American Economist: There are
now beginning to appear in the cutlery

ticle on each of which is stamped

large dealer in cutlery, in discussing
this effect Of the bill, said yesterday
that the market had been flooded with

St. Cloud Journal Press: The

cided to locate nc Little Falls, the

Saturday. The syndicate has pur-

erect the coming summer another mill

feet Of lumber each season. It is high

WEYERHAUSER SYNDICATE
Prom tic st. Pau, Globe.
The removal Of Frederick Weyer-
hauser from Eau Claire to St. Paul,
and the establishment of tho milling
industries belonging to himself and his
associates on the. upper Mississippi are
important movements in the industrial
history Of the city and state. A
syndicate including Mr.. Weyer-
hauser, the members Of the Muser
Lumber company, Mr.. Laird and Mr..
Morton, Of Winona, and others, have
purchased all the timber on land trib-
utary to the Mississippi which belong
ed to the Northern Pacific Railroad
company. This is estimated to
amount to about 300,OOO,OOOfeet. They
propose at once to establish a mill of an
annual capacity Of 100000 feet at
Little Falls, III this state, and under
their contract with the railroad COM
pany, are required to build another in
the immediase future, or at least half
that size, at Brainerd. The energy,
and capital Of these men have given
them control Of the lumber interests
Of Wisconsin 70, good many years
and their entrance in our state, it is
generally admitted, will be followed
by concentration into their hands Of
the milling business Of the upper Mis-
sissippi. They have great capacity
for acquiring property, and will reach
out until the vast track of forest to
the north are all in their possession.
This means a tremendous increase in
these industries and the growth Of the
towns of considerable size in the north
ern counties, and especially along the
river. The mills at the various points
which have been shut down will grad
uslly reopen, and the monopoly which
Minneapolis has enjoyed in the field
will at least be disputed, All this
will probably be accompanied by
some railroad building to connect the
new milling towns directly with the
prairie country to the southwest. The
pine of Minnesota will compete with
the products Of the Southern forests
in Kansas and Nebraska, and the
plants and laborers from the depleted
Wisconsin streams will transfer them-
selves to our borders. 1t is rather
difficulty to predict with accuracy the
complete effect Of all these things:
but they mean more capital in Min
nesota, a great business activity.
Both Of these will be good for the state
and great jobbing center like St.
Paul cannot fail to profit by them,
In any event, the addition of Mr..
Weyerhauser himself to the number
of our citizens is great gain, because
it means one more very able and pub
lic-spirited men.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: The
size o. the crop is the thing that de-
termines the size Of the prices. There
is demand for a certain amount of
farm products from year to year,
and the prices raise or fall as the sup
ply sinks below or goes beyond this
demand. The theorists may talk as
much as they please about other infu-
ences, Tut the question is at last only
one Of quantity The world must
have 50 many bushels Of grain per
year, and it will pay therefore simply
so much as it is obliged to, consider
the available surplus. There is no
process Of legislation by which addi-
tional sale can be forced when the de.
mand has once been supplied; it is
not III the power of congress to COM
pei purchasers to take more than they
want, or to give more than they are
willing to pay. The fact that the
crops of given year is in excess of
the measure Of consumption cannot
be concealed. 1t is known every
where, and the prices are adjusted
accordingly. When the crops is short
the same rule applies, and the markets
are correspondingly affected. If the
farmers could manage to produce only
enough each year to meet the demand
they would always obtain just and
fair prices. 1t is over production, in
other words, that puts prices down
for them, and they cannot expect to
have prices kept up for them under
such circumstances by any sort Of ar
t6cja force. =" -. s'.. Sc '@ -
