kato they were not getting the value of their
wheat The farmers OF Blue Earth had lost
the entire amount of their county tax be-
cause of the lack of free competition in
wheat buying.
UNCLE SAM THE MAN.
Mr.. Cheney, of Swift, thought this was
like a Methodist revival, but harder to get a
change to talk than in Methodist revival.
He sold his first wheat crop in 1868, at Ben
son for so cents bushel. Next year they
took out four pounds bushel for cookie. In
1870 blizzard delayed his threshing
till next spring. The elevator proprietor
condemned his wheat and the railroad
wouldn't let him have car to ship it else
where. In 'S2 he learned the two elevators
had formed ombination, not to bid against
each other and signalled by raising fingers to
tell each other how they had graded a load of
wheat with which a farmer was going from
one elevator to the other. In conclusion of
description of his experiences, he said: This
is the way certain combinations OF
men are depressing producers from Maine
to California. What are we going to do
about it? 1t is said we must break upthese
combinations, but how! We cannot run
these railroads unless we own them, and we
cannot buy them. His programme was and
he believed it was coming to pass, to put all
these monopolies into one grand one, owned
and controlled by Uncle Sam. Then we
could all help manage them and obtain equal
rates and honest grades. That was the only
way, he thought, the combinations against
the people could be put down.
Mr.. McErven, of Big Stone repeated that
we must have these corporations but also
redress of our grievances. The farmers OF
the western part of the state were ready for
action. They looked for redress through the
ballot box; and they wanted organization.
Mr.. stordock, of Wilbur, moved that the
chair appoint committee of five to nomin-
ate state central committee of fifteen, two
from each congressional district and five at
large.

Mr.. Palmer also told of an English colony
lately arrived in this county whose first
freight bill showed charge from st. Paul to
Warren one-quarter more than the railway
charge on the same goods from New York to
st. Paul. These colonists are eudeavoring
to obtain an assurance from the railway
managers that the injustice will not be con-
tinued, and if they cannot obtain that as
surance they will abandon the lands they
have contracted for and settle elsewhere.
Mr.. Diamond said southern Minnesota
farmers had learned they could not depend
on wheat. They had hogs and COWS, and
were starting in on dairy products. At Man

A Snake Story.

Judge NJ says that many years ago
when starting out to seek fortune for
himself, he went to the southwestern
par, of Texas. Riding one hot August
afternoon along cart road cut for
many miles through the chaparral, his
horse stopped with such suddeness that
he was nearly thrown forward over
the animals head. Said he in further
description: IL got off and looked to
see what the trouble was, and soon
found about a rod ahead u huge rattle

head down the slope on one side, and
