tltion is tolerated, and where such liberation
! puts buyers in the market who know enough
alb, ut wheat to buy on their own Judgment.
The st. Paul u Pacific railroad company will
furnish you cars.
The st. Paul elevator will receive and store
your wheat. If it is foul they will make it
clean and will generally raise it a grade They
can clean it from all foul stuff for about one
cent per bushei. 1t is then in competitive
market and is sure to sell for all it is worth.
Cooperation among yourselves will deliver YOU
from the grasp of the Minneapolis Millers' as
ISOLATION, and leave the company elevators viz
tualiy confscated.
HOW THIS PLAN WORKS.
G. B. Moody, of Kerkhaven, sent sample of
his wheat to ST. Paul. and sold it for seven
cents per bushel net above what the Millers'
association would pay.
Niles Chittenden. of Hancock, shipped the
dirtiest lot of wheat ever received at the ST.
Paul elevator-cleaned at an expense of two
cents per bushel-and sold for aOeents.
Very dirty No. 2 from Donnelly station, too
dirty to go grade, sold for IS cents.
j. = Sntcliff, Hancocs, shipped his crop to
the st. Paul Elevator Co. No. 3 grade and No
3 price was the best the MilIers' association
would do for him. After paying all charges
for transportation. transfer, cleaning, commits
e1ou ctC., IL was sofa IN SG. Hdul Tor l3 cents
more per bushel than No. 3 was selling for at
Hancock.
These witnesses prove what the farmer can
Go for himself. Follow such examples en- masse
and it won take you long to burst the ring and
bring the Minneapolis Millers to Limerick.
1t is well known fact that no wheat can
get into st. Paul from any of the country in
tersected by the Chicago or Milwaukee railroad
| companies except by wagon. confscatory
tariff on wheat prevents. On those customers
a slight exercise of the sovereignty of the peo-
pie over the corporations, as expounded by the
supreme court of the United States would
benefit both country and city about alike.
As it now runs the farmer is compelled to
pay fol- 800 or 400 mile haul to Milwaukee or
Chicago, while a haul of less than one-half
would give him about as good prices in ST..
Paul as he could get in Milwaukee, It would
give immediate relief to the farmer and Iibe-
rate US all from the unnatural thralldom of
Milwaukee and Chicago It would at one
bound establish the commercial supremacy of
st.. Paul beyond all question, and give new
life to every legitimate business.
Unrestrl; ted commercial relations with the
rich and populous counties of Dakota, Good
hue, Olmsted, Fillmore, Dodge, Ri.e, etc., all
laying within easy reach would double the
| business and population of st. Paul before its
citizens could get ready for it. and the develop
ment OF great milling and manufacturing
interest would be the necessary sequence.

your interests, your permanent and substantial
welfare depends on the prosperity Of the farm
