New Trust With Capitalization of $30,000,000 TO ROB THE CONSUMER Nearly a Hundred Independent Firms Replaced by Gigantio Combine Mo nopoly Facilitated by Payne-Aldrich Law, Which Raised Duty to 50 Per Cant. Under the shadow of a 60 per cent duty on sweetened biscuits a new bis cult trust has been formed, consisting of from seventy-fire to 100 of the largest bakeries which have up to now been independent of the National Bis. cult company, better Jtnown as the cracker trust The Hew combination is called the Federal Biscuit company, and it is expected Jthat before o$g it will amalgamate TTrtt'h the National Biscuit Company, svlth which it is on the most intimate terms. Thus a com plete monopoly p the fclscjilt trade has practically teen secured, and the prices and conditions of Bale can be arbitrarily fixed. Tbe new trust fcas p. new capitaliza tion of $13,000,000 Ja t pet cent pre ferred stock and $12,000,000 common stock. How much of this of pure water does not appear in the news paper report But we are reliably informed that of the $53,000,000 capi tal of the National . Biscuit company no less than $40,000,000 is water. We do not suppose that the organizers of tbe new trust are less generous to themselves. These enormous capitalizations have some Interest for the consumer. The proHts are to come out of his pocket How the trust schemers went to work to rob the consumer Is a tale that will beur telling. Until the Payne-Aldrich tariff came Into force the duty on all biscuit was 20 per cent ad valorem. This was surely liberal protection for American biscuit manufacturers in view of the fact that their British competitors had to import t!e flour from this country to- ninW the" - biscufw and- pay the freight both ways before they could enter the American market. But the cracker trust and its friends, en thused by dreams of future monopoly prices, went to work and were able to wield sufficient influence with tbe ways and means committee to secure a provision in the new bill increasing the dutjrou sweetened biscuits to 50 per cent" But this is not all. Tbe customs offi cials have Insisted on collecting 60 per cent on unsweetened biscuits as well on the plea that all biscuits were more or less sweetened. Of course under tbe new law tbe importation of bis cuits has greatly fallen off, and the field Is left clear for the monopolists to divide tbe gains. What are the people going to do about it? They complain bitterly of the high cost of living. But here Is an article which enters largely into the dietary of tbe people allowed to be monopolized and made artificially dearer by the sanction of the repre sentatives of the people and under their very eyes. , Blattslts are only flour and water and perhaps a little sugar thrown In. If the trust puts up the prices of biscuits 50 per cent to pay dividends upon its millions of watered stock will nobody move hand or foot in the matter? And will Senator Lodge and his colleagues be permitted to go round the country repeating tbe assertion that the tariff has not raised the cost of living? STANDPATTERS TO THE REAR Recent Elections Afford Littla Com fort to Betrayers of tha People. The men who framed the Payne Aldrich tariff are likely , to get what is coming to them. As for Senator Al drlch. he bad already signified him in tention to seek re-election even before his connection with tbe rubber interests was made public. Calderhead of Kan sas, a member of the bouse committee on ways and means and part author of the measure, has been repudiated in the primary fight Dalzell of Penn sylvania, if the final recount does not show in spite of the munificent cash contributions by tariff beneficiaries, that be has lost the nomination, is pretty certain to be rejected by the people in November. Payne of New York, who has lent his name to the uufortunate piece of legislation, has taken alarm at the Democratic triumph at Rochester a few sMftths ago and has plenty to do to hold his seat by all accounts. McCall of Massachusetts. BouteU of Illinois and Forduey of Michigan, all members of the same committee, are stoutly opposed in their respective con stituencies and will have bard work to hold their seats. Only in two states vis, Pennsylva nia and Ohio hare the Republican state conventions indorsed tbe tariff bill. In Nebraska, Sooth Dakota, Min nesota and Indiana the Republican organisation either Ignored or refused to indorse the tariff, but, on the con trary,' pronounced in favor of the In surgents. And as for Iowa and Kan sas, they have mercilessly trampled on the stand pat banner.. - The low plat form reminds Mr. Taft that "the Re publicans of Iowa are the best judges of the Republicanism of the senators and. representatives whom they send to congress" - and approves as "Repub lican" the "patriotic efforts ef our sen ators to protect the public rights from the greed of special Interests In na tional legistatioa." Better Agricultural Methods? A lot of nonsense is being talked and written by the Republican news papers about "better agricultural methods . belt-interest, of course, prompts every farmer to do every thing that he can to get tbe best crops possible, and no incentive is stronger than self-interest. There are many things that farmers would like to do that events prevent them from doing, and there are things which they do that they wish they bad left undone. It is so in every business and with everyone. If tbe hay bad not been cut this morning, the rain would not have spoiled it: but who is wise enough to tell what the fickle weather will be? If it had rained for weeks in the spring, the cotton and the corn would not have been so weedy; it would have been possible to work it in Beason, instead of having to wait until other crops needed attention. If it had not been for the drought, the crops would have been better; but the farmer is not a rain maker and has to accept the weather that na ture provides. When the people get sick of Be publican policies and corrupt mis rule, some smart Aleck blames it on the farmers, and "the organs" begin to pipe in the same tune and demand "better agricultural methods." , When Insurgents insurge, .the same "organs blame it . on the far mers and insist that they have prospered through Republican leg islation, although