yesterday his view on Futures" He OPP
posed the bill under cons liberation, of

futures was just piece of machine for

superior TO the old methods of doing the
same as railroads are ahead of wagons or
elevators of half bushel measures Fifty
years ago, he said the radius of markets
was much smaller. Farmers in district
where the crop was abundant took low
prices for their product. while their neigh
bors, within two hundred miles, in a
district of poor harvest, received much
higher prices.

Today the market was the world Merely

altered condition, for it resulted that the

seizing those opportunities that now AID

No Reflections Allowed.

remark by Nieland that the bill permitted
the farmer to sell without limit. Hatch

these IS counties by the local assessors, but the
railroads did not get any benefit because the
local taxes are based upon the valuation fixed
of the state had to pay $50 934 in taxes in excess
of what they would have paid had the local
assessors did their duty in the 30 counties
mentioned above"
Just what this really means, it would
take Philadelphia lawyer, or a free
silver Harrison republican to tell. At
first sight it intImates that the local
assessor fixes the valuation of railroad
property which of course Is not 80. But
very evidently they lnteod to intimate
that the poor down-trodden corpora
tons have been filched unjustly of $50
934. Now if the valuation of the eoun-
ties was raised $9,730,00, and others
lowered $9729 600, it is very hard TO see
how the ratio of valuation of other
property to that of the railroads was
altered in such a way as to do the roads
injustice, for the reduction was more
than counterbalanced by the raise.
