The chicory company hM juft Issued, the following circular to grower*, which' explains itself: y: Fbemont, Neb., Not. 17,18&6. ’ Dear Sib—Your contract with tbo German chicory company provides that the company shall pay you 110.50 per ton for all chicory beets delivered in good condition. It also provides as follows: If the Mid German Chicory company fail, because of the invalidity of the laws of the state of Nebraska now pro viding for a bounty to be paid for man ufactured chicory, or through no fault of its own to recover the bounty there by provided for, or to realize money on any state warrants or other obligations issued as evidence thereof, then said German Chicory company is to pay the sum of IB per ton for said chicory beets, this sum being the prevailing price paid for ohicory beets before the enactment of the bounty law, and in the event of said law providing for said bounty being declared invalid after the payment of said sum of $10.50 per ton for chicory beets to me for the quantity of chicory beets that may have been already de livered by me to said German Chicory company, before said German Chicory company shall have been paid or shall have realized anything from said bounty, then I will repay to the said German Chicory company, on demand, the sum of $1.50 for each and every ton so delivered to it by me, and for which I may have been paid at the rate of $10.50 per ton. Bince the result of the election in Nebraska has become known, it has come to our knowledge that certain influences will be brought to bear upon the next state legislature, which assem bles in January, 1807, to repeal the bounty act now in force, and it is known that at present a majority of ! that body will be favorably disposed towards its repeal. Owing to the fact that this design is liable to be consu mated, and also to the further fact that the last legislature failed to make any appropriation for the payment of the bounty, it is necessary for us to enforce the above provision, and payment for your chicory beets will be computed on the basis of $0 per ton. The bounty question has been submitted to the supreme court of the state, who now have the matter under consideration. Should their decision be favorable, and the coming legislature allow the present law to stand and make an appropriation providing for the payment of the bounty, we shall then be in position to pay you the additional $1.50 per ton for chicory beets delivered by you. The German Chicory Company, The American Chicory Company, George A. Mead, Secretary. Mr. Mead of the chicory company was seen in regard to this circular And expressed deepest regret that this action had been found necessary by the board of directors of \he chicory company. He stated that the company had already made two payments on the basis of $10.50 per ton, but that the company felt that it was unsafe to go further until the validity of the law had been decided, and until the legislature had declared itself in favor of continuing the bounty. Mr. Mead also expressed the sincerest regret that anything should occur to disturb the friendly feeling which has been expressed by the chicory irrowers for the company and hoped that the action of the legislature might still be of such a character as to make it possible to pay the $10.50 per ton yet. Every effort will be made in the power of the members of the chicory company to assist the farmers In secur ing the additional $1.50, which however, rests entirely with the coming legisla ture. Asked for some figures as to the dif ference between the $9 and $10.50, Mr. Mead stated that the situation was as follows: On or before the 15th of December all of the chicory roots will have been paid for, but only a small proportion of the chicory will have been manufactured. The amount of the bounty will have been paid to the farmers, amounting to about $8,000. Now, if the incoming legislature shall repeal the bounty law, the company will be deprived of the repayment of this $8,000, which, in view of the extremely low price of manu factured chicory, the company do not feel able to stand.—Fremont Tribune.
