ell.
We find on Ii oking at the market re-
ports, that wheat was worth from twenty
five to forty cents less at McGregor and
other towns on the Mississippi than it was
in Milwaukee and Chicago on Nov. 1lth.
This difference, We take it, represents the
cost of transportation. Putting the sur
plus crop of wheat in Iowa at 20,O00,OO0
bushels, and ten cents as the highest figure
for river and canal transportation, it seems
fair to say that there would be saving of
fifteen cents per bushel in the transporta
ton Of Iowa wheat to the lake if we had a
canal. 1t would be 100000 on this
crop, and enough on return freight to actu-
ally save in one year the entire sum neces.
sary to make the improvement.

TaE PEOPLE vs.. RAlLRoADs.-The Fort
Dodge North. Vest makes use of the follow
ing timely and emphatic language in CON-
menting upon the violations Of law and
pledges by the Des Moinss Valley Railroad,
in refusing to make Fort Dodge point in
their line. The language is significant as
coming from paper which last year siren
uously advocated the repeal of the "Doud
Amendment" which amendment is but an
assertion Of the right of the State, through
the legislature, to protect the people against
the wrongs aud expressions complained Of:
The officers of this company relying upon
their former success in bending legislation
to suit their interests, will find that the
towns and people Of Iowa have learned that
they must make common cause against
these powerful corporations.
There is q storm gathering in our State
among the people who have been wronged
and outraged by these INSCRIPTIONS capt.
talsts, that will teach them the lesson that
good faith, law and justice, cannot be igno-
red with safety, even by "home compa-
ny"
The river towns have large score Of
wrongs and expressions counted up for fu-
ture settlement, and the inland towns are
going before the legislature to join hands
with them this winter, 10 determine whether
our State is to be ruled by railroad compa.
MES, or by the people. Judging from all
indications, the coming session Of the legis
lature will settle this question.
