If the government permits the forced
sale of the Pacific railroads at a loss
to itself it will be fitting climax t.
the most monumental fraud Of the age
The history of the roads is one long
story of stupendous fraud from the
beginning. The government has hunt
ed and prosecuted with relentless en-.
ergy the petty violators of the revenue
law who sought to evade the tax on
whisky by conducting a moonshine
distillery, yet the brigands who have
managed the Pacific railroads have
swindled the government out Of ter
times more money than all the moon
sinners since the revenue laws were
first enacted. The government has nc
mercy on counterfeiter, but it stoops
to compromise with band Of brigands
who have robbed 1t of more than all
the counterfeiters since the adoption
of the constitution. If postmaster
at some country crossroads appropri-
ates seventy-five cents worth of post
age stamps the government seizes him
with an iron hand and casts him in
prison, but it condescends to plead
with the rascals who have falsely Ger.
titled to millions of acres of land which
they have net earned under the terms
of the grant, and appropriated funds
which it agreed to turn in on what ii
owed. What the government should
do is to proceed at once to take charge
Of the whole system and bring crimi.
nal suits against the brigands who
have been guilty of fraud, and are now
seeking to swindle the government out
of the greater part of it's claim.

quarter, negotiating the banks sue
cessfully, all in As seconds.
