chagrin of 9th er members, Ut. > L. Lowry
was appointed as chairman and this duty de-
yoved upon him. The jealousy OF the lrateT-

ntf5lic, and this appointment fully aroused
this feeling and the oth,r memhers
soon set to work TO GUST the

Lowry suppOeing il was committee COhiCL

Lowry said he would see him later ana holo
him personally to account. Or. Heru lnere

Mr.. Dunn, of the Princeton Union,
says we do not tell the truth when
we credited him with putting forth
the grain-buyer, middle-man and rail-
road sympathizer as proper timberfor
lawmakers. He don't exactly say
we don't tell the truth-but says
we are liar! We humbly apologize
for being called liar. We won't be
called so any more. If Bobb Dunn
didn't write an article-in the Prince
ton Union--maintaining that these
men were fit timber to make legisla-
tors of, then-we are a liar! But per-
haps he didn't-we'd rather be a
liar any day than have him write
such an article. We agree with him
then that the farmers ought not to
send such men to make their laws.
Robert is right anyway!

DEAR SIR:
Will you please inform the public
why the R. R. Co. cannot build plat
forms along their own line so that
farmers could load their own cars ?
After the wheat gets into elevators
you have got to take out what they
like to give. There is no use to re-
hash all the abuse that We are sub
ject to. Wheat is freight and the
elevators are run in conjunction with
railroads to get every cent that can
be got 1t is time for a new deal. A
platform would make an entire
change in the wheat deal, as so Der
cent would be shipped, and elevators
would remain idle, or have to let the
wheat go by them. There was one
farmer who got ahead ofthe NJ. & M.
R.R. Co. The order was to furnish
cars only when the goods were in
sight. He brought in machinery.
sacks of barley, oats, wheat, plows
wagons, etc., and had them weighed
The agent receipted for them and !
said ''order the car when Won like
I've got business down home .
"Hold on" said the agent, 'swho is
to load?" "Well,' replied the farm, a.
er, "don't know, if l don't get the
goods, they will be we'll sold-good
day!' The agent was dumb: everv
thing was piled full. The r. R. Co.
paid about $11 to load the car.
Since then new orders came out.
Each farmer must deposit S. in or
derlng car, and if he is over twenty
TOUR hours loading he must forfeit
the V. Whenever a farmer orders
cars, agents must notify Elevator
Cos. buyers, and have them try and
get it into the elevators if possible.
They are trying to shut down COM
mission men and private BUYERS
In each town. If platform was at
each station an agricultural com
munity don't need protection as
they are getting poorer every veal
and any change would be for better.

There can be no mincing OF mat
ters in the employment OF convictla-
Dor, as against the free labor OF our
citizens. Their interests AS well as
the interests of the community are
at stake. The interests of the state
are of minor consideration. The
people are the state, and when it
comes to the point of giving employ
ment to free skilled workmen as
against convict labor, the question is
easily determined. Ii the St Cloud
Reformatoryis is to beput to such uses,
then it would be better for the state,
better for the people, better for the
laboring men, were it sunk in the
bottom of Lake Superior.
This sentiment is universal, and
should not be ignored.

St. Louis Republic:
The farmers convention, which
meets in St. Louis to-day, should so
state the grievances OF the farmers
of the country that the Republican
Congress will have no room to plead
a misunderstanding. The demand
for lower Federal taxes on the farm
should be made explicit and en-
phatic.
Oh let us have Flower Fed
eral taxes on the farm!' Lower
taxes on the railways, in the eleya-
tors, and by the option gamblers
less Doodle by the politicians-fewer

All there, HectOrite!

The class of journals who think
better farming will ''bust a trust"
are brought face to face with the
most astounding condition of agri-
culture indicated by the actual
ABANDONMENT OF FARMS all over the
country.
The manure editor" is a curious
customer. His Sublime Emptiness
advises the alliance to let politics
alone and study carrots, though
manure and fertilizers is his "best
hold.' We call his attention TO the
following, from the Phila. Weekly
Press:
If anyone had predicted before the
war that considerable number Of
homesteads in New England would
be deserted within twenty-five years,
he would have been secuted as a
false prophet, but in fact the depOpula-
ton of the hill towns of New Hamp-
shire, Vermont and Massachusetts
has become a matter of such serious
magnitude that two at least of these
States have taken legislative action
on the subject.
In Vermont the Commissioner of
Industries has been making tour of
inspection through the State, in COM
pany with Mr.. NOrdgren, the Swedish
emigration agent, in the hope OF in
ducing colonies of Swedes to come in
and populate the vacated lands.
Sweden is a cold and rugged coun-
try, and it is hoped that the condi-
tiOns in Vermont will be attractive
to the thrifty and hardy men and
women of Northwestern Europe. In
New Hampshire Mr.. N. J. Balchelder,
commissioner of agriculture and emf
grafton, publishes a description OF
abandoned farms for sale and the
terms on which they can be secured.
He is authorized by law to collect in
formation from the sclectmen of var
i0us towns and from los towns
which responded to his first cir
cular SS9 abandoned farms are re-
ported.

