Itates of TRANSPORTATION.

The influence Of Freight rates in
maintaining low prices for farm prod
ucts is, at present receiving a large
share OF attention. In some counties
Of this State it is said the people are
circulating petitions asking the Rail
Road companies in view Of the ex-
tremely lowprevailing prices, to make
special rates for the time being, to
enable the farmer to realize a small
profit on his sales. Under our pres
ent system Of marketing farm prod
ucts il is quite a question at which
end Of tho line the benefit Of a reduct-
ion Of rates would be realized. The
present methods Of manipulating the
markets show evidences of design
that the producer shall not make any
rapid strides on the road to prosperi-
ty, and il is o question whether re-
duced rates Of transportation would
result in better prices to the farmers
or simply in reducing prices in the
controlling markets. If tho Rail Road
Companies could be induced to grant
the reduction Osked for we should
await the result with much interest.

TINE FEDERATION.

The article published in another
column, taken from the Journal of
the knights Of Labor, breathes a
true fraternal spirit which should
receive a most cordial reciprocal re-
sponse from our organization. We
are all suffering from the same causes,
organized upon the same basic prin-
ciples, with che same objects in view,
and inspired by the same hopes;
and it matters not within which
lines we are enrolled for work
Should a like basis of cooperation be
agreed upon between the Alliance
and the Grange, the strength Of the
combined forces will be again aug
mented, and their power for good
correspOndingly increased. This rs-
suit is hoped to be attained in this

Sec 6. "That u sbGHbe IGlcfuI for
tho secretary Of the treasury with the
approval Of the president of the Uni
tod Statesto suspend, temporarily, the
receipt OF silver bullion for treasury
notes When he Is sati9ded that through
combinations or speculative manipu-
lation of the market tho price OF silver

twill be seen that a speculative
market is here contemplated as re-
suit Of this policy, and that it is made
lGlCfuI for the secretary, at his option,
to suspend the exchange Of certif-
Gates for bullion. II will occur 10 the
thoughtful reader that it might de-
pend on how deeply the secretary or
his friends we're interested in "specu-
lative mNnipulations" how much
would be required to "satisty' him
that the price was arbitrary, nominal
and fictitious. The authority pro-
posed TO be conferred upon one
man by this bill would make him the
most powerful autoerat on the globe.
Sec. 8, This section provides for
the repeal Of the present law requir-
ing the coinage Of not less than 49,
100000 per month.
The entire bill is framed in the in
terest of capitalists and speculqtors
both domestic aud foreign. How
much support it will receive in Con-
gress remains ID be seen. When sill
YER shall be placed on an equality with
gold in every respect as money OF tho
United States, it's value can no longer
be deprecated, speculation in it will
cease, and it can no longer be made an
instrument of discrimination against
American products in the hands Of
foreign power. While It remains
such On instrument, it does so with the
sanction and authority Of the govern
ment of the United States, which is
thus sustaining the speCulAtiOns of a
foreign nation at the expense Of her
own people.
The people should study this ques-
tion thoroughly in order to fully an
derstand the position Of their repre-
sentatives in Congress and know pre-
cisely whose interests they are repre-
senting.

WINDOWS SILVER BILL.

commodity which Mr.. WlndOmH
scheme is calculated TO afford. The
bill prepared by him with the appro-
val Of the president and submitted to
Congress makes ample provision for
Che successful conduct Of such specu-
lation. It is provided in Section l
for the purchase Of silver bullion Eat
the market price, such price to be de-
termined by the secretary Of the
treasury under rules and regulations
prescribed, based on prices current IN
the leading siIver markets of the
world." The fact that the market is
to be a speculative one is here dis
tinctly recognized; and the price is to
be determined "by the leading silver
markets. Of the world" What are the
Lending silver markets Of the world7
Unquestionobly Great Britain figures
conspicuously In these markets and
has very much to do with determining
prices. AS long as silver remains
simply acommodity with a ductuating
value in this great silver producing
country, just 30 long will England
mako use OF il TO the detrlment Of our
agricultural interests. India is .
British dependency, and silver is the
legal money Of that country. AS long
as England can purchase American
silver at a discount, transport it TO
India where it possesses it's full pur-
chasing power atpar as sthelegal mon
ey Of the country, exchange it for
Indian wheat, and place that wheat
in British markets In competition with
American wheat, just so long will the
price OF American wheat be reduced
TO the full extent TO which silver
is depreciated in American
markets. The policy Of the
present Administration proposes
thus TO open the door to speculation
in silver certificates and silver bullion
through direct barter with the United
States treasury, and further to per-
petuate the nefarious swindle by
by which Great Britain is enabled to
discriminate against American wheat
through this SYSTEM OF AnglC-Indian
speculation in American deprecated
silver. What u glorious country ours
is getting to bel How wondrously
are the rights Of her citizens protect
cd against the Vaccinations OF foreign
The bypoCriey Of the scheme
is seen in the pretense Of discrimins-
tion in favor Of American silver.

