MONOPOLIZING BUSINESS,

On January list. of this year. the Santa Fc
for the special benefit of the miners EN-
piOyed there. 1t is success, anl ten days
ago another one was established ut the new
Santa &c town of Toluca. Ill. These are but
the beginning of a system of general stores
that will be established by the com psny al
mining towns all over it's lines-Tcpeka
Capital.
1t is questionable whether a trans.
portation company ought 10 engage in
the business of mining coal or selling
goods. If railroad company may
legitimately engage in the business of
mining coal and selling supplies to its
employees why may it rot establish
stores in all the great cities. No mer-
chant could successfully compete WITH
them OH account OF the railroad rates.
The railroad could make the oppnsi-
ton merchant pay all the freight and
get its own goods shipped for nothing
If slis system were carried to its
utmost limit the entire business Of the
country would be eventually monopo-
lied by the railroads. The Railroads
already seem to control some of the
Kansas newspapers and why rot own
few wholesale ami retail stores, and
any number Of FARMS Wica,ta Beacon.

: The futi!ity of state regulation of

private ownership is shown in the COLI
certed action of the railroads of this
state in ignoring the law passed by the
Legislature last winter, requiring rail-
road coR,pan,es to put in can scales at
every station at .wl,icl, Ole hundred
cars of grain had been shipped the
previous year. This law was passed
10 prevent the wholesale and syste NJ
attic stealing of grain that had been
carried on. It seems the railroads
have concluded to defy the law, and
yesterday meeting of railroad attor-
neys WAS held at Topeka to devise i.
scheme to defeat the law. The chances
ARE ten to one they will discover Il
technical defect in the law which our

TIFF PEOPLES PARTY an NEH
ZEALAND.

Only few years ago New Zealand's
financial standing was in IA very pre-
curious condition, says the Boston
Transcript. Political partisanship
brought the country to what seemed
irreparai.le bankruptcy. Thereupon
The farmers and labOrers united and
put their own people III power by
Ousting the old parties at the ballot.
England tlereupon prophesied the
country's complete downfall; the
England banks withdrew their capital;
the landed aristOcracy sold their lands
for what they could get and left the
country. as they feared reign of all
alchy. The new government reduced
expenses One-third, created an income
tax OH all incomes over sI5O, abolished
I'D roloren tax OIL property, put a tax
OH land', especially uncultivated lands,
which forced the large land owners TO
sell out i'll parcels to farmers, the tax
rate OIL land being gradually increased
from one-eIghth pence OIL tile pound
sterling for.land valued at $4,000, mp
to one and tllree-fouIths pence Oh the
pound When the property was worth
f2OO, 900.
The next care was to provide for the
accommodating surplus. Under the old
. parties in 1886 the exr 0rts were co.
600, eco, and in 1890, under the new
government, exports increased to- 60,
500, 900, and for 1892 The figures were
still larger. lrrigating bitches were
constructed SO that the exports of
fruit in 1856 of 10000, 900 pounds
were increased to $4,000, 600 pounds in
1892. The present year the colony has
$50 factories in operation, turning
out produce to the value OF $500
900. AL this has been achieved by
the farmers and wOrkingmen' party
