for q consideration, on the COM
pany's property; and therefore it
obtains that they are compelled to
grant similar privileges to any per-
son who asks it.
II (tertio) it be urged that every
man who raises grain might demand
the same right to build a warehouse
thereby demanding an inadjustabIe
right, we reply: That this is a Sc
.quence with which neither shipper
nor Commission have anything to do
If the sequential conditions render a
policy Odious to the successful work of
the railway, it belongs to the railway
to abandon the policy, and not for
the commission to draw q line
against the number of warehouse
builders. II they cannot pursue a
policy, they must not begin it. This
means that if the results of the just
policy be disadvantageous the rail-
way has no right to deny Mr.. Roe
what it permits to Mr.. Doe-but
denying to Mr.. Doe should also deny
to Mr.. Roe. Hence, if the railway is
not prepared to permit the Alliance
company to transact individual pur-
chase, sale or shipment on it's right
OF way, it must also deny the privi-
lege to the elevator company.
Nothing could seem more at vari-
ance with the facts, to the general
mind-or more repugnant to common
law-than to hold that party,
(the elevator) which is granted lease
hold rights to transact business of
trade profits, on personal capital.
and on figures at personal disposal,
is an actual employee of the lessor
1.-THE railroad) and is transacting
business with it's capital and to it's
profit.
However, and finally, if the said ele-
vatOr is held as a de GctO partner
or factor with the railway, then the
present law, both common and
statutory, would compel said eleva-
tor to receive grain from any farmer,
to be shipped at will by the deposit
tor, and the profits or losses thereof
to accrue to him. This, of course, in
Judgment and in fact, the elevator
company will not allow-the elevator
stands upon it's rights as an in
dependent contractor for privilege.
If, however, the argument would
not hold good in court, and if Sec.
CARRIERS minority opinion he correct
-still-and further, the very fact of
its truth would establish an lab
solute monopoly which is offensive
to statutory and commercial equity.
and the legal destruction thereof
comes within the province of the
Board.

Clark County Democrat:

While the farmers of Dakota are.
crying hard times, and scarcity of
money, their >neighbors all through
the east where a fewyears ago farm
ing was profitable business ara
now giving forth the same cry.
Farming has become a dead business
and no man with energy wants to
work hard 365 days in the year and
come out in debt for his living. To
raise stock is to lose money, to raise
wheat in Dakota under the present
elevator management is to lose
money. the fact is the farmer is work
ing without pay for monied monopo-
~ and what we would like to know
is, when will these same farmers vote
to change the control of the govern,
ment for their benefit? Under the
present cOnditiOns the farmer receives
for what he raises SO small per cent
of what it is actually worth he can
afford to raise only what he cam
by poorer living use himself, for the,
more he produces to sell the poorerit
makes him, thus it is that there ia
demand for labor, while if he could
get for his wheat what it is worth.
labor would be in demand, and the
more would be the necessity of pro-
viding for the labor, consequently the.
greater the acreage sown to grain
which would increase the value of orr
farms.
MankatO Journal:
The farmers of this state are get
ting themselves together lively.
From every part of the state they
are organizing. This means much.
Under ordinary circumstances the
farmer is too much pre-occupied to
devote much time to the great cues
tions SO intimately concerning him
In too many cases this has been left
with the professional politicians
The result, as can easily be imagined.
has been disastrous to the farming
communities. The chief industry ri
the state has received the least at.
tention. But, now, if we read the
sign of the times Alright, there is likely
to be a radical change. The farmer
is coming to the front as a prominent
and Intellectual factor in our state
politics. This is as it should be and
ought to have been long ago. The
politician looks upon these organ
nations with total Indifference, and
significantly winks his eye, and press
es down his rising fear by giving
vent to the very common expression:
They will never hang together, It
remains with the farmers to saw wheth
er or not they will chang together
Kansas COmmOner:
The railroad tie is the only manu-
featured lumber on the free list. Il
is put there to help out the poor rail-
roads, who take four cents a busher
net on every bushel of corn thew
transport, while the farmer loees as
much on every bushel he ships. And

house you must pay - thousand

SENATOR PLATT'S SPEECH.

Senator Orvillc II. Plat of Connecticut,
in his all round good speech as president
Of the Republican State Con vention, said
two particularly good things. One of these
relates fact that is high tribute to pro-
lection. since Connecticut is State whose
population are more dependent Oh protected
industries than almost any other:
There NAV lie more wealth in other
States. but in none is wealth so evenly
distributed. There NAV be more luxury
elsewhere, but not more of agCre -ated
happiness There NAV be more brilliant
and ostenta;ious scholarship in other
commemorative but in none a higher
average Of INTEL gence
The other is now, and should ever be,
the Republican party's golden rule for the
treatment OF old sol licrs:
In this matter Of pensions nothing is ex.
travagant that IL right.
We do not wonder that such a master OF
"the art Of PUTTING things" is United
States Senator.
