The Farmers Beat the Lobby.


The influence of the Lobby" in procuring
and defeating legislation is for the first time
made an issue in a political campaign in
Massachusetts.
This business has become almost a profess
sion with large numbers of people who rep
resent corporations and monopolies. Their
methods are interesting and sometimes I'M
scrupulous. At times they pose as the friend
of the laboring man; while at others OF the
farmer. One of the most amusing illustra-
tons of the way they try to misuse the farm
er was given last summer In Washington.
One A. j. Wedderburn was arrested for al
legged fraud upon the government. 1t ap-
pears that he was the lobbyist at Washington,
of John p. Squire d Co., firm OF rich pork
packers, at Boston, who were trying to Sc
cure the passage of the ConGer lard bill, os-
tensibly in the interest of the farmer, but IN
fact in their own interest and to destroy COM
petition. Wedderhurn published an obscure
agricultural paper, and TO avoid paying post
age on the petitions and circulars sent out to
the farmers to invite their support, he con-
ceived an ingenious method of getting post
age stamps from the government without
having for them. He Is likely to receive his
Just deserts, and the effect has been to open

Let the lobby take warning, and not try
to make the ''poor farmer" pull their chest
nuts out of the fire.
