spect to railroad agreements, this one
was also violated. 1 need say nothing
about the building east of the Missouri
river; but. in the mad scramble of the
eastern roads invading the territory
west of the Missouri river to obtain the
best advantages and locations, and the
roads already west of the Missouri
river to protect their own territory,
everything was confusion. and the ill
advised schemes then put in operation
soon became burden upon the people
to maintain, because they contributed
very largely and materially to their
construction, every dollar of which,
whether as public aid in the shape of
bonds and stocks. or private subscrip-
tons or donations. was lost to the peo-
pie.
The Railroads Lost Nothing.
The railroads, however. lost. nothing;
they, in fact, passed through receiver
ships, and extinguished all their obli-
cations to the people and the individ-
uals. but not to their promoters and
magnates; they naturally won what
the people and the individual lost

might say were foreordained to meet
that end. If they had not failed in one
manner, they must necessarily have
found another. This is not new infor-

the point, the facts must necessarily be
stated.

withstanding the fact that the rail-
roads then. and almost to the present
time, have been in full possession and
control not only of themselves. but
also of the government. The truth,
however, of the matter is that the
railroads, for some years prior to
1892, had been run entirely from finan-
cial considerations which some have
incourteously called stockjobbing;

sequently stopped. the earnings were
again used to rehabilitate the prop
erty.
The people thus gained in the in
creased value of the railroads, both
as objects of taxation and as public
conveniences. By the same sort of
reasoning we should now say that, as
the people have gained by the re-
establishment of proper railroad
facilities, they were the cause.
