We are told that the bronze statue
of Jefferson which stands in front Of
the Matte House at Washington is
rapidly going to destruction. It is
covered with verdieris, which is fast

blematic of the Declaration Of In

Tie vsrligris IF fanstieism and abso

Capitalization has given place to
aoccntrali zation. Tie constitutions

Iy defined and established by his sys-
item, have been absorbed in the mel-

iltical corruption, which were abhor-
rent to to bis honest. upright nature,
now characterize the bastard system

such government as we have now is
as much ont ofplaee as would be lhe

There is an old English provcrb to
the effect that one man may steal Il
horse with impunity while another is
hung tor looking ever the hedge at
one. The unequal and inexact justice
illustrated in this Yorkshire axiom
prevails in this country to-day on
a much broader scale than it did in
England when horso-stealing was a
capital crime. \ frisndlcss rascal
without political interest, who ab.
stracts tea dollars from tho pocket of
citizen, is sent to the state prison
for term Of years. Nobody, save
the wretched thief himself, objects
to that. Society must be protected
against petty larceny. The law must
be made terror to pettifogging
scamps. But how is it with the
wholesale rcbbors--fcllows whose
schemes Of r'uudcr embrace millions
upon millions Of dollars? What
should be the punishment OF league
Of miscicants who consplre to depre-
clate the circulating, medium of the
nation to the extent Of sixty or eighty
millions and succeed? Could ali the

ed in We'll street last week in about
forty eight hours. And what was tie
villainy called: Simply an "opcra-
tion.' A clique Of sw;ndlers who
have the assurance to call themselves
gentlemen, "operated for rise in
gold.' What was the result Of their
plot? A frightful cutting down Of
the purchasing power of tie whole
hcating capital Of the country. Eve
ry poor mans paper dollar was re-
duecd in value some ffteen cents in
forty eight hours. The whole dome;-
tic and foreign trade Of tie nation
was derangcd. All this was done,
and much more than this, by Il wick
ed coalition perhcps twcnty spccu-
lators whom it would be base aattery
to call common swiudlers. A few
centuries ago, in England, clipping
the coin Of the realm was punishable
by torture and death. The act is

The Profit on Iowa wheat.
4 few days x.nee VIC pulGshed -tha

actual quotations of, wheat through
out Iowa, showing that 30 cents per
bushcl was the average price that the
farmer now obtains, though ths .vssk
fact is that large proportion Of tha
wheat now selling does not bring that
price What do the farmers Of Iowa
thirk this same wheat is now selling
for in New York? Our market quo. q
,ations, published each day, sbeed
that it brings from 81 25 to $l.2S. :
That is. somebody makes Is centa, :.
per bushel out of the products Of our
Iowa farmers. Aud who is it that
thus profits SO largely out Vt their :;
sweat and toll? The railroad and !.
transportation companies. 1t does
not cost for carrying, storage ana.
elevating more than 20 ccuts per
bushel to set down bushel of lows
wheat in the New York market
But to be liberal, call the actual cx-
pcnse IS cents per bushe), and we
thus see that clear profit of SO cents
per bushel, the original cost hero in 4
Iowa, is made by somebody, and :,
that somebody is the railroad aud
transp 7rtation companies.
Now, VIC contend that this 80 cents
prof. should 60 into the pocket Of ,
the farmer, and not inte the pocket i.
Of tho mid lle-man.
We contend that if things were as
they should be, wheat to-day wsuld >
be worth 100 cents per hushel in
Iowa, instead Of 30 cents ...~...
We contend that all such enormous
profit should 20 to the producer and
not to the carrier. 1885,.
We contend that if the river towns. -
Dubuque, McGregor, Clinton. Mus.
ea;ine, Davenport, burlington and
keohuk, were left to conpete with
Chicago, this wheat could>be shipped
to New York via Mississippi river
aud New Orleans for lG to Is ceAt1
per bushel As has been demonstrated
could he done. .--- ..--.
We contend that the discrin,inat-
ing tariff rates uf Iowa railroads arc
the.eauso of his treutle by which :
every Iowa farmer loses 50 cents per-
5ushel ca his wheat. = ..s. ssw
. We contend that il. is the duty Of
the Lowa legslatpre to compel tho
Iowa railroads to tes just to Iowa
farmers.
We contend that orr Iowa peopls
should make such bazzing in the u
ears OF their senators and represeuta-
tises as will compel them to be just
to !oYa rather than oyer-generous to
corporations. - Dubuque Herald.
