The latest case of making the govefn- ment pay double is that of Captain Keyes, of the Tenth cavalry, who is now being tried by court-martial at San An- tonio, Texas, How Monopolies are made. Chicago Tribunc. A very peculisr argument for railroad discrimination is made by an Iowa paper. It asserts that if the men who ship large quantities of freight are not given lower rates than those who send smaller amounts, *‘it is useless to talk of buliding up either manufacturing or wholesale ocentres in Towa.” Lower rates to the big men are demanded, it declares, by the wholesaling principle which gives botter termsto the larger fiuyer than to the small buyer, and it asserts it to be folly to talk of reversing the world-wide principle of wholesaling rates in the railroad busincss alone. Toall of which the answer lies on the very surface of our commercial system to-day. Nothing has contributed more to accel- erate or done more to create the remark- able tendency of our times to monster combinations and monopolies in almost every business and industry than the practice of the railroads in giving lower rates to large shippers, 1t is this which has created and which sustains the Standard Oil company. On a very large part of its business its profit consists solely of the difference of freight rates in its favor and against its competitors. This was abundantly shown in the testi- of the Lake Shore in the suit of the Cleveland refiners, Schofield, Shurmer, and Teagle, against the oil monopoly, All over the country manufacturing and commercial concerns have been built up over the heads of thoir competitors by the application in their favor of thiy wholesaling principle by accomodating freight agents. And when they have thus been made the biggest toads in their puddle these overshadowing concerns make their bigness the reason for being made bigger still by further discrimina- tions, The highways of the country must bo open to every citizen, from the richest to the humblest, on precisely the same terms. The railroad 1s a public corpora- tion, not a private one; it excercisvs governmenml powers, und it must net iscriminate between rich and poor, weak and strong. It must treat all alike—as the post office does. The wholesaling principlemust be left to work out its results in private competition, but tho charters given by the government must not be used to create and main- tain monopolies and to accelerato the tondenoy towards the accumulation of huge fortunes in a few hands Public policy forbi ‘The opposite policy from that recom- mended by our lowa contemporary is what is needed to build up the commer- cial and manufacturing industries of its state. The practico of discriminating against the small man, the beginner, will leave the people of the state in the hands of the great capitalists and rail- way pets of the east, The manufactur- ers of Pittsburg, the merchants of New Yow VYork, Ohicago and Boston, who can ship tons will always under- sell the begginner in lowa if they can get fricght rates less than he. The Towa man will bo st a sufficient disad- vantage by reason of his deficiency of capital and experience and greater pro- portionate expenses without having added to them the fatal handicap of rail- rond discrimination, It is perhaps not an entirely unimportant coincidence that the journal which makes this argument for railroad discrimination is in favor of the perpetuation of the monopolies of the present tariff, and thinks Jay Gould 18 & hero and publie benefactor, Pistols Succeed When Muscle Faile, St. Louts, February 7.—A St. Joseph 8| mn‘l says: In the village of DoKalb, 0., Columbus h}:nn,m 18 year old boy, shot and killed Jag, Mitchell yesterday afternoon, after having been worsted by in the department; he reformed the star- How long before such| Rermesextarive Donsmeimen’s bill|route service, and effected important | voked the fi granting eopyright to foreign authors for | economies with first-olass business skill, | fFiend twenty-eight years, with privilege of |The Zimcs congretulates Mr. Elmer on Mitchell in the fist fight, Spratt pro- ight because Miwhp:l‘l was a snd defender of Frank Brown,the wan who murdered Spratt's father five years ago, Bpratt gave himself up. of caution in the mothod proposed by [A mony of General-Freight-Agent Vaillant | b Lord Stoutenburg and Co., AgentsCh'cago, Ill.
