The argument for stay OF judgment in

means that he shall have his liberty dur

the purpose of determining levy
adequate for city needs, upon the valua-
ton Of Assessor Carpenter as modified by
the county board of equalization on city

rations to revise them under certain cir
cumstances. Whether the people are plum
aereo or not depends not upon the laws of
the country, but upon the good or bad will
OF the elevator combines
For years the farmers have been vainly
struggling to get a law to enable them as
class to ship grain on an equal footing
with the elevator men as a class, only to
be beaten at every turn.
so far for years the various party con-
ventions have struggled with this question
In vain, and yet there is not a we'll posted
lawyer in the state that does not know that
1t is the common law duty of railroad cor
poratlons themselves to own and operate
every one of these grain elevators for the
receiving, handling and shipping of all
grain in suitable condition to be shipped
Gov. Nelson as lawyer, must know this
to be true; and yet he evades the real is
sue by quoting the figures of the railroad
commission of 1884 to show that the farm
er has not been plundered the last year or
two, and that his true remedy is ''diversi-
fled farming"
The Prohibition party struck the key
note of the true remedy when it resolved
that:
I'VE insist that in this state the railroads
should be required by statute to resume
their common law duties as common car
riers, especially to provide warehouses and
elevators for the handling of all kinds of
grain and produce for all persons, upon
equal terms and without discrimination,
and thus open to all people free market
for grain and produce"
This is the remedy and the only true rem
edy for all time and under all circum-
stances. Every proposed remedy is class
remedy-class legslation-which for so
many years has cursed the country, and
has at last brought it to the verge of de-
struction.

WHEAT MARKETS.
Gov. Nelson's Speech at Argyle on the
Subject.

TO W,
Subject.
CTrom the WaSeca Herald)
Many many years ago, in the larger por-
ton of this state, the railroad companies
abandoned entirely their common law duty
of furnishing warehouse facilities for the
receiving, handling and shipping of grain.
Every railroad corporation farmed out to
certain grain syndicates the entire control
of the grain markets ever since. 1t is true
that in counties like Waseca, where there
are enough mills to take and grind all the
wheat produced (and more, too) the want
of shipping facilities is not much felt; but
in large portions of the state, dependent
upon distant markets for the sale of wheat.
farmers and others are at the mercy of the
elevator men who have entire control of
shipping facilities and, as a consequence,
of prices.
This was VIGOROUSLY so for many years,
and only a little over two years ago, even
the Pioneer Press admitted that the wheat
spectators had, for years, been robbng
the farmers of at least 10 cents a bushel
on all their wheat.
OF course, for the past two years. owing
to the decentralization of silver and the
suting financial depression throughout the
world, wheat could not stand Decent
per-bushel steal, without killing the goose
that lays the golden egg
In addition to that, the late legislature
made it the duty of the railroad commits
sion to investigate the markets and report;
and these causes have stopped the plumber
ing which Mr.. Nelson intmates never eX-
listed, but which was at the time proven
beyond controversy.
But the temporary stoppage of the plum
dering of the wheat producer by these
means is not permanent remedy. Like
causes viii produce like effects.
The elevator companies, being the owners
of all the facilities for receiving and hand
ling grain, can do and fix their own prices,
