FREE FROM FICTITIOUS INITIATION

movement of immigrants and household

strates the value Of the newspaper work

We find out where every car OF house

commence sending papers TO that

results, [ could state that of recent
train of immigrants coming into the
state, consisting OF l5i people, one
family stopped at Dallas, three at Fort
Worth, two at COrsicaua, FIVE TO the
Abilene county and the balance to the
Panhandle. Cue man on being asked
why he went to the Panhandle answered
that from the printed matter he had
been receiving and the exhibits he saw,
he supposed that section of the state was
the ouly place he could farm in, thus
proving that immigrants usually 90 TO
places that invite and reach out for
them. The Texas locality that now
stands still will with sorrow soon see What

SLIDING GRouND.

The s,btreasury scheme has become
a leading iSsuein Georgia politics. The
Alliance movement is quite strong in
that state, and the Georgia planters are
infatuated with the idea that farm
products would make as good basis
for national currency as silver and
gold. Gov. GORDON lisa candidate for the
United States senate, and few weeks
ago there was not the slightest opposi-
ton to him from any quarter. The Atli-
ance and the entire state were solid for
him. But few days ago he made
speech before an Alliance convention
i'll Atlanta, in which he repudiated the
subtreasury plan from beginning to
end. Now the state is in blaze of ex-
element in opposition to GoRDoS's
election, and the governors friends adj
nit that he has put his foot into it. His
home organ, the Atlanta Constitution,
comedies that the governor made a mis-
take, and that unless he changes
base on the subtreasury scheme
he will be floored. This is
fair illustration of the earnest
ness of the American farmer to
get together in protection of the agri-
cultural interests. Personally Gov.
GORDON is the most popular man in tue
South, yet his popularity is not sufficient
to stand against the Alliance tide. Gov.
MERRIAM is experiencing the same
difficulty in the northern portion of this
state. where he is now stumping. His
home organ, the Pioneer Press, is grind
ing out daily obituaries on the Alliance
party, yet the governor himself is being
dazed by the tremendous and over
powering strength of the movement,
which is sweeping away the Republican
foundations. He is even afraid to open
his mouth against the Alliance party or
its candidates, and contents himself
with abusing honest old Tom WILSON.
1t is poor solace for the wound he has
received from this Alliance movement,
but it is the only thing in reach. 1t is
an occasion when the Democratic COVER
nor of Georgia and the Republican
governor of Minnesota ought to clasp
hands in friendly sympathy.

THE Tw1NE MONOPOLY,

We print an Interesting document in
this issue of the GLOBE; at least, it will
be interesting to the farmers, and mat
ter of sufficient interest to attract the
notice of all the Taxpayers of the state.
We allude to the letter addressed to
Gov. MERRIAM from r. j. HALL, the
president of the Farmers Alliance, rel
alive to the binding Irvine machinery
that has been purchased for the Still
water prison. The letter explains
itself.
The first proceedings on the part
of the state authorities with regard
to the establishment of a Irvine fac
tory in the state prison were of such
suspicious nature that the officers of
the Farmers Alliance decided to make
an investigation on their own account,
which resulted in exposures that led to
the suspicion that the prison board were
playing into the hands of the Irvine
trust. 1t struck us as little peculiar
at the time that. when the governor had
fually decided to put in Irvine maehin-
cry at Saltwater on the recommends
ton of the Alliance officers. he should
have committed the work to prison
board who had proved themselves to be
hostile to the undertaking; and we took
occasion to say so at the time. Irvine
making was an experiment that ought
to have had fair trial, for its success
means good many thousand dollars
into the pockets of our Minnesota farm
ers. Mr.. HALLS letter would indi-
cate that there is predetermined pur-
pose on the part of Gov. MERRIAaI's
prison board to make the experiment a
failure, and thus continue are to give the
Irvine trust a monopoly of the business.
If this be so, it is an outrage which ought
not to be submitted to by the farmers
of this state.

TRUST METHODS.

Recent lists of trusts compiled indi-
cate thrifty alertneSs in covering the
fields opened up to them by their pro-
lection friends. Where the new tariff
gives them chance in any additional
line they are quickly improving it. In
the last year and half there have been
over fifty of these combinations formed.
and it is difficult now to discover any
line of manufacturing that has the bene-
fit of high tariff protection that is not
operated by trust. The withdrawal
of the tariff would dissolve more than
three-fourths of them. They, however.
feel that the senate will be their citadel
and preServer from all popular tempests.
Since the accession of the MCKINLEY
party to control, the methods of the
trusts have changed. They were be-
fore that mutual associations, much
like the committees of parties. lacking
the solidity and conference of legal for
mulas. Now they are being made corpor-
ations under the laws found convenient
in Illinois. Kentucky, New Jersey, and,
perhaps. some other states. There may
be 60 or 100 mills engaged in the man
facture of one line of goods. The plant
of each is appraised at high figures and
stock issued to cover this. Tue capital
iZation for the corporation will be the
aggregate of the 60 or 100 valuations
doubled. That is, the stock issued to
each will represent more than twice the
real value of the plants. The scheme
is the same as with the railroad combi-
nations where the stock is watered one
half or more. The rates charged the
public must be sufficient to meet fair
looking dividends upon tine entire drop
steal formation. If the plants are put
in at an aggregate appraisement of
Sl0,00O.00p. the stock will represent
S20.000.000. The 10 per cent dividend will
really be 20per cent upon the investment.
The several mills and plants remain
In the hands of the parties who owned
then,and will continue to operate them,
unless required to close up in order to
reduce the supply of goods and keep up
the prices. Dividends are paid upon
the stock just the same, whether the
factories are operated or not. 1t may
be insisted by the captious that thes e
are conSpiracies to control the market
and rob the consumer. This statement
will involve no distortion of the fact.
Yet 1t is the legitimate outcome of the
high tariff policy. Competition from
abroad is obviated, and the possession
of the home market secured. The con-
iding public is aeeced, the development
of production checked, the wages of
labor kept at the lowest point, and the
simple-minded public duped and kept
supporting the party that makes this
system SO successful.

it would receive an Endorsement from
the people of that district by re-elec-

uproar of laughter provoked by this re-
mark convinced MIR. MCKINLEY that he
had made mistake, and on inquiry
he learned that the district is now rep
resented by staiwart Democrat. who

fall in prices was due to gradual
liquidation of enormous accounts for
the rise which came into exist
ence, partly owing to exaggerated
notions which prevailed earlier in the
year as to the effect of the American
silver act and partly to the activity in
trade, which encouraged operators to
hold quantity of securities in the be-
lief that the public would sooner or
later wish to buy. This calculation
failed because OF too many thus holding
