The ownership Of a Letter.

The Youths Companion publishes an arti-
Gle in which the ownership Of letter and
its conditions are set forth. The impression
that a letter Is no longer the property of the
sender but belongs to the person to whom
1t is addressed, is not correct. The follow
ing in brief are given as the conditions of
ownership:
Under the postal regulations of the United
States and the rulings of the highest courts
O letter does not belong to the person to
whom it is sent until it is delivered to him.
The writer has right to reclaim and regain
possession Of 1t, provided he can prove to
the satisfaction of the postmaster at the Of
flee from which 1t was sent that he was the
writer of it.
Even after the letter has arrived at the
Office which is its destination, and before 1t
has been delivered to the person to whom it
Is addressed 1t may be recalled by the writer
by telegraph through the mailing office. The
regulations Of the postoffice department, of
course, require that the utmost care shall
be taken by the postmaster at the office of
mailing to ascertain that the person who de-
sires to withdraw the letter Is really the
one who is entitled to do so, and the post
master is responsible for his error II he de-
iiyers the letter to an imposter or an unau-
thorized person.

ERWIN'S OPINION.
The Attorney for the Grain
Growers Association Speaks
Strongly,
And Defends Pillsbury Against
the Chicago Wheat
Gamblers.
Injury Resulting From False
Sales and Fictitious Prices
Is Shown.
Efforts Of Gamblers to Rob
Farmers Aided by the
Democrats.

W. W. Erwin, who was the prosecuting
attorney for the grain growers before the
legislative committee which investigated the
charges against the elevator men last year,
thus expresses the true meaning of the at
tack made by the Democratic wheat gambler
combine against the Republican party, Sena-
tor Washburn and G. A. Pillsbury:
More wheat is collected on the influence Of
Duluth and Superior ports than in any other
place on earth, while the amount now gath
cred Is to be increased in the near future to
over 4OO, 900, 900 bushels of wheat annually.
The capacity Of the Red river valley alone
is 150OOO,OOO, while north and west lie the
area of ten vast states of wheat growing dis
tricts which will produce hundreds Of mill
ions of bushels. This soil is unique for
wheat production. 1t is the same in char
acter as that of Odessa, which has grown
wheat for three centuries.
At Winnipeg the. government farm has
already grown over sixty crops of consecu-
tive wheat paintings successfully. The vast
railroad systems of the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific are now established in
the wheat center. They will develop the in
dustry of wheat production with rapidity
undreamed of. Here on this shore Europe

Vertisement of the Chicago matchmaking
wheat circular, contains the following:
The accuracy of the letters contained in
1t Is authenticated by w. NJ. Campbell, ex-
chairman, and p. ]. Smalley, secretary of
the Democratic state committee. 1t will

issues of the state campaign made by the

The circulars are therefore issued from
the headquarters Of the Chicago wheat gam
blers. The Chicago wheat pit which sells
every bushel Of Northwestern wheat be-
fore 1t is put on the !market-which fries
the fat out Of the wheat growers, and en-
dangers both milling and legitimate dealing
is the institution which issues the circu-
lar to blacken Minnesota's leading industry.
With a blackmailer to edit the circular,
the Democratic machine to approve it, and
the Chicago wheat pit to issue it and pay
the freight-the matchmaking circular has
pedigree worthy of its character.

Chicago market less the freight to Chicago

Mr.. Pillsbury explained to the investigat-
Ing that no sbove the
price fixed by the gamblers, If this hcd-
tious price was not permitted to be set up
by the gamblers against the actual value,
wheat would necessarily be interested in
advancing the price of wheat. But Pills
bury testified that each day mo sn,,
in the Chicago market His sales had a
tendency to depress the market. The in
vestigation conclusiyely shows that the
forced sales in the Chicago market causes
price lists to prevent bankruptcy. Mr..
Moore saw this. He had but one remedy to

Now the Chicago Herald and st. Paul
Globe, If they understand the question,
must admit that their efforts are for polit-
remedy. That is not strange to me, for
there are but two REMEDIES. One is the
plan Of Washburn and 'Pillsbury and the
deep water at Duluth. If the Herald AMI
Globe are honest, they must either go with
Washburn and Pillsbury for an anticipation
policy of the Democracy and advocate a
radical system OF internal improvements at
the states expense. That they offer no
remedy is suspicious. One thing is estab-
lished, and that Is the correctness Of Wash
burne and ~Pillsbury
OPPOSING THE GAMBLING
In false futures. Elevator stealing is not
possible when honest competition is active,
and there can never be competition in a
closed market. That the market is closed
by fictitious or false dealing ON the Chica-
go board Of trade is now established. But
l tell you, the game is now up. The inves-
ugating committees minority report was
Mr.. Pillsbury's argument against false op-
ton selling, and the publicity of facts has
sealed the doom of the Chicago board of
trade.
The intelligence of the country will de-
mand prohibition of false option selling, and
then trade In wheat left to open competi-
ton will establish itself ut your Lake Su-
perior ports. Wheat values will cease to
fiuctuate. The price of wheat lands will
er before known will set In around the
sold at Duluth to Europe, and as it will
require about year to distribute the crop
1t will require an increased local bank cap
ital of over $500 900. 600, which steadily en-
ployed in this holding and distributing of
the wheat crop will render finances Of the
Northwest Independent Of New York or Lon
don, and commercial and fiscal freedom be
first established In purely agricultural re-
gion. Much good will come from this agi-
tation, but it will result only from demon
strating the sOundness of Washburn's and
Pillsbury'S views and efforts for the eman-
cipatiOn Of our markets.

