C.S. RUSSELL, General lnsurnce and Keal Instate Agent, lowanda, r*a The following is a pretty plain and terse speech for the Railroad magnates to digest. It was delivered the other day by Ex-Governor Washburn of Maine, who is himself the president of a railroad com pany, and was present at a hearing on railroad monopoly before a committee of the Legislature of that State. Among other tilings, Ex-Governor Washburn said: And now, gentlemen, all we ask is jus- j tice in this matter, that the monopolies in this State shall not discriminate against the smaller enterprises. The time has come in this country when the large cor porations are devouring the smaller ones —property centering in the hands of the few. The gigantic railroad monopolies are controlling the price of property and produce by pooling freights and tariffs. One small railroad company after another is being swallowed up. The giant mon ster centralization is fast destroying the liberties of the people, and we must see one railroad after another lose its identi ty. It is true we become alarmed. The ' people iu many of the Western States J arc legislating against railroad monopo lists: they have been forced to it as aj matter of self-preservation. The rail- j road monopolists have become so strong i in this nation that they can elect Legisla- j tures, Congresses and Presidents, and j control them, too. They frame the laws ! of the land, and the people have a right j to be relieved. Thej r demand it at the doors of the legislative halls, and they wiil have it—and that speedily. If they cannon get it through legislation they will appeal to that mighty and omnipo tent lorcc which always prevails under ' like circumstances. lam 110 alarmist or j extremist. lam interested in railroads, 1 but I am compelled to accept the lawful truths which are forced upon me. The tendency of legislation at the present time is toward the destruction of the smaller enterprises and corporations and in the interest of the monopoly. The great middle class is being crushed out of existence, and society is being divided into two classes—the very rich few and the dependent and pauperized mass. The President's chief objection to the Refunding bill was the fifth section which has been severely criticised, and was ob jected to by Secretary Sherman. In clos ing his veto message, the President says : In short, I cannot but regard the fifth section as a step iu the direction of the destruction of the national banking sys tem. Our country, after a long period of business depression, has just entered up on a career of unexampled prosperity. The withdrawal of currency from circula tion by the national banks and the en forced winding up of banks iu conse quence, would inevitably bring serious embarrassments and di sastcr to the busi ness of the country. Banks of issue are essential instruments of modern com merce. If the present efficient and ad mirable system of banking is broken down, it will inevitably be followed by a recurrence to other inferior methods of banking. Any measure looking to such a result will be a disturbing element in our financial sj'stem. It will destroy confidence and surely cheek the growing prosperity of the country. Believing that the measure for the re funding of the national debt is not neces sarily connected with the national bank ing law, and that any refunding act would defeat its own object if it imperill ed the national banking system, or seri ously impaired its usefulness, and being convinced that section five of the bill be fore me would, if it should become a law, work great harm, I herewith return the bill to the House for that further consid eration which is provided for in the con stitution Eight thousand acres of land in Lacka-! waxen township, Pike county, Penna., ! were sold by the Sheriff last Friday for I #l3 ,000. When the Erie Railway was in j course of construction the value of the j same property was estimated at $200,000. I rS^rF > JBl>£Sß'f GVEOB. FA. AMD X. T. E. E. Train* on tho Pa. & N. T. R.

The .Vtpir 1 *ork Tribune FOR 1881. | The Largest Circulation Among the Best People. I During the past year the New York Tribune ; reached the largest circulation it ever attained, with I ihe single exception of a short period in the first Lfncoln administration. It is a larger circulation, j and more widely distributed over the whole country I than anyev.r enjoyed by any other newspaper in j the United States. This fact may be taken as the ! verdict of the American people on the Tribune's ! political force, its fidelity to sound principles, and j its merits as a newspaper. For 1881, the Tribune will try to deserve equally well of the public. What and how much it did for the success of General Garfield it is content to let earnest Republicans tell. It now hopes to give to his Administration a discriminating support as ef fective as its efforts for his ©lection. The Tribune will labor for, and It confidently ex pects the incoming Administration to promote, a free and fair suffrage, Bouth and North, sound money, protection to Home Industry, judicious lib erality in Internal Improvements, and a Civil Service conducted on business principles, on the theory of elevating, not of ignoring or degrading politi . Every citizen who helped to bring in this Admin istration should watch its course. The events to be recorded in the Tribune for 1881 will therefore have a peculiar interest. The year promises besides to show whether the South will still sacrifice every, thing to solidity; and whether the Democratic party after twenty years of disloyalty and defeat, will dissolve or reform. Abroad it will show whether England can compose Ireland; whether the Repub- I lie in France, without the support of the leaders j who established it, can stand alone; whether the | Turk ean longer pollute Europe. In Science it promises such practical triumphs as the use of elec tricity for gas, new modes of heating, and new forms of power in place of steam. In Literature and Art it offers the very flower of our nineteenth century development; in Religion, a concentration of force, and union of organization on simpler creeds and better work. No intelligent man will he willing to live through the year without reading of these things; and he will be wise to look for them in the journal which has long enjoyed the distinction of the largest cir culation among the best people. This position The Tribune secured and means to retain by becoming the medium of the best thought and the voice of the best conscience of the time; by keeping abreast of the highest progress, favoring the freest discussion, hearing all sides, appealing always to the best intel ligence and the purest morality, and refusing to cater to ths tastes of the vile, or the prejudices of the ignorant. Ths well-known special features of the Tribune will be seduously maintained. Its Agricultural De nartment will remain the fullest and best The HoUßehotd and the Young Folks' Department, the literary, scientific and religious features, the stand ard market reports, will all be kept up, and, as op portunity offers, sxteaded.
