LOCAL NEWS.
The Maryland Farmers and the
washington Market.

Editor SGr:-I notice an editorial In your
issue of the 9th inst, calling attention TO the
action Of the Farmers Association at Sandy
Spring and was pleased to see the fair and
reasonable manner in which you stated the mat
ter at issue with the Washington market COM
pany. In the same spirit OF fairness l desire, as
clerk OF the market company, to make answer
through your columns to the complaints OF the
Maryland farmers. Ist The market company
makes no charge to farmers except where use
is made OF the sidewalk next the market build
ings, which are kept clean at the company'S
expense and under the expensive sheds and
awnings erected by the company, solely for the
accommodation Of farmers and producers mar
keting their own products. ID The market
company pays au officer whose especial duty it
is to protect actual producers in the rights eX-
tended to them by the market company. And
the amount received by the company for all
the facilities and privileges extended to the far
merS is very little more than enough to repay
the outlay ON their account Sd The market
company has entered into no combination with
inside dealers to embarraSS actual producers,
but on the contrary the company has sought
to protect this class, and will gladly meet any
committee of the Farmers Association referred
to- and CO.. operate with them in securing abso-
lutte justice without recourse to lawyers or the
courts. In a word, the washington market
company earnestly desire a full and free con-
ference with all complainantS, to the end that
litigation may cease, and that united and har-
monious action may be had between the COM
pany and the dealers, and thus increase the pros
perity OF the largest and best market in the
country. PRESTON S. SMITH.

A Bill to EquaIize Bountics.

ROUGH ESTIMATE OF HUNDRED MILLION DOL
LARS REQUIRED.
Speaker Randall has consented to recognize
Congressman Finley, of Ohio, on Monday next
to move a suspension OF the rules for consider
alton Of bill to equalize the bounties of soldiers
who served in the late war. The bill provides a
bounty Of eight and one-third dollars per month
for the service of each soldier who enlisted be-
tween the 1st Of April, 1861, and before the 18th
of July, 1865, all previous bounties reserved to
be deducted, including bountieS paid by state
and counties. With view to get an approx
nation OF how much money would be required
to meet such claims, Mr.. Finley addressed a
letter to Secretary Sherman asking how TO make
an estimate. The Secretary replied as follows:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Feb. 9th, 1880.
Hon. E. b. Finley, House Of REPRESENTATIVES:
SIR:-Referring to your letter Of the sd inst
to the I'd Auditor of the Treasury, in which you
that the government will be required to pay
under the provisions OF a bill to provide for the
payment OF additional bounty III. R. POST 10th
Congress- 1st session., in the event Of its be-
coming a law, have the honor to state that 1t
is impracticable to determine how many per-
sons would become entitled TO additional
law, or to form an approximate estimate as to
how many Of those entitled to it would
prefer their claims; hence any estimate
tie better Sfels tRan hypohetica eS uea careful f. ex
animation. however, of the whole question Of
equalization OF bount1eS was made in 1914 by
the second audlt0r ana second comptroller, the
result OF which was embodied in report to the
Secretary OF the Treasury of which copy Is en-
closed. 1t will be seen that the comptroller
was of opinion that to satisfy claims arising
under the provision of a bill introduced at that
time (Il. r. 1910 41st Congress, 2nd seSs,) would
require an expenditure OF overa hundred million
dollars, and would necessitate the investigation
and settlement OF about 500, 600 claims requir-
ing the labor of $50 additional clerks in the
office of the second auditor, and correspond
ing increase in his Office for period of four
years to prepare for adjudication and payment
the cases arising under that law
Very respectfully,
{Signed,) i0HN SHERMAN, secretary.
