Kalamazoo, July 15.-Recent heavy
rains have saved the raspberry and

Another Trust.

The renewal of price cutting in cof-
fee, as the fight between the coffee
trust and the sugar trust goes merri-
ly on, calls attention to the fact that
there has been a coffee trust as well
as sugar trust. Or at least the price
of coffee has been controlled" even
more absolutely than the price of sugar.
The interesting point is that coffee is
not touched by the tariff. We have,
therefore, a combination of capital, or
combinations of capital, TO control the
price of an article that is not "fostered"
icy the tariff. II is a favorite thing
with free trade papers to lay the sugar
trust TO the tariff duty. AS a matter
of fact a duty is not necessary for the
formation of trust. AS Senator Alli-
son said, simply because three-fifths OF
the sugar is controlled by the trust is
no reason why the government should
abandon it's protective policy. BY pro-
tecting American sugars we may hope
to develop our own sugar industry, and
we will do so. But the coffee trust is
complete answer TO the charge that
the tariff is responsible for trusts, for
the tariff does not touch coffee.-Iowa

SO great reduction, but thinks it was
all done for the best and could not be
