Probably the Aroostook farmers are
not the only ones who lose paying
markets in this way. The best is
none too good where there is competi-

one, and judging from complaints are
doing so, but in most lines of business
this is impossible.

plugs were translated, what lift it
would give to the, depressed horse-

calls attention to an evil that is cruel
to men as well as to beasts:
The law of Congress, permitting
people from distant states to bid in
mail routes anywhere in the county is
wicked. man from any distant state
can bid in mail route in Maine, for
instance; he subjects to some persons
with poor old horses, at low price
the horses are overdriven and some
times almost starved. We have had
numerous cases of this kind and pro-
tected them as far as possible. We
cannot interfere while they are at
tached to the mail wagon. The letting
should be restricted to the counties
in which the mail is carried"
We pity the wretched old horses;
but we confess to more sympathy for

have to struggle through the storms at
starvation wages, and their families.
