The sooner their editor travels the
sooner he will discover this truth.
We put the cost of the right Of
way in railroad building at S1OO q
mile. That is twice what it has cost
the railroads of Minnesota. He
brings up an instance of a. ssspur
track" from Kasson to Mantorville
~ miles, as costing $2,65O for right
OF way. And this little ''spur" goes
through town property and splendid
1arms-two little cities closing in up
on one another, with terminal at
MantOrville! The editor who would
apply that, lie as it is, to the general
cost OF railroad building, is a scurvv
knave. $lOO mile for right of way
is $S an acre. OF the 4,S71 miles q
railroad in this state 2,4sO were built
through trackless regions where even
fences were scarce. Along the tracks
OF one thousand miles to-day farm
fences are a minus quantity. It ia
easy to estimate the value of land
along the right OF way. The entire
mileage OF the state to-day will not
average over $S an acre-and hum
dreds of miles have been given freelv
especially by the government and
state. $50 a mile for the right of way
for railways is an abundant es-
innate.
On the WinOna & st. Peter the
bonuses fully paid the right of way

The statement that we try to stir
up discomfort among the farmers is
the only truth in the above childish
comment.

,Gen'I. Baker in the Arena.

SCu !. OdNCI III ftJCIId.
The Gen1 is getting aroused-and
when the orator gets the blaze of
enthusiasm fairly lighted no ordin-
ary blast will extinguish it. The
State Dairy convention has been held
of late at Mankato. President Bush
nell, President OF the State Fair AS
sociation, sent paper to be read at
the convention. Gen'l Baker read
the paper sitting in a chair. His in
jured limb would not permit him to
stand. We quote from a Minneapo-
lis daily:
After speaking OF the states agri-
cultural development, the paper went
on at considerable length with such
evident enthusiasm over the magnifi-
cent growth of st. Paul and of the
many advantages that city possess
ed for commerce, etc. Little or
nothing was said of the dairying in
terests, and the general tenor of the
peech struck the convention as an
attempt to glorify St. Paul. The
speech was not will received on this
account. AS soon as he had finished
reading the manuscript, Gen. Baker
sprung to his feet (his recent injuries
forced him to remain seated while
reading) and made a telling speech
with all the fire OF youth, repudiating
the sentiments which he had Just read
and declared that the splendid edifices
in the Twin Cities had been erected
by the sweat wrung from hundred
thousand farmers who had made it
possible for the cities to be what
they are. What are the cities doing in
return? he asked. Nothing and the
great dailies are doing nothing
their columns are instead filled with
base ball and corridor swash.
"We have left the country and agri-
cultural paper, however, which are
fighting our battles nobly." CA
voice shouted "some of them.") He
stated that farmers, of all classes, are
not prospering. The English capital
lists were buying up our breweries,
our mills, etc., but not one dollar
goes into farms. l say nothing
about the railroads in search for the
cause of this. We farmers must band
together and sweep down monopolies
and trusts and cause the politician
to bow to our wishes. We must
stand for our own interests, for no
one else will help us-the cities and
the dailies won't. There must be
something the matter when a man
offers me but a cent pound for my
beef Great God! 1 would draw a
shotgun on him were it not for the
law. We farmers must do something
to keep from reaching the lowlevel OF
European peasants.
This speech was frequently inter
rupted by applause.
Others followed Gen'l Baker in the
same torrid latitude of thought.
Finally Jared Benson, who is old
enough to know better, arose and
set things back a mile or two.
His speech came as the phantom of a
year ago. 1t affected no one. The
truth of what Genl Baker and others
had said was not only apparent to
the audience, but to every farmer in
the state.

The Awful Carnage.
1000 KILLED AND 10000 INJURED IN
ONE YEAR!

