The issue that rurt cre long absorb all ctner great questions upon which he country will divide, is the trans- sor‘ation question and the right. of the people to protect thomselves againet extortion and oppression by railway monopolies. THE Bre has b en denounced by the orgaus of the corperations as & monomaniac on the monopoly question, but, we sre grati- fied to note that this monomania is spreading all over the United States. Tha extract from the procoedings of tae Northwestern Farmers' Board of I'rade which we print in another col- amn shows that this great issue has awakened populsr sttention smong the producers of the northwest, and aroused them to the necessity of pro- tecting their interests by legislation. In the commercial metropolis cf America the business men are joining the western farmers in the revolt against monopoly sggression. Onaof the sbles: articles on this eubject has just been published in the December number of Seribuer's Monthly. This article was written by Mr. F. B. Tharber, of the firm of H. K. and F. B. Thurber, one of the heaviest whole: sale grocery houses of New York City. The following extract from the article, which we propose to publish in full in & few days, bears especially on the banefulinfluence of corporaté monopa- lies npon our eystem of government «nd the imminent danger that threat- eus this republic st no distent day if this pigantic power is allowed to go unchecked : “It is an open seoret,” says Mr. Thurber, “that the railroads furnisha. large share of the money required to perate the machinery of our elections wnd in all distriots whero politieal parties are closely matched, their money, on the side of their interests, enerally carries the day.

The picture he draws of the venal politicians who force them- selves into high places, and the rotten apples that swim upon the political cosspool, applies with a good desl of force to the Valentines, Carnses, Church Howes, Baldwins, Frank Walters', Hitchcocks and that class of political lenders on the republican side, and the Mortons and Millers on the democratic side.

The committee appointed to make up a report to the legislature, or rath- er to decide upon the recommenda- tions to be made, was allowed further time to attend to this duty, and it will probably be able to make a report this ‘morning. TEE FIRST LOW EUMBLE OF A COMING RATLEOAD WAR. The- following slightly aggressive communication was received aud read, and though it was thought to be rath— erseverainits strictaros against the railroads, it eviden'iy met with favor, and was laid ssic- for future consider- atlon: %o the Parmerg T~ of Tesde: I would re tention to the . railroad legisl. ion. thereto by the fact that eastern freights ave to be raised on the 20th of this month five cents per bushel on gratn from all points in Minnesota to thessaboard. It 1s time some no- tice should be taken of this matter by 1hs people. The principal grain-car- ryivg roads, the Milwaukee and St. 1 and the Chicago and Northwast- ern, are to-day earnlog enormous div- idends on their stock, while money in the east is plenty at 3 per ceut. per sunum. According to their published statements, the Milwaukeo and St. Paul are earning eleven per cent. and the Chicago and Northwestern fifteen cent. on both common snd pre- ferred etock, A8 the common stock cost nothin., and as the bulk of the stock in both compantes is eommon stock, you can readily see that they are in reality earningfrom twenty-five to forty per cent. on the original in- vestment, Wages are lower, and all running expenses, as well as iron and sll material requisite to -bulld oquip railroads, They readily place their bouds aud borrow mohey at five per cent. per anpum, but make the tarmers and producers psy them freight rates that enable them to pay forty per cent. dividends. No wonder they-ws fa: and strong, and openly boast that they will control All lagislatures who are opposed to them by buging up the members. Northwestern stock is quoted at 140, or forty per cent. above par, when two years ago it was but seventy; while the common_stock of St Paul, which “was elsven cents at that , i3 now 105, and vet they raise freights five cents per bushel. These are hard and ead facts. In God's name, have we no rowedy from this serfdom?

If we have 1o remedy and we are all morigaged to a fow rulroads, then the boseted civilips. ion of the nineteenth century is a failurs, and there sre no freemen in this utry. G atlemen of- the armers’ board” i trade, you who :ave been selecte {:om amongst our sest and truest el-.uents, it remains with you to start the agitation upow this subject, and with the coun- try - press of state. We wmeed mpot look to the cities—their fo ts ars with the railrosds, and the cities know how to protect themeelves. The uprising nust come from the country and their representatives. In conclusion let 1o say to thess who may think this overdrawn, look right at home and se0 what the cost of common_stock of te Northern Pacific, the St. Paul, Minneapoiis & Manitobs, the Minzea: plis & St. Louis and the St. Paul & Sioux City roads has been to the holders. I will surprise my farmer friends, at least, by stating the par value of the common stock of theee roads is nearly $100,000,000, and it cost the original holders not one cent, To-day it is worth in the wmarkets of the world from twenty-five to eighty cents on the dollar. Can any- thing ba sdded to such a showiug. J. D. BurBask. Fargo, D. T., Nov. 16, 1880, The above letter was commented on by The Pioneer-Prees of the same dite from the railroad managers’ wandpoint. This article drew out the following caustic reply from & Minne- sota_farmer, who is evidently well posted: To the editor of The Plonecr.Press. Pardon me for taking issue with you in your editorial comments in this morning’s issue in Mr. Burbank’s lot- tar on the railroads to “The Farmers’ Board of Trade.” You say it is an *‘extreme statement of the case from the farmer’s standpoint.” I cannot ceally see that it is extreme. On the contrary, in some points he is net as extreme as the trae facts warrant. To \linstrate, be' says two years ago Northwestern preferred stock was 70 and it is now 140. Now, the true facts of the case are, that three years ago, November, 1877, Miiwao- kee and Si. Paul common stock was 11and preferred 403; Northwestern common stock 15, and the preferred 37§, iustead of 70. Present quota- tions: Northwestern, preferred 140, common 115; St. Paul, preferred 119, common 1053. His statement that the stock of the roads he meations at heir par almost or ‘‘nearly” equals $100,000,000 is about correct, as wit- uess the figures: _Northern Pacific, £51,000.000; St. Paul & Manitoba, $15,000,000; and St. Paul & Omaba. Got less than §12,000,000, and prob- ably mare; it cost §10,000 per mile.So these three roads alone aggregate §78,- 000,000, which cost the original holders little or nothing, and in ad-~ dition these, too, all had land gran's toa sufficient amount to pay in full for the original cost of the roads. Take one of the oldest land grant roads of this state to illustrate this poiut: The Winons & St. Peter, now a part of the Chicago & Northwestern system. This road was origmally owned by eight partiee, and it is a well known fact that the land they soid more than paid the en tire cost of the road (which road was #0ld to the Northwestern for about $3.000,000), and the syndicats of cight still hed unsold about 500,000 acres of land left, which was not in- cluded in the above purchase, which, st the last average price of lands they had sold which I have scen published, would beworth over $4,000,000. Theeo ere largs ficures, but railroads are large corporaticns, aud railroad pro- mon to their list of office holders, let them choose thi 3 i prietors deal in la: the Chicazo and Northwestern and the Milwaukee aud St. Paul railroads rge figares.

This yesr Chevennd county te rted to the canvaesing board cf the districk a vote of 853 for Snyder, the U.

There needs no specification or de- tail of fraudulent votes cast or of the amount of the fraud in making the county retnrns 1n this case. - Ohey- enn county has received no geins by immigration, and has suffred busi- uess loss of people.