part Of silver bullion imported into

A DISGUISED CLIENT
Sues His Attorneys, Messrs. Marshalli
& Imbrie, Because
THEY FAILED TO WIN HIS CASE.
he Wants Them to Return Their Fees and
Pay Him Damages.
A FIGHT OVER wEBsTEEs DICTIONARY

A statement was filed yesterday in the
suit of R. M. Kennedy for use of WI.
Thompson, against Attorneys Thomas Mar
shall, Thomas Marshall, Jr.. and A. Nd.
Imbrie, doing business as Marshalls q
Imbrie. The suit is to recover SIC, 900 with
interest from A ugust s, 1884, amounting in
all to S27 ,150.
1t is stated that in May, 1884, Kennedy
manufactured and sold medicines and owned
about $3.50, 900 worth of real estate. Prior
to the failure of the Penn Bank he made
note to W. N. Riddle, President of the bank,
for SIS 600, but no consideration was received
for it. The bank failed May Is, 1884, and suit
was afterward brought against Kennedy on the
note. He employed the Observation-Disclosures
& 1mbrie-as attorneys, and paid them $500 fees,
They informed him that he had good defense
to the suit, and in consequence Of this advice
he made no preparations for payment OF the
note and refused compromises that were Of
fered. He filed affidavit of defense, but the
for So, $50 so for want of sufficient affidavit of
defense. The defendants told Kennedy that
the Courts decision was wrong, and on their
Court and gave them $500 more for their fees.
On August 6 1884, it is alleged, the defend
ants proposed that the plaintiff convey to them
certain real estate at an agreed price, which
was done, and SIX, ,00U fixed on as the value.
They were to retain the money until the end Of
some contemplated litigation in connection
with the Penn Bank, when they would deduct
fair price for their services and pay Kennedy
the balance. The litigation never took place,
but the Supreme Court affirmed the Judgment
of the lower Court against Kennedy He. rest
ing on his attorneys advice, had not expected
it, and was not prepared to meet the judgment
when it was entered. As result all his real
estate was sold at great sacrifice and his busi-
ness broken up and ruined.
The defendants since have repeatedly refused
to pay Kennedy for the properly conveyed to
them, although they never performed any more
service for him, and he asserts they were amply
remunerated for all they had done by the 81, 600
previously given them. He therefore sues to
recover the full $40, 600, the value Of the prop
artv with intarast

a WESTERN INCIDENT.
How They Help Robbed Ladies In the State
of Washington.

How They Help Robbed Ladies' In the State
of Washington.
1t was little incident, but it illustrates
the generous spirit of the Western people.
A lady in boarding Northern Pacific train
near Tacoma was robbed OF her pocket
book by some rough. looking men who jostled
her in the doorway of the car. She was bound
for Michigan, and the thieves hadn't left
her even a cent. Her ticket was drawn out
with her purse, but it fell to the floor, and
someone picked 1t up and gave it to the
conductor. That individual had foghorn
voice, a piercing eye, and altogether his
general appearance was uninviting and be-
tokened little sympathy, so the passengers
thought, but they were mistaken.
As soon as he found the distressed lady
off went his cap, and chipping in half dol
lar himself he announced to the passengers
that the lady had been robbed, and he
asked for contributions. Everyone re-
sponded, and when he came back and
emptied the contents into her lap, there
wasn't more pleased man in the car than
the big, gruff conductor as he listened to the
jingle OF the silver; and the woman, well,
she had recovered good portion of her loss.

CHARTIsRE-In the past "a hours the
bottom seems to have dropped out of the
CHARTERS gusher. Yesterday Feely 8,
Garland No. 8, Heiser, was making 800
barrels, but today is only doing 400 barrels.
Beck No. was doing IS barrels per hour,
but has declined to 80 barrels an hour. The
Forest Oil Company No. 4, Duff, are through
the first pay and the well is flowing 400 bar
rels per day; the drill is still wagging.
Feely & Garland have cleaned out
their No. 1, which increased its production
from 165 barrels per day to 200. Their No.
2, reported as doing 60 barrels day, found
better digging in the bottom of the sand,
and to-day is making 200 barrels. The
owners contemplate treating the well to a
liberal dose of glycerine. They also fin
ished drilling the sand to-day in No. 4,
which is producing 200 barrels day. The
Patterson well. on the Joe May farm, To-
Gated west of south from Heiser No. about
800 feet, has not improved with deeper drill
ing, and at the present stage the we'll has no

duetion to 300 barrels day; their No. 2 is

lish Webster's dictionary, with and without the
word unabridged. The defendant. Southwick,
however, is publishing and selling dictionary
under the name of Webster's dictionary, made

ant from continuing to publish the book, and
to make him account for what profits he has
derived from it.
