bushel Of wheat, for transpo tion, makes
the cost Of -four 50 much higher 10 Eastern
consumers. IN this, then, let the people of
the West and the East strike hands, and,
in their united strength throw of the des.
potism Of monopolies and railroad kings.
This is not to- be done by rage or rant.
Rashness and bitterness accomplish but
little good in this world, Steady purposes,
with united and decided action, will move
the world. Venal politicians love money,
but they fear a united and awakened peo-.
ple-they dread the power behind the
throne. Then let the blows fall, but let
them be we'll directed and let nothing be:
lost by idle clamor. Let the West and the;
East unite in the demand for cheaper
routes Of transportation, and the enforce
ment of just laws regulating ffeights on
routes already existing, and then stand
firmly by the demands. sf.ss s.gs{t,f7 F-sy.

to learn and Minnesots farmers might study
a little in the same direction to advantage.
France is trying to settle whether to be
a republic or q monarchy. The question
seems to be little mixed, with the proba-
bilities on the side of monarchy. Over
there it is theadivine, vested, hereditary
right Of the king against the people; over
here, it is the vested, granted; chartered
rights Of monopolies. One stands exactly
on the same principle as the other. !. a,s:r. =,
