The People and the Railroads.

The Manufacturers Record of re-
cent date quotes an editorial from
the Little Rock Arkansas Demo-
crat" showing the effect upon the
railroads of the country as result
of the attacks of cheap politicians
and demagogues which has resulted
in curtailed revenues and much I'M
just legislation. Commenting edi-
torial the Record says:
"The Democrat merely shows the
full fruition of the seeds planted
during the last ten or fifteen years.
From the beginning of this active
and vicious propaganda against rail-
roads and business the Manufac-
turers Record pointed out the in
evitable penalty which the people
would have to pay in lessened bust
ness and the general retrograde in
railroad construction and develop
ment.
There was nothing surer on earth
than that the gospel of hate so Wig
orously proclaimed by demagogues
would produce harvest of suffering
and poverty, not of the railroads
alone, but of the people themselves.
"The industrial depression of the
last seven or eight years and the
general inactivity are all directly
traceable to a greater or less extent
to the malign influence against rail-
roads and business corporations gen
orally, and this can be said without
palliating the sins of the railroads.
Broadly speaking the railroad men
of the country are earnestly and
honestly seeking to manage railroads
Alright and to give the public the
best facilities possible.
Antagonist between the rail
roads and the people produces ex-
actly the same results that antag-
onism and war between nations pro-
duce-both lose and neither is bene-
flied by the contest"
