MiLLERS TO COMBINE.
A Meeting in Chicago for the Purpose OF
Keeping Up Prices.

A Meeting in Chicago for the Purpose OF
Keeping Up Prices.
CHICAGO, May 6.-Flour is to follow
oil, beef and wheat in a plunge foi
higher prices if certain millers have
their way. the United Miller's associ-
alton was to have held a conference in
Chicago. Representatives of milling
industries in Minneapolis, Milwaukee,
Buffalo aud Rochester were to have
been here and an attempt made to limit
production, secure control of the spring
wheat crop and force prices higher.
Present prices, the millers claim, are
too low Tor any profit. The meeting
was not held in the hotel parlor en-
gagged for it, but it is said the i've
ton came off in the Chicago offices of
II of the companies interested.
Doubt If 1t Can BE Done.
Chicago traders doubt if any combi-
nation having its head III Minneapolis
could secure sufficient spring wheat to
shut out from production the mills
which are not in the combine, but an
official of the board of trade said that
wheat would be 70 cents by June 1,
and that in itself would advance flour
to 81 a barrel without a combine. The
organization, if perfected, would, it is
estimated, directly control 80 mills, in
directly 100 more and have some 200,
600, 900 bushels of spring wheat to keep
out Of the hands of the spectators and
II, $50 other mills not in the combine.

l have come and the world shall be shaken
Like reed, at the touch of my rod.
And the Kingdoms of Time shall awaken
To the Voice and the summons of God.
No more through the din of the ages
Shall warnings and chidings divine
From the lips of my Prophets and Sages,
Ye have stolen my lands and nv cattle
Ye have kept back from labor it's need
Ye have challenged the outcasts to battle
When they plead at your feet in their
need;
And when clamors of hunger grew louder
And the multitudes prayed to be fed
Ye have answered with prisons of powder
The cries of your brothers for bread
l turn from your affairs and arches,
And the hooking of steeples and domes.
To join in the long weary marches
OF the ones We have robbed of their homes:
l share in the sorrows and crosses
OF the naked, the hungry and cold,s
And dearer to me are their losses
Than your gains and your idols Of gold
l will laugh at your dungeons and locks.
The tyrant shall yield to the toiler
And your judges eat grass like the OK;
For the prayers of the poor have assembled
To be written in lightnings on high,
And the walls of your captives have blended
With the bolts that must leap from the
sky.
And the prisoner and serf shall 20 free

On the borders of blue Galilee,-
For come not alone, and a stranger
Lo! my reapers will sing through the

Many Of the contributions to the
Forum are too long. In the future we
must insist that they be made shorter.
Most of them could be condensed into
600 words. If this is done it will en-
able the REPRESENTATIVE to print
more and a greater variety. Here
after the shorter letters will be
given preference. Write them on one
side of the paper only. If written on
both sides they will not be printed un-
der any circumstances.
Write them plainly and with ink.
Do not crowd the lines closely to-
gether. A plainly written letter con-
forming to these rules will stand by far
fthe best chance to be printed.
Within certain proper limitations
we admit the widest liberty Of thought
(and expression upon the part of our
correspondents, while we do not hold
ourselves responsible for any views
which may bk put forth.
. The Forum. as its name implies, is a
sort Of debating school, for the discus
sion Of the important questions Of the
day. We ask our correspondents to
avoid abusive personalities and to
keep clear of the shoreless and bottom
less sea Of religious debate. II ED. :

To the Representative:
There is need of, and there must arise

load Of political corruption everywhere
disgrace, the new party must be built
upon the foundation of strictest integ-
rity. This can never be accomplished
while our leading reformers are imbued
with the state and national paternal de-
fusion. 1t is no part of the duty of the
state or national governments to assume
the responsibility of insuring to the peo-
pie the price of farm products, the
wages to the labOring classes, or profit
to capitalists. The government should
be administered without regard to either
class further than to define their rela-
ton to each, other and to impose the least
possible burdens on the whole people
All our social and business troubles arise
from the fanatical delusion that it makes
no difference what salaries public Off
Gals receive, the state and national gov
eminent foots the bill. If the American
people could only be brought to realize
that the government and the people are
one and the same thing, and that to
plumber the public treasury is to rob the
people, they would arise and go through
our civil service like western cyclone.
.wiping out and uprooting the damnable
heresies which have grown up under the

very essence of fanaticism to expect pros

regarded as legitimate spoils belonging to
the victors. A new party on platform

outside. In one straw found bright,
shiny egg, so very little it could not have
been the fiftieth part of an inch. could
not see it except with a matchmaker S

eral countries. It would seem, to take
a glance at our tariff laws, as II the farm
er was protected on some things, but I
believe the tariff is double jointed and
no matter which way it seems to lean,
it invariably leans toward the rings,
monopolies and trusts and the poor
farmer catches 1t both ways. It would
seem when the farmer feeds the world,
he ought to be able to live and live we'll.
But today many are merely existing;
they ought to be dead but they walk
about saving funeral expenses; and they
still vote for the G. 0. P.

something is hurting them, but they
won't believe what they can see for them

THE TARIFF ON BARLEY, AND "THE

To The Representative:
l noticed tariff article the other day
which said the farmer while paying
about 500 tariff tax, received S. protec-
ton on barley, eggs, wool, etc. My idea
on barley is this
Mr.. Brewer is in ring which sets the
price of our barley regardless He wishes
to buy some Canadian barley, he sends
to Canada for it, pays a price and Che
duty. Next he wishes some Minnesota
barley. he remembers paying that duty
and he pays the Minnesota farmer the
same price, minus that duty; that comes
out of the Minnesota. farmers pocket
Now compare prices before the Mckinley
law and during the action of said law
and see if it doesn't look remarkably that
way. Perhaps some one may be able to
state correctly the Canadian foreign pri-
ces as compared with the American, as
this is mostly theory, but you can't coax
me to believe the farmer is protected in
