MoxzE, Will Co,, JIl,, March 81, 1873, To the Editor of The Chicago Trihune : 81z : In an article signed ¢ Middloman," dated Grand Prairio, Iil., March 8, 1878, and publishod in your woekly edition of March 19, it scems to ‘mo that the writoris of the opinion that tho farm- ora aro opposed to middlomen, and aro, thoro- foro, trying to do away with thom through thelr farmors' olubs, or fu somo other way. Thisisa great mistako. Wo are not opposed to middle- mon, but wo aro opposed to tho enormous, piti- loss profita thoy are taking from us,bocause thoy all seom to rooson just ns ho doos ; that is, that it is Impoesible, through the machinations of monapolists, for the individual farmer or con- sumer to got tho articlo needed ; or, if hoisal- lowed to buyor order it of tho manufacturer, thero would bo so much expense connested with ‘it that tho consumor so ordoring or buying wonld bo glad to get his needs supplied by the middlemen tho noxt time. We want the manu- facturers and middlemen to do just as wo did in tho years from 1860 to 1866, when they hold conventions and raiscd thoir prices, whon labor and food were high. We wore silent, and did not make any demonstration against their just do-~ mands, Wo did not complain, but took both sides of the quostion into consldoration. Weo gaid, Wo aro_doing well e also want thom to do wall ut, for tho last four or fivo yenrs, things have chianged, aud wo find thaé tloy are not going- to listen to our com- laints. ~We are forced to do what thoy former- Py did; that is, to hold conventions, and agreo cu:1 some uniform plan to lawfully help our- selvea. Allow mo to state a fact which will more plain- 1y illustrato tho \mznnt oxtortiona of theso mo- nopolists: Bome timo Inst winter, the reapor manufacturers held o convention. Tho result was, thot thoy raised the prico of self-raking renpors, which horetofore sold at $185 on thno‘ to "£200 on time; but, whon this farmors’ movement commoncod, they smelt the rat, and they reduced the price again to 2180 on timoj that is, 86 lower than tho old {nfice. Docs this not show plainly that the 818 they raised their reapors above tho old price was an unjust oxtor- tlon? Furthermore, i8 it not outrageous that tho manufacturers got together and concoct n plan by which they allow their agents to charge us from 25 to 60 por cont—yes €0, if not oven more—for solling us thoir {mploments? Forin- stance: We are living thirty-four miles from Chicago. 'Wo have boen in the habit of hufi'ing Bo-and-s0's implements. ‘Thoy eell their walking and riding oultivators to their agents at £88: but their agents ocharge us for the samo 45, and thoy do nob cost quits o dollor of freight from Chieago hero. ~Why must they liave this largo profit 7 Could Messrs. Bo-nnd-s0 S\vhu have alroady made fortunes out of the- armors of tho Northwest) afford to sell thoso cultivators at their shop ot, eay, §85 cash, would tho ©2 extra mot componsate thom for dealing with tho farmer? DBut, instoad of doing this, thoy also chiarge the farmer 845 at thewr shop. Now, I ask thess men, Do you not force us into solf-defense? Do you suppose any oarthly Dboing could * stand by silontly and soo such outrages,—you, for many .yoars,” amassing riohes upon riches, milliona upon millions, and wo barely able to pay our ontics, lot alone having dogont clothing and living, and educating our children? Is it just and right that you should sneer at us, and’ try to ppposo our just movement? Are you golng to provoke us into lawlossness? Do’ you s poso nnz loving fathor or mothor can remain (uict when thoy sco that you aro glving your children good educations, while onrs must work on the farm and livo in ignosanco ; and theroby your children are given a chanco to rule over our ohildron ? ‘We, ns farmors, know vory woll that theso un- Jjust and large profite taken by middlemon will finally regulato themsclves, butnot until there is such an ovorflow of middlomen s to croate o natural compotition; but thon we &ro 080 to holp to lot supply and domand rogulato tho prico of fabres, aswe are willing that they should rogulate tho Srlca of farm-productions, Wo colaim that middlomen must try to deal on o liv- ing profit, or oherwiee it will bo our duty to oall nnew clnes of middlemen into existonco, who are willing to worlk rossonably, “Middleman” states that, in modorn times the consumer and producer livo 8o far apart that thu{' do not know cach othor. This is truo toa cortain dogree, as a good many of us have gath- ored the uxpnflnnco, evon near at home, that tho manufacturer doclined to deal with tho farmer directly ; but, if it has come to it, and both the manufacturor and tho middloman refuse to lig- ton to reason, wo will try to ignore thom, and do without their imploments for a season, and wait until thotr supply has increased to such dimon- Bions that tb{ Wil feol the necossity of getting rid of somo of their stock. 5 It {s not tho middleman that snnoys us go much as the monopolies created by tho manufacturers, corporations, and labor as- soolations, nnunoturers {lx thoir own pricos in their conventions. Who is the sufferer thoro from? Tho farmors, Railroad corporation agreo among thomsolves on froight tariffs and uusnnfir faro ratos. Who is the sufferor? gain tho farmor, Laborers meet and ngree to work but a cortain numberof hours a day? Who is the sufforer, Again tho farmer. I will also say to ‘‘Middleman® that, if thero should be too much expenss connootoed with got~ ting one sn&r of boots, wo will order a dozen pair, or a dozon onses of boots, A Fanuen, S SO Governmont Stock Stampeded by Xne TS n Oxuana, April 6,—On TFridsy morning Iast a arty of ten or fiftcen Indians stampeded the overnmont stoolk, whilo thoy woro grazing on anisland in the Platto River, near Fort sfllo- Phorsgon, Nob, Pursult was made, and tho stook racoverod, Two detachments of soldiors wore in pursuit of the Indians at last report, and & com- ;mufv has boon sont to the Bioux camp on the Ho- {mb loan, to discover if the Indisns wore from ot oamp, —_— Infanticide, Donoqur, Town, April 6,—Wililam Riloy and Julia Bpauvgor, who Layo beon living on m'zu of fmpropor intimaoy for semo timo past, were arl roatod Iast night at Nashua, Tows, charged with murdering thoir infant, a child of 6 months, by drowning {n Codar River, at Codar Falls, Iowa, whoro the body was. found on Saturdsy aftor- noon, thoy having bean soon abont tho placo Into mldnfl aftornoon with tho ohild.

