oxcossho charges of the rail l o ids should oxctto enstorn opposition 1 hero Is a widespread fooling In tlio cast that the competition ot tlio west is unfa\orablo to the igtcultural ( in terests of that section , ind wlicthor well or ill-founded it is sufficient to irrny enstorn lnfluenco In hostility to nnj movement In the west involving the possibility , however rcmoto , of In creasing that competition The \ast bonoflls that hay o boon secured to the consuinors ol the cast from the agricul tural development of the west are lo3t sight of In the rollccllon that the farms of the former section tuo notns profitable is they once were , nnd that this is duo to the eompotitlou of the west Aloro- o\or , eastern sjmpalhv Is largolj on the side of the corpoi itlons , nnd there is nothing the people of that sec tion regard as of greater roproich than ' ginngertstn , " a tetmtbo.y applj tooiciy effort of the pcoploof the vest to secure fair trcitmcnt from the rail roads In the diliclsms of the oaitoiu press upon the ippctl of Goyoi nor Thayer In behalf of the fa'tnors that hayo como to our notice there nro both mlsropro- soiitationa nnd Ignorance It is stated , for ox imnio , that the go\ornor lias asked the roads to carrj corn to mar ket at the actual cost of tr insportallon llo has done nothing of the soi t Ho has morelj suggested that the rends could bettor afford to do this than that the corn should bo allowed to rot , the destitution among the farmers bo increased , and all classes of busmoss In the state suiter greater depression This proposition is neither audacious nor senseless , is it is chaiaclorl/od bj cislorn nowsptpors , unless It bo as sumed that the railroads hive no con cern In the welfare ot the people and the business interests of Nobiaska Nor Is the appetl for chnrltj , is ono noHspiper intctpiols it , a call upon lho stockholders of the to ids "to put their hands in their pockets for the bonollt of the fnrmors of Nebraska " It is slinplj u request for fair and just con sideration to a people ttho htno ghou millions in bounties and bonuses to the railroids and who for years have paid the corporations in enormous tribute most unjustly exacted The fatme-sof Nebraska are not in this matter begging foi favors lhoj are asking only for what they bullovo to bo just what they concono to bo not alone in then own Interest , but for the bonollt ot till the pcoplo of the blato , and wh it they jro confident the tailroads can well afford to grant It is evident that when the eastern uoMspipois ussort that nitos aio not unusually ln 'h

low as proi illetl throe and foui yoais agor" In wh it rospeet is the cost of tr mspot- tntion to the roads gieiter now than thonJ Purtheimoto , what justification can bo offcrod for charging twenty cents per hundred for com from the Missouri to Chicago , a distance of flvo hundred milfs when the stmo corn is carried from Chicago to Now \ork , a distance by the shortest route of nine hundred miles , for eighteen cents per hundred pounds The simple truth is that in establishing rates on food products the western toads hiuo been govoinod by the pimciplo of exacting all that the ti xlllc will bo u , and their disposition is to adhuo to this policy The malingers figutothit sooner or lutci the pioduccis will mm kot their grain , wh ito or snu iflco they may have to sttnid , and tboi nro
