Miss II. BONAR.
Tea cl.er.

Mr.. Edward Atkinson, of Boston,
lately delivered an address before an
institute in that city, which has at
tracted Il great deal of attention. One
point to which attention was called
in the outset WAS the sma!lness of the
amount on which the average of peo-
ple must subsist. ''The measure of
comfort which each man, woman and
child can yet enjoy on the average,
even in this prosperous land. must
probably come within what half /.
dollar will buy ut present prices.
Fifty cents day is the average meas
ure of the subsistence. savings and
taxes Of every person. Two dollars
Il day for each family group of tw"
adults and two children is the limit,
because there is probably no more to
buy" If some have more. Others
must have less. Another statement
is very forcible and suggestive: "]n
respect to food, the world rs 4 whole
is always within one year Of partial
starvation. If work ceased, the most
prosperous country would be reduced
to general starvation in two, or at
the utmost in three, years" So in
regard to clothing or the materials of
clothing, the world is always within
two or three gears of becoming
naked. There is food foI thought in
these facts, rs facts they are, that
can be readily demonstrated.

Wheat.

The grain commissioner Of tho
Northern Pacific Railroad came here
Saturday to investigate the matter Of
wheat grades, prices. etc. While
here he called on many of orr busi-
ness men and conversed with them.
endeavoring to gain all the informal
ton posi- Bile in regard to the wheat
business here. He also spent part Of
two days at the elevators here. exam
lining the wheat as it came in and
testing the same in every way known
to the trade, and he went away, we
believe, more than satisfied that the
farmers are being swindled by the
elevator companies. 1t has been
Hterated and reiterated by men in the
employ Of the elevator companies
that we do not raise No. l hard, and
! also THAT we do not raise any hard
wheat of any grade. Now it was
proved by the investigation Of the
committee appointed by the business
men. that of the first 35 cars shipped
from here Of this years crop: ii Of
them graded hard at Duluth. and we
desire to say in as distinct termes as
the English language will admit Of.
that lie who says wedo not raise hard
wheat here is q liar, and his cheek
would make a more lofty monument
than the one now being erected at
Washington.
The railroad company has hereto
fore been very careful in looking after
the wheat business at competing
points on account of it's loss in freight
if it was carried to market by another
corporation,and yet us compared with
other classes of freight, the freight
on wheat is merely nominal, and the
amount Of first-class freight carried
by the railroad would be greatly ell
hanced by the people receiving the
difference between what the elevators
are paying and what the wheat is
really worth.
There is still another reason why
the railroad company should compel
The elevators to deal justly, and that
is the effect this wrong will have
upon immigration. It is we'll enough
toadvertise the excellence of our :oil
and climatc--which is all that is rcr-
resentcd-.-Dut it is also necessary that
the cult vator of the soil should re-
ceive the just reward of his labor:,
and not be placed III the hands of a
grasping monopoly, as they now ale
here. We would advise the people to
hold meetings, and pass resolutions
concerning their grievances, and to
also prepare and circulate petitions
setting forth the wrong done them:
and presenting them to the legisla-
ture, ask an investigation of the whole
matter, and then to ask the passage
of such laws in the premises as will
compel the giving to every citizen
equal facilities by common carriers
and warehousemen for the marketing
of their products.
