Washington, March THE hearings
on the anti-option bill were continued be-

to-day. A c. Raymond, of the Detroit
Board of Trade, was opposed to
this measure, but would not object to

He had been in the grain business before

WORTH MILLIONS TO THE FARMERS.
Farmers had received millions of dol

with the reductions in transportation
rates Improved TRANSFORMATION develOped
more economical business methods, and

which business could be done in more

was crippled we would have to so tack TO
wide margins 10 protect the producer and
bgyer. This would prove detrimental to
fine interest of the farmer. He spoke of
the part SPECTATORS took in keeping up

Number would tend to lower the prices of

THE SYSTEM A NECESSITY.
d. 3. Smith, of Toledo, was against the
bill. as he believed it would strike a
damaging blow to a great trading sys-
ten, inspired by and rendered necessary
by Jhe matchless expansion of our great
country and growth of our products.
Ex-Representative Taylor, of Chicago
said that the committee were actuated by
thehighest motives in wishing to pass the
pending bill-they wanted TO benefit the
farmer He had considered it carefully
but did not see how the farmer would be
benefited by it. Grain would so through
the same hands, business would be done
in the same way, and the farmer would
have TO pay the extra taxes.
