Specimen Railroad Rates.

A Washington correspondent sends
statement of freight charges on a
carload of dried fruit from that state
to Minneapolis, shipped on one road
only-the Great Northern. The earn
ings Of the car on that one trip was
$3.50. The cost of that class Of cars is
s415 each, it is stated, SO that the car
must have paid for itself, in addition
to all possible cost of hauling, in one
trip of about 2, 900 miles. Since there
has been no advance in freight rates
since the merger" controversy arose,
such figures as these would seem to
confirm the contention of the ssmerg.
lists" that the merger was designed to
accomplish some purpose other than
advancing rates, for they, surely,
must have been high enough to salts
~ even railroad greed. To show by
comparison how high the rate quoted
is. the shipment of a carload Of equal
weight from Indiana to Minneapolis
is cited. The last car, with the same
burden, was hauled 100 miles for se2;
the first 1000 miles for $3.50. Com
tnent on this would be too much like
painting the lily.-Farm Stock and

An Exnert "White liar.

The congregation passed out Of the
building, and when they were safely
outside they discovered that the build

Power Of the Trusts.

A striking Illustration of one power
acquired by the formation of trust,
and one brazenly announced in acad-
emic essays on the virtues of such
organizations, is the shutting down of
the refineries of the sugar trust at
Williamsburg, N. Y, throwing out
5000 employees, and thus depriving
dependent families of support. The
closing Of the cooper shops, an Incl
dental sequence, will almost double
the number of the unemployed. The
reason for the closing is the regula-
tion of production. That is, to fol
low out the process, to maintain
prices and secure more profits, to en-
able payment of larger dividends -

OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY,
The Wheat Marker.

At this writing there is an agitation
in the wheat market, that has been
stagnant for several weeks. The May
and July options have been advanced
some five cents bushel, and the pres
entindications are that a still greater
advance will be made. The bulls have
probably got permission from ]. P.
Morgan to take flyer or two in the
market, and they seem to have gone
at it with rush. The situation
shows clearly how completely the
grain market, and the fate of grain
growers, are controlled by speculation.
There, are no natural reasons why
wheat should. be higher now than any
time since harvest. Or il there is a
reason why wheat should be five cents
higher-or. 10, as it may be-now than
when farmers were selling their mil
lions Of bushels, that reason should
have been obtained then as we'll as
now, and farmers would have realized
that much more for their crops.
There is no less wheat in the country
or the world now than then, save the
normal consumption, that everybody
knew was inevitable, and hence could
be counted upon with absolute GER
tainty. Therefore there was as much
reason and as good foundation for
the higher price earlier in the season
as now, and farmers should find no
difficulty in fixing the responsibility
for the less price they got while mark.
citing heavily. And this should be q
fresh and potent incentive to an or

Long we sought the consoling shade;
It's pleasure then so dear to me,
Now alas, is all dismayed.
Sag we then no trouble near,
Gazing on the future bright,
Every thought was full of cheer,
Raised and cherished with delight.
Fondly did our happy heart
Raise the hope that nee'r shall die,
Every thought was free to start.
Every word kind reply.
