The House Committee on Agriculture,
which has entered into an Investigation OF
the trusts, hiss taken q whaek at the oil
men. Little that the p ople do not already
know, has been thus far brought out The
testimony taken hears ont thu conclusion
generally arrived at regarding the combina-
tions in question, namely, that their cen
trail purpose is to limit production, and,
By so doing, to control prices. IL seems
that 10 come cases even the workmen en-
gagged in oil production have been paid
something as compensation for losses
arising from a shutdown, the payment
being based upon the profits upon
given number Of barrels of oil.
An agreement Of this nature was en-
tered into between the Producers Associa-
ton and the Oil Well Drillers' Union. On
the part of the Producers Association it
was asserted that that body was formed as

the Standard Oil Company, bat it was
shown that it was finally obliged to enter

A REBUKE TO IN6ALLIsM.

The Grand Army Rerieg, monthly
publication, issued in the interest Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic, 10 its last
number rebukes in strong terms that rank
partisan and indecent slanderer Of the
honored dead, INGALLS,, of Kansas. The
RerietV says:
With political phases We have nothing
to do; but We do have, in common with
all who love their country and helped fight
to make it hcnorabls among the nations Of
the earth, the right to protest that the
Senate chamber is not the place for such
discussions, and We 20 farther: no man
who fought on the side of treason, unless
be Is degenerate, unless his accepts the new
order of things in good faith as the results
of war, should hold o seat in the upper
councils of the nation. His presence other
wise is living lie to his obligation, q
stencil in the nostri!s Of the people. And,
on the other hand, no man who fought on
The Union side, who still honors the
nation he fought Tor and respects its insti-
tutions, should stoop from his high estate
to cast reflections fitted, not for soldier
but BLACKBOARD, on the executive head
Of tho Government, and even enter the
grave to defame the memory Of dead COM
rades-and such comrades
But one was found go mean and coz
temptible, so welded to party, so lost to
shame as 10 forget his citizenship aud do
both, in the person of Senator John J. H.
gals, Of Kansas. We let the record speak
for him.
After quoting INGALLS, nasty fling at
the President the RerieE says:
The gall and wormwood. bitter as it IS
toward the chosen executive head OF the
nation, shown in the venom Of the above
language, was disgusting to every true
lover Of his country.
The RerieS then quotes INGALLS, attack
upon the memories of MCCLELLAN and
HANCOCK, and exClaims:
Dat upon you for q ibeller Of our dead,
the latchet OF the shoes OF either of whom
in life you were unworthy to loose Go !!
We disOwn you
Senators Blair, Bowen, Davis, Hawley,
MandersOn and SpOOner, comrads all did

have made sacred require, at ycur hands,
not those of Senator Blackburn, vindica-
ton against such unjust aspersions upon
Mcclellan, tie organizer, and Hancock,
ever the superb?
The spirit that animates these utter
ances Of the Grand Army Rerie'r IS OF the
right sort and is as far above the contempt
IDLE chuIlishnesS OF INGALLS, as hero IS
above q cur. If more of tie same were
manifested by the leading men Of the
Grand Army, the danger of that organizs'
ton being wrecked by the demsgogues
and blatherskites, who are now in the
ascendercy in its eouussls-hy its FAIR
CHILDs, its TUTrLEs. its FoRAKERs -
would be much lessened.

Iris common assumption among pro-
teetionists that the people OF England are
wildly desiIous of the adoption by this
country of free trade policy. 1t might
be argued by free traders that the greater
the trade between two countries the better
for both. and that therefore the English
people would naturally wish for the aboli-
ton of the American tariff. Minister
PHELPS, however, declares that they DO
not and thst they are afraid Of it. He
slys that, whereas the English workman
at a machine expects 10 live and die IN the
situation in which lie finds himself, the
corresponding workman in Ameries hopes
to advance and is constantly plotting and
experimenting with that end in view.
Minister PHELPS says that the Eoglish
people are afraid of this very spirit and
dread lest, under free trade policy, Amer
lean competition should drive them from
the markets of the world. The we'll known

Pine Straw Bageing Free.


The sensation of the day is the pine straw
bagging, described elsewhere in this paper. 1t
is made by only one mill at present, though
dozen factories have ordered machinery to be-
gin making it. 1t is perfect success, and if
it stands all the tests will make a market for
pine straw that is now waste.
1t is clearly the duty of every southern
farmer to help introduce pine straw bagging,
1t win make the south independent OF bagging
trusts it will utilize the waste product, and
will enable us to make at home what we now
spend So, 100000 to get.
The CONSTITUTION, which has led the
farmers fight against the bagging trust, wants
to spread pine straw baggng over the south.
We believe that in that way the fight can be
permanently whipped. We have, therefore,
bought from the Acme mills three thousand
yards of pine straw bagging which we intend
to distribute among the farmers of the south
free, freight prid. Here is the plan:
We will send any Alliance in the
south that will send us twenty-five
subscribers, at one dollar each,
twenty-five yards Of pine straw bag
ging, which will pack four bales of
cotton. Any Alliance that sendsus
fifteen subscribers, at one dollar
each, will receive twelve yards of
pine straw bagging, and any Al
lance that sends us ten subscribers,
at one dollar each, will receive seven
yards of bagging, freight paid, which
is enough to pack one bale. Re
member the terms
% Subscribers. at 500 each, gets % yards Of
pine straw bagging.
Is Subscribers, at s1.00 each, gets II yards OF
pine straw bagging.
10 Subscribers, at S1.00 each, gets Z pards Of
pine straw bagging.
This bagging comes free and
freight paid, and costs you not a
cent.
Now think OF this offer. There is not an
alliance in the south that cannot, at its next
meeting, get us twenty-five subscribers at one
dollar each and it will then receive immedi-
ately twenty-five yards of pine straw bagging.
This offer Is open to everybody and is not con-
fined to alliances alone. Any man who will
send US ten subscribers, at one dollar each
will receive seven yards of bagging free and
freight paid.
See the effect of this. If an alliance in each
county will send a club, in less than thirty
days we viii have pine straw bagging exam
ined and tried in every county in the south,
and cotton baled with it sold in every southern
market. The experiment will thus be perfect
and in less than six months we will have pine
straw factories in every state. working up pine
straw and knocking the stufting out of the
bagging trust. Get up your clubs at once and
send in. The Acme mills write us that thew
are refusing orders every day, and that they
have sold US three thousand yards simply be-
cause we propose to distribute the bagging
throughout the south in small quantities SO as
to give it a general trial and beat the bagging
truts.
