Tho New York Times is troubled lest tho
farmorB do thomsolves great practical injury by
carrying tho war against monopoly too far. It
insists that the Aoo difficulty in tho Woat arfsoa
from q surplus Of agricultural products, which
cannot DO got to market 10 that 1t Gun bo sold at
q fairly remunerativo price to tho producer" "
This slight trouble, It argues, can DO sntisfaotor1
| ly arranged, and the farmers muHt hayo confl-
denco In Oongrosa and tho Govornmont to bring
about remedy for this grievance. 4 Congress
that voted ttaolf s2,0oo,0o0 extra baok-pay, and
/ as much moro extra forward-pay, ought to in
spire tho farmers with confidence that thcir
grievance will receive proper remedy whom Con-
greHs has time to attond to 1t. But tho fact is,
tho grievance mentioned by tho New York Tin1es
is not the only ono which ailliots the people Of
tho West and Of all paris Of tho country. The
mnn who PRODUCES corn must sell TINT portion
which is In ezooss Of what he needs for his own
consumption. For all things noedod by him
for hfs family and for lis farm not produced By
himHolf, lc must depend on the purchasing valuo
Of hia surplus corn or whoat. II tho prico Of
corn in Chicago DO 80 cents per buaho, and tho
railroad charges him 90 conts per bushol to move
his corn to Chicago whom 10 contB would bo a
fair compensation tho railroad robs him OF pre-
cisoly ono-thrd Of all ho has to aoll, and leaves
him but 10 conts per bushol for his en-
tire crop, which for conyenionce'a sake we
will put down at 1000 bushels. Taking
his 8100. which is all that is loft him aftor rob-
bory No. i, ho proceeds to invest 1t in WOODEN
and cotton cloths for himself aud family. On
theso articles lo finds ho must pay IN average
tar Of 80 Per cent to protect Homo "infants" "
who by law arc secured in profit Of 10 or moro
per cent on thoir business. Ho Ia therefore
compelled to ray ss4 bounty to the cotton md
woolon manufacturers, ind roooivos at last 500
worth Of cotton and WOODEN cloth for tho 1000
hushela Of corn which he had to sell. It nots
him sir and two-thirda cents per buRhol. In
stoad Of receiving 5000 in cloth for hlB corn af
ter paying all reasonable o1pensoB for tranBpor-
tation, he is by tho railroad and the tarin robbed
OF a134, and compelled to take sG6. Tho rail-
road, while 1t oontlscates ono-third Of
his crop unjustly, furnishes him at least
with tho moans Of getting tho rest to market

is the case of overy producer in tho Wost, and
is the case Of every producer In Ill parts Of tho
United States, and when the Now York Times in
Inmates that the farmers may injuro themselves
by demanding tho ropoal Of this tariff monopoly,
1t is rnoroly seeking to direct attention from on
evil which, taking the whole country and all
clnssos, ia more oppressive even than TINT Of tho
railroad monopoly.
