1t more effective. At
tcnti5n is called to the schemes of rail
road combination and it is pointed out
that if these are brought TO effective re.
suits the restraints of competition upon
excessive and unjust rates will in this
way be avoided and whatever evils may
result will be rcmcdilcsS under existing
laws.
That the Interstate commerce law is
not accomplishing what it was intended
to everybody knows and while there
may he reasonable objection TO some n
the amendments which the commission
proposes, there is no question that lcgiS-
lation is needed to give the law greater
vitality and effect.

'..
Senator Stewart Of Nevada is making dcs-
porato pluugcs to get out OF the dctCstCl field
o. populism into the fat pastures OF the re-
publican party. lie wishes only to reserve
the privileges OF occasionally bowling in the
senate at the british gold bugs and OF
paying homage to the l6 to I silver idol.
with this reservation he is willing to sup
port the republicans on the tarin. expansion
and everything else in return for a few
favors accorded to him by the republicans
OF the senate. Senator Butler Of North Caro-
lima. chairman OF the populist national com
mittec. is ready to make the same terms In
view OF the approaching dissolution Of popu-
ism in the old Tar state. Ex-senator
PETER OF Kansas, anticipating these populist
statesmen, has already carried what remains
Of his political assets into the republican
camp.
Could there be more significant signs than
those that the populist party is on its last
legs The OCala platform, with It's schemes
of unlimited fiat money and its eNtrayagant
dreams Of state socialism, has already almost
disappeared beneath the political waves, and
only a small plank or two occasionally
comes to the surface. ny the time or the
meeting OF the next democratic national con-
vcntion there will hardly be a remnant left
of tho party OF populism loutsidc OF Ne
braska) for forming another popocratic
coalition like the abortive alliance Of 1896.
The faction Of republican silvcrites which
has it's habitat in the Rocky mountain
states is travelling the same road with popu-
lism, having mono to represent its coalition
with the democrats in the senate Of the
United states save Messrs. Teller Of Colo
RADIO and PcttiErew of South Dakota.
This condition Of affairs ought to afford
a sufficient warming of the futility as well as
danger that would lie in any attempt Of the
democrats to shape their platform and nomi-
nate their candidate for the presidency this
year with the hope Of a fresh alliance with
populism and republican silverism. There
are no birds in these last years nests.
