Ny first article showed conclusively
that the consumption of food by The
Gotten States, when the country was dc
veloped, would amount to:
Bacon, ~ I,7s2, 500 900 equals 5, Co9 900 hogs
Corn, bushels. y, III 80 lals product u03 900 aoS
At present the consumption of food
there amounts to about one fourth THAT
amount. The factors there do not pur-
chase directly from our merchants, and
il they are not attracted by the cheapoess
of cur market, they will not buy from
creases. The number OF merchants or
factors in the Cotton States VIII nat.
uraly increase with the increased pro-
duction of cotton, and just as naturally
increase by the promotion ofc ompeten,
clerks 10 masters in the trade to employ
ers instead of employees. And as certain
rs the number Of these merchants is in
creased, with equal certainty will they
deal with the commission men their for,
mer employers dealt with. Unless they
are attracted by extra inducements, an
other market, as favorably situated com
mercially offers them. To be able to offer
our produce 10 them, on terms fairly re-
numeratlve 10 Us, we will be compelled
TO have direct communication with them.
The stern necessity of sharp competition
with eastern fields VIII compel US to
avoid Kansas City, and so escape the
charges OF her commission men. The
avoidance ofthc toll they levy on our pro-
duce under the guise Of commission,
elevation, storage, insurance, leakage,
inspection, charges, would enable Us to
with the produce of eastern
Kansas and Missouri. Missouri has 10 pay
these charges TO the middlemen of ST.
Louis. We, by having direct traDspor.
tation 10 the Cotton Belt, will only have
10 pay the charges of middlemen to
points We ship TO. In plain words, We
will nav cur proportioa OF the c0mmis-
sion on the gross sum, the cotton plan
lers, factors pay out for the produce they
buy 20 supply the demands Of cotton
Produce shipped through
Kansas City, or 81. Louis, Will have TO
1ay these charges, in addition TO those
assessed before The produce leaves those
points. This s;atment covers the case
Is il stands TO day in Salin county.

The building of railroads has settled
the whole West, has changed it from ;
desoIatc region, q hunting ground FOL
/ ignorant savages, and trading ground
! for equally ignorant, and much NOR,
brutal white men, into the most pro.
, ductive agricultural region in the world
/ Railroads have enabled the men who
now Till the rich soils of Illinois, Wis
conain, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa
Kansas and Nebraska, to settle in the
/ West and raise families. To the railroad
they owe their real estate, their person
al property, and in many cases their
| lives.
With whose money were the o. ,O0O
miles of railroads in the United States
built; From the ciamor OF the oranges,
and their eagerness to control this class
OF property by unwise and unwarrant-
able legislation, one would naturally
suppose that the money OF the farmers
was invested in the construction and
operating OF railroads. This L. a mis-
take. OF the vast sum of IS, &c, 600, COO
these roads cost, the farmers have paid
for stock less than SIS, 000, 600, or about
two per cent of the cost. Still they
think they have the right 10 control
them, enact oppressive laws against
tbcm,t dictate how other peoples prop
perty shall be managed, TO bankrupt the
great interest OF transportation, and IN
effect TO get possession OF IL tor their
own use. The Potter law ef Wisconsin,
pissed by house composed by our far
ming bretheren OF that state, would ru-
in any and all roads in tho country il
applied 10 them.
Ia the region where tho railroad char
gcs tor transportation have been most
holly debated, and in which legislation
and political action have been most bit
ter, where the majority Of the State leg
islaiors were elected on the platform OF
cheap transportation, where L. s Sen
a,ors and Congressman were elected on
similar platforms, in the region con-
posed Of the States north Of The Ohio
River and east OF the Rocky Mountains,
including Colorado. Kansas and Mis-
souri,, there are @, 900 miles ofraiIroads,

capital invested.

nISTRICT EiNpMEErING.

The first attempt ut holding a district
camp meeting in this section Of the coun-
try has been attended with great success.
The meeting was commenc Il in River
side Park, three miles north Of Salina,
last Thursday. The park is largo and
can accommodate many hundred peo-
pie. In it there Is large growth OF
elm and walnut trees and very little un-
derbrush, so that there is fine shade
and sufficient circulation of air The
weather has been magnificent. Farm
crs have come with their families from
The surrounding country. The attcn-
dance OF the town poopio has been quite
large. On Sunday last, there wero at
least t|o thousand people in the grove.
The grove seemed almost filed up with
people and teams. The exercises were
exceedingly interesting and the audicace
took part in them with deep carnestncsS.
On that occasion Sl15.45 were raised, TO
dofray the expenses of fitting up the
camp ground and paying a portion of
the salary of the presiding Elder, Mr..
Lawrence. There have been some very
able sermons delivered at tho grove
especially by Rows. Lockwood, Law
renee and Hill. There have been l.
conversions thus far. The proceedings
throughout were attended with no dis
turbances from outsiders. Upon the
grounds there were ample accommodate
tons in the way OF tents and buildings
for those who took part in the exercises.
Messrs. Moss Bros. guided tho eating
department skilliully, and no one COM
plains on that score. Emphatically the
camp meeting has he,n success, being
tho best and largest grove meeting ever
held in Central or Western Kansas.
There is much encouragement for hold
ing such a meeting next year. Exercises
ut the grove were closed yesterday and
evening meetings wIll DO held at the VI.
f. church, during the balance of the
week. Rev. Mr. Lockwood preached
last evening. This gentleman will also
preach this evening. In this connection
we may say that a camp meeting will be
held upon tho Smoky HILL rivcr-l2

