We are informed that one of tn
causes of the decline of wheat here
that the railroad has increased tn
freight rate six cents per hundred o
wheat. When we consider the enol
nous crop to be shipped from thi
county, this increase will amount t
a sum appalling in its magnitude
For every thousand bushels of whea
the loss to the poor farmer by thi
burdensomc incsease is $36, or nearl
four cents per bushel. There are
number of farmers in the count
who raise 10000 bushels of whei
7 every year, and this increase WI
cost each of them $3.50 on his Gro
this year. e If the farmers will figul
from these data they can plainly d,
duce the fact that they will pay oil
of their wheat crop every year th'
this rate is charged enough money I
build competing railroad in one d
rection ifnot in two. This inereas
TO say nothing of the previous c!
orbitant freight rate-amounts
about six per cent Of the entil
amount realized from the whe'
: crop, when we consider that the be
y grades are only bringing 20 cents.
