Another Combine.

Now we have the jute trust, COM
bine which has so far secured control
of the bagging manufacture of the
country as to control the whole bag
ging market. It has thus the cotton
producing section at its mercy and
proceeds to advance the price of the
article it makes so as to afford an ad-
ditional clear profit at the expense Of
the cotton producers of A cents a
yard. There is no scarcity of raw
material, it is reported, to justify the
increase. The combine simply has
obtained the power to extort for its
products an additional profit of II
cents a yard and it proceeds to use
that power "for all it is worth" that
is to say to the utmost extent the
people in their majesty will permit it
to be used.
1t is the type of many similar COM
bines, as we have learned to our sor.
row, each Selling on some necessary
article and putting the price of it
where it pleases-which is the utmost
point of extortion the public will
stand--and keeping it there to it's own
inordinate profit and the measurable
impoverishment of the masses of the
people. These leeches on the body
polite are development of the Re-
publican policy of high protection
They are the legitimate outcome of
the system which pampers, under the
pretence of protecting, the few at the
expense of the many. Without the
cloak afforded by such favoritism
sstrusts" as we understand them to-
day would be impossible, Were every
tub permitted to stand on it's own
bottom, while, at the same time, no
legitimate interest, industrial OF
otherwise, were left to suffer where
legislation could prevent such an
end, there would be nothing heard Of
trusts and combines such as now like
huge monsters bestride the country
and consume all the profits that
legitimately belong to the producer,
the laboring-man, the wage-worker
and the artisan. The natural fruits
of the Republican system are now
being seen in these vast aggregations
of capital that buy up SO many OF
the prime necessities of the land and
control the price thereof without re-
gard to the ability of the people to
pay, but on the contrary, with sole
reference to the increase of the profits
they enjoy to point beyond all pre-
eedent and out of all reason.

BUFFALO. Oct 12.-Over a bushel of
partly destroyed letters addressed to bust
ness firms in this city were found on the
streets this morning rified of all the con-
tents that could be turned into money.
1t seems evident that the letters were
stolen by some one connected with the
post office. One New York draft of $3.50
was found in the middle of the street torn
In two. Many of the letters are scorched,
showing that the thief tried to burn them
but was frustrated by the rain storm.
A later dispatch says the perpetrator
has been arrested. He is a night clerk
in the Office named John Shields.

Marcus Reno attempted to commit suicide
here last night. He placed a revolver in
his mouth and was about to pull the trig-
ger when a friend grasped the weapon
and prevented him. The cause of the at
tempt is attributed to domestic trouble,
and it is believed he was crazed by drink.
A few days ago an order of the court was
issued directing him to pay $50 a month
for his wife's support. He has told
friends that his income was hardly that
much. He now threatens to kill his wife
and himself and he is being closely
watched.

but L am here to say in the light of these
claims, In the light of these facts, in the
light of the attitude of the Republicans in
congress and out of congress, that the
report of the majority of the senate COM
mlttee and the presentation of any bill
whatever by them is a confession of judg-
ment in favor OF all the positions taken by
President Cleveland and the Democratic
party in December last. Applause.
The Democratic party in this campaign
is fighting the selfish of the country on
behalf of the masses OF the people.
lCheers. Why, we have heard this
same cry made before that if the tariff
was changed all the business interests of
the country would be injured, Let me
give you an illustration. About twelve
years ago there was a demand that hides
should be put upon the free list. The
tanners objected. Congress finally placed
this article on the free list and the result
has been that your tanning interests have
been increased. They haye prospered as
never before and we are exporting more
leather to-day than ever before in the his
tory of this country.
What is true in reference to this one
article Is true, as we think, in reference
to others. The same arguments, my
friends, which were urged then against "a
reduction of tariff taxation are urged
now, and the same arguments which they
urge now can be urged five years from
now, in ten years from now and in fftee D
years from now. They we're unsound
then, they are unsound now.
Governor Hill said he was happy to in
form Indiana Democrats that the vote of
the Empire state would be given to Cleve-
land and Thurman in November. That
there would be no mistake this time in
the size of the majority. The people
there were aroused to the question of the
hour. A national congress had legislated
in the interests of the classes and in the
interests of m%onopolies long enough. 1t
is now proposed to do something for the
interests of the people.
L notice, said Governor Hill, that the
distinguished gentleman from Maine, who
is now in this state, is telling the people
that all their prosperity is due to high
protective tariff. This is simply nothing
more nor less bar claptrap and 1t will not
deceive the intelligent people of this
state. Voices: Never"
Governor Hill closed his speech with
an eloquent tribute to the late Thomas A.
Hendricks.
At 8 O'Clock the party left Mitchell, en-
route to Indianapolis. Short stops were
made at Seymour and Columbus and
Governor Hill made short speeches.

Washington dispatch: The lard hear
mo was resumed before the house com
mittee on agriculture. Representative
officials of Fairbanks & Go. testified ~
length. defending refined lard as pure
wholesome food product. Prime steam
lard had been shown to he so yuiner"nio
that further attacks upon 1t became ui'-
necessary to prove its inferiority wheu
compared with refined lard. Mliliam
Bartle, an ex-packer OF ST. Louis con
timed his testimony. He repeated the
statement that in most OF the mchlhs
houses smothered hogs, pregnant soWs
and hogs suffering from cholera Were
used unfortunately with good moss "a
make prime steam lard. lie thouSm
tLe investigation ought TO begin a. tht
root of the matter, and show from what
truck the retiner was eompeled 70 iilaAe
his refined lard, owing to the preSa
lence of disease among hoSs AZ the
stock wards. He could, as pork PACK,
er and experienced farmer, verify an
the statements he had heard about the
manufacture of prime steam lard. lie
had only gone out OF the business
because lie could not pursue
il longer and deal honestly
When lie was in business he necessarily
packed cholera hogs because they Were
mixed with other hogs. lie had cut
hogs into hams, etc, know ng them TO
be diseased, just as every other packer
did. The meat of cholera hog was not
poisonous. One of the crying evils OF
the time was the shipping of diseased
hogs and pregnant sows to market by
farmers. He was in favor OF law
which would prevent a packer from us
ing cholera hogs. The man would I'M
mortalize himself who would frame leg'
islation which would prevent retiners
and packers from acting improperly in
the manufacture of food products.
Witness stated out of carload Of sixty
animals the number Of bores, stays and
pregnant sows would sometimes be
none, but at times would run from five
to twenty head. He did not think a
farmer had any guilty knowledge Of the
use to which his diseased hogs were
put.
