THE FARMERS COMBINE Attempt to Raise the Price, of Wheat. TEE TAEUr PEOTEOTED TBUSTS The Formers Sell Their Surplus Prod acts In CompelUlon With Other Countries The Trusts Are Licensed to Plunder the Farmers and Other Consumers. One can hardly blame tbe farmers 1b fie wlieat growing regions for organ ising n combine to bold taclr wheat uu Ml the price adrances. A dispatch from Kansas City reports the price of wheat a3 50 cents a bushel and les9 at the in ttTior markets In Kansas. There Is a loss In growing wheat at that price, with all the farmer buys at the pres ent high prices. The tariff protected trusts have advanced le prices of nearly everything the farmer buys over 43 per cent since the present high tariff law was passed, so that prosperi ty for the wheat farmer is a myth, al tfcough Secretary Wilson, who, being secretary of agriculture, should know better, declares the farmers were nev er so prosperous. Secretary Shaw Is making equally preposterous state ments and states In the speeches he Is making ou his partisan stumping tour that the tariff makes the fanners pros perous because It protects the home market from foreign Importations. But facts belie their words, for wheat Is protected in the tariff by a duty of 23 cents a bushel, but that docs not pre vent the price from depreciating until the price in Kansas, as noted above, Is 50 cents a bushel. It Is strange that Republican farm ers swallow such Republican state ments and vote to continue that party in power, which protects every trust that produces what the fanner must buy and only pretends to protect the farm products. The tariff includes du ties on wheat, corn, oats, bnrley, cattle, hogs and other agricultural products, but the price of those farm products Is settled by the law of supply and de mand. If there Is a surplus of wheat and other farm products. It has to be exported and sold in the world's mar kets in competition with the surplus of other countries, and that fixes the price bore. The tariff duty might be doubled, and it would have no effect on the price, or it might be abolished and the price would not be affected. There is no tariff duty on cotton, that product being on the free list, yet the price of cotton Is advancing, while tha protected wheat has declined. No farmers' trust or farmers' union eon control the price of wheat unless tbe combination is complete enough to prevent wheat being sold to the mills which supply the flour that the Ameri can people require. If the wheat grow ers could prevent enough wheat being marketed to supply the mills, the mill ing combine at the great flour milling centers, such as Minneapolis, would probably bid up the price enough to induce the farmers to sell until the price was too high to manufacture and ship the flour abroad at a profit. When that limit was reached, you may be sure tne nuns wouiu uc sum uowu rather than run them at a loss. To prevent the mills shutting down In tha spring of 11)05, when there was a short age of wheat, the administration al lowed Canadian wlieat to bo imported In bond without the payment of tha duty of 23 cents a bushel and ground in tbe mills at Minneapolis and ex ported as flour. That was the Repub lican way of protecting tho farmer when they had a very short crop and an opportunity of averaging up the price with tha years like the present oue, when a large surplus has been raised and tho price Is low. The fact is thut tho fanners have prospered in spite of tho tariff, which has increased the price of about all they buy through the protection tho trusts aud combines enjoy. The good or poor crops are not the result of tha tariff, but gjod crops aro duo to the bounty of nature, when the season la propitious, and the poor crops when nature frowns and is unfavorable. The Ideal for the fanner Is to bo allowed to buy in the cheapest market without any more tariff restriction than Is nec essary to produce enough revenue for tho government honestly aud econom ically administered and to sell in the dearest market that his produce can reach. Tho Republican policy, miscall ed protection, compels the farmer, and every one else for thut matter, to pay not only the tariff tax to the govern ment, which uvcraged ou all Imports for last year f3.81 per cent, but tha still greater tax which tho tariff allows the trusts to colleet.by increasing thcli prices, which averages ou trust prod ucts a much greater percentage than the government collects. Not content with this trust plundering, the tarifl law pretends to provide protection ou the farmers' wheat and other cereals, tho price of which no law can govern, becauso tho surplus crop after our own people are suppllud must be sold in the open uarkets of the world after pay ing the railroads and shipping com bines all they demand. That Is Republican protectionism, which would not stand a minute if Re publican farmers would join thcli Democratic neighbors In electing tarlfl reformers to congress. Patriots For Pelf.

DIRT FLYING AT 'CARTHAGE. Itailroad to Piiichurst Mill He Com pleted in February. Mr. T. 13.

