_ The Monthly Report cannot, in any sense, come under this protest, as it is 
not sent to individual farmers, but to the agricultural, metropolitan, and local 
press; to officers of agricultural societies ; statistical reporters; meteorological 
observers; industrial and technical societies in this country and in Europe; and 
writers for the press. The design is simply to furnish useful data, officially 
obtained—much of it otherwise practically inaccessible—to the people, not 
directly, but through the press. Its office is to enlarge and enrich, in an agri- 
cultural point of view, the current matter of such publications, and not to com- 
pete or interfere with any of them in the slightest degree. If this aim is properly 
understood there certainly cannot be found a publisher with views so narrow 
or prejudices so small as to make possible the least hostility or jealousy in the 
case.
