The ryrant Thro,tisd a, Last.

Awhile ago tie Iowa people got the idea
they would throw off the crushing weight
OF railroad monopoly. and the enacted
laws and enforced them in way to make
the wicked railroad tyrsnts understand
they conldn' tyrannize In Iowa.
1t didn't take long for the hated tyrants
to take the hint Having been told by the
legislature and the courts and the ne VS.
papers that they weren't wanted, they have
got out of the. way as quickly and com-s
pletely rs possible. Those who had any Of
the tyrannical securities sold them out al
any price they could get, and further
schemes Of despOtic extensions had no
chance whatever.
Last year not one mile of railroad was
buiit in Iowa. The railroad interests OF
that great slate are p-ostrate. The tyrant
IL dead; tbs mOnster monopoly groans
under the heel OF virtuous people.
And yet they are not happy. They have
ruined the railroads and psralyzed their

relate, they are not rioLing IN excess Of
wealth and prosperity. What q riddle this
must be to the horny handed granger