Negri I'rngreNN In the Mouth. Generally speaking those high in authority in the Southern States are trying their best to keep order. Ne gro ngitatoia in the North are doing their race no tjood vhen they adopt resolutions calling for the emergence of "a new Garrison or Simmer, or Lincoln." Nothing is easier than making phrases, ailing grievance, and adopting resolutions. The ne groes have their troubles, but they are doing remarkably well in this country, 'l hey are better off than motrt labor elements in any couutry whatsoever, and far better" off than any inferior race elsewhere. Human society in our day and generation is in a condition of ferment and strug gle in almost every lund. Yet through al! the dust and conflict and strife, a keen observei can be hold real and steady progress. It is to be regretted that pessimism re garding the race question in the South should within the past year have become so widespread and pro found. The existence of the two races in great numbers side by side, however unforiunate, is a fact that cannot be changed for generations yet to come, brave and wise men, therefore, will face the problems that grow out of such a situation and try to solve them. Whatever makes for good order, prosperous industry, decent conduct, and di -fused intelligence, must in its meas ure lesson the difficulties.

I had been a severe sufferer from nervous prostration for two years, and everything I ate disagreed with me. This made me feel so wretch ed and bad all the time that life w. s a burden; and I felt that I had rather die than live. I could n t eat meat or any solid food at all, and everything I did eat caused me to suffer. I had terrible nervous spells, when I would become cold and fepl almost lifeless then hot baths would have to be applied. I suffered from gas on the stomach all the time, and so weak I didn't do any work for twelve months. Noth ing I tried did me any good. 1 was in that condition when Mrs. .loe Person called to see me last July and said everything she cpuld to persuade me to try her Remedy, us she was so confident it would cure ine. I bought a half dozen bottles and felt a great deil better by the time I had taken the third. I coutinued it until I took 18 bot tles, which CURED me. My iudi jestion is well and I can eat any thing I want, aud it is very seldom I ever have even a touch of nervous ness. My health is good aud life itself seems like a different thing to me and well worth living. When I commenced the Remedy I weighed 105 pounds, now I weigh 140 pounds, which was my natural weight before I was taken sick. If any oue suffers from indi jestion or nei vous prostration, they need not hesitate to try the Remedy. I would uot take any amount of money for what it did for me. Mrs. J. D. Brevard.

Third Assistant Postmaster General Madden Is trying very hard to help the railroads who are subsidized by a Re publican congress. lie lately appeared before 'tho United States postal com mission, which is Investigating the al leged violation of the law by publica tions onjiaing the one cent postage rate. The commission consists of Sen ators Penrose of Pennsylvania, Clay of Georgia and Carter of Montana and ItciH'eseutatives Ovcrstroct of Indiana, Gardner of New Jersey and Moon of Tennessee. Madden charge that most of the ijm.iMiO.ooo dellclt In pos tal receipts is chargeable to publica tions that have unlawfully taken ad vantage of the one cent rate. If this were true. Madden is to blame for al lowing unlawful advantage being tak en of the law, but the facts do not warrant auy such charge, for the law Ihu been interpreted by Madden as much c.s possible against the newspa pers and other publications. The deficit Is caused by the enormous price paid the railroads for carrying the mall and the plundering by the railroads charg ing exorbitant rents for mall cars and also by the rapid Increase of the rural free delivery routes. Oue dollar a hundred iHunds Is a good price for currying sacks of news paper nijiil. and many of the greater newspapers are sending their news papers for the news agents by express or fast freight at n lower fate. The railroads for tho year ending June 30, 1001, the last otHclal report, received for carrying the mails $44,409,732 and for the same period the express com panies paid the railroads .$41,875,030. The weight of the express matter car ried must exceed the weight of the mail carried many times, which indi cates bow the railroads, by tho aid of a courplacpiit ltopublicau congress, are paid subsidies far greater than the service is fairly and reasonably worth. Newspaper publishers should keep their eyes open to the Investigations of this joint committee of congress, of whom all the Republican members are notoriously railroad sympathizers, and pee that the mail facilities of newspa pers nre not recommended to be cur tailed or abolished. The public Is in terested In securing newspapers at the present cheap rate, as any advance In the rate of postage will have to be paid by the subscribers. The reform needed Is the reduction In the rate paid to the railroads and for postal cars and the special subsidies voted by congress for the so called fast mail trains, and every congressman should be pledged to vote for the reduction of these un reasonable rates for carrying the malls and the deficit in the postal revenue would be turned into a surplus. THE TARIFF ON HOMES. A Republican Editor Tells How the