pounds and the rate Oh hogs will be
established on the same basis. Grain
rates from St. Paul and Minneapolis
to Chicago will advance from I IL
to IL IL cents and commodity rates
in all directions will be advanced.
The new merchandise tariff between
Chicago and the northwest also be-
tween Chicago and the Missouri
river is already in force.
The highwayman will stop you on
the road and at the point of the re-
volver will order you to stand and
deliver, and proceeds to relieve you
of any valuables you might happen
to have about you. The highway
man runs this risk of being caught,
and if caught and found guilty,
goes to prison in order that the law
may be satisfied, and the dignity OF
the state may be vindicated. The
express companies get together and
at their own sweet will and pleas
ure agree to rob the public by sys-
tematic scheme in which they dOu-
bic their express rates, and thus rob
the public. The highwayman has
you in tight place, and says "Stand
and deliver" The railroad compan
iessay, "Walk into my Office and pay
the extra rates." and if the people
demur, they simply say, "the public
be damned if you don't like it,
lump it," They know they have the
people in tight place. Now, l
ask, what is the difference between
highwayman and railroad COM
pany swindling the people? Well,
the difference is just this: One
goes to prison to serve out life
sentence. The others go into their
parlors and declare dividends on
watered stock, and on the money
they filched from the people when
they agree to advanced rates.
There is much complaining about
the excessive charges on live poul-
try by express. So says the Farm
and Poultry, of Boston. Live poul-
try is rated double first-class rates,
making the rate double the highest
rate on merchandise, so high since
the recent advance. Many would
be buyers will think twice before
ordering and the excessive rates will,
unquestionably have a depressing
effect on the trade. If one is buying
$40, $40 and $25 birds, a couple of
dollars apiece for expressage
doesn't seem so much. It's the
more moderate buyer who buys So
to So birds that will be hit the hard
est-$2 for a cockrel (for instance
and then have to pay from 50 to So

Mr.. editor of Farm and Poultry, is
this the way you are going to dis
mis- the question Suppose prom
inent express manager did tell you
that they did not solicit the live
poultry traffic, and that it was more
trouble than it was worth, and when
you told him that they were killing
the business, he told you he didn't
care. No, of course not. It's the
public be damned again. Suppose
the company is getting all the bust
ness it can handle, and every crop
of fowls occupies more space than
merchandise, ask the American
people if they are going to allow
this robber gang to agree to advance
rates, just as they please, and then
tell you just what they will carry
and what they will not, and try and
break up business, just because it
costs them little more to handle?
They are willing to take our stuff if
it don't cost them too much to handle
it. When will the American people
give this gang Of freebooters to un-
derstand that the railroads belong
to the people, and are but their SER
wants? The time is not far distant
when the government will run this
business in the interest of the peo-
pie, and make it possible for the
poultry business, as well as any
other legitimate business, to live.
This agreeing to advance freight
and make it harder for the farmer,
is only fastening the time. Now
then, Mr.. Farm and Poultry, and
everybody in this country who
keeps poultry, we have the remedy
in our own hands if we have mind
to apply it. But it requires a unit
of action all along the line. Let us
then unite and vote for Uncle Sam
to run this business for the whole
people as he does our postal system,
and it can be done if we all say so.
| was talking to railroad man,
and speaking about the advanced
freight rates, he said the reason was
Just this there has been an unusu-
al number of disastrous wrecks on
the road the past year and freight
rates had to be advanced in order to
help pay for some of the damage
caused by destruction of so much
railroad property.
Now, farmers, you see just how
this matter stands. The railroad
company has had losses and yon
are called upon to make them good.
You may have had short crop but
that makes no difference, they will
confiscate it in order that their div
idends shall be forthcoming. tell
you, farmers and labors, our only
remedy ia government ownership.

Again, the old fogy Journal makes
Che statement:
The table shows that the third party this
year pOlled about $4,000 votes; the Republicans
about 700 more, and the Democrats 10000.
The table simply shows nothing Of
the sort.
The Republican vote of Kansas in
1891, instead Of being 10000 more
than that of the Peoples party, is
nearly $4,000 less; while the Demo-
cratic Republican vote is towards 4O,-
600, and the Republican experts can
pick as many Republican votes out
Of this conglomerate mass as the
Democrats are willing they should
have. Let the two clans come to an
agreement!
The Journal itself is in political
graveyard, and it probably has to
whistle to keep it's courage up, by
reason of the Republican deceiving
associated press dispatches that were
80 industriously sent out; and was
not the Journal one of the parties
mildly speaking ito the blunder?
Their lies travelled thousands of miles,
while truth was putting on her boots.
Has the Journal forgotten that its

Court elect?
How gracious for this limb of the
law to condescend to say: "The ALI
snce party through this section of the

judgment"
One might wonder if this man has
judgment sufficient to be q Judge,
when he is 80 careless as to make the
foregoing statement, when it was SO
easy to ascertain the fact that the
per centage Of the Peoples vote-the
Twenty-ffth judicial district
just about the same in 1891 that it
was in 1890!
And yet this disciple Of Coke and
Blackstone is verdant enough to ex-
claim: "It has met its Waterloo!"
The vote of his Democratic party
has fallen of in his judicial district
rs per cent. from last year and yet he
is SO dull he cannot seem to see it.

in remarking: II am elected Judge,
