IOWA AND THE Beers.

Beers was introduced into the Iowa
legislature. It was killed by vote Of
tifty-seven to twenty-five. The minor

and sixteen Democrats The majority
were all Republicans. The six Repub-
llcans voting for the resolution were
from counties having large German
and Dutch vote. Those fifty-seven
Republicans were wise and thought

be cruel to censure the British for
their cruel war in Africa when Nc

HOW TO STRIKE A TRUST.

II would take congress only an hour
or two to pass the following resou-
ton, which would operate manlfestly
in tho public interest, but the power OF
monopoly ls too great for the resist
ance OF the men who we're elected 10
leglslate for the people:
Resolved, That the duties on print
Ing paper, which shelter gigantic
trust monopoly In the work Of spoila-
ton, and which are a tax on popular
education and knowledge, be and tho
same hereby Observation-Disclosures
Record.
The above remedy might partially
cure the evils complained OF, and II
would certainly do some good, but the
Omaha Nonconformist gives n better
remedy. The government uses an Inn
mense amount Of paper In the public
service, and II ought to get 1t at the
lowest possible price, lnasmuch as
the paper trust is robblng the govern
ment as we'll as the people, why
should not the United States make It's
own paper and get Its raw material
where It can be had the cheapest?
Why could 1t not also manufacture all
the paper needed in the country, charg-
Ing triAe over cost to cover expenses?
Wouldn't this wake up all the trusts
and bring them to a realizing sense of
their awful condition? The paper
trust by Its open and bare-faced ex-
tortion has made itself a public enc
my, 1t is entitled to no kindly consid-
Grafton, and 1t ought to be crushed by
the peoples trust When this is done
there will no longer be a tax on popu-
lar education and universal knowledge,