The benefit is mutual, we get a mar
kct in which We can sell our produce
dearly then market of supply, in
which they can buy the prime necessities
Of plantation life cheaply, relatively.
1t is but just that they should help 10
build this road, and the Southrner is
probably ready to do jnsticc. The city
Of Memphis would undoubtedly coop
crate to the extent of her financial abIli-
I ty; but we Of the North must remember
that they have been impoverished by a
long, and to them financially, ruinious
war, in which much of the energy and
business capacity of the Cotton States
was annihilated and that they have
been woefuliy plundcred for over ten
years lby corrupt officials. They arc
not able at present to give proportion

they will give TO the last cent of their
ability.
| hesitate to set forth the value OF
the market, as the primary benefit 10 us
or TO place the primary advantage in the
increased value of our lands. This is
the most visible influence of railroads
in cnriching farmers. The enhancement
of The worth of real estate along the line
OF a newly and honestly built railroad
is marvellous, and will richly repay care
full thought by all thinking farmers.
Mr.. T. Q. Thompson, of Indianapolis,
has published 4 tabulatcd statement
prepared from replies to inquiries ad
dessed by him to officials in nine states
asking the value of lands before and
after the construction and operating Of
roads. Here is the table:

The average increase of $3.50 in
value per acre of the land by the build
ing of these roads, is tho most fitting
answer to the clam0r the oranges have
raised against railroads. Examination
into the history of railroad building in
the United States, Will demonstrate the
great benefit they have conferred onthe
farmers of the country. Before Me
construction Of railroads in the Wdst,
the settlement Of land and Its successful
renumerative culture, was locked in, or
more properly barred out, rigidIy BY a
law from which there was neither escape
nor relief This was the cost Of trans
portation in wagons. Here is n tabu.a-

LAW FOE THE MASSES.

The Political, Personal, and Property
Rights of Citizen Of the United States
Hoo to exercise and holc to preserUe them;
By TeophIuS Parsons, III. ID.
Jones Brother & Co., 81 Louis, n0.
1t is with much pleasure that we greet
the appearance of this long. expected
work from the gifted pen OF our greatest
legal commentator. When we reflect
how essential to tho welfare and pror-
perity of every citizen is an intelligent
understanding, both Of the principles
which underlie our government and the
laws which affect all our social and BUSH
ness relations, wo at once feel the ncceS-
sity of some method by which this
knowledge, can be placed within the
reach and comprehension of all. For
this purpose was "RiGnTS OF CITIZEN"
written, and no one who will examine
its contents can fail TO be convinced that
the author has fully attained his object.
Prominent among the Distinguishing
features of the work, are the articles
upon the constitution Of the United
States, and each of the several states,
the Legislative and executive branches
of our Government, the right Of Citizen
ship and Suffrage, the writ of Habeas
Corpus, Personal Security, &c, &c, and
a vast fund of Information OF the high
est value concerning business transac-
tons Of every possible nature.
The author has avoided the use, as
far as possible, of the dry phrascology
of the law, which tends but to pcrplex
and cmbarrass the ordinary reader, but
while rejecting the dry huSll he presents
the rich kernel of profound legal lore.
We regard the appearance of tho work
as most timely, inaSmach IS it will ill
4 niche long vacant in our literature.
Our readers cannot do better than TO
obtain copy and profit By its contents.

ment. He says that in lS6S the Secre-

the votes for members of the Legislature

tor, counted out several candidates who
were actually elected, thus securing a
majority for Seburz and that Sehurz

THE TOLEDO BLADE ayD WILLIAM ALLEN.

The Toledo Btade has private intorma-
ton that the withdrawal Of William Al
len from the gubcrnatorial contest is
quite probable. Various are the reasons
given for this action. His personal
friends desire HIM TO withdraw for the
protection of his health and the prolon-
CATION Of his life, while his political
friends regard his defeat for governor as
certain, which result woald shatter his
chances for the presidential nomination.
Should Allen be withdrawn, and another
man be pat on the ticket, the latter
would be defeated and then Aliens
friends could 60 to the presidential nom
mating convention, telling the same old,
old story, that Allen is the only Demo
crat who can carry Ohio. Thurman OPP
poses the withdrawal bitterly, as he
wants his Uncle William totally wiped
out tina, he (Allen G. may BIO the prcsi-
Dental candidate. The above lnforma-
ton is CLEANED from the Toledo Blade.
Whether Allen is to really step down
and out rs far as the gubernatorial race
is concerned Will probably soon be made
public.
