The Barbed wire Fight.
The Farmers Protective association Of Iowa
has issued an address to its patrons declaring
its purpose to continue the contest with the
barbed wire monopoly and clos
ing with the following statement Of its success
in manufacturing wire:
As = financial investment, the result thus
far has been satisfactory. Before we began to
furnish wire to our members the retail price
had been established by the monopoly at 10
cents per pound for painted wire and l cents
for galvanized There is ne reason to believe
that these prices would have been reduced IL
we had not attacked the combination in their
most vulnerable point Our association has
ton in the manufacture. the same quality Of
tarbed wire can aud will be sold for cents
per pound less than the monopoly priceA
The total expense Of our association FOR a.
torney's fees, securing evidence and contin-
gent expenses, amount to apou So, 500. Tho
pound on 27O, 900 pounds furnished them
amounts to 81, ,425, more than double the total
cost Of the association while the indirect saving
by bringing down the price of the monopoly wire
to those who did not buy Of 10 has been many
times this amount
