in manner calculated to drive
trade away from the city, and if any
Sc: Of our business men combine to-
gether; to keep down the price Of
wheat, or any other kind of country
produce, below proper standard,
they deserve the severest censurc.
AS for discouraging enterprises
elsewhere in the country, it is Ger
tainly wrong; but in the case refer
red to, 50 far from discouraging en-
terprises in the southern towns, we
only advised them 20 build their
road to this point, instead OF pay
ing nonresident company to build
a road through their section to car
ry their trade away from US and to
what we believed, for good reason,
would always be an inferior market.
If any one will refer to our files they
will find that we have not sought to
prevent the extension Of railroad
facilities to the southern towns Of
the county. On the contrary, we
have labored to bring about that
condition of affairs as speedily as
possible. The only difference be-
tween our position and that of the
advocates Of the Midland road, in
the southern towns of this county,
being as to the choice between a
| road to Wabasha, built with money
donated by the citizens of those
towns, but to be owned and man.
aged in the interest of a non-resi-
dent company, and one to Red
Wing to be owned by and managed
| for the promotion of the welfare of
the people of this county, who fur
nish the money to build it. We ad-
vocated the latter as best for them,
and we have not changed our opin-
ion. But if the capitalists of Red
Wing do not take hold of this mat
ter at once and procure the road
built, the necessities of the people
in the southern part Of the county
will compel to look elsewhere for
aid, and we shall not only not
oppose their doing SO, but shall lend
them all the assistance we can in
the accomplishment of that purpose.
