RESULT OF FREIGHT DISCRIMINATION

RESULT OF FREIGHT DISCRIMINATION
An eastern exchange says: 'The tide
of emigration has actually turned from
west to east" This may not all be true,
but it certainly contains too much truth.
The writer refers particularly to the en-
igration of farmers. When the condi-
tons are such that a western farmer can
leave his quarter section of new, rich
land, and return to the east to cultivate
few acres of impoverished soil, it is
needless to say that there is something
wrong. 1t is demonstrated that there
are as many failures Of crops east as
there are in the west, SO it can not be
that. The protection TO life aud
property is even better in the par
TALLY settled west than in the east,
which is now overrun By tTamps, thugs
and anarchists of every nationality. Sta
tistics show the mortality of eastern
states TO be above the average of the
west. The further, and more pertinent
fact that this condition never existed be-
fore is, of itself, proof that it is alb
normal. If the tide of emigration has
been westward for a century. without
even brief interruption, it is safe TO
assume that the reverse Of it is unnatural.
Ii Is turning the current up stream,
which can only be done by artificial
forces.
There is but one business, reason
for 1t, and every farmer knows
what 1t Is. 1t Is simply the item OF
freights. 1t is the tariff which compels
the Kansas and Nebraska farmer TO paw
twice as much per bUshel per mile as the
rate given 10 the Illinois farmer. While
prices OF grain are high, even this can
be overcome by the increased product.
but when wheat drops from 81 to 33
cents per bushel, with no change in
freight rates, il greatly alters the situa-
ton. These charges beiLg arbitrary,
fixed and maintained by those whose
interest it is 70 build UP the east
at the expense OF the west. aud the
matter of remaining In the west
as mere tsme servers and.under-paid en-
ployes for a few whose vast fortunes are
Invested in railroad stocks, fully explains
why the tide of emigration Is turning
eastward This view OF the case j.
whistled down and tsbooed rs pessimis-
tic, but it is truth so palpable that it
cannot be denied: and 1t is a question
now whether this polScy has not already
strangled the goose which lays
the golden egg, Il Is 4
safe prediction. that il this
policy Is to be pursued, that this

vidual farmer to arrange for place to

BLASTING GELATINE,

From the Fortnightly Review,
BY far the most important as well as
the latest form of dynamites or solidi-
fed nitro-glycerine are those desig-
mated not too happily as blasting
gelatines.' Many persons imagine,
quite naturally, that these consist of
some form of gelatine, isinglass, or
glue. converted by chemical means
into powerful explosive. But "blast-
ing gelatine" contains no particle
whatever of gelatine, properly so
called, the term being applied to
mixture of nitro-glycerine and nitro
cellulose- 1t is prepared at Ardeer, in
Ayrshire, n. B., by heating nitro
glycerine in '''iacketed" pans to be-
tween 40 degrees and 60 degrees