Trusts Plundered Hlui. There is one Republican at least in Kansas who through experience has been forced to acknowledge that tho tariff fosters trusts which plunder the people. This man fortunately is an ed itor and Is evidently nn honest oue, for in his paper, the Concordia empire, he tells his readers: "We recently have completed a house at a cost of something over $4,000, and for every foot of lumber, every pane of glass, every sack of cement, every pound of nails aud, in fact, for nearly every bit of material that went into It we made a good, liberal contribution through the trusts that control them, ni:d we guess we have done our share. It may be treason for a Repub lican newspaper to talk this way, but facts nre facts, and It sort of relieves our conscience to tell the truth about the trusts once in awhile. We'll just lot the trusts, to which we have had to pay unwilling tribute In the past year, pay our dollar for us. We need It, niul they don't." Yet this liounst Republican, having paid his tax to the trusts, which on the $4,0G0 expended must have amounted to many hundreds of dollars, seems still willing to allow his neighbors to be plundered In like manner, for he does not denounce this trust plunder lug as robbery nor demand that the Re publican candidate for congress In his district be pledged to kei'p out of the congressional caucus and to vote to re vise the tariff. It Is truo he ref'iscs to contribute a dollar to the Republican campaign fund, evidently feeling that ho is doing enough to perpetuate tho trust plundering by supporting the can didates of the G. (). P. If this editor would investigate con ditions In his town, county and state ho would discover how few citizens aro benefited ly tho tariff and, being an agricultural community, how many pay tariff taxes to the trusts oa nearly everything they buy. not by auy means confJued to materials for building. Still he Is a shining light compared to most other .Republican editors, who, knowing tho same facts, dare not dis close them to tho Republican voters for fear It would "hurt the party." lulled States Collecting: Acency. Dispatches from Washington declare that 4,the customs receipts of the re public of Santo Domingo are rapidly increasing under tha American pro tectorate." That Hounds very well. But the rnl ted States senate has twice rejected the treaty which established this "protectorate" ns a violation of the federal constitution. Tho "protector ate" Is a Roosevcltian nfftiir entirely, and seems to be conducted In the In terest of ' Rockefeller's National City bank entirely, though at the expense of American taxpayers. tt Is an outrage against tho government of the United States. What legal right has President Roosevelt to use American ships and American officer to oollect aioney from foreigners for the benefit cf Lis pet bankers? AN EXPERT OBSERVER ON THE MANUFACTURE OF CHEWING TOBACCO. An expert observer on the manu facture of chewing tobacco claims that it is the planter's process of flue curing, producing and developing the stimulating flavor and bouquet of the tobacco grown on certain lands in the Piedmont tobacco belt, which popu larizes the chewing tobacco habit. R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company's factories are located in the famous Piedmont flue-cured tobacco belt, the finest chewing tobacco section known to the world. This kind of tobacco requires less sweetening to please chewers than any other tobacco grown. The Company's location en ables it to secure the choicest selec tions of this flue-cured leaf, which are manufactured under the personal supervision of men who have made the selecting and blending of this particular kind of tobacco for chew ing purposes their life study. The Reynolds' plants for the manu facture of Schnapps and other of its brands of chewing tobacco, arc op erated larccly by machinery, in the most hygienic manner, and reveal a system of cleanliness that would do credit to a model household. The old adaire of "too many cooks" holds pood in tobacco manufacturing. The Company has reduced the hand ling of tobacco to a minimum. Automatic conveyors take the leaf to the brushing machines (specially in vented f,r the Reynolds Company), where, Ivy an ingenious process, every leaf is brushed and cleaned. After this brushing and cleaning, the tobacco drops into another con veyor arid is carriH to the sweeten ing machines, where the sweeten ing is applied automatically, thereby insuring a uniformity and cleanli ness impossible by the ordinary method; and thus, with the idea of cleanliness always paramount, the tobacco is conveyed automatically from one machine ' to another, throughout nearly the entire process of manufacture. The pleasant and appetizing aroma of the tobacco leaf used, and the cleanly methods of manufacturing nave caused visitors to the Com pany s factories to experience their first desire to chew tobacco. The best treatment for indigestion and troubles of the stomach is to rest the stomach. It can be rested by starvation or by the use of a good digestaiit which will digtbt the food eaten, thus taking the work off the stomach. At the proper tempera ture, a single teaspoonful of Kodol will wholly digest 3,000 grains of food. It relieves the present an noyance, puts the stomach iu shape to satisfactorily perform its func tions. Good for indigestion, tour stomach, flatulence, palpitation of tue heart and dyspepsia.
