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

This remedy is something new, both as to name
( and composition. This is on* of the wonders of the
! world. This Byrup, 1 claim, is better and more
effective than any other ever offered to the people of
! America or any other country, and what I say of
1 this I can prove, This Syrup, like the Pills, is
j harmless and safe. It contains no opium or other
1 narcotic poison, like the most Syrup, and is not dis
| agreeable to take. Any child will take it. And it
: will, cure any and all inflammations arising from
Cold. It is superior to all others in every respect
1 and especially for the following reasons:
I Ist. It will cure Croup every time.
2d. It will cure Inflammation of the Lungs.
3d. It will cure Quinsy.
4th It will cure Whooping Cough,
j sth It will cure Bronchitis,
j 6th It will cure Hoarseness.
7th It will cure Sore Throat,
j Bth It will cure any Cold.
9th It will cure Congestion of the Lungs.
10th It will cure any Cough,

TIIE LEADING AMERICAN NEWS
PAPER.
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.
