SLIPPING AWAY.
Our Trade is Giving Us
the CODY.
The Cheap Freight Rates on Steam
boats Deprtves This City of Thous-
ands of Dollgrs That Should
be Left Here,

Cheapfreight rates pleasethe farmer,
but they are not a blessing for the
business men in the small cities and
towns. They divert the trade from the
little towns to the big cities. Farmers
take their produce to the large cities
because the freight on it is cheap. A
wheat entities the shipper to a free
pass with his shipment. and while he
gets but little more for his produce in
the large city than he can get at home
he likes to take a ride. He loses three
or four days making the trip. He
spends money for this and for that
things he has no use for, and then
returns home with less money than he
would have had mad he sold his pro-
duct at his home market.
This is all wrong. 1t is not home
protection. 1t does not help build up
the cities and towns that are depend
ant upon the surrounding country.
Every dollar that the farmer gets rid
of in St. Louis is gone from him and
his heirs forever. If he sells his pro-
duct at home the money remains at
home. 1t helps to enrich the com
munity and from it he derives a bene-
fit.
There are now two steamboats, COM
peting for the business along the river
from Commerce to ST. Louis. They
are waging war for freight, and they
have reduced freight rates lower than
was ever known before. They have
agents out in the country working for
business, and these agents r offering
the farmers inducements that will lead
them off, and as a consequence we will
lose their trade.
Scott county is one of the best wheat
counties in Southeast Missouri. For
twenty-five years Cape Girardeau mill
ers have handled the bulk of the wheat
from the best portion of that county,
but unless something is done and that
soon. all hat wheat will be carried by
us and taken to St. Louis. This
not only the loss of the manu-
facturer's profit on the wheat, but it
means thousands of dollars in trade
that our merchants would get from the
farmers of that county.

The Wheat Crop Good.

L. NJ. Bean writes us from Gordon
vile, as follows:
Wheat harvest began last Satur-
day with us. l have heard so much
about bad wheat this year that l de-
sire to say a few words myself. 1
have seer more wheat fields in the last
twenty days than any other man in
the county. South of the Cape and
Marble Hill gravel road the farmers
will market within ten per cent of the
amount they marketed last year, and
fully as good quality. In the north
west part of the county the wheat is
not so good but a fair crop will be
harvested"

Isaac A. Smith, the man who was here
some months ago in the employ of the
Water Works Company as engineer.
He was arrested by authority of Uncle
Sam for .feloniously taking a letter
from the mails and abstracting there
from a check for thirty dollars that
did not belong to him. Smith is we'll
known to many of u people. He
worked the Sunday School teacher

beating several men out of goods,
