Why so much Difference.
Benson Monitor:
We have been asked many times
lately the reason why there is so
much difference in the price OF wheat
at this point and at Minneapolis.
Wheat here Wednesday was worth
66 cents per bushel OF No. hard. At
Minneapolis it brought II cents.
Why SO much difference? Do the ele-
vatOrs' charge for handling and pro-
fits, and the freight to Minneapolis,
123 miles amount to ii cents? Surely
the elevator companies do not take
more than a reasonable profit for
handling the grain. And that profit
together with the freight rate should
not amount to II cents per bushel
Then where does the fault lie? 1t
must be with the railroad company
That corporation takes all it can
make out of the farmers products
for the purpose Ofmaking milliOnares
of it's stockholders. There is no rea-
son in the world why there should
be a difference of IL cents on such a

But will this stealever cease? 1t will
} when Minnesota gets other than a
legislatures; when men are
elected to that body who are invul-
nerable to the offers of the railroad
kings. When the legislature can be
a peoples legislature and not a cor
pOratiOn'S legislature. The ManitO-
ba railroad company has grown to
be one of the greatest railroad sys-
TENS in the United States. and how
did it become such? Charging rates
On freight that are double what they
should is one of the reasons. But
the Manitoba is no worse than any
road in the State They can all be
charged OF the same, fOr it is nothing
short OF a crime to rob the farmers
of Il few cents on every buShel of
grain they sell.

He Gained the Audience.

Mrs. Jeffreys-Lewis has probably had a
more varied professional career than any
other actress of her age in this country.
She has played from one end of the United
States to the other, even penetrating to the
wild regions Of Alaska.
Her experiences in consequence have been
sometimes very amusing. In one wild, far
away settlement, where she played for one
night only, the settlers were SO wrought up
by the thought of the forthcoming show that
they turned the day into holiday and ceased
all work When the doors Of the hall were
