Privileges and discriminations seem to lurk in every political and economic corner.

The "people" are appealing to the state to protect them against the usurpations of the corporations and the Bosses.

The government is appealing to the courts to protect the shippers against the railroads.
The corporations are appealing to the Federal courts to protect them from the unfair treatment of state legislatures.

Employers are fighting trades-unionism, because it denies equal rights to their employers.

The unionists are entreating public opinion to protect them against the unfairness of "government by injunction." To the free trader the whole protectionist system seems a flagrant discrimination on behalf of a certain portion of the community.