But being subject to a morvous prostration, which nsmxll‘yr provented him from slooping, he feared to retire without taking somo narcotio.

This was rather noticoable, and her broth- or-in-law romonstratod with ber ; also, n dsughtor asked hor unolo to stop Workman's visits, ~ Mr, J. Barton called on the_rovorond gontloman and sald it must bo stopped. Then Lo resorted to lottor writing, copics of which wo could not get from tho Coron or. Tho lottors that passed betwoon tho partios go to show that ho was uu\m&py in his marriago rolations, and_woro writton in a regular school- boy style, nnd those writton by the decensed ‘wore of an encouraging charaoter, telling him to ‘benr up under his misfortunes and make the best o . The rumor that tho decensed was encionto is without foundation, Those lottors falling into the hands of Mrs. ‘Workman doubtless aroused Ler anger to such s piteh ag to drive hor to commit the foul doed. On the Friday before tho murder was committed Mrs. W. called at tho rosidonco of Mrs, H, and romained sovoral hours, but did not want to bo scen by any of the family, and when the childron came homo from school, to provent boing seon, Mre.

From this cause and tho superior strength of the murderod woman, many supposo she Lad assistanco; that is doubt- ful, " Pino splinters_taken from the wound on tho hond of Mrs, Hodgoes and her throat cut with o sharp instrument shows to our mind that Mrs, Workman struck first with a pine plank, then o scuflle ensued, when tho ecroams wero board by soveral parties, and finally the razor did its work, and the dood was dono, On roturning home from church Mr, Hull, the Prosiding Elder, said; ¢ Siator Workmnan, you did not como to church to-night."” ' Blio ropliod : ““ No, I started but got & fall, and a dear ono to meit was.

Mr. Hull, supposing that she nd roforonce to her wickedness, and had de- cidod to join the church, prayed for hor loudand long, for up to this timo ske” bad nover shown auy foapeot for tho church, and they thought probably now she would becomo converted. The Coroner's jury returned the following ver- ict ; “YWo bolieve that Mrs, Hodgos camo to her, denelf'by violenco at the hands of Mary Work- ‘man. This, we think, is slmost the universal opin- fon, and wo also think the universal verdiot would bo, wera it possiblo, Workman is to blame for the wholo of it. UTAH.
