fREIGHTs AND FARMERS
iFrom the Chicago Times, |

In q book recently published, Profs.
Jenks and Ely present very elaborate
and careful estimates of the cost OF
hauling freight in wagons on country
roads. The general results of these
estimates is presented in the brief but
pregnant statement that al present the
average cost of hauling 100 bushels OF
grain one mile is 60 ceuts. In other
words, sixty cents is the cost OF hauling
three tons one mile. 1t there is no
mistake in the estimate, 1t 10 something
for the farmer to think about.
The average cost OF hauling 1OC
bushels of wheat one mile by rail ID
SAID to be one.third of cent. From
these statements taken together II
appears that il costs l80 times as much
to haul given quantity Of wheat from
the farm TO the rsilway station as II
| does TO haul il the same distance BY
rail. To state it another way, 1t costs
as much to haul a crop of wheat dis.
tance of ten miles from the farm to the
station as 1t does TO haul the same crop
l 800 miles from the station 10 the
market. l he average distance from
the farm to the station may not be ten
| miles. Suppose 1t 10 be half that dis.
tauce, or five miles II Is then to be
said that the average haul by rail tC
market is not 800 miles, but less than
half that distance. The conclusion re.
mains that il costs fully as much 10 haul
the crop TO the station as II does tC
haul il from the station to the market
The lesson which the farmer has to
learn from all this is obvious. His
worst enemy so far as transportation
Is concerned,ls not the railroad, but the
wagon road. And what he most
| needs TO do is to set about the business
of cheapening transportation from the
farm to the railway. IL is right and
proper, OF course, to resist extortion
where 1t is prscticed by railway aud
elevator companies, but the farmer
should not permit himself to become so
much absorbed in that business as To
neglect the other business, where there
is an iucomparably more promising
field for economy.
A bushel OF wheat Is hauled by rail
800 miles for 5 cents. That Is pretty
cheap, and the farmer cannot expect
mu h cheaper railway service very
soon. II costs him five cents 10 haul
! the bushel about eight miles by wagon
e the cost OF the wagon haul were re-
.iuced TO one cent per bushel 1t would
still be thirty.six times the cost OF the
haul by rail for the same distance, and
the farmer would be ahead four cents a
bushel. Here is the place Tor economy

SOME STARTLING FIGURES.
IFrom the Kansas City Star

Ii is shown by the statistical report
of the state board of agriculture that
the value of the corn crop in Illinois In
1889 was S5s, 1897 ,049, at 2S cents per
oushel, and that it cost to produce and
market it-allowing per cent on the
investment in the land on which il wss
raised-$6S, ,27l 1872, or %, ,9i5 1923 more
than the value. This is truly a start
ling statement and goes to prove how
far economic questions transcend in
Importance all other Issues which are
now up tor consideration before The
people. In the presence OF such q
condition Of the agricultural intere =, y
of the country is it not the aerest
trsversity upon statesmanship to talk

PARTY HARMONY,

There is an evident desire upon the part
Of all republicans to now lay aside ary
party division which may have prevailed
in the past. Here is presented an oppor-
tunity to display party fealty and man
hood that should not be frIttcred away,
and the PRESS BELIEVES republicans are
sensible enough to grasp it. A square,
toeu republican campaign In Hand conn
ty will elect the entire ticket. Aud IL
may as we'll be candidly stated nothing
else will. An examination Of the tickets
will readily preye the republican ticket.
though it may not exactly suit every
member of the party, is as good il not bei-
ter than the one selected by independents;
it was fairly nominated, and stands
squarely upon the broad principles OF
republicapism.
Under republican rule and republican
officials the nation, state, and county have
been MANAGED and conducted with econ
omy, honesty aed singular success, and a
thorough examination and investigation
will surely convince all practical men
that ii is wise to continue under such gov
ernmen.al control. With the best ticket,
with the best arguments. with good ma
jorIty. and with the best leaders, there
remains only one policy to pursue to IN
sure complete success-saw wood and
