The London Grocers' Journal says:
There is very common idea that the
Americans inundate US with their grain. |
1t is not so. Mr.. Mongredien, in his
pamphlet on Free Trade and English Z
Commerce (lssov declares that this is q
great mistake, and he even goes 30 far as |
to say that the Americans do not send US
much as one shipload Of grain in the |
course of the whole year. The whole Of
the large importations into the United
Kingdom of American wheat, maize, etc.,
are, according to him, the purchases
made in New York and Baltimore by |
English accounts at English risks-paid |
for by the buyer, in fact, before he gets |
possession of the goods.
From Mr.. Jno. NJ. Robinson We learn |
that petitions are being prepared in Hell
ena, to be circulated for signatures ask
ing Congress for relief for those who
have been charged exhoritant prices for
Railroad land by the Northern Pacific |
Also to limit said company to
a certain and reasonable price for said
land. We are informed that copies of
the above petition will reach Bozeman
in a few days and those who take an ln-
terest in the matter will haye an oppor-
tunity to lend their influence to carry out
its objects. We are not aware Of the ef-
feet Of such petitions but if any relief
can be found by the people against the
extortion of any corporation, the CHRoS-
rcLE will always be ready to lend help
ing hand. Nothing can be done unless
an effort is made and now that land
grants have become odious an effort is
being made to restore them to the public
domain. A showing Of their grinding
policy will go great ways towards help
ing such efforts.
