How tho Farmers We're Hunoosa.

Anent the high flown sentiments ex-
pressed by Roswell P. Flower concern
ing the farmers, their large crops, the
accumulation of money, and the pro-
liability of spending such money freely,
what. are the facts as we in the wild
and woody west know them?
Did the farmers of the west have a
large crop? Reports are adverse to
such supposition; when the farmers
of this state are begging at the doors
of their state legislature for grain-and
are reporting that the seed of the pre-
vious year was not returned, and they
are now under heavy obligations to
machine men and store keepers, who
hold mortgages on their farms. Does
this look like prosperous times.
Another point. In the republican
jubilation, when the suppressed ami
mosities of the leaders of the repnbli-
can party must give vent, or explode,
one of the fantasies of the parade was
a neatly designed elevator, lined with
this inscription. Handled SO, 900, 600
Bushels of GRANT" Certainly credit
able showing for the port of Duluth.
Minneapolis has always boosted that
she gets the cream of the wheat trade
to supply her mills and requires 50,-
o00, 900 bushels of grain for her home
trade and for export; there are also
some elevators in the Sanity City.

Why They are Silent.

If the resolution to orfiscate the
Carnegie armor plate plant had been
introduced by one of the senators from
the wild and woody west our eastern
friends would have thrown a great
many spasms of virtuous Indignation.
They would have wept and walled and
smashed their teeth at the growing de-
generacy of the Trans-Missouri coun-
try tore their hair over the threatened
dissolution of the republic and shed
bitter tears over the departed glories
of what was once proud and Justice
loving nation. But, as the matter
ands, our eastern friends are saying
very little about it except in calm
and argumentative sort of way. They
have laid their choice assortment of
adjectives coined for use against the
west, and are proving by copious legal
citations and legal presidents that the
resolution is incompetent, irrelevant
and immaterial, unconstitutional and
not calculated to strengthen the ma
ton.
This attitude is largely due to the
fact that the resolution looking to con-
fiscation was drafted and presented to
the senate by a senator from the rock
ribbed state of New Hampshire-N Kew
Hampshire, the staid and reliable up
holder of national honor and integ-
rity;" New Hampshire, ''the center
and core and axis of all that is honest
and pure" and opposed to anything
that looks like Reputation" Coming
from the senator representing such q
state the resolution demands the care
full consideration of thoughtful people.
Had 1t been drafted and presented by
senator from western sGate it would
have deserved the condemnation of
honest and thoughtful men. We CON
fess we are surprised that the puritan
ical and answering enemy of con-
fiscation-should have raised up man
to do such a thing.-Omaha World
Herald.

grain thus stored and used in Min
nesota in her large cities, besides the
cities and towns having mills that
turn out from /, 500 to 5000 barrels of
of -four per day, will run MP the grain
receipts to about 10000, 600 bushels of
wheat
At the commencement of the politi-
cal campaign, some one suggested that
Mark Hanna invest some of the cam
paign fund in securing a corner on
wheat, and thus demonstrate his and
the publican's love for the farmers
but at that time, and not until near the
close of the campaign did any direct
information leak out that Russia had
any signs of a shortage in her grain
crops. Occasional rumors had come to
the west that India was short in her
crops; this was known at the time in
the east-but the only sign given was
succession of orders for grain from
the east. At the commencement of the
harvest the price of wheat in the coun-
try was "a cents per bushel, and as the
orders for grain was explicit and came
in sharply that all grain should be
shipped as early as possible. and
a string of the largest steamers on the
lakes, carrying their 10000 bushels,
more or less, were engaged to export
grain as fast as it came in. The ship
ment of grain was enormous. Duluth
has mover seen such times; crews work
ing night and Say, and money turned
over SO rapidly that fortune smiled on
the grain men.
But how about the farmer? Did he
| reap any benefit from the increasing
values? Did his dollar appropriate in
value? He had sold at 81 cents to
meet obligations that were crowding
him to the wall; and wheat was boom
ing into the head of the lakes at this
figure until election; when almost the
entire grain crop was in storage. Then
prices began to climb; SO cents was
reached; then 60 cents; then Is cents;
and finally So cents;-just double what
the farmer was paid for his grain at
his country elevator.
What are the results of these fig
ures? At middle figure, 20 cents per
bushel, the farmer of Minnesota have
! been robbed out of twelve millions of
| dollars-the result of combin a ion OF
circumstances that has initiated
| against the farmers, whom the repub-
licau party loves so well.
The loss to the farmers of the north
west has been sum that it is almost
impossible to calculate. If Minnesota
has thus suffered, North and South
Dakota have also suffered by such
| greedy extortiou.
Suppose we base the growth at a
medium figure of $1,000, 900 bushels OF
wheat in these states-this sold at 80
cents per bushel more than the farmer
! was paid for it at the country station
where he shipped the wheat. Then
the grain growers of the Northwest
were lovingly skunked out of twenty
one millions of dollars, by the pater-
nal kindness of the men who crowded
them to vote for recommendation and
honest noney-and by the party of
| progress who so love the farmer and
watch over his interests. This party
promised the farmer protection" and
yet robbed him open handed--The
Representative.

Beaten in the United States supreme
court in the Trans-Missouri case,
which is referred to in the news-col-
umns of this issue, the railroads
threaten to carry their demand for the
privilege of pooling to congress and
seek through legislative enactment
authority to do what the law explicitly
denies them the right to do. All pre-
tense at competition between railroads
is cast off. and the railroads by their
action admit that they are unable to do
what private individuals are compelled
to cooperate their business on the
basis of free competition and free con-
tract. A law to permit pooling by the
railroads is equivalent to legalizing
extortion by compelling the people to
pay tribute in the way of interest on
bilious of watered stock and fraudulent
bonds. 1t is equivalent to the govern
ment assuming the task of making
good all the rascalities and thieving
which have been practiced on the rail-
roads by designing scounirels for the
last score of years. If the railroads
can't run on true business principles,
under private ownership, let the gov
eminent take them over and run them
in the interest of all the people
