mechanic and the day laborer; gives no return
through any channel to those whom
ARE the legitimate result of our pres

the farmer. We favor the Australian system of

control Of railroads and other corporations, and
approve the same as an efficient means Of pro-
&ttecting the people against unjust discrimina-
