IS HIGHWAY ROBBERY WORSp? Any Worse Than Whatt Why, Any Worse Than Railroad Rates That Practically Confiscate a Producer's Property. Bj WM. LAI' R IK We have for nearly a year been watching the struggle that ha9 been going on in this State and other Southern States, between the people producers, consumers, and the manufacturing and mercantile in terests on one side, and our collossal railroad corporations that bestride the country and attempt to dictate everything from freight and passen ger rates to the legislation that should be enacted where the legis tiou touches them on the other side. In the outset let me say, I am no enemy to icorporated wealth man aged by just laws. Nor am I an i enemy of the railroads. So long as j they are, as they were chartered to be the aervauts ot the people, and are "common cairiers" at rates that j will "live and let live." j The railroads and water courses of our country are the arteries that j feed our commercial life, and repre- sent the very life blocd of all inter- state and international pioaperity, ; for through them the surplus of one section becomes the sustennuce of another section, and through them the treat prouuc'ng class of our : country are brought in touch with j the millions of consumers in our; large cities, who do not grow an ear of corn, or a gram of wheat. See-i jng th;.t the railroad coi porations oc- cupy so vital a position as affecting our present and future, and that j there ia no great crop truck, tobac- i co, cereals or cotton ttiat doea not) will ever satisfy men of honest grit, depend largely upon the service of , who know what is right, and only these railroads in determining their ! demand what is right. The rail value, it :s equally ilear that cor- j load magnates who, by hook or bv porations having so much power, crook have grown to be multi-mil-should not be autocratic hi thtir , lionaires, had as well inke the most management, but should be held to of the.e present exalt ttio s. The strict accountability, and be made time is coming when they will hae to serve the public not in the in- to show hands ni.d settle with the terest of stock gamblers and spw:u- people, and this settlement is what lahrs, but upon the principle f the magnates are afraid of. 'the greatest good to the greatest 1 number. There has never, within my mem ory, been a chaitc-r granted to a railroad that the chief argument used to secure that charter was not proclaimed from one eud of the State to the other Grant this 1 charter to benefit your own people and enhance the value of your own land." Thus charters were granted railroads were built that generally broke the original incorporators. These railr.ads passed into alien hauda, aud lo, we see wouderful changes. llailroads that were built for the benefit of the people, over whose lauds thev were constructed, havelAllth'ltl",""-M'hil'lrt'1'!"l iki'ui'r:-,"l! Knnmo rvnorl;,.it-ml mtU nt ll ..r ,1" 'l sla' the build "I death. SI roads. Huge corporations were or ganized; mergers were made; large issues of stock were put upoa the '. market. Millions of watered stock that cost the owners not one penny, but a printer's bill, are put as a bur den upon the earning power of the railroads. And, these cormorants are now demanding dividends upon their eutire holdings, which, as they claim, justifies them in demanding rates of freight that are too burden some to be patiently borne. The railroads have become the football of wall street, instead of being in the hands of the most honest and sane business men of the country, who would use their talent' and re sources to keep pure these great ar teries of our national lue. I Not satisfied with ail that they are now twisting out or tne nam worked producer tke Southeastern Tariff Association are proposing another advance in freight rates, and a kick has begun in earnest, as Judge Emory Speer has enjoined them from such an advance, so far as Georgia is concerned but the other States are catching it. Take for instance the melon trade of North Carolina, and I speak es pecially of the counties of Robeson, Scotland and Cumberland. There has been in these counties, a great outlay in labor and fertilizers, and the watermelon and cantaloupe growers have toiled bard and pro duced a fairly good crop of each, with pecuniary results that are sim ply outrageous. I saw an account sale from New York, which gives my readers soma idea of the wholesal confiscation that has been practiced by the railroads, and should make it clear that some thing should be don to protect the poor producer. Account sale of one car watermelons (containing about 1.055) sold in New York 140.00 - Charges . Freight $117.72 Commissions 14.00 $131.72 Net 8.25 HILL, Maitoa, H. C 1 Tbeie is but one omission to this sale the railroad should have added: Stealage $8.28 and taken the whole pile. The cost to the producer for that carloud ot melons was not less than $40.00. Do the railroads think this war fare is going to stop, so long as they are robbing the people in this waj? Nay, verily! The people' mes sage to theui is the same that Paul Jones seut to the officer who de manded the surrender of his vessel: "Tell thetn I hate just begun to The rai'.rorils are too important a part of our great commercial life to be longer intrusted to the bands of stock robbing gamblers, who are making their money not by the earnings of their railroads so much as by nianipulat ng a rise or fall in the Wall street market, llailroads will all be organ l.al bv law, and every corporation will have to show how it was capitalized snd the "jiiestion of charges for service rendered to the people, will have to 1 settled not by the men who want a big dividend on watered stock, but by men who will be running the roads on a safe, sane, paying basis, as true servitors of both "coi porations and people men satisfied to crn f.r the roads only a fair income upon an honest investment.
