Jn more modern times we have a new class of middle-men, that the the exigencies of trade have brought into this system of sale and ex- change. These have also become of use, and are known as COMMISSION MEN. These do not buy and sell on their own account, but on account of the producer, or of the merchant middle-men, or the consumer. Under this useful system, there h...ave grown up many frauds and irregularities that need correcting. These men secure a stipulated commission for their service, and thus avoid the risk of changing values, of loss in transit, or of decay. The farmer of to-day can hardly realize the changes that the build- ing of railroads has brought him ; he is slow to outgrow old habits, and to adapt himself to new conditions of things. The older members of this convention have not forgotten the days of their boyhood, when, if a new house was required, the first thing to be done was to enter the forest with axe and cross-cut saw, fell the trees, cut the saw-logs and haul them to the sawmill, to be cut into boards for the new building.
