from the New England Farmer, on "Tax

called, is not wanted by the people, and
is only pushed by COMMITTEES OF the
Grange, uslng the stale argument that
the weight of taxation would lie thrown
on the honest aud truthful man, II the
listing bill should become = Law.
In circulating . petition requesting
our Legislators 10 enact such q Law
among the farmers aud business men of
this place, only two out of one hundred
refused TO Sign, and one of those Was In
favor of such a Law, but had no conn

formed the Chicago and st. Paul lines
that they would not allow the latter
to put in via Chicago the same rates
as the SUo line is making to the At
lantic sea board, they put rider on
their refusal in the shape of permis-
sion to the western lines to make the
rates by way of Chicago and Montreal.
This would compel the western lines
to bring the business from Minneap-
oils and st. Paul and Chicago and to
carry it east to Montreal, trip II
hours longer than over the 500 line.
The western roads will have some
chance for the business if they were
allowed to put in rate less than the
500 of So, but as now the western lines
will be compelled to see the business
go by way of the 500 line. They will
not attempt 10 meet the rate via Moh-
treal and would get none OF the busi-
ness if they did.

COTTON SEED TRUST.
Mississippi Appears to Be in the Grip of

Mississippi Appears to Be in the Grip oi
the Monster.
RAYMOND, Miss, Oct. 16,-There is
great aud growing discomfort through
out the whole cotton producing re-
gion over the arbitrary and unreason-
able manipulations of the cotton oil
trust which dictates the price OF cot
sonseed. At the beginning Of the
present season 50 per ton was the
ruling price at this point. Then there
was a consultation among the repre-
sentatives of several agents here, one
which had been looked upon as inde-
pendent and the other at Baton Rouge,
the result being that the price was
dropped to $8. Within a week there
was another drop to 81, which price
rules today, although it is understood
that the agents of several mills have
met and agree to further reduction
of 81. In view of these facts peti~
tion is now being circulated looking to
the punishment of those engaged in
bearing down the value OF seed. The
admission of agents furnish grounds
for prosecution.
