Some Monopolies.

The railroad corporations, which
charge exorbitant and killing rates
in all cases where there is no com
petition; which discriminate in ia
vor of one section at the expense of
another; combine together to tax
the hard working producers and
the laboring mechanics, by fixing
high freight rates, to add to their
own enormous and useless riches,
and use those riches, obtained by a
"bread tax" to bribe and currupt
legislators and judges. and usurp
the powers of government.
The telegraph company, which
owns all the wire (save an infi-
Intestinal amount) in America,
and charges more than double the
rates in vogue in Europe discrini
nate against small towns in favor Of
large cites; and yet is quite inef
| ficient in the conduct of what is
really public business, as much as
are the mails carried by the gov
ernment
Worse still: All the telegraph
roads of the country, are controlled
by one man, Jay Gould, who recog-
nizes no right but the right of
might, who possesses more power
over the destinies of this people
than our president, and more power
than any king in Europe, and Is rap
idly increasing his vast wealth and
accomplishing his despotic ambi
tions.
The "protectionist" tariff on
clothing, fuel, implements of hus-
bandry; on ships (the means of
cheap transportation on iron and
coal Tor all railroad and machinery
uses, thus taxing every pound of
freight carried, and every article of
manufacture, which the producer
and mechanic have to pay. A "pro-
tectionist' tariff as opposed TO a
tariff for revenue. means protection
of wealthy manufacturers at the ex-
pense of the hard working produc-
ers and consumers of bread and
meat.
Patent laws, which permit manu-
fscturers to charge any price they
please for implements and machin-
cry of all kinds, and thousands OF
article in daily use by the people,
beyond all necessities of "intro-
duction."
The Standard Oil Company
which controls all the oil (ssve a
snail fraction) burned in the
houses of farmers and country peo
pie, charges any price it p!eases;
ruins hundreds of weaker rivals,
and taxas the bread and labor OF
the country to enrich a few men to
amounts of scores of millions of dol
lars each.
The treaty with the Sandwich
Islands, which permits the importa-
tion of sugar from that country
free of duty, to the advantage OF
one man, who controls the trade,
colludes with the railroads TO pre-
vent transportation from the east
compels the people of the Pacific
coast to pay whatever price he is
pleased to charge while all other
countries must pay duty for sell

Mississippi and Texas have 122,-

pine lumber, enough to supply the

There Is scarcely a malady to
which the horse is subject that is

they are equally transmissible aud
