Then being in a position to "control the market," they wrere able to charge the public whatever f they pleased. Thi8 was called making a ''ring" or a ' rner.'V- Fluently they cleared gi eat gain;- Sometimes they' failed toj do so, and encountered more or price 01 or 3vu per' wn .: ior capper havjn been forced up to 450 per' ton .(entailing : great losses to f the consumers of copper), the ring or syndicate cleared immense gain at the outset, but the j demand giving way, owing to substitute having been found, - they encountered - losses ; too great; to he borne, and came to grief, to the great satisfaction of. all; ex cept the members of the syndicate. From special and I temporary en terprises of this nature they settled down about three years ago- to more permanent work, and sought by buy ing up the sources of supply of an article of commerce, the : production of which and other sources of which were limited, to put themselves in a position to bleed the public at ; their own will, and this permanently. r These enterprises! they - called trusts. I have been endeavoring for some time to collect names jof these trusts, as they are called, but have only been partially successful. For in stance, I have not obtained the name of more than one, ) I; think, -which was formed before the middle I of 1888;. nor is my list up to date; nor as the names of the trusts given haTe been compiled by a private individ ual from unofficial sources, can it be considered complete, even for-the period investigated j j - i - J?rom 1888, however,, they have been very busy indeed These cor porations now include! no less than 2,000,000,000, or considerably more than two-thirds of the! entire manu facturing capital ! of the United States in 1888-9: !

The Cotton 3il Trust, which embraqps hundreds of subsidiary trusts, is also heavily watered. The straw Board and Pa- per Trust is stated to have a "con spiracy capital" of $6,000,00O, : And so on. . . '- A. 1. Acreage af Cottaa. - The report of the statistican of the petKirtment of Agriculture for June ; makes the acreage in cotton 97.7 : per cent, of the area of 1890, and! the average condition 85. The reductiori of area is attributed in some districts to4 concerted action on" account of low prices, but it is evident that it is mainly due to unfavorable conditions for planting and germination. The1 record of planting in the May report is quite an accurate history of crops to the present time. Planting jwas delayed by early rains aud drought in the latter'half of April followed by continued drought in May. Ger mination arrested, replanting, of de fective stands are the features of -the record frequently; and almost univer sally reported. Those conditions were less general and ; controlling' in Texas than in anr other State. The areas as compared with-those of. .last year are given as follows: i, ! Virginia 96, North Carolino D4, South Carolina , "96, Georgia 195, Florida 99, Alabama 9G, Mississippi 88, Louiaians 88, Texas 91, Arkansas 89, Tennessee 73. ' - i . j The temperature of May was quite too low: for cotton, cool nights check- ing germination ana reEaraing growth. Of course these conuiUOns make the crop late in development in Some places a few days in f others a week or two later than in seasons of early development There is fre quent mention of bad stands, but constant replanting will reduce the vacancies to a minimum. Cultiva tion resulting ' from differences ; in Isoil, amount of replanting, and rela tive -promptness and emeieucjr of plantation managers. , ; ! ! AGn4 Ou SeiaUr George.

Many peo ple are beginning to think that when the interests of the great masses are at stake the leaders in both the polit- J icai parnes are a unite againsi inesn. LHow close they run together some times may be shown by a success ful practical by The Southern Mer cury as follows: v "Some Republican sent Senator George circulars headed ' The Infa mous Tariff law with a opposite 300 Items, from which - the senator prepared a two hours speech, giving the Republicans fits for their whole sale robbery.

But w haf of ; it? . The ; -essential fact is that the farmers of Vermont and New England, yesL jand the laborers of that section;" too, are sick and) tired of the' mamier' m which the public affairs of thisj country are ad ministered. They have been robbed and deceived and bulldozed long enough. . They, believe the time has come for a new. deal. And this brings me to a point' which is often lost sight of in the great agitation which is arousing the country. , I I, . . . : " ?. ii ' ' ;' ' . i w Tne impending ' revolution is as mucn a revolt" against leauers as agaihst ; 1 measures. ; -Both;' the : ' old parties have sot out of the : hahcbr'of therpeople. ; They ' nojonger repre sent the will ; of - the - majority of their jneaiDers. rhey are 0011- absolntely by rings of. pol iticians and office holders, .who ig uore'or defy the : common people.

