ducuon that, though 10 may seem exaggerative 10
say it, the day il possibly not far distant when,
with the cheapness OF labor in Russia since the
abolition OF serfdom and the loosening OF large
element OF labor which is RENTED TO the pursuit
OF optional employment, Russian wheat and corn
may ne landed cheaper in Boston than it can now
be brought there from our own interior and re-
mote agricultural sections. While IL is true that
the staple Is OF an inferior quality, yet 1t Is
said that the foreign article can be
laid down here some seven or eight cents cheaper
than the present average ruling market price in
Boston. The custom OF handling IL heretofore in
vogue IN Russia Is also 10 be very much cheapened
by the aid 0f'American skill and invention. The
manner In which this has been done has been in
sacks, which have been brought into the places OF
shipping in carts, carried up into the second and
third stories OF houses and again handled in like
manner. Recently arrangements have been en-
tered into In order to introduce the American plan
OF grain elevators now in use in this country.
With their fine rivers and the facilities OF i'm
proved navigation the Russians can ship their
wheat down to the seabOard, where the most i'm
portant item of expense in the way OF transporta-
ton will oe the cost of ocean carrying freight
age. This, as well as other very striking informa-
ton, has been collected by the committee.
There is no doubt, 1t may be said In
conclusion, that the granger influence will
be very well satisfied at the conclusions reached.
The committee have most patiently and earnestly
given their attention to the exhaustion OF the sub
jec but 1t is unquestionably fact that there will
be very strong opposition to the general pro-
gramme to be offered by them. The railroad mo-
nopOlfes will undoubtedly be avcrse to the recon-
mendation Of the committee in favor OF cheap
transportation, upon the basis of what will aid the
agricultural interests.

Permission Granted Congressman to Send
Their Autographs Printed Matter
Through the Mails.
congressman are jubilant over permission given
them by the Postmaster General to place their
autograph signature on printed books, pamphlets,
documents, &C., as in the good old days OF frank
ing, although they will have to pay the postage
printed matter Citizens generally cannot, even
with their initials, on printed matter; but Con-
gressmen and other officials can certify that "th,s
package contains nothing but printed NATTER
and affiX their cherished autographs signatures.