2,OOO KILLED AND 2O,OOO INJURED IN
ONE YEAR!
Many people will read the following
extract from the Presidents message
with great surprise. The figures
startled us, though familiar with the
agitation which has brought forth
the facts. During the past year, June
soto June 80, two thousand railway
employees were kiHed-and 10000 in
jured.
The President says:
The attention of the Interstate
Commerce commission has been
called to the urgent need OF con-
gressional legislation for the better
protection of the lives and limbs of
those engaged in operating the great
interstate freight lines of the coun-
try, and especially of the yardmen
and brakemen. A petition signed by
10000 railway brakemen was pre-
sented to the commission, asking
that steps be taken to bring about
the use of automatic brakes and
couplings onfreight cars. At a meet
ing of State Railroad Commissioners
and their accredited representatives,
held at Washington in March last,
upon the invitation of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, a resolution
was unanimously adopted urging
the commission ''to consider what
can be done to prevent the loss OF life
and limb in coupling and uncoupling
freight cars, and in handling the
brakes of such cars" During the
year ending June, 80, 1888, over g.
900 Railroad employees were killed in
the service and more than 10000
injured. 1t is competent, l think, for
congress to require uniformity in the
construction OF cars used in inter-
state commerce, and the use of i'm
proved safety appliances upon such
trains. Time will be needed to make
the needed changes, but an earnest
and intelligent beginning should be
made at once. It is a reproach to
our civilization that any class of
American workmen, in the pursuit of
a necessary and useful vocation, be
subjected to peril to life and limb as
great as that of soldier in time of
war.
Now these facts should have been
known before. But now that they
are known it will cause thrill of
horror over the whole land. How
long has this been going on?. In the
midst of this discovery which makes
JohnstoWp floods recede in the dim
shadows, and yellow fever epidemics
pale their fevered lights-we find the
bondholder's organ staying the pub
lie hand in it's effort to right so griev-
ousa a wrong. In the N. W. Railroader
of Dec. 9Th, referring to this matter,
81. P. Robinson, it says
"Will be taken up by the press and
the politicians all over the country,
who will be less well-considered in
their utterance. The results will be
there can be no question about it
that the railroad companies will
find themselves subjected to such
pressure as cannot be withstood."
"Subjected to such pressure!"-
that they will be compelled to do
their duty-to stay the loss 1000

lives and 10000 limbs or members
annually! And yet safety appliances
have been urged upon the railroads
for fifteen years! OF what kind OF
gristle is this mans heart made of?
Think you the widowed and orphan
ed procession-wives and babes-for
they are young men-will object to
the pressure OF justice?
But still worse and more heartless
she says "such pressure that it can
not be Withsto0d!"
Good God, are corporations, then,
so soulless that they withstand
pressure in order to keep up a
slaughterso extraordinary in extent :?
This, indeed, is a revelation!
Robinson says again:
"The danger, of course, is that the
public will see only one side OF the
case, andnot understanding the diff
culties and dangers which lie in
the path of reform, will force upon
the railroads such hasty action as
will be disastrous to the companies,
their employees and the public alike" )"
And this is a hypocrite who calls
the anti-monopoly agitator "dem-
agogue!" The only "dimculties and
dangers are that the billions of
interest drawing bondage and stock
age would have to use small per-
centage to put on different brakes
and couplings.
FOR FIFTEEN YEARS THIS SLAUGHTER
has been going on, and yet to-day
every shop in the world is turning
out the same old death dealing
freight car! Nor would the railways
change their course until the graves
of their half-paid employees lay side
ways from the Narrows to the Golden
Gate. "Disastrous to the compan-
les" is good!-but disastrous to en-
ployes'' is better-if the. contempla-
ton of the horrible can have COM
parison!-for it can scarcely be more
dangerous to employees than to kill
1000, and main 10000 annually.
And yet, Robinson discovers some
thing wrong about his friends; or
else he strangely 'gives them away!"
For, in his closing article he emits the
following tell-tale language:
"The time has come when the Rail-
roads must move, and the more will
ingly they move and the better grace
they show in doing it, the less will be
the danger OF extreme legislative ac-
ton against them"
Why this assumption of heartless
laxity in the matter! Why the urg-
ency for "better grace?" Better
than what grace? Why, Robinson,
you at least imply that the Wander
bilts of America have hitherto been
heartless-look out for your stipend,
sir!
