|. We hold that when corporation or
other aggregation Of capital attempts to step
out of the sphere of the legitimate business
for which it was originated and interfere in
the politics Of the country, that moment it
becomes the most dangerous element known
in moder': governmental Affairs and should
be sternly resisted by every citizen who de-
sires the perpetuation o. American institu-
tions.
=. That the oppression of ard liscrinina-
tion against the people of the State Of Neva-
da by foreign CORPORATION styled the Central

the sEiri, If ircemen can longer qri2tly sub
mt thereto; that Its expressions and dis
crimina;ions chiefly consist in its refusal to
s'io ard deliver directly to stations in our
state merchandise purchased in Eastern
markets ny our merchants and citizens, and
in compelling them to ship their merchandise
thus purchased to San Francisco or Sacra-
mcnto and pay large additional frcg hts there
on; also, in refusing to ship our products
East unless the slippers pay a bonus in ox-
ira trei2ht money greater than tho price Of
freight to and from san FranCisco or Sacra-
mento; by which discrimination and orprcs-
sion our mining interests and other industries
are daartcd our merchants compelled to re-
mann retailers and our people impoverished.
the general business Of our State degraded,
its development and progress retarded,
and capitalists and others deferred from con-
structing manufactures and investing there
i'll within our state: and We respectfully sug-
gest to the Congress Of the rted States and
to our State legislature. the importance OF
such legislation in matters rs will meet .hc
eXiscncics of the case.
