railroads were the most potent rae
tors in the development OF the coun-
try. They have caused the wilder
ness 10 blossom as the rose, we
have always been an advocate OF
railroad exter slons, just as we nave
been an advocate of more manuiac'
lures. Of higher education, OF greater
everything But we have always
contenled that this sort Of expansion
should be made on legitimate mes
that railroad men should build mp we
railroads, and railroad men shouiu
get the usufruct.
In our opinion. men like Hartman
are the greatest agitators against
railroads In The country, These men
lrc mere railroad gamblers Harrl'
nan Is not in the same class with
mn. Smith, the late Maj. Thomas,
Harahan. Finlay and the others, tie
is in some respects the worsl enemy
the railroads have ever had.
There are, of course. many Will
eyed fanatics in our state legsla
t,wes. These men are mere fools
whose as endancy will pass away
But let as consider the case Of the
chicago and Alton railroad. The
Hartman people took control OF TINS
road when it's common stock was
way above par and It's preferred was
opoted al nearly 200 Today Chicago
ana Alton preferred is worth aboul as
and common Is. Yet this eamhina-
ton made some $23,o0o.o00 ont OF
their deal Now how can anybody
nave any confidence in this property?
How can any sane man invest any
thing in this road?. He knows that
Hartman can send ptices up or down
and he would be fool to make any
Investment in this road.
Suppose that the Chicago and
Alton wanted money, It's value has
been depressed by Hartman to al
most nothing. OF course this is a
valuable property. and in legitimate
hands il is bound to go up But as
Icing as II is in Harriman's hands. no
body knows but Hartman when II
gill go up. And he Is not likely to
tell
II is. in short under present con
ditions. not a legitimate Investment.
Those who are in Mr. Harriman's con.
fdenee might make a good deal OF
money. Those who are not are
simply trying to coon mo9nbeam.
II Is This uncertainty caused by
men of the Harriman coterie that is
making the general public untrustful,
and sending money up Eliminate
The big railroad gamblers, and give