THE RECORD STANDS.
Showing What the Republican
Party Has Done for the Farmer.

Showing What the Republican
Party Has Done for the Farmer.
The despicable attempt to connect the
operations Of the local elevators with the
Republican party or the state administra-
ton is absurd. For the local elevators are
not under the Jurisdiction of the state
warehouse commission, which is confined
by law to the terminal elevators at Mime
apolis, Duluth and St Paul.
The people of Minnesota are generally
well Informed of the work of the Republic
an party and its state grain and warehouse
commissioners and there would have been
no particular necessity to reiterate what it
has done to further the interests and better
the condition of the wheat grower but for
the wild and absurd statements made by
the Democratic bucket shop combination
in their effort to destroy the Washburn
anti-option bill. and its author. 1t may be
of more interest now, however, to the
voters Of the state to review the efforts
made by the Republican party through Re
publican legislatures to give the people, es-
pecially the agriculturists, large and in
creased facilities for shipping their grain
to the best markets available.
In 1885 Republican legislature passed

lion At railroad companies" and creating

THE SUPPLY OF CARS
Has Been Attended to by the Repub-
lican State Department.

Nor has the state grain and warehouse
commission neglected to use every effort to
secure for the farmers the best shipping
facilities the railroad companies could fur
nish, and in their report they say in refer
ence to the distribution of cars:
Notwithstanding the enormous crops pro-
duced in this state in 1891, and the conSe-
quent increased demand for shipping facili-
ties, there has been less complaint Of lack
of cars than in any previous year since the
commission was established.
The companies have fairly met the de-
mands made upon them in this respect.
The practical rule laid down by the statute
for distribution of cars, when the demand
exceeds the supply, has been observed. and
the result has been in the main satisfactory
to shippers.
1t has been stated that efforts have been
made by some railroad managers during the
season now closing to regulate the price of
wheat on their respective roads, by cOmpell-
ing buyers to keep at list price" under the
penalty Of being refused cars for shipment
of wheat If such a regulation was not OBJ
served.
No complaint has been made to this COM
mission to this effect, but the statements
have been made in the public press and
have to some extent been circulated as
common ruInOr.
With reference to this the commission has
to say that our statutes as well as the pro-
visions of the common law forbid any such
Any attempt in this direction by railroad
companies would provoke resistance which
would make itself felt at once.
The common carrier must furnish shipping
facilities to all alike without let or him
drance and without discrimination as to per-
sons or places.
The obligation to furnish shipping facili-
ties and the right to demand them does not
depend upon the price paid for the commod-
ity offered for shipment.
The adoption Of such a rule with regard

violation of all laws governing common car
riers, and the commission feels confident
that no railroad company can be found to
support the claim that it had any right to
deny shipping facilities in any way dis
eliminate against q shipper upon the ground
that he had paid above or below the mar
ket price for the product offered for ship
ment.
In July, 1891, the commission issued a cir
cular TO railroad managers upon this SUBJ
ject, and the railroads showed th"ir wiling
ness to accept the suggestions of the COM
missioners by issuing circulars I'm accord
ance with the above.

FRIENDS OF NORTHWESTERN
FARMERS.
When asked why wheat was not bought
here now by England, he replied:
Because the market is not natural as yet.
The market is controlled by dealing in fu-
lures in the city Of Chicago. WIZ strange
rs it may sound, Senator Washburn and his
moral hackers, Mr.. Pillsbury and friends,
are the greatest friends the Northwestern
farmers have upon the earth to-day. The
investigation committee, by evidence taken
before it established the solemn fact that
the practice exists Of selling wheat not in ex-
istence in the market in Chicago by the vast
volume Of one hundredfold in excess of the
actual wheat. A vice which has been per-
United to grow SO powerful that 1t over
This vicious and unrestricted practice has
overpowered the force of demand by false
supply so that the necessities Of the gam
bling trade fixes a price and value. Old
value caused by demand Is pOwerless before
the millions of capital
This gambling in futures has so oyerawed
legitimate trade that an English miller now
has to cover his $4,000 and 100, OOO-bushel
purchases by sales in the Chicago market.
There is no possible price for wheat, save
what the gambler fixes. And gambling has
broken down all old laws of trade. Mr..
Piilsbury and every other buyer 70 OF wheat at
gambling board of trade. What need of
competition by dealers in the presence of
this fact, by the law of supply and demand?
Dealing in false futures must be stopped or
the price of wheat will soon cease to be
governed by value.
SELLS FOR PROTECTION.
What do you think of the attack on Pills
bury BY the Chicago Herald and st. Paul
As I understand the testimony taken be-
fore the investigating committee the COM
bine which Mr.. Moore found to exist was a
combine forced by dealing in false futures
on 6she Chicago board Of trade. If an En-
glish miller who buys wheat from Russia
or India, as well as from sample of mixed
wheat from New York, finds himself obliged
to insure himself by sales I'm the Chicago
market, how do you expect Mr.. Pillsbury
can purchase wheat without insuring him
self by sales In the same market? Pills
bury testified that he was obliged to sell
each day the same amount of wheat he pur-
chased In the Northwest at Chicago to pro-
tect himself against price which next day
might be arbitrarily lowered In Chicago by
gambling. No living man can be bull be-
fore that market. Until that gambling is
destroyed there never will or can be a
value placed on wheat other than gam
bling value. A local combine was adopted
