The Case Plainly STATED.

Another argument for the farmers and
others of the upper Aroostook towns to
consi3er is this. They are now obliged to
haul whatever they export to Presque Isle
and thence to haul back those necessary
articles of consumption which they receive
from the outside markets. The day the
direct railroad strikes Presque Isle the
farmer in Ashland or Mssardis gets the
benefit Of the same reduction in freight.
that the farmer ia Presque Isle does, and IL
By the completion of the ROAD the PreeQue
Islefsrmer receives twenty-five cents more
per barrel for his potatoes the Ashland
farmer has the benefit Of the same advance
Thus ii ia plain that in the interim between
the completion Of the road to Presque Isle
and its extension to the upper Aroostook
tou MS those towns are receiving compsra-
lively the same benefit from the increased
facilities as those living nearer the shipping
points. Let Us make this point plain. On
Thursday Of last week twenty loads of
potatoes, sggregating 26o barrels, arrived
at Presque Isle from Ashland. Now IL the
new line had been completed TO Presque
Isle and thereby the price Of potatoes had
been enhanced to the amount Of 25 cts per
Dbl. it would have cost no more 10 haul
those 20 loads from Ashland and the own-
ers would have received S65 more for
them after they got them here. The sams
is true in relation TO the 80 tons of freight
which on the ssme day started by teams
from Presque Isle TO Ashland. Had the
new road with its consequent reduction of
freight changes been in operation every
consumer in Ashland and vicinity who
purchased a portion Of those goods would
receive benefit in the reduced price of the
articles consumed, for ia the matter OF
FREIGHT charges il is undeniahls that 'sthe
tariff is 3 tax and tax which the con-
sumner has to pay on articles purchased and
the producer in the less price received for
bis potatoes etc, shipped out Of the
county.

There shouid be No OPP o.itior.

We have no right then to expec. any

county votes fsvorsbly the branch to Ash
land will be completed in 3 very

the farmers in these tqGns will
be enabled to ship many times 20 loads
Of potatoes and to receive more for them

saw it have not yet done laughing over
1t. 1t appears that one Of the old set
tiers of st. Paul, wearying Of calling
and dunning for bill, brought suit to

of trial came on the old settler, who II
as jolly an Irishman as ever wore sham
rock, was little late showing up; the
jury had been impaneled and sworn.
He entered, sat behind his attorney
and rapidly ran his eye over the jury.
When he reached the last man he
sprang to his feet and, regardless Of
court etiquette and decorum, called
out: "Holy Moses! Judge, every
mothers son ON that jury owes me .
bill. Dismiss the case quick or I'M
turn up in that fellows debt."-St.
Paul Globe.
