HOW THEY CHEAT THE FARMERS.

burns speeches. claim that they pay
for wheat almost rs much as is paid
In Milwaukee and Chicago for the
same grades. This claim is absurd
upon its face, although the figures
given apparently warrant their pre-
tense. For instance, the prices of
wheat on Wednesday were: In Mil.
waukee-No 2. 7Scents; No. 3. 81 10
cents; No. 4, Sc IL cents. In Min.
neapolis-No. 2, 70 cents; No. 3, GO
cents; No. 4, 48 cents. The difference
between the two markets shown by
these figures is not very great, and on
their face the figures sustain the
claim of the Washburnians that a
fair price is paid for wheat. But the
colored gentleman in the fence comes
in just here: When farmer offers a
load of No. 2 wheat it is graded by
the Minneapolis ring as No. 3, and
instead of getting IS cents, the market
price of No. 2 wheat. he receives but
% cents, the price of No. 3. The same
wheat, if taken to Milwaukee, will
grade No. 2 and bring Is cents a
buShel. 1t will be seen that the
Minneapolis purchaser has a clean
margin of fifteen cents bushel above
the Milwaukee market. Not infre.
quent. however, No. 2 wheat is still
further reduced in grade by the wheat
Shylocks, and difference of thirty.
eight cents bushel ere tied. The
proofs of such reductions in grade are
overwhelming, and convict the
Washburn tribe of wheat sharks Of
the most barefaced swindling of the
fIrmers.
Here is another case that smells
strongly of robbery. At Melrose. in
Siearns county. abont eighty miles
fro Minneapolis, No. 4 wheat brings
but Is cents a bnshel. This is twenty
cents below the market qnOtation at
the latter place. The cost of trans
portation surel. does not amount to
twenty cents bushel, or sixty dollars
a car. Then, all the No. 4 wheat
purchased at Melr0se is pronounced
by good judges to be fair quality Of
No. 3 wheat. and if properly graded
would sell, at Minneapolis prices, for
63 cents bushel. This gives the
purchasers thirty five cents a bnshel,
out of which they will have to pay
perhaps five cents for transportation
and handling. This is a pretty round
profit. it must be confessed, for these
honorable millers to pocket!
It is not the market prices of this.

fore our state election we counted IS
Greenbackers. We afterwards raised
the number to IS. When the votes
were counted I was surprised to find
there were only 40 hard money votes,
paupers and all. say paupers, be-
cause one was led up to the polls. and
threw a straight hard-money
vote. Such votes make paupers, for
hard money and hard times always
go together, and hard times are
always characterized with suffering
and poverty. AL manner of dishon.
orable means were resorted to steal
our votes. A Greenbacker when
going to the polls was handed a vote
by the postmaster. Upon discovering
that it was for hard money. he told
the postmaster he did not propose to
vote that way. Upon which the
postmaster told him if he did not he
would not pay him what he owed
him.

Mr.. Hale said he had no doubt about

his majority would be large OF small.
Finally Mr.. Hale asked the gentleman
from Liberty what his views were.
He replied that he was Greenbacker,
doubled and twisted and dyed in the

place he might hear him give five