all excavations and embankments
for the formation of the road bed,
depot grounds and necessary turn
outs, changing direction of streams,
cutting down or raising up any
highway or private road foundation
pits, and all other excavations and
embankments in any way connected
with, or incident to construction of
the railway"
Then our engineer says:
1.-THE amount of work which is
necessary in order to get the right of
way ready for building a road is a
great deal"
The Specifications state that the
contractor (sub) has to do this:
CLEARING AND GRUBBING.-The
surface of the ground is to be cleared
the entire width of the right of way
of all brush, trees, logs or 9th
er perishable material which are
to be removed or burned, as
the engineer may direct "All
roots, stumps and grubs must
be removed to depth of at least two
feet below the surface IN embank-
ments of less than two feet in height,
and for a distance of six feet outside
the slope stakes"
No, sir, Mr.. Engineer, the estimates
made in this paper are reasonable
and just-and based on the actual
facts. If the farmers of any one or
more counties wish to build rail-
road they can do SO for $4,000 mile
"a fairly built, serviceable road.
And if they wish a better one 81, 800 a
mile will furnish the article. $4,000
a mile will build a road with very
heavy cuts and fills-Of course the
"cut'' does not figure unless the earth
has to be carried a great distance, or
wasted is, not used for the
ellis" There is not road in Mime
sofa which cost over $4,000 to the
mile to build AND EQUIP !-unless we
except a few "stations;" and we
don't know where those are The
average cost throughout the state is
not over $4,000 total cost-and we
have the documents which say so.

An Engineer Gets Excited

An Engineer Gets Excited.
A railroad contractor, Or civil engi-
neer, has written us a letter. Atleast
we take the writer to be such by the
make up OF the letter. He says that
there are many things that we have
not considered in our estimate of the
cost Of grading and building. The
letter would be published but the
writer requests to the contrary.
He is wholly Observation-Disclosures
on every point he makes. For in
stance he says:
"The man that contracts for fifty
three stations Tone mile-ED. is the
man you have figured on, and he
might do the grading for 6 to 1Ocents
if he wanted to, but it amt the con-
tractors figures" We suppose
here he means the general cOntrac-
tori
We did not figure on the teamster's
contract. We used 15c. cubic yard
for grading. The 6, 8 and 10c. figures
were those of an actual railroad con-
tractor-and his document" (Chica-
go, Kansas City & Neb. Ry.) are be-
fore us as we write. Again, q gener-
al contract has just been let to build
twenty-five miles on levels averaging
not over three foot elevation, for TEN
CENTS yard:
He says again:
"You do not realize what it costs
to grade for stations, switches, side
tracks, etc.
Well now, dear friend, we do realize
lust that identical matter. We cOpy
word for word from the printed
Specifications, used in this state
and elsewhere:

While the CUFFS OF dear Minnesota
are trying to break up the organiza-
ton of farmers-or remaining apart
and the state simply suffers in

Missouri is on the double-quick. She

We see by the ST. Louis Republic that
a store firm were given 80 days to

Remedies.
the editor of GREAT WEST:

Remedies.
To the editor of GREAT WEST:
While working toward the emanci-
patton of the human family from the
bonds of superstition and ignorance,
will you kindly make room in your
valuable paper for the expression OF
opinions in regard to methods where
by this may be accomplished indie
pendent of political action.
TRUSTS.
The formation OF great trusts can
be used as object lessons for labor to
draw inspirations from. These COM
binations are formed by non-pro-
ducers to rob the producing class,
yet are truly cooperative in their
own sphere OF action.
This labor question is purely a
business question, and can be settled
by business methods. Set the ma
chine to grinding backwards and you
will soon eliminate all Objectionable
features.
HOW CAN THIS BE DONE?
Simply and easily. Let the pro-
ducing classes pool their consump-
tion to create fund to establish CO.
operative enterprises upon a cost
basis, which can be readily done and
would soon revolutionize the present
profit and interest bearing money
mongering system that is sapping
the vitality of the producers.
FIGURES WON'T LIE.
And figures taken from authentic
sources prove that out Of every $40
OF wealth created by labor, labor re-
ceives but $3.50 of the amount.
Where does the balance go? 1t goes
toward paying dividends on water"
for rents, usury, profits, insurance
and waste.
Laborers who produce are interest
ed in securing a better price for their
products, while those who consume
are equally interested in buying
cheaply.
Now these seemingly antagonistic
elements can be brought together
and each realize their aims through
cooperation, by saving the loss of
interest and heavy cost of handling
through an organized demand system
with an organized production and
distribution.
When the people realize that only
$3 in money, out of every 500 OF
business transacted, is required to
conduct the business of the clearance
houses, and when farmers understand
when they are paying 10 per cent. on
$1OO it is equivalent to paying $40
for the use OF $3 a year, then there
will be little need of surmises in re-
gard to why they make nothing in
their business, but conduct it at an
actual loss, and will be ready to turn
to cooperative enterprises for relief,
thus furnishing one branch of CO.
operative enterprise, production.
This, with the factory, mill and store,
makes all the factors OF productive
and distributive cooperation. Yet
we are lacking in the one thing-an
organized demand. With this we
have all the elements of success and
will be enabled to save to the laborer
all the wealth created by his labor.
Yours, SPRIG.

Who is it that is shouting
out against people forming new
political parties? Who is it, in
America-a republic? A politician
who will argue in this way is
unfit to breath the air of a repub-
lie. He is traitor to the country's
foundation principles. We do not
urge the formation OF party now
but if anyone wants to urge it let
him urge-it's a privilege bought
with blood!

MARYLAND Farmer:

Maryland Farmer:
The time is approaching when
many farms all along on the At
lantic seaboard will be placed in
the same catalogue. Unsparing
taxation and continual building
up of other interests at the ex-
pense of the farmers, are doing a
sad work in this direction.
Western farmers are in no bet
ter condition, for they are gener-
ally in the clutch of capitalists
who are forcing them to pay
large interest. Mortgages are
destroying them.
Great need exists for some de-
cided action to arrest the ten
dency OF present movements in
our country. The outlook is
one OF gloom-it should be made
bright before something worse
shall happen.
