Roland Hill was travelling in England,
arrived at tho door Of an inn just as the
postman did. who had called to deliver
to II young girl letter. The girl took the
letter. turned ii over In her hands, and.
~ the postage was mor than she could
pay. she feignsd great distress as she
returned the letter. Mr.. Hill was
touched 10y her distress. and paid the
postage. Hardly had the postman left
than the girl confessed a trick. Some
signs were psnted out on the outside Of
tho letter which gave all the informa-
ton designed by the letter, which con-
tanned no writing upon the In
inside. In this way a correspondence
was carried ON without payment Of post.

PROOF POsiTlVE.s

We desire to call public attention
to the following articles from the
Fergus Falls Advocate, which was
printed in that paper and copied by
the Globe previous to Mr.. Hodges
movement in the chamber Of COM
merce:
We are daily hearing complaints of
the unfair way in which the wheat
which is taken to the st. Paul & Pa
cific railroad is being graded. Wheat
that without question is taken for
No. at Perham and other points on
the northern Pacific is graded No. 2
at Campbell and the other stations on
the st. Paul and Pacific. Then again,
Is cents more are paid per bushel on
the Northern Pacific than on the
main line, which would seem to be
too great difference, Now the rea-
son for this is-frst, the wheat mark
ct on the St. Paul & Pacific is under
the control of the Minneapolis mill
ring. They have the only buyers at
the stations on the upper end of the
road. They fix the price and the
| grade. and having no competition
they fix both the price and the grade
20 their own advantage. On the
northern Pacific the position is re.
versed. There, there is no competi.
ton, and if the mill ring wonts wheat
they have to give as much as as it is
worth according to tho Duluth, Mil.
waukee; Or New York markets. I'm.
der these circumstances we should
advise those Of our farmers who can
do so, to take their wheat to the
Northern Pacific, and we shall keel
our readers post ed on the changes
that may take place in prices, etc.
The building of the Minnesota north.
ern will stop this extortion in two
ways: it will make competition, and
will cause mills to be built at Fergus
which will also add to the compete
ton for wheat. But. unfortunately
the Minnesota Northern is not built
this year, and we have to dance to
the tune that the Minneapolis mill
ring plays for us with Bill Washburl
turning the crank with his 4O-ruu
mill. Moral: Don't vote for Wash
burn for congress.
Here is a plain statement of facts
which have played no part in the con.
troversy thus far, but which prove
concluslvely the robbery charged up.
on the Washburn wheat ring. 1t an.
swers at once the arguments of the
ring that they take no advantage of
the farmer. and pay the value of
wheat for shipment. All of the in
vestigation which can be made, all
the arguments and sophistry Of the
ring and their defenders cannot salts.
factorily show why the grade of wheat
should so widely differ between sta
tions on the Northern Pacific and on
the st. Paul & Pacific. The differ.
ence in price between the same goods
at the points named, is another con.
elusive point. 1t demonstrates the
importance of the agitation now in
progress, and fixes the responsibility
where it belong5-upon the Wash.
burn wheat ring.
