ERWIN'S OPINION.

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 c. 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 400, 00O 900 bushels of wheat annually.
The capacity of the Red river valley alone
is 10000, 600, 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 plan tings 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

The Ownership of n Letter.

The Youths Companion publishes an arti-
Gle in which the ownership of letter ana
it's conditions are set forth. The impression
that letter is no longer the property OF the
sender, but belongs to the person to whom
it is addressed, is not correct. The follow
ing in brief are given the conditions OF
ownership:
Under the postal regulations of the United
States and the rulings Of the highest courts
a 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 it, provided he can prove to
the satisfaction Of the postmaster at the Of
flee from which it was sent that he was the
writer of it.
Even after the letter has arrived at the
Office which is it's destination and before 1t
has been delivered to the person to whom 1t
is addressed, it may be recalled by the writer
by telegraph through the mailing office. The
regulations of the postoffice department, Of

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 IL he de-
thorized person.

The accuracy of the letters contained in
it is authenticated by W. Nj. Campbell, ex-

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

l1cun STATE department.
Nor has the state grain and wareh suse
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
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 rumOr.
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
interference in the affairs of our people:
Any attempt in this direction by railroad
companies would provoke aresistance 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 facai-
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
to furnishing cars to shippers is clearly In
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 or In any way dis
eliminate against 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 cir
| cular to railroad managers upon this sub
! ject and the railroads showed their willing
ness to accept the suggestions OF the COM
| missioners by issuing circulars in accord
| ance with the above

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


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
nv 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 1t
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
nnblican legislatures to give the people, es-
necially the agriculturists, large and In
creased facilities for shipping their grain
TO the best markets available
In 1885 Republican legislature passed
general law entitled "Ah act for the regula-
ton Of railroad companies" and creating
