A comparison of rates in Iowa and
Kansas, is interesting as we'll as in
structive.
Kansas has 1874 miles of road; Iowa
has S,407 miles. Kansas roads employ
81 ,225 workmen, at $14, ass, 900 per year;
Iowa roads employ 29,529 workmet, at
SIC ,54S, 900 per year. Iowa roads re-
ceive an income of $l34 ,O00, 900; Kansas
roads, of $142, 100000.
On basis of 800 miles, Iowa roads
carry wheat for Is cents per hundred;
Kansas, Is cents. Iowa roads carry
corn at IL cents; Kansas, at Is cents.
Iowa roads carry lumber for 10 cents;
Kansas, for II cents. For transporting
salt, lime, etc., Iowa charges 8 cents;
Kansas 20 cents. Iowa carries horses
and mules for q cents; Kansas, 40 cents.
Iowa carries hogs and cattle for 20
cents; Kansas for 81 cents.
In cents per hundred pounds, 800
miles, Iowa rates on first-class freight,
are Sc cents; Kansas IS cents. On sec
ond- class freight, Iowa rates are 40
cents; Kansas, 20 cents. On third-class
freight, Iowa rates are 80 cents; Kan
sas, 60 cents. On fourth class, Iowa,
20 cents; Kansas. So cents.
To maintain way and structure, Iowa

Silver.

The same fellows who sneer "dishon-
est dollar" are the dishonest rascals
who demonetized it in 1878, when it
was quoted at $1.03 in gold. Which
dollar was dishonest" then?
A silver dollar will buy as much as a
gold dollar, to-day. The silver dollar
was the standard until 1873.
The mines OF the United States, in
stead of adding to the worlds supply
of silver, have simply taken the place
OF the exhausted mines of Peru.
The production of gold is decreasing,
and is but little more than is needed in
the arts and manufactures. Commerce
is rapidly increasing, and population
too.
All the demand for silver's demoniti.
zation, has originated with bond hold.

1t seems Labor Commissioner Todd
has, by some irregular means, obtained
letter written to Judge Horton, by
lady in Pennsylvania. and has put
very extreme construction to it. We
know enough of Horton without draw
ing on the imagination; and were every
surmise ever so true, it would be better
to leave such smutty matter to the old
party press that have so long enjoyed
and reveled in a monopoly of Just such
things. Commissioner Todd's conduct
is reprehenslble to say the least, and
his being a populist, is no reason why
he should be shielded from Our honest
indignation; but is very good reason
why we should censure him severely.
BY all means, let US be fair with our
opponents, however unfair they may be
with US. The people expect it of Us,
and we owe it to the people.
