NEVADA RATES AND TERMINALS
Says Boycott California Mer-
chants for Forcing Discrim-
ination Against State.

In a recent Communication to the
Carson Appeal. Attorney Alfred Chartz
of Carson City pertinently tells the
people of Nevada how this State can
secure railroad terminals and reason
able freight rates from the East. He
says: l was pleased with your repro

peal of yesterday, bewailing the fact
that the East was getting the lions
share of the trade from the newly dis
covered mines in Nevada. lam pleased
because it calls attention to the fact
that a business condition exists. which
is worth looking after by San Francisco
merchants. If it is worth looking after
by San Francisco merchants, it is
worth looking after by ourselves.
Frisco Has Made Rates for Nevada.
The reason why Nevada merchants
have to pay more for freight from the
East than San Francisco merchants
have to pay is because we have no ter
minal points and the transcontinental
ailroads have no opposition. We pay
at least four times mora for freight
from the East than San Francisco mer-
chants pay. The Southern Pacific
R tilroad is not entirely to blame for
this outrageous discrimination. San
Francisco merchants say to the South
ern Pacific Company: "If you give
Nevada better rates, we will ship over
the Isthmus, or over the Northern or
Canadian Pacific" In order to retain
the San Francisco trade the Southern
Pacific is forced to discriminate agains st
Nevada, and it might be against its
own inclination.
Every Neuadon Should Kick.
So. if the foregoing facts are correctly
stated, what is our duty? Plainly, we
should boycott San Francisco. How
can we better our condition? Trade
just as little with California as possible.
Next, enlist the Board of Trade of St.
Louis and Chicago to call the attention

against Nevada, aud against their

Time to Change the Whip Hand.
The San Francisco Call has called
upon the merchants of San Francisco to
wake up. Every paper in Nevada
should call upon the merchants of Ne
vada to wake up and call general con-
vention of merchants and business men,

vertise the fact that we have bigger

sphere of influence" just like dog
