five cents. Why it sells higher here
than in the Atlantic States, is thus ex-
planned by the Chronicle of last Sunday:
at is understood that the refiner here
TClaus Spreckles] pays the railroad $40
"a ton upon $500 tons Of freight, which
it does not carry, from New York to San
Francisco. The refiner, by paying this
subsidy of 100000 per annum to the
railroad to keep Eastern sugars out Of
this market, is thereby enabled to
charge, and does charge, two cents n
pound over the New York price for all
the sugar consumed upon this coast"
While this system, it is said, puts thous-
ands of dollars into Mr. Spreckles' pock-
cts each day, it must be remembered
that sugar forms but an insignificant
factor in the numerous articles of con-
sumption. Perhaps, however, some
idea of the magnitude of the tribute
that is daily exacted from the people by
the giant corporations Of the country
can thus be reached. The manufactur-
ing industrie. and the railway systems
do not indulge in any healthy competi
ton, but, after fitful attempts to destroy
conflicting businesses, unite under a
"pooling" arrangement in the common
cause Of robbing the people. That they
are enabled to So successfully pursue
such course, is due to the pernicieus
policies that have been adopted by our
government, and to improvident and
corrupt legislation. Another period in
our national existence will arrive, and
at no distant day, when the oppression
of the monied powers of this country
will be so strongly felt as to be no longer
endured, and then the government will
be called upon tc adopt radical measures
for graduating the evil she has brought
upon herself. The sooner this work is
begun the better it will be for the ceun-
try. The issue is inevitable.
A dispatch from Salt Lake Monday |
states that the case of the United States
vs.. George Q. Cannon, Congressional |
Delegate for Utah, on a suit brought to
annul Campbell's certificate on the
ground of fraud, etc, was decided |
against Cannon by Chief Justice Hunter
Monday. The Court held that Can
mons certificate of naturalization was |
null, void and fraudulent. 1t sustains
Governor Murray in granting certif-
cate of election to Campbell, the Gen
tile candidate. This is one of the most |
important decisions ever made in favor
of the Gentiles in Utah, and there is
much excitement in the city over it.
The High School Literary Society of
Virginia City has been declared illegal
by Principal Gray of that place. 1t was
of young ideas of the public
schools, who packed revolvers on their
persons, and in an indiscreet moment |
one of the " shoots " of Principal Gray |
exhibited his idol in the way of a white
handled bulldog. The Enterprise de-
votes half-column editorial to the sub
ect, when spanking argument would
have covered the business.
One Of the first acts of Secretary |
Lincoln when he assumed office was to
send for Col. r. n. Scott and obtain
from him copy of a letter preserved
among the records of the war, and ad
dressed by President Lincoln to General
Meade after the battle of Gettysburg.
That letter urged General Meade to fol-
low up his advantage without delay,
md So id in substance: If you succeed,
Ill the glory and honor shall be yours
# you fail, l will take the responsibility.
Mr.. Lincoln added If you succeed, de-
stroy this letter; if you fail, keep it
Tor your v1ndication. Never was more
patriotic and magnanimous letter writ
ten, and we'll might son desire to pre-
serve such a record of such father
The great heart Of Lincoln was shown
n the fact that when the news of Lees
