EQUITY AND THE R A1LRO A
It haa como to us that Blair o

of the Iowa pool , because they nro i

this riqht by any principle of comm
comity and equity ? Republican.
When commercial comity and equ
are ruling principles in railroad mi
ngomcnt the monopolies will have
further use for subsidized notrapap
of the Republican stamp. The d
crimination which the organ of t
Union Pacific charges has been pr
ticcd by the Iowa part against Omn
is n feature of the policy
the Union Pacific itself throug
out its entire system. And t
editorial pages of The Republic
have time and again been pressed hi
the service to defend and ozcuso tl :
policy when the producers of ft
braska have protested against :
disastrous operation. The combir
tion of the two Croat railroad corpoi
tions of thin state to pool cumin
and maintain rates at all cnmpetiti
points has found no opponent in Tl
Republican which has suddenly di
covered that the same policy whi
practised by the Iowa lines ia contra :
to every principle of "commorci
comity and equity. "
No candid person who has studii
the history of railroading in tl
United States believes that railroai
are governed by legitimate buainc
principles. The greatest stimulus
mercantile business is compotitioi
It is at the Bamo time the chief pr
tcction to the people who deal wil
our merchants. Competition itsel
in every day commercial transaction
is regulated by tho'law of supply ar
demand. But the monopolies plai
themselves above all laws. The
strangle competition by consolidate
of competing lines , or combinatioi
of opposing interests , and enter inl
agreement to maintain rates in ord <
to aecuro by a division' of their plut
dor a larger share of the spoil * wluc
they extort from thp'p'ublic. Tfioi
is no ouch thing as "commercial con
ity" between the railroads and tl
people. The relation has been that i
the robber towards his victim , <
organized brigands to helpless con
munitica. And the only "comity
rccoganizcd by the monopoly manage
has boon that "comity" which hi
yielded to the demands of other co
poratioua in parcelling out territory i
which they might ply unmolested I
competition their outrageous .systoi
of legalized extortion. ,
The railroad empire in this counti
haa been built up and comontcd by a
entire disregard of the1 principle
which operate and maintain in con
tnorcial 'transactions. No morchati
who would aoll continually at a lowc
rate to ono customer than to nnotlu
could long continun in buainens afti
the practice was discovered. H

hort , they have decided that the rail

losuo to crush out of existence th
; reat system of railways which form

ry. They do not envy any accumu
itiou of wealth which results from ai
lonoat npd impartial railway manage

ho reign of robbery an-1 plunder
rhich has disgraced the operation o
orporate monopolies in this country
sh'nil cease , and that "corporatloi
the creation of the state shall bo cc

their unbridled powers to plunder
their own will and pleasure by exh

are resolved that principles of "co

monopolies if they refuse to take t
wholesome dose in any other way.

THERE ia a general imprcssio
