state senators were grossly intoxicated;
that the senate's rules Were over-ridden

THE EFFECT OF MORE MONEY.

1t would be equivalent to reduction OF
railroads rates nne-half.
1t would be equivalent to a reduction
of salaries aud 4 IS one-half.
1t would be a equivalent to a reduction
of taxes one-half.
1t would doole the value of every
mans farm.
1t would double the value of his live
stock.
It would double the value of every
bushel of corn.
II would .uuble the value of every ton
of hay.
It would double the present rate OF
wages.
It would light the fires of every furnace
aud give employment to millions of idle
men.
1t would build new railroads and de-
velope new sources of wealth that have
hitherto lam idle.
1t would erect new factories that would
manufacture, out OF the raw material pro.
duced in tle country. hundreds of things
that we buy in foreign lands.
It would give employ ment at remuner-
alive wages to millions Of men in the fac.
tories, workshops and mines, who in turn
will buy the products Of the farm at a
lively price.
1t would set every wheel in motion,
every forge to blazing, and every farm
would be worked to its fullest capacity
to supply the demand for provisions for
the great army of workmen employed in
other occupations.
It would break the force Of the money
power and secure an equitable distribu.
ton Of the profits Of industry to those
who produce the wealth Of the country.
1t would enable the farmer, the me-
chanic. the miner and every man who
earned his bread lin the sweat of his
face to educate his children and fl,
them for the struggle in life.
It would diminish crime, improve the
moral condition of the people, promote
temperance, increase the happiness OF the
industrial masses and insure national
prosperity.

Silver State: Why did slavery ever
exist? There was money in it. A fat
retainer in the hands of the lawyer will
secure brilliant and learned counsel and
acquittal in case in which if truth and
Justice be regarded the accused should go
to the gallows or the pentcntiary. Why?
There IS money in it. Thousands Of peo-
pie may faint under the lash of oppressive
legislation. and drag out a miserable ex.
istance under tyrannical rule, and this at
time when so-called patriots are squee.
zing the tail of the American eagle until
he screeches. Why! There is money in
it, We have beer suffering for twenty
years because of the iniquitous act Of 1878
demonetized silver; and yet we can get no
redress from those who have the power
to grant it. Why? There is money in
it, Yes; there is money in 1t; but it is for
the few, while the many may toll. and
sweat, and sweat and toll, and then die
in poverty's hut and be buried in the
potter's field.

SCREWS TURNED ANOTHER NOTCH.

Deadwood Independent: Usually rail.
road companies are satisfied to defeat all
legislation placing restrictions upon their
extortions, but they Went u step father
with The late South Dakota legislature
and secured law which practically ties
the hands of the board of railway com.
missioners, by prohibiting them from es-
tablishing rate lower than will pay ex-
penses of the road. includin princely sal.
aries to a hoard Of useless grass-collared
officials and IN income OF per cent
upon the stock. This per cent upon
the stock means ut least 81 per cent upon
the actua! investment. Here is an apt
illustration: When it comes to paying
taxes. Dakota railroad officials swear that
their roads are only worth $1,000 per
mile, and they pay taxes on that sum
only, but when it comes to taxing the
people to pay interest on their invest
ment" they swear that the roads are worth
S45, 600 per mile and must have per cent
upon that sum. Was more outrageous
theft ever perpetrated upon the people
than this, and was more subservient
gang of railrogues ever congregated than
that recently convened at Pierre under the
name of South Dakota Legislature?
What would have been said il law
had been passed establishing such rates
Of transportation upon farm products as
would enable farmers to earn per cent
upon their actual investment to say
nothing of fictitious value of 300 per
cent? And yet they are just as much en-
titled to reasonable return upon their
investment rs are the railroads. But for
the past ten years farming in the west
has been carried on at actual loss, because
the greatest share OF the value of farm
products has been taken by the railroads
to pay interest upon watered stock. while
the farmers have been compelled to mort
gage their farms to eke out a living for
their families.
Recognizing these wrongs the board of
railway ommissioners of Iowa esta blished
a schedule of rates which gave a reason
able return and left something to the pro-
ducers. The railroads fought the sched-
ule to the bitter end, but were defeated at
every point. They contended that the
rate established would not pay the cost
of operating the roads, but under the
lower rates The traffic so increased as to
much more than compensate for tn" red
uction in rates. But if there is anything
grinding to railroad magnet, it is to be
subservient to- any law or authority
Acting from this motive, they have taken
the bull by the horns in this state and got
"a law prohibiting the railway commiss-
toner's from interfering with their pastime
of sklnning the people. The law IS very
ingeniously famed and no rates can be
established which are not satisfactory to
the railway magnets. Especially. IS this
true while the present three corporation
tools occupy the supreme bench. 7.., y
