At tho morning session, papors wero rend on “ Manuring Lands," by E. H. Bonton, ot Loroy, Dodge County; on * How to Elovato tho Farm- or's Calling," by W. J. Jonnings, of Rosondalo ; on * Grapo-Growlng,” by Gon, N. T. Lund, of Madison, The most important paper was by Eli Btilson, of Oshlkosh, Prosidont of the Stato Agrioultural Soclety. 'I'ho subjoct was ' TUE WESTERN PARMERS' MOVEMENT," and it treated of tho fature of the Wostern farmers. Mr, Stilson gave an intereating pic- - turo of the exporiencos of tho farmorain Wis- consin from tho first sottlomont of the Btato to the prosont time. 1Mo alluded to the Inok of railrond facilitios in onrly days, the incroase of froight provious to the war, tho blookado of tho Mississippt and tho consequent rise in_ freights in 1861, o eald the licavy taxation, which was & natural outyrowth of the war, operated against the farmer until 1864, whou bogan tho mont favorable peried in the history of the Western farmor. Monoy was sbundant, prices good, mortgages paid off, farms improved, bulldings aprung up, and the rurmum&:uuornllfl qrouncrml. Theso flush timos continued through 1865, 1866, ond 1867. In 1868 and 186D the prices of farm product gonerally declined, but still orops were good. Al this time railronds wore grasping, combining, consolidating; but tho farmors good-naturedly slumbored, ns tho prices und not fallon bLelow the actunl cost of production, 'I'he years 1871, 1872, aud 1873 were clinractorized by govers draughts, and tho crops woto cut short, - But this was aticnded by no in- croaso of prices, or decronso in the costof trans- portation. It hod become evident to the farmers that tho wenlth of producers is fast finding its way into the pockets of rallrond magnatos. OTIER CAUSES THAN THE NAILROAD MONOTOLIES which have brought about tho movement may bo onuwmorated as follows: General distrust on the part of tho farmers of our rulors on account of thoir reckless equandering of publio lands, tho corruptiun in high places, and tho sollish disro~ gard of the public good. Second—A. genoral fover for spoculation, ox- travagance, and waste, a8 instincsu in the Luld- ing of usgless railrends, followed by o fiunncial panie and the distuibauce of business-cradit, Third—Yarmers, a8 & rulo, don't understand thoir busines:, Thoy have fallen into cortain ruts and greoves, and followed thom blindly, without knowing precisoly whether this or that branch of their work was paying bost, until thoir timo and capital bad boen wasted. L'ho study of tha laws of supply and domand,—whon to buy, and when to sell,—tho paturs of tho soils, and tho rotation of orops, havo all beon sadly nog- locted. Now, while wo scek to sottlo the grent questions of tho rights of producer, cnrrior, and mouufacturer, lot us dig deop and lay the feundation for an improved agriculiura; and, whilo we present an unbrolton frout to unitedly contond tho ills that have hin- dored us, lob Progress bo our motto. The Western farmers should cnll as powoerfuily for the dovelopment of agriculture as for resimtance to the encroachments of railronds and monopo- lists, “Tho FARMERS NEED BETTER EDUCATION, more brain-work, and less overtaxing of the physical nature. This movement will work ono immense benofit in overcoming a great obstaclo to succossful culturo among tho farmors, viz: tho 1golation in which tho farmers live. Con- vontions, I'nrmere’ Oluby, and Grangoes break down tho bnrriots botween the farmors, und unite thom in one common brotherhood. The farmer ehould not ignoro tho hizh duty b owos to his country by abolving himsolf from tho duly of acting independeutly at times of olections., Tho furmors fu tho past have bopu TOUND TOO OLOSELY BY PANTY TIES, and too often ropod in by politicians to contond for somo abstract principle to the neglect of ery- ing wrongs which atare thom in the fuce. Oflicas have beon multiplicd, salarics and fees iuerensed out of all proportion. Speculation, bribors, corruption, aud defaloation’ have become ramn- pant, and wo should fear that the Republio would fall 4s Romo did, by infornal rottonnons, wora it not that, m some iustauces at least, slim justico is moted out to_offondors.

They are publio high- ways, to bo uscd for purposes of travel aud traflie, upon fair and equal terme, by all cltizens svho chioose to uso them. Tholr ownors aro in law held to bo common earrlors, and it is woll sottlod thot thoy are bound to carry all who ap- ply, unloss thoy lLiave s roasonnbls excuso for tho rofusal to do so. And a legal writer of rocognizod ability has recontly maid: “It is concodod, we boliove, upon nll hands, at tho prosent time, that all railways which be- como common cnrriors are bound, by the rules of the common Inw, to carry for all who apply, for roasonabla componsation, and fo make no unreasonable or unjust discrimination among thoso who desiro to employ thein,"—Judge Red- Sleld, in the Anfbrican Law Register for Janu- ary, 1874, But, whilo this is truo, without any doubt, it isyot a fact that thore is groat diffculty In necortaluing what roasonablo componsation is, The manngors of rallvay companies will uni- formly say that their rates are ronsonable and Just ; whilo, porhinps, thelr rates are double at non-competing points, A judicial inquiry as to what are reasonablo rafes would bo controllod by tho evidence offered, and would probably NEVER DE TWIOE ALIRE. 1t I8 vory ovident that the fixing of rates can- uot bo loft to rilway-managers, bocause, although their ratesaro often fair and just, thy AT vory ofton unroasonable and unjust. If'loft without control, they can place tho rato 80 high that tho prodicer will have but little left for Ius labor and eapital expanded. ‘What shall then ba done? 8hall wo may that railway companies are boyond the control of tho people, and Lhat thoir own will and discrotion shiall bo tho mensuro of thoir oxactions upou the traflio and travel of tho country? No, indeed. Wo necd say or think no such “thing. Raitwa compantos are persons,—~artificial porsons,—and, as sucl, sunjecs to the laws of tao land. Bub the ralways havo, so far, .ontrun logisla~ tion.

STATE LEGISLATION OANNOT CONTROL thoso longthened lwes; for, ns Judgo Redfield says, in tho article quoted from above, * Whon tho ‘question comes to bo finally osamined, from a logal point of viow, with referonce to ourcomplox system of government, it will at onco apponr that tho Statos have no power to chartor or to buildand coutrol railways, oxcopt withiu their own hmits, and for {he purposo of doing business within thoState. ‘I'so moment any highway, whother for ordinary travel-or for railway trauspostation, is carried across the lino of o Siate, it ccases, .oven as an_incorporation, to owo any alleginnco to the Btate whero it otlginated,” 1f this bo true, thon State legislation cannot remedy uxiallupi evils, It can only rezulate, wilhin narvow limits, trafiio within'the State; whilo tho articles to be eurriod—lilkewheat, corn, or pork—may bave to bo carried through n dozon Statos, oach one of which nny have differ- ent lawe applicablo to_transportation within its borders, itato logislation 18 subject to great {luctuation,—to changes both wise and vfherwise, But, evor so sound and judicious, it can- not control intor-State traMMc. ‘The State-line ia its boundary, for better or worse, .
