THE tables professedly quoted in the enclosed
slip my be found on page l OF Of The American
Almanac but are mistakenly or falsely quoted IN
four out of ten Of the prices for iron In the years
lS51 to 1860, in six out of ten OF the prices Tor
corn and in seven out Of ten of the prices Tor
wheat for the same years; also in four ont OF ten
of the prices for iron in the years 1s7l-'so, IN
four out of ten Of the prices Of wheat and IN nine
out OF ten Of the prices for corn Tor the same
years. The CORE spcndent, by addressing the
Librarian of Congress. Mr. A. i. SpoGord, and en-
closing thirty-fve cents, can obtain copy oil the
almanac and verify the above statement as 10
errors in the table enclosed. Some OF the errors
are small others are large.
But far more important fact is that the quota
tions given are those in the New-lork market,
where grain from Kansas. having borne over
900 miles ira ,sportation, is higher than IN any
interior markets, while iron Is here as low as IN
any market in the country, when foreign compe-
tition has any effect upon prices. The Transport
tati0n charges on wheat from Kansas to newborn
were in | SEQ more than 60 cents per busheI anu
are now less than 40 cents. Then wheat, III
worth 81 60 here. would have been worth less
than 81 on the Kansas farms; now wheat, when
worth 81 40 here, is worth over 81 ON Kansas
farms The same principle applies the other way
to manufactured iron and its products, which are
now supplied TO Western farmers by hundreds OF
Western mills at small cost for Transportation
but which under free trade were transported al
high cost from the principal importing markets
here where the prices We're taken.
Finally, the years selected for comparison are
not fair: 1853 to s57 inclusive were years OF
great imitation Of prices resulting from gold dis-
coveries and famines abroad. which eliminated III
the panic of 1851 The years 157l-''3 were
of similar character bat the imitation Of prices
was much less and terminated in the panic oil
1873, leaving seven years Of lower prices III the

of tho tariff should be Corrected, and also for
accepting the new doctrine which means
continuance Of the existing war taxation.
Fourth-The doctrine originally cnunci-
ated, and always adhered to by the demo-
cratic party that corporations created by
state authorities are subject to state con-
troll, has stood tho test of many legal con
tests and has been uniformally sustained by
the courts. 1t Is here re-ailrmed as a cardi-
nal principle of party faith. This control
should be exercised intclllgently, and firmly,
not for tho purpose of dcprlying capital OF
Its Just and legitimate earnings, but that tho
public In Its dealings with the corporations
may be protected from unjust discrlmina-
tons and unreasonable eNactions. Railroads,
like individuals, should DO held strictly
amenable 10 the law.
Fifth-Tho democratic party, now as hore-
tofore, declare itself opposed to prohibition
and strongly condemns the same as injur-
ious alike TO our business interests and tho
