In discussing the Trust question the discussion has turned mainly npon the i efiect the trusts will have on the prices of articles controlled by them, the prices they, may charge . for what they sell and the prices - they will pay for what they buy. - :; '.' The successful-Trustj-v that k, the , . 1 ?one that ; succeeds in preventing Xrj; competition, will have a practical ; monopoly of the market not only on .-' ; what it sells but . on what it buys, IJShi for hiring no competition it can ilfi i:- ; i maVA !f nmi nollinor and hnvinir ) v --prices and the man who wants to f . r. , buy what the Trust has to sell, or the man wno wants to sen wnat it wants to buy must be governed by its prices i f or he can't help himself. This was the case when, there were numerous Trusts each interested in one line of goods, but it is much ft- ; '. more the case when these rrusts rft ' consolidate, go under one manage ment and the management controls a great many articles. " As an illustration, we hare the combination known as the United States Steel Company, with an alleged capital of $1,000,000,000. It con trols about everything in the line of iron and steel manufactures, with iron mines, coal mines, ships to carry the iron from its mines on the Lakes and railwavs to transport its coal to its furnaces and its manu ' f actures to their destination. Since then another great combine has been - formed with an alleged capital of : ' $100,000,000, composed of the lead- ; f ing manufactories making agricul :-; itural machinery -reapers, mowers, V . thresher, plows, cultivators, etc, ' cprering the whole range of farm machinery or implements. Such a t ' combine as the steel company can, : J of course, put its " own price upon 'its manufactures and the buyer -; I ' : must pay it, because the. protective ' i'-M '.-- tariff practically closes our ports against the manufacturers of other countries and there can be no com petition from abroad. This agri cultural machinery combine can make jits own prices, and lay trib ute on. every farmer in the country because the protective tariff gives it a monopoly, too,, and prevents com petition, even if this machinery were produced in other countries. It so happens that this country has the prestige and the rnn on this kind of work, and the manufactur ers have not only a good home , mar ket but a fine and growing market in other countries. With a practical monopoly of the home market before, although there might have been some competition between the several manufacturers which kept prices from becoming exorbitant, with this combine the monopoly will be absolute and it can make its own prices. - What is true of these two com bines is true of' all. The system if carried out And made permanent means the control of all the great manufacturing and productive in dustries, by a comparatively small number of men, and this means more to the American people than the matter of prices, which is a very se rious one, especially to the wage earner, who is dependent upon his days labor for his' daily bread. It means that these combines will not only have the power to levy tribute upon the American people, bnt it means that they will have ab solute control of the wage-earners employed in the respective indus tries controlled by the. Trusts now control nearly every in dustry in" this country which em ploys skilled labor and some that do not, so it might be said that nearly all the labor of the country not em ployed on the, farm, or in non-productive callings, is in the employ of Trusts and controlled by them. This presents a serious problem for the present and the future, more , serious for the future than the pres ent unless the Trusts are scotched. Before these Trusts were formed there were many employers, and if a workman was dissatisfied with his place of work he could quit and get .? work somewhere else. If he failed - to give satisfaction and was dis--" charged he. could go to another r employer, and apply : for work. " He was. not ; dependent upon one employer and consequently did not ; feel the necessity of keeping in the . I the. good graces of - that one, and , implicitly 1 obeying orders whether he liked them or not. With but one employer to giye him work his ' independence is practically gone and he must meet the requirements or , lose his job, and 'that will mean that he cannot get anether job in that line of business. He will be black listed and all the shops in that com bine will be closed against him, and all he can do, if he doesn't wish to steal or starve, will be to turn tramp, hunt dome other kind of job or learn some other kind of business. ' -Whether this will be the outcome of Trust organizations remains to be eenj It will be lithe Trust system mesf permanent and. the. labor or8nitioiis"do :n6t become so oughly ramifted and to obut; however tS" ;the tend : "?. k ' ---"rr 7, : Aru" M to de- coco srrade labor and reduce it eventual ly to the condition of serfdom. The first contest with the Steel Trust is on ; now. What the future may be f orthe workman may depend very much on the outcome of this con test." If labor wins it may be treat ed with respectful consideration; if the Steel Trust wins its rule will be imperious, and the men in its em pior -will not dare to exnress an opinion if they dare to have one. j- - V iLLnrois BOXERS. - We do not know what the sect known as Dowieites believe in, but they do not seem to be in high favor in the section of Illinois where they are the. moBt numerous, although they attract a good deal of attention and are greeted with more or less demonstration wherever they hold forth. . I A few days ago they had a meet ing on one of the streets of Evans ton. It seems they anticipated t -demonstration of . some sort . and brought a guard with them to pro tect the men and women partici pating in the meeting. They were speedily surrounded by about 1500 Boxers, and when one of the elders mounted a camp stool to preach he was saluted with a shower , of eggs