paid toll and freight
Mr. GEDDEs-We who have pork to sell, wish

Mr. NIELE would not permit the farmers OF the
West 10 reach Eastern market without sustaining by
tolls the great Canal built and not yet paid Tor. When
the Canal debt tor which the state Is Answersble, IA
paid he would be willing that freight should pass with
out toll charges The Canal Indebtedness hss been main
