after Hayti has been overcome. While
the government would be republican In
its political Formation, 1t would be adj
ministered as a gigantic corporation, of

No one denied that this was what

was the champion. A further evidence
OF the power of these monopolies to
compel the Republican managers to
protect them in their unjust escape
from taxation was afforded when on
the 18th day of May the Republican
majority Of the legislature passed a
law by which the board of equalIza-

put out OF ONCE, and the state board

II was more than this; 1t was a DELHI
crate use Of Official power by Republi-

campaign funds at the expense of the
great body OF people OF the state. Two
lessons are to be drawn from this ex-
perience; the first is that the man

tied up to the monopoly interests of