they admit the tariff should have been ''more scien tific." ' Some railroad magnate has a model farm where everything that he raises costs twice what it is worth, and even the eggs cost cne dollar per dozen, and he thinks that the farmers should follow his example of "intensive farming." The Agricultural Department experts advise the farmers how to improve their soil and stock, but if their ad vice was followed the farms would need the Treasury of the United States to draw upon and then le quire an urgent deficiency appro priation, as the "experts"often do, to make both ends meet. If the farmer's critics would try their hand at farming, with the present lack of labor and not very efficient at that, they would not carp so much. It is dollars to doughnuts they would admit fail ure, blame it on the land or the weather, and then resume their old occupation of scribbling about what they don't know about farming. The Agricultural Department has just discovered that the far mers ought to raise more potatoes to the acre, and has sent experts to Europe to find out how to do it. What they will learn will be that the climate there is better than here for that sort of crop, aud any Penn sylvania Dutchman could have told them so much without it cost ing a dollar, when they will spend thousands. Other countries are sending ex perts here to discover how we grow cotton, and why it can't be grown as well or better in Africa, Asia or South America. . It is probably a question of climate, for the darkey and the old mule can surely be duplicated in some fashion and there is no great secret in their meandering;. If you have tried farming you will know that it is no picnic, and that through Republican policies all that you have to buy is at trust prices, and .all that you have to sell you must take what some com bine will pay. Yes, it is not all fun being a farmer, nor do they all ride in automobiles, though the Re publican metropolitan organs and tbe funny supplements would try and make us believe that the far mers are bipper fools than are other mortals. The majority report of the select committee of the Senate on wages and prices of commodities which is signed by Senators Lodge, Galling er, McOumber, Smoot and Crawford gives as the first reason for the enormous increase in the cost of living. , "Increased cost of production of farm products by reason of higher I and values and higher wages" The astute Republican politicians who signed that report are evidently ignorant of the most simple laws of political economy, or their purpose was to deceive the Senate and the people of the United States. Dr. Thomas Nixon Garter, professor of political economy in Harvard Un iversity, says of that report: "A student would fail to pass the in. troductory course in economics in Harvard University who would such make blunders as are contained in that report." As to the first cause, Dr. Carter J"L.".- . . "I his is perxecuy ciear case or patting the cart before the horse. Svery student of economics knows that .the high price of - land is not a cause, bat the effect of the high price of farm products. Let the price of farm prodaoti fall to the uaremtaerfttire level and land values will disappear, for the rimple reason that farm land then becomes undesirable property. Let the price or farm products nee still higher, and farm land becomes more de sirable and its price will rise still higher. There is no reason why land should command a high price for farnrng purposes, except a rise in the price of farm products or a fall in the cost of cultivating the land, lo say that farm products are high because land values are high is quite as foolish as saying a tree is tall because its shadow is long." Nearly every other statement made by the Republican Senators is shown to be equally fallacious bj the minority ot the same committee in their report, and the evidence they adduce of its deception is from Republican sources. This ignora- tioelenchi of those Republican law makers throws discredit on all their statements. William T. Vernon, the negro Register of the Treasury, is to have his political head chopped off by President Taft, the Lord High Ex. ecutioner of the Republican party. mere is no charge that Yernon has( nob attended to his duties, but he is' from Kansas, and as his influence proved worthless in that state to stem the Insurgent tide he i to be politically decapitated, and J. G. Napier, a negro of Nashville, Tenn., is to be installed in hisjplace. The appointment of Napier is expected to bring the Tennessee negroes back to their original KeDubucan allegi ance. From this may be adduced that the republican use of . the negro is what can be got out of him politically. The faithfil service of Vernon will not save his political head: ncr will like services of those other negroes who have been ap pointed to Federal offices, unless they can show result) . at the pii- maries and at elections that suit the Republican leaders who use them for their own aggrandizement. An Appalling Evil The appalling evil of vote buying has done our county much damage. It has loweied the moral tone of oar private life to an alarming degree. It is high time we were waking up to this evil. We are glad to believe that some progress has been made in civic purity but there is yet room for improvement, and every good citizen should throw ever; ounce of his influence in favor of political integrity, There is one thing much worse than defeat and that is the debauching of the public conscience.

In Providence township there resides an unassuming man whose statue should be placed in the Hall of Fame for his achievements as a wheat-grower. The man to whom 1 refer is none less than J. Brother Barker whose 1300 bushel crop was threshed by that veteran wheat-thresher J. Thomas Brown. 'Prate Barker raised crop of wheat that would thresh one bushel from each 18 sheaves. One flat north of his barn comprising 6 acres produced 600 shocks of wheat and yielded at the rate of 55 bushels and 33 1-3 pounds per acre. He-is a citizen that by growing more grain on each acre than even before is warding off those dreaded signs," higk prices and unsatisfied stomachs, tokens regarded by other nations as the red-lights or danger- signs of decline and decay.
