Kmtor Chirp. With no desire to
be icvcro in our criticisms, we think
that the letter of Governor Thayer to
theH. R. companies, pieces the gov
ernor and the railroad commissioner
of this state ?n a peculiar positien,
in their effort to reduce freight ratea
in interstate commerce. They have
threatened to reduce the rates within
thin state. Iu this they tacitly admit
that heretofore they have neglected
to reduce the ratea in this state to a
just and reasonable basis. Would it
not be well for the commissioner to
attend tn their business in this state
instead of going to Chicago for the
purposo of interfering in matters (of
interstate commerce) over which they
have no control. Would it not be
well for the governor to eiplain why
it ii that the Hw of this state has not
been enforced as (gainst these cor
poration. Their sudden leal in thia
mailer leada us to believe that certain
politician begin to see the handwrit
ing oh the wall, and aro trying to
throw dut in the eyiaof the farmers
until after another state election.
The governor ought to know that the
farmers of this state are not asking
for charity, but for justice. They
are nut asking that reasonable freight
ratea be reduced, but that extortionate
ratea be made reasonable.
They aro asking that the interstate
commerce law be amended and it
enforcement placed in tha hands of n
commission who will not permit the
hipping of dressed beef from Kansas
aity to Chicago, at about one hair tht
rate that ia charged for a like aerial
from Omaha. They are demanding
that tha law be so amended, that tha
state of Nebraska will be made the
plaintiff in all eases growing out of
extortionate or unjust diseriminstiona
ia tha rates for carrying freight or
passengers between points in this
atatc. and that its enforcement be
plaeed in the hands of a commission
who are in sympathy with the people.
Until this is accomplished there can
bf no practical test of the theary of
state or national control of these eor
po rations.
Ia our demands fur lower freight
rates we aro met with the assertion
that if freight aro reduced our grin
will be rush! to market and prices
reduced. Oar (would be) guardians
telle as that freight must be kept ap
for ear good. This argumtat ia off of
the name piece of goods from which
the protective tariff argument is cat,
i.e. that ilia aeeeeaary e Ux sad
extort from the people in order to
make them prosper. The Uer ab
surdity of thia claim it amply illui
t rated by a glaaee at tha I aancial
coaditioa of tht farmers ol the entire
country. We ait telling oar owns In
Leaden and Liverpool ia eempctitiea
with the grain of other countries.
Kvcry cent of the tosi of sealing it
to market is pa'd by tha producer.
Our oppoaeaU should take noma tea
aiateat theory and either pataae k at
true or sbaadee it aa f alto. The troth
ia thai oota ia Liverpool is bat little
lower thia year ihaa loot. Oeeaa

great disadvantage, IJader her free
trade policy, Kaglaad is mistreat of
tne oeeaa carrying trade, and our
commerce is at her mercy. When we
Lave a small tupply of ioro octaa
freights are low but with a large ur
ptus we art at the mercy of Koglith
ship owners. Hcmove tariff restrict
tlons and American ship owner will
compete with their Hrltlsh rivals in
u.e ucer carrying trade, ami ocean
freights on corn would fall below three
cent. Karat ct, we cannot dodge the
imuc. It is squarely before us.
Tariff taxes are to a great extant the
ciuse of the low price of corn and
other farm products, and the problem
for free transportation will never be
olvod until all the materials ued
in building and operating our railways
arc placed on tne free list and Ameri
can ship owner are allowed their
freedom to compete with their rivals.
It will not be solved until the farmers
of the west assert their rights at the
ballot box and demand that their eon
grcasnian have clearer idea of polit
ical economy tnan to aert that tax
ing and extorting from the farmers of
the country will make them prosper.
The present agitation ia full of prom
ie. Let farmers, merchants and la.
borers stand together for meaiures of
relief. Our ist-rests are so closely
interwoven thai an injury to the far
mcr is an injury to the merchant and
laborer, Let passion and prejudice
be thrown aside. Let as seek the
truth without regard to where it may
be found, and when we vote let as
vote for oar own interests, for the in-
tereM of this community, for the
ioterciU of Nebraska (oar own our
native suflanwer patch.) If we fail
to do this wo are not worthy citiioas,
and will not obtain the relief so
surely needed. .

KniTon Cumr. This time two
years ago all a person eould hesr was
free trade or tariff,' but after eloetita
free trade aeemed to have lost its sa
vor. Ol eourso the difference in
presidential politiss, helped the tariff
question to cool off, any way wa have
aot heard very much about fret trade
since Mr. Harrison's eleetioa, until 3
or 4 weeks age, or, since Mr. Me-
Kclghan's f rst letter, and I eaa tell
yoa it has warmed up the old tariff
question ia thia part of the world.
Three cheers for MeKeighaa and six
cheers for the Cilixr for printing his
letter, it has given us something to
talk about besidee oar aeighhora.
Such letters and replies to thtm
make thiaga lively. Kvery mat,
woman and child who can read are
eager to oecome posted oa the free
trade question. 8o many are puttied
as to its meaning I heard one per
son ssy not a great while ago that he
weald give $M, to understand the
tariff as he would like to. We take
several papets sod keep some for
year. Ho I eoneluded I would take
a course in reading old newspapers
aid sift oat the much talked of tariff.
Of coarse the editors of moot of oar
papers art eteaach repablieaaa with
ehsrity toward all. They try to peel
fy the advocite of free trade by giv
ing it its real meaning, which I bate
pat tegctbr as I understand it, and
I hope f am right. Oar free trade

For years the farmers of the United
Stale have been trying lo ilevin ways
and means by which they nould bo en
ablcd to cope with the balance of their
brethren in the line of business. It
seems tn have recently dawned upon
their minds that they have accom
plished very little ia the way of unit
ed effort, from the fact that they
have been unable to keep their saea
la line. Thcie are many reasons why
the farmers should stand together and
labor to bring about an assoeiatloc, of
torn aert that weald be etroeg enough
to compel the vast moaepolics of the
country to etme to their terma, instead
of tht fsrmer boat; dictated to aad
