At last the house refused to appro-
pirate the money for the rental of
the old custom house in New York
which the government sold to Rookie
feller's bank seven years ago for 3d.
200, O0O. The money was placed in the
bank, but title did not pass. on one
pretext or other, and so ali the time
the government has been paying $780,
600 year rental for the property it
sold. and the bank has been using the
money right along. Secretary Lyman
Gage, the great defender of honest
money, negotiated this disgraceful
graft. The Todd County Argus and
some of the other brethren speak of
the matter as one newly discovered.
The fact ls that the iniquity was
pointed ont from 1.-The beginning, and
the popular feeling toward the coal
oil monopoly is more responsible for
the tardy action than anything else.

Three text books on economics have
recently been published, the authors
Of which agree on one interesting
thing. Prot. Charles Glide of the
University of Montpelier, France,
Prof. G. W. A. Vedltz of Bates COL
lege, Maine, and Prof. Frank Fetter
of Cornell university are the three
authors, and they all agree on" the
quaint itatve theory Of money and on
the truth of the arguments advanced
by the silver advocates of 1896. The
question Ia not vital just now, but
Prof. Fetter says:
"Though no change seems likely or
possible at the present time. the free
silver advocates have been justified by
events against those gold advocates
who said that the amount of money
has nothing to do with prices. Prices
have gone up as gold has increased.
The free silver advocates have gotten
what they wanted through q change
for which neither party can claim the
credit. Yet the present situation il
unsatisfactory and undeveloped. A
standard better than a single METAL
more stable than single commodity,
is desirable If 1t can be found. The
money question must arise again and
In q new form before many years. The
difficulty has not been finally settled F.;
it is but postponed.

for western point business. By a peou-
liar coincidence the rates are exactlv
the same If freight goes via the
Omaha gateway" or via the St.
Paul "gate way. Billings is 1900
miles from Chicago via the st. Pau
gateway and 1880 miles miles via
the Omaha gateway" If We take
the car to Livingston, Mont, the rate
is $3.50 the hanl being 1907 miles
from St. Paul. The distance from St.
Paul being Q 10 times the distance
from Chicago to st. Paul and the rate
being over 9 times the sChica9o to St
Paul rate. And they tell as rates are
reasonable. To Missoula, Mont, 1885
miles west of st. Paul, the freight on
our car will be $500 from Chicago and
on the stove $11.25. To Spokane.
Wash. 1873 miles from st. Paul, the
Car is $408 because of commodity
rate which happens to fall exactly on
the class rate to that point. If figured
on the special and local back princi
pie. which governs too many inter
point rates, it ia $444.
The car rate to Portland. Ore, and
other coast common points, 2, 49,
miles from Chicago, hauled through
Spokane, is $500, which haul is 54(
miles further than to Spokane where
the special rate is &4O7.

s'REASONABLE' RATES.

For basis of this article, by A. j.
Gustin in the Nebraska Independent,
is taken the freight rate on "a. 600
pound carload of stoves, which takes
the fifth class rate and in some cases
we will name the rate on one stove or
less than carload, which takes third
class rate, which stove We will sup
pose to weigh five hundred pounds.
When we get to st. Paul and Min
neapolis and 20 northwest, the roads
make through rates to points west,
from the st. Paul "gateway'' on a
combination of the through rate to st.
Paul and local rate west, but they use
the class rate and not the special rate.
This is done to favor the "gateway''
point in it's wholesale business at the
expense of the consumer in towns
west. For instance, the car of stoves
takes fifth class rate where specia
rate does not make it lower. The spe-
oial Oh stoves from Chicago to st.
Paul is Is cents per hundred POUNDS,
while the class rate lie 1913 per cent
higher. or 30 cents per hund1ed
pounds. A car of stoves going from
Chicago to Brainerd. Mimi, 1873 miles
northwest of St. Paul, the rate Is the
sum of as. class rate to st. Paul from
Chicago and $43. 30 st. Paul to Brain

that is onto his job can save $12 on
the car by billing to st. Paul and re-
billing to Brainerd on the local rate II
