The Remedy.

We clip the following very sensible
remarks from an editorial on competi-
tion, appearing in the Industrial Age of
the 10th inst:
The only possible remedy for the evils we
would correct is an enlig htened and deter
mined popular sentiment, acting through
thorough going legislative and judicial con-
troll Of the peoples highways.
This control can do no good by simply
trying to regulate prices attempts to do
this have always failed, and always must
fail; but by summarily correcting fraudu-
lent stock, Ubiquitous contracts, embezzle-
ments, fraudulent accounts, and other
wrongs, and reducing our transportation
lines to one regular system, thoroughly
under the control Of transportation boards
Immediately responsible to the people.

-" ONE THING THE GRANaERs HAVE
DoNE:-They have broken the power and
combinations Of the pork packers. They
started out the past fall as they did the fall
before, to buy pork at about three dollars
-expecting again to get double the price
when they sold as they did last year. But
the Changers were too sharp for them this
time. They said rather than sell at these
low figures we will pack our own pork. So
all over the West the Changers combined,
determined to pack unless they could get
what their pork was honestly worth. Pork
came in slow, not fast enough to meet the
demands of the packers. The Granrers
went to putting up their own pork. The
packers became alarmed and thought thew
had better make smaller profits, and 80 |
commenced offering higher prices. The
Changers were firm, resolute, and insisted
on fair prices, and the packers were com
PEELED to pay them. The result is, pork to- |
day is worth from $4 rs to $5.75 per hun
dred, instead of three dollars.
The farmers have triumphed over the |
combinations to wrong them. Millions |
more Of dollars have been saved to them /
than otherwise would have been. They