of ancient date, decayed fruit, vege tables, etc.. But the men and women who accompanied him prayed and sang while the eggs, fruit and vege tables added variety to the per formance. : : .f The Boxers began ; to crowd the prayers and singers, and fearing "a riot" the Mayor ordered a fire en gine out and it played for all it was worth on . that crowd, making special target of the Dowieites who, notwithstanding the drenching, con tinned to pray and sine. And then the police came along and arrested three or four of the principal Dowie ites, but none of the Boxers. It does not appear that the Dowie ites struck anybody or retaliated in anyway, but the leaders were ar rested and the preaching elder- was held on a charge of "inciting a riot." Here is what the Boxers did to the prisoners while being escorted to the station by the police, as told by wire: "As the squad of police with their prisoners walked down ; the street to ward the police station a block away a portion of the mob threw stagnant water upon Piper and three of his lieutenants by means of squirt guns. The men were also struck by acids which burned their clothing. Poring this time many eggs strack Piper and having been drenched with water he was in a deplorable condition. "At last the station was reached. A number of other Dowieites were ar rested and taken to the court room of the Eyanston station. Piper was charged with disorderly conduct and inciting a riot It is probable the others win be released." "Stagnant water and acids squirted on prisoners in c harge of police, prisoners whose only; offense was preaching something ; the Boxers didn't like and praying and singing on the streets. Were any of these acid squirting Boxers arrested? If so, or if anyjattempt was made to arrest them or protect these prisoners the dispatches do not mention it. And all this was in a suburb, not of Pe- kin, but of the American city, Chi cago. We think Dowie, who poses in the role of Elijah, is an arrant fraud and that his followers are deluded innocents, bnt as far as we know they are not accused of any immoral or lawless teaching and therefore ought not be subjected to such persecution by American Boxers with the assent and connivance of the municipal authorities. Such conduct is more disgraceful to an American community than the outrages by the Chinese Boxers were to the Chinese communities in which they were per petrated. - ' OBJECT LESSOHS FOE THE FAB- USES. In urging the importance of di versified farming in the South and the raising of all the food stuffs needed on the farm, we have fre quently referred to the danger of trusting to one crop, no matter what it'is, and to the uncertainties that beset the farmer from the time he plants to the time sells. This y ear we have, by way of illustration, some striking object lessons bearing both upon . the , diversification of crops and - the 7 uncertainties we speak of. This has been a year of set-backs to the Southern farmer, because early in the reason excessive rains re tarded the growth' generally, chok ing np the crops in grass, while in some sections they caused , floods which destroyed the crops that were growing. "Now the excessive warm weather and droughts in some sec tions threaten to injure the crops se riously. With all this there have been frequent storms and falls of Hail that did much damage to fruit, berries, vegetables, &o. " In the West the indications a few weeks ago were for immense crops of wheat, corn, oats, hay, Ac. The wheat was barely harvested before the intense heat came, accompanied by a drought which has about ruined the hay and corn crops , in a large area of the West and Southwest, in some portions of which j the farmers are now feeding wheat to their stock for want of corn and oats. This is the section on . which South ern farmers who import their .hay and corn and meat mainly depend. .This shortage, of course, will rnn prices np and the Southern farmer with ; short cropf himself,f irfll be compelleAito t, pay"? these 1 higher prices for the stuff he buys. 'Lucky is the, man who acting sensiblyl has raised his own supplies and thus will not suffer from this Western shortage." V According to a recent" decision of a Minnesota court it is an inalien able light of a citizen of that com monwealth or of a sojourner therein to Shoot a gambler who wins his money by cheating and refuses to refund. A Dr. who did that was acquitted. The effect of this ought to be to increase the- shooting or di minish the cheating. An excahge speaking of a com pliment paid by the German Min ister in Pekin to an American officer, in which he referred to the officer as "an. American subject," remarks that we have "citizens" hot "subjects" in this country." But ain't we getting a pretty large assortment of "subjects" with our new acquisitions? CURRENT COMMENT.

The ootton market opened firm, with near months two to three points lower and far months unchanged to four points higher on a bad sosre of shorts, which grew into a veritable stampede soon after the call. Large New Orleans buying orders and brisk commission house buying, with some bull trade for European account swelled the demand on which August jumped up to 7.79 and January to 7.80. Trade for a time was tre mendously active, with excitement sfi fever heat. Strange to say. July was apathetic and unresponsive through it alL By 10.30 o'clock the worst of the scare seemed over and a turn for Erofits was made. Tet the market eld firm and prices reacted but little. Sentiment was bullish through and through on firm Liverpool cables, a bullish review of the week: by the Chronicle, an abundant stock' of drouth reports from the . central and western belt, talk, of eieht cents for October next weekj higher prices for spot cotton South and fair" weather forecasts for the entire central and western belt over Sunday." The near months in New Orleans were emphat- lcauy strong witn August 5J4 points over the same .options here. - Receipts at the ports were very light.
