''more profitable to buy than to build"
This was to the farmer who proposed
to compete. But from Paris bank
came another letter, also asking how the
elevator business was. To the Paris
banker Mr.. Pillsbury wrote gushing
letter, in which he showed the immense
profits of the elevator business.
He told the farmer it would be cheaper
to buy than TO build; but he told the
Paris banker that NJ. q n. stock would
probably sell at so per cent premium!
1t is upon these two letters that Mr..
Pillsbury will be investigated by the
Chicago board of trade. Why does not
he or the defenders of the wheat ring
answer these letters? Did the Chicago
board of trade write them? Can these
letters be saddled upon "a conspiracy
of the Chicago gamblers?"
The whole answer of the Republican
press has been the cry that WOlcott was
a blackmailer. Does that answer these
letters?
Fac SiImiles of these two letters
are given herewith. but the Or

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-The Post this aft

alleged scheme of the Republican ma

England to work" the English people
in the interest of the Republican party
during the remainder Of the national

plan was devised at conference of
prominent Republicans of this city and
approved by the Republican national
committee; but the emissary selected, a
reporter for the Inter Ocean whose arti-
cles over the signature of "Pat Grant,
railroad laborer, ,"have attracted national
attention, was not thought by the ma
tional committee to be man of suffi-

formerly private secretary to James u.

This, the Post SayS,So incenSed Grant
that he fastened to the Democratic
leaders of this city and divu!ged the
plot. He intimated that he had in his
possession a letter from President Har
rison approving the plot. He offered
to verify his statements by document
airy proofs for consideration of S25, 900.
This amount was considered by the
Democrats to be altogether too high,
and Grant, the Post alleges, has avowed
his intention to go personally to Mr..
Cleveland, and deal with him, if the
campaign committee declines to ''do
business with him."

"Set 1t at Rest Either by Estab-
fishing or Disproving It."
Nor can one read the following edi-
torial from the Pioneer Press without
being convinced of the fact that the
Minnesota farmer has been fleeced in
all directions. 1t is needless to say this
editorial was written before the famous
investigation:
"The assertion has been made with
pertinacious repetition that the farmers
of the Northwest have been and are be-
ing deprived of a portion of their right
full profits; that combinations exist by
which the price of wheat at the elevator
nearest the farm is far less than the
price of it in the principal markets of
the world less the cost of transportation
from the field to the point OF final sale.
This charge has been made and reIter-
ated by many men of different opinions
concerning the farmer and his interests.
Not all of them have agreed by any
means upon the spot where the
leakage occurs. Some think that the
guilt lies with local elevator men, who
combine to depresS prices, buying on
low range and selling at a handsome
profit as soon as the grain is within
their reach. Still more believe that the
Shrinkage is due to tie eXtortionate
charges by the railroads. and from this
have arisen repeated demands for re-
ductions in freight rates. To this day
it would be found impossible to per-
suade large numbers of people, even if
they were shown Northwestern sched-
ules OF freight rates on grain, set side
by side with the rates prevailing
in other parts of the country,
that the farmer is not the help
less victim of railroad monopo-
lies, who consume what ought to be the
proceeds Of his labor in unjust and un-
reasonable charges for carriage. 9th
ers, again, find the difficulty in the ele-
vators at terminal points and primary
markets. where, as they assert, grain is
so manipulated and prices are SO ar
ranged that the bulk of the profit goes
into the hands of great corporations.
And, finally, still another class of peo-
pie see inthe existence of speculation
in food products the cause of the shrink
age in prices between the farm and the
market, and execrate tile ''bear" Inter-

THOSE DAMNING LETTERS.

With the early publication of the

came an intimation from Chicago that

Charles A. Pillsbury was member, in

As soon as this reached Mr.. Pillsbury's
ears he rushed to his typewriter and

Chicago board of trade requesting an
investigation. Thomas A. Wright. the
secretary, writes reply to this letter,
which pointedly directs Mr.. Pillsbury's

The Republican Party Re-

Robbery.

Cowardly or corrupt apologists for the
infamies of the Minneapolis wheat COM
bine have staked their defense on ly-
ing charge that the board of trade in
Chicago is responsible for the attack
made upon them. They have smoth-
cred their victims in stories of that kind,
and frantlcally urged voters to instruct
all congressman to support the anti
option bill of Senator Washburn, one of
the chief beneficiaries of the cruel COM
bine.
They may lie as much as they like.
The Chicago board of trade did not get
them into trouble, and did not publish
the charges against Washburn, Pills
bury, Amsden and the rest of that sane
timonious ring. The offenSes of the
millers and elevator and railroad men
are rank and smell to heaven. In a way
they have been known for years, but
the Pilisbury influence has been too
strong to be overcome.
Laws have been laughed at, commit
tees have been corrupted, threats of
vengeance have been fulfilled, and
never till now have the thousand
threads of evidence against them been
gathered Up. Never till now has
courageous and powerful effort been
made to unmask the villainy of the
combine.
But from this time on the gang of
strangers up there in Minnesota may
be sure they will have no rest till they
are overthrown and the farmers secure
substantial justice.
Don't rely on the board of trade de-
fense. 1t is hollow. 1t is a rascaFs

district attorney, appeared before Police
Justice Keller here today and submitted
an affidavit, in which he demanded a
warrant for the arrest OF Hon. William
Purcell, editor of the Union and Adver-

On last Saturday the Union and Adver-
tiser published an editorial, in which
charges against Mr.. Forsythe were
stated. The charges were, first, of un-
professional conduct as attorney for
notorious abortionist, and, second, of
fraud upon client.
The editorial further said that these
charges are based upon evidence that
fully warrants their presentation in this
canvass as conclusive reasons why
George d. Forsythe should not be
elected to the office of district attorney.
Mr.. Purcell is well known as political
editor all over the United StBtes. The
