Republicans aud Trusts.
Farmers have been consistcn,ly and
persistentiy opposed to trusts. This hos
tiiiy has been exaggerated in tlic voci-
ferrous and sweeping dciliincintions, of
trusts by the PopulisiS. The farmers Of
tlis country arc well aware that there

quite controlling the production and vale
OF certain articles to their sure and lib
efnl profit have nevertheless. by reason
OF tue economies OF the aggregation Of
capital, the employment Of best talent m
smirec,ing. and Of producing and hand
ling large quantities. Made the prices of
tie articles to the CONSUMERS less fhnn

TINS country believe that the princinles
underlying trusts arc wrong and That Ia
