twenty years, Mr.. Depew points out,
railway railway rates have gone down
over 100 per cent, while the products
of the farm have fallen only about 80
per cent. This does not indicate that
the rail roads have pursued policy Of
systematic and relentless ex-
tortion. Perhaps their rates are still
too high here and there, but on the
whole there is no room for reasonable
complaint. The tendency is toward
further reduction all the time. Every
attempt of one road or system of roads
to increase the rates is promptly an
tagonizsd and defeated by another.
The railroad business has assumed
condition which promises the cheapes.
service that can be afforded, and all
combina tons to prevs mt such a result
are sure to fail. Considering all the
circumstances, the farmers are being
benefited by the railroads to sn ex-
tent that shpu d win their friendship
and close their GERS to tie tslk of those
who ttll them that exorbitant freights
are sbsorbing their substance and de-
priving them of their rights. 1t is
only necessary for them to look at the
facts in sober ard PRACTICAL way in
order to realize that he agirators are
deceivipg them for selfish and mis-
chievous purposes.

syndicate a day or two ago for $500, 900.
