SENATOR cuMMlNs AT DIES
MONIES.

For the past 10 years or more real
democrats have been con.ending that
the leaders of the republican party
We're deaf to the requests Of the com
mon people and exceedingly obediept
to the orders of the Interests"
This contention has at all times
been well founded, but never phrased
in more judicial language than it
was by Senator Cummins in his re-
cent Des Moines speech. Take the
+. following paragraph of his speech for
example:
Slowly, but surely, the leaders OF
the republican party in congress have
drifted into dangerous alliances with
these tremendous associations OF
wealth and power which, as / have
said, must be regulated, controlled
and restricted, unless we are willing
that they shall work their way and
their will upon the defenseless multi
tude. / do not accuse them of cor
rupt or even conscious purpose tic
fasten the chains of commercial, in
dustrial and financial slavery upon
the American people, but ! do accuse
them of breathing SO constantly the
friendly air of corporate greatness,
and of sharing so continually the
gracious inequalities that wealth

ing in all the time to carry these
charges. For that reason the rail-
road capitalization of the United
States scattered in innocent hands
throughout the world is, in moral
sense, as much part of the public
debt as the 2 per cent. bonds of the
United States.
At the end of the civil war we HAD
a public debt of $4,000, 100000 and a
little more, and the world said ''that
Nation can never pay that debit
but we have managed to reduce it.
However, we have never tired of
Boosting of the achievement which
we accomplished in paying off in
cash two-thirds of the debt incurred
by the civil war. Yet, right under
the nose of Congress, in the very
presence of the senate, in the very
midst of the Rooseveltian era, liabil.
tiles have been laid upon our rail-
ways, to be carried by the people of
tlle onlteu states, exceeding the ma
tional debt at the close of the civil
war.
Issues of stocks and bonds of these
great railway systems have been
made, more htan s3,OOO,OOO,OOO in
aggregate volume, for which the peo.
pie of the United States have not
received an additional railway facil-
llty, not depot, not another mile of
ran. not a single thing that enters
into the transportation of our wares
and merchandis. Our children. aftes
we are dead. will be paying interest
upon $1,000 100000 which have been
set afloat in this world by irrespon-
sible railway managers for the pur.
pose of harmonizing the railroad
system Of the country. for the pur.
pose of allowing one Of them to buy
the stocks of another. expanding the
liabilities of the purchaser and in no
respect reducing the liabilities Of the
corporation the interest in which
has been purchased.

THREE BILLIONS OF WATER
OUR RAILWAY STOCK

Senator Dolliver, in recent speech
on the floor of the senate, told about
the, direful practice of watering rail
way stocks. The following are par
agraphs from his speech:
There has been built in the United
States no railroad except by the peo-
pie. Every railroad liability, whether
share or a bond, represents the con
tribution of some confiding American
or foreigner to these enterprises or
some free gift to construction
company. All of these liabilities arr
in the nature of public Indebtedness
They are not. for practical purposes,
redeemable. and the probabilities are
that they will never be discharged
Dividends upon these stocks, howev-
er, must be paid; the interest upon
these bonds must be paid; the rail-
ways must have money enough com,

alone can command, that they have
come to look upon these corporations
and these instrumentalities as the
best philanthropies that can be
established. They have come to be-
lieve that the people will be better
off if they take what these associat-
ed powers are willing to give them
than they will be. if they fight for
their own rights. They listen first,
last and longest to the appeals, the
arguments and the demands of
wealth. They have fallen insensibly
into the belief that the possession of
vast sums of money is the best evil

all around them, and therefore when
a law is proposed that restricts or
reduces corpoate power, their first
inquiry is not, Will this mea-
sure bring help to the people, but,
Is it recommended by the captains o:
industry, the masters of high finance,
the directors of mighty business af-
fairs, the managers of our unparal-
leled railway system. AS have Just
suggested, these leaders of ours al;
ways find themselves so busy hear
ing what these princes of the earth
have to say about proposed legisla-
ton that they have scant time \ to
consider the wants, desires and need:
of the great mass of humanity, made
up of millions whose voices are usual
ly faint and distant, but who now
and then are heard in tones tina;

PEEcHEs OF IOWA SENATORS
AT DIES MONIES.
(From the New York World

(From the New York World
Senator Cummins in the course of
his Des Moines speech compressed
into single sentence the whole case
against Senator Aldrich, Speaker Can
non and the leaders of the Republic
can organization: Most Of them
have been brought up with these in
fluences all around them, and there
lore whenever a law is proposed that
restricts or reduces corporate power
their first inquiry is not, Will this
measuer bring help to the people?
but, Is it recommended by the cap
tains of industry, the masters of
high finance?"
There was a time when the Amer
lean people believed that slavery
would be restricted by men who did
not believe in restricting slavery. A
year ago they thought that the tar
IL would be revised downward by
men who did not believe in revisins
the tariff downward. Now they are
asked to expect adequate legislation
to control railroads and other corpor-
ATOMS from men who do not believe
in controlling corporations.
Senator DolliTer in his speech at
the same meeting that Senator Cum
minis addressed described Mr.. Taft
ss "a good man surrounded by peo-
pie who know exactly what they
want In the main they are the
same people that have been juggling
legislation ever since the Republican
party was restored to power in 1897.

TWO THREE BILLION DOLLAR
DEBTS.

The expenses of the civil war ag-
gregated $4,000, oOo,Ooo.oO. It cost
this country that vast sum to save
nation and emancipate a race. And
it has taken the nations surplus
earning of 45 years to pay two-thirds
OF that colossal war debt.
Now contrast our civil war debt
with that other $4,000, 900, 100000 debt,
which Senator Dolliver described in
his speech in the Senate in opposi-
ton to Tafts railroad bill. This debt
represents part of the water in
our railroad Indebtedness. The part,
according to Senator Dolliver, which
has leaked in during "the very
midst Of the Roosveeltian era" And
Senator Dolliyer goes further and as
serts that the people of the United
States have not a dollars worth OF
tangible property to show for this
enormous indebtedness. All that the
country has to show for this mort
gage upon the labor of its on-coming
millions is score or more of money
mad, money crazy individuals. and
few hundred of their obedient ser
wants, who call themselves Senators
and Representatives.
