This is bard and oppressive on those who rent,but they have learned by bit ter experience that "it Is better to bear the ilia we have thaa fly to those we VtlA Mil ftf V Ji !. r This brings me to the consideration of the growing power ot monopolies, which In this Country are assum'ng such shape and proportion, as to occa sion alarm all over the land. The mos eyed oligarchy are straining every nerve to wield their lees fortunate kins men with power hitherto unequalled. Extortionate rates oa railroads, high telegophie rates, increase in property valuation, iadispositioa to sell to the poor, town or country property 'the result of eoncentratioa of money and tnflaanee into mononolr all increase the growing evil of which we complain. The great railroad and telegraph com panies are rapidly becoming the active ruling ; power of the Republic, and their encroachments upon the public rights and the public fortune are equal ly feared and retretted. No man ob jects to railroads or the telegraph sye tem they are the wonder aad admira- 4Mt of h"wevM.- SMS UMte OMootote Eowermuat be limited and circumscribed t the public will as shown in our leg Ulaturea. and courts and halls of justice They their authorities must be made to know and feel that they are subject to a higher power the people them selves. Freight, express, and passen ger rates should be regulated by law and put within; .the reach of the ham blest working citizen. Never stop tbe extension of any of these enterprises, but let them be governed bv jast and humane laws. They are highly bene ficial as is everywhere evident, hut their benefit most be made subserf ieot to thepablie weal. :f, ' ;i; ,t I While we rejoice because of the man f benefits . that we have enjoyed, we are called apoa to lament the great trage dy that , has been eaated this year that cast a aaadow ofenrrow throughout the entire nation.
