patronizing Way in which these representatives of railway monopoly extortionists talk of the Western farm except on those occasions when the Tribune has republished denounced the insulting comments of these organs of Gamester and robbers Gould and his Farmers of the West Are not aware of their exist the Tribune recently defended of against the venal abuse poured on him by the new York because of his attempts to enforce the state forbidding extortionate and unreasonable Railroad the Tribune replied to the charge of the indicator that the governor was doing this to catch ignorant or dishonest