I In. slang i phrase, the peo pleiare "not in it" a Sot complete is thercoiitrol of machineain the hands of the money . power and - other, cor rupt influences, that the Only hope of an outraged people seems to lie in a political revolution. It appears to be easier for the people to -regain tbe scepter of power by the creation of a new party than by the ; capture of either of the old ones.- "'- '..-' ; ;.'' iJ-f , - ;:.;: . .; What a pictu ret iThe people of a ereat republic struggling to gain con- krol of their own goverumeutl What has made such a spectacle possibler The unfaithfulness of public servants, and nothing else. The purpose of the people to punish their unfaith fulness is unanimous. . : Even those who believe in -striving for reform through the old parties agree in that. See it all through the South, where old local "Democratic leaders are giv ing place to uew men. This purg ing of the dominant party is possible in some localities, but how about the whole nation? The army of reform is divided between both parties in its past affiliations. Each party is con trolled by a ring. E v?rybod3', knows that Both party rings are con trolled by one other outside ring the goldbugs. Everybody knows that too. Now, how' is the army of reform, divided in half, to defeat, first, one of the political or party rings, and through it the goldbngs? No matter w hat promises by the old parties are made and they will be meant to deceive in any event the army of reform cannot be ; marched by anybody's order into either the Republican or Democratic camp. It can be marched under its own ban ner, many millions strong, into ; a camp of its own! - . . . - ' ''' - , . There is the logic of the whole po litical situation clear as daylight Does it not make compromise, with either Of the old parties out of the question? The demand of reform is for new men as well as new meas ures, r That is a demand which neither the Republican nor the Dem ocratic party will ever, grant They would swallow the whole Alliance platform if forced to it; but 3 give up control of the machine? Never! That would mean the destruction of the power behind the throne That would mean the ; downfall Of , plu tocracy. TWt wOuld mean the res toration of the people to power. , ; - - . Be not deceive! by 'oily offers of nlatform concessions. Ihey. cost nothing. They mean little. What if one or both parties in final panic next year incorporate all the Alli ance demands in its platform. What will it amount to, provided the same men and influences still control the party? It is no unprecedented thing for a party to be false to its plat form. Indeed, it has become so com mon that j it excites ' little! surprise, and if the people in disgust Jturn to the other party, this goldbugs be hind the scenes laugh land ; rub their hands and say to each1 other, "What fools these mortals be." What cares Wall street which1 party is in power as it controls both? t .; . t j : .- , ' f When one of the old parties says to the reform army; "Name our candidates." - thenre can accept their professions of sympathy with some faith' in their sincerity. But that dav will nver come. A sop or two will be , thrown i to the reform leaders. That's alh) Let me give you a sample. One of the old party machines recently made overtures, tbe substance of which wasthat the reform party might name their cand idate ! for 'rice-President in 1892! What an insult! And what fools the politicians are to think the ex asperated people of this country-are to be caught by such chaff. The vice-Presidency 'has been the empty both parties political v debts tor years. It goes : always either to a bag of money or to a disappointed candidate for the first place on the ticket The incumbent of the office is merely waiter for the dead men's! shoes. Jf the President dies he be come somebody --aot otherwise. ; '. Jt is mj. protnues of all sorts of concessions within ' the; next year that the old ymxix leadow . will try to check the third arty movement To tho people of th Soth these as surancea will be made more alluring than to all others. Xet them not be deceived. Local supremacy, State control of party and - officers, t ample concessions in , national ; platforms all willxbe laid at theit feet with the most solemn protestations of 16yV alty to the Interest of the farmer..

Well it ought not to take much wisdom to answer that questicn. The uew party has adopted the. Alliance demands into its platform. Does any one suppose that intelligent Alliance t men will vote against a party that adopts those demands aud in favor of a party that not only fails to adopt but re sists those demands.' I he western Alliance states have already gone in to the new party. Will not the nec essity for Alliance unity- force-; the other Alliance states to go into the uew pari v tioo. , V e see no way to prevent the new party from sweeping the country . ex cept the simple one of cheerfully conceding to the people every one of their just demands.' If the Alliance men are to-be blamed for going into the new party, then a "hungry Child cau oc biameu tor going to some one who can and will i furnish him . food.' Gentlemen of the old parties; if the time comes when your rauks shall by broken, your leaders overthrown and your, heritage taken from you, do not blame tbe Alliance for your ruin. The people represent ed by the Farmers Alliance have pe titioned and begged and pleaded and prayed' for relief all these years: and the haughty minions of political power have spurned both them and their petitions and prayers. Do not blame them for your overthrow, but blame your own blind and miserable folly. .- The action lately taken bj' the conference at Cincinnati has made the future of : our politics so uncer tain as to throw the old party leaders into -consternation. They do not know, "and no fellow can tell them into' whose hands they are gomg to fait It seems to us that, no good can come to these leauers aim tne parties they represent so long as these people stand shivering in their places ex'pecting disaster.
