The Latest Trust Idea.

We published yesterday from the Chi
cago Times-Herad an article outlining
a proposed farmers trust, started at Ian
caster, Pa, and incorporated under the
laws of New Jersey. It's purpose is the
absolute control of all the farm products,
including cattle and stock, of the United
States. Production is to be dictated by
governing boards, which are to name what
crops the farmers may produce and the
prices at which they may sell. Great
warehouses are to be erected, in which
stocks of grain, ETC., are to be stored.
The machinery of the enterprise is to be
under the direction of county boards. and
state boards and national board. When
the trust has secured its corner upon all
of the eatables in the country, those who
buy are to be compelled to pay the price
fixed upon by the various boards. II they
decline to pay, through necessity or other
wise, they are, presumably. to be per-
mitted to starve to death.
The scheme is, of course, a matter OF
moonshine. The date fixed for the trust
TO begin operations is a year or two hence
BY that time the scheme will have been
forgotten, unless perchance some plausi-
BILE demagogues plant it in certain hot
beds in which the sub-treasury scheme
formerly fiourished. In that manner IL
might be kept alive locally in a few iso-
lated districts.
But there will be no considerable ac-
ceptance of the scheme. The farmers
have got enough Of chasing shadows. Be
sides, the trust is wholly repugnant to the
American farmers idea of social economy
They are always 20 be found allied ir
opposition to trusts, except in instances
where they are hoodwinked by specious
arguments into voting the republican
ticket.
An illustration proving the impossibility
OF forming a farmers trust is to be found
in the matter Of the cotton crop. There
have been repeated and persistent efforts
made to induce the farm6fs Of the south
to control the'cotton market by reducing
acreages and holding cotton. But has any
such effort ever succeeded? Have the
wheat farmers ever decreased acreages
and controlled the markets? The questions
carry their own answers. And they seem
to dispose Of the scheme under consider.

In a London Omnibus.

Elm all my life never felt so mortified
and at the same time so exasperated with
the stupidity of a man as did with the
driver of a London omnibus" said Miss

congratulating myself upon my ability to
take care of myself. my heart sank To

name of the hotel. 1 racked my brains
but the name wouldn't come back to me.
1 saw a friendly policeman, and to him
told my troubles. He called over a hun

list Then he tried to get out of me the
location of the house, but of that 1 had
only vague idea. / described It as best

bus would take me in the vicinity of the

the passengers: There's a lady inside

Il suppose l blushed, for everybody in
the bus looked at me, and felt like sink

The famous Bazin roller steamboat, IN
France, which was expected to revoiH-
tionize maritime architecture, is not
success. At the first trial the engines
were not powerful enough, and their
strength was trebled. Then it was found
that the extra weight taken on immersed
the boat too deeply, and the wheels. in
stead of revolving thirty times a minute
revolved only ten times. In place of the
speed of thirty miles an hour. which was
calculated upon, the speed obtained was
about six miles an hour. The rollers
threw up such quantities of water he
hind them that 1t acted like brake.
Rubber attachments are now being put on
the wheels TO scrape the water off. 1t
looks as though folks would be obliged
to content themselves with screw steam
ers for a while longer.

From the New York Journal of Commerce
and Commercial Bulletin (Non-Par).

The tariff question has been brought to
the bar of commercial opinion, uneolored
by party sentiment, and without the spe-
cious disguise of political necessity. 1t
has for the first time to stand on its own
merits and be examined, first, as TO its
relation to revenue. and. second, as TO its
bearing on the future industry. The ex-
perience OF the last two years has dis
PEELED a good many illusions which people
entertained In regard to the working Of a
low tariff system. No very large body OF
voters is deceived by the audacious pre-
text that reduced customs duties were the
cause OF the hard times, and the proper
tion is still smaller who are ready Co ac-
cept the fanaticai assurance that return
10 a system OF high duties is all that is
needed for the restoration OF prosperity.
There is very real danger that under such
measure as the Dingley bin we may
neither have more revenue nor better
business The ordinary man Is beginning
10 perceive that as clearly as the expert.
and the protest OF business men against
this contemplated act OF legislative folly
Is thus very likely 20 be echoed with
quite unexpected degree Of yigor.

has answered the mooted question with

Writing to the Ladies' Home Journal, he
says: ITO any vocation from which a
man may be called to the presidency, he
may suitably return" That is to say, all
honorable occupations are open to him,
and that he sacrifices neither his own
