feel greater satisfaction with this reduc-
ton II | thought the farmers would get
all the benefit. But, frankly. I believe
they Will get but little OF the $4,000 we
lose.
1T will be absorbed by the commission
men and speculators While believe this
will be true ! still think the conferences
with the farmers direct will be productive
OF good because Of the greater acquaint-
ancc that came out Of them and the fact
that all must recognize that the railroads
tried 90 meet the popular demand. III the
farmers do not get the benefit they must

each declining to have anything to do
with the scheme.
The story Is untrue as II stands" said
Ban yesterday. II have known of this
plan for some time. / know that they
have approached our magnates, but have
failed TO secure anything to go on. We
had plenty Of chance last year to unite
with either OF the factions, II the Ameri-
can league had wanted TO, but we saw
that there was nothing to be gaiSed by
uniting with such an organisation as the
National league was at that time, or as II
is at the present time. We have moth
ing TO gain by consolidation. and II the
National league men have any idea that
such a deal could be consummated. you
may be sure that they would not have
sprung the story at this time. II they
expected to be successful you may be
sure they would have kept II under cover
