WHEAT GROWERS CONVENTION.
The Lesson Taught by Trusts was
Cooperation.

ST. LOUIS, Oct 24-The interstate
wheat growers convention met again to-
day. Robert Lindbloom, chairman of the
wheat spectators, made speech, in
which he gave the SPECTATORS side of the
question. He said the mcnopolists had
taught the society a lesson that would in
time make monopoly an lmpossibility.
That lesson was the lesson OF cooperation.
The lesson taught by trusts was co-opera-
ton. There was no foundation for the
cry about over production. In five years
while the production of wheat decreased
21@ per cent, the price decreased % per
cent. The speaker then went on to show
there had been no over-productionS in
other countries.
President Coleman, secretary of agri-
culture, then addressed the convention
from free trade standpoint. He de-
nounced the way farmers are used by the
present administration and protective pol
icy, and said the only way to protect their
interests was to adopt free trade. He as
sailed the elevator combines and pool com
missions of farmers.
The committee on resolutions then pre-
sented resolution that the farmers of
states lying on the Mississippi and Mis-
souri, river valleys and of the states of
Oregon, Washington and California in
national convention assembled, hereby
memorable Congress and the President of
the United States, and most seriously petit
ton them to make such reciprocity treaties
with those foreign nations to whom we
ship onr surplus farm products as
will cause such foreign customs
duties to be removed from our
farm products shipped abroad thereby
causing US to receive a higher
price for our foreign farm surplus
and thereby fixing higher price upon all
that we sell at home; that we ask that such
steps be taken by the national Congress as
will destroy existing monopolies and trusts
and prevent the formation of others, so we
may get farming implements at a fair price
and that the present laws be repealed that
place a duty on farming implements or on
raw materials used in their manufacture
An animated debate followed, which was
decidedly political in its character. The
free traders greatly outnumbered the pro-
tectiOnists, and the resolutions were finally
adopted by large majority.
During the afternoon permanent or
ganization, to be known as the Inter Wheat
Growers association, was formed, with N
J. Goldman as uent-chairman.
Among other resolutions adopted, was one
requesting the superintendent. of census
(PorterJ TO collect data to show in the next
census what percentage OF people in this
country occupy their own holGes and what
per cent. are agents.

Sykes and the Tariff Agreement.

WILKEsBARRE, Oct. 24.-There were no
new developments in the Plymouth church
fight today. The sheriff has declined to
interfere.
The tariff agreement between the North
western and Union Pacific has created a
great deal of discussion among railroad
officials in this city. Vice-PresidentS Sykes,
of the Northwestern road, said tonight
that the contract is not an exclusive ar
rangement between both roads in the
sense of either road refusing to handle the
business of other competitors. The Rock
Island and Burlington have western con
nection of their own, and the alliance be
tween the Northwestern and Union Pacific
is simply i'll the line of similar arrange
ments already made by other systems. The
arrangement does not go east of Chicago,
and Vice-President Sykes said he had nc
knowledge that the allied lines intended to
make eastern connections

UNION PACIFIC SCHEMES.
What the Contract With the Northwestern
May Mean rs u Through Line.

What the Contract With the Northwestern
May Mean rs Through Line.
BosToS, Oct. 24.-The report of traffic
agreement between the Union Pacific aud
the Chicago & Northwestern was con-
tirmed at the Union Pacific Office to-day.
The agreement is for ten years. 1t covers
thirty closely printed pages. 1t is longer
than the agreement between the Omaha
& Republican Valley and Chicago, Mime
apolis 81 Omaha, for a joint line via
Sioux City, Iowa to be known as
the Lake Superior, St. Paul &
Union Pacific line. The agreement
between the Northwestern and Union
Pacific establishes a line from Council
Bluffs, to be known as the Chicago, Union
Pacific & Northwestern. The entire sys-
tenn of the parties to the contract, except
in the case of the Kansas division of the
Union Pacific, which at no point connects
with the Northwestern are included.
The agreement provides for q
joint tariff and trains; settlement
of disputes, division of earnings from
through trains, propositions of equipment,
rates under competition, and that no com
petitor shall have advantages over this
agreement, which goes into effect Novem-
Der l. The agreement nowhere goes east of
Chicago, but it is thought here the contract
means nothing less than through line
from ocean to ocean, by way of Boston and
Albany, and the Vanderbilt lines.

The Front Gate.

lT,6 cTOui Gatcs
An old and crippled gate anil,
And twenty years have passed
Since was hung up high and dry
Betwixt these posts SO fast;
But now I've grown so powerful weak
Despised by man and beast
I'm scarcely strong enough to squeak,
Although I'm never creased.
Twas twenty years ago, say.
When Mr.. Enos White,
Came kind of hanging round my way
Most every other night
he hung upon my starboard side,
And she upon the other,
TIL Susan Smith became his bride.
And In due time mother.
Igroaned intensely when heard
Despite am no churl-
My doom breathed in a single word:
The baby was grill
And as she grew, and grew, and grew,
loud bemoaned my fate:
For she was very fais to view,
And IL was the gate!
Then, In due time, a lover came,
Betokening my ruin,
A dapper fellow, Brown by name,
The grown up baby wooin'.
They sprang upon me in the gloam,
And talked of moon and star.J
They're married now and Live at homo
Along with ma and pa
Ny lot was happy for year,
No counting night or day
/ had no thought, had no fear
Bad luck would come my way.
But, oh! this morning, save the mark
There came wild surprise,
4 shadow fitted, grim and dark,
Across my sunny skies.
A doctor, with knowing smile,
A nurse with face serene,
A hustle in the house the while,
Great Scotti what can it meant
My hinges ache, my back is weak,
My piclsets in 8 whirl;
hear that awful doctor speak:
