this county ought to be interested in
this convention. Continual agita-

the railroads to realization Of the
wrongs they are inhicting on the
producers of the west. 1t is simply
a question of whether we will mutely
submit to tax Of four or FIVE cents
a bushel on our grain in order that
eastern railroads may increase their
revenues to that extent. 1t is a

der tones on this outrage.
