fill all it's purpose, and surely at a.
great saving in cash. As it is now,
the 10th of each month is looked for
ward to by the speculative pits in
grain, and violent changes in price
on the day following, are the rule not
the exception. l have no doubt at
all, but an investigation of the past
seven years would show such loss
to farmers, as a result of the publica-
tion of these reports, as would sur
prise them, and induce the alliance to
take such measures as to urge that
they be discontinued in the future.
Knowing your connection with the
farmers is my excuse for presenting
this matter before you. Yours Re-
spectfully, A. MCYoUNG.
In this respect let us state that the
same monthly pamphlet report pub
lished prominently to the world the
freight rates on grain, New York to
Liverpool, at II and 12c. per bushel,
for a year or two-this under the au-
thority Of the U. S. government! The
GREAT WEST got on to the fact last
year-and informed the Infamous
scoundrels by letter that if they did
not change that statement, made
every month, to conform to the
truth, we would smite them in every
hamlet in the United States-and ex-
pose them as thieves and liars.
What was the result?
The very next issue gave the freight
rate as 3 and DC. per bushel!
Smoke that, farmers, in your pipe
and then measure the amount of
'purity" there is in this govern
ment!
