Trust Or No TrdSf.
An Appeal to Tobacco
Growers.

1t matters not whether the trust
or the antitrust wins. The fact
remains that tobacco growers do
not receive fair living price for
their crops. They have heretofore
bad no say in liking the price ex-
cept the costly mcthGd of rejecting
sales. Forty thousand ho%shead-
Of tobacco in LnUi;viile alone are
annually rejected. This costs you
$4,000. Why NOT send three of
your number 20 atterd the daily
sales aud whenever the average
price is below cost OF production
authorize theiI ~ stop The sales rs
refusing To pat up your tobacco
until the dsinund viii justify an
advance in price? Your travelling
expenses in attending your individ-
ual sales would more than pay the
com nissionera. Will you do this?
Will you agree to pay 8 cents per
hid. Tor refusing to put up your
tobacco instead of paying the
warehousemen $3.50 for rejecting
it? Will you assemble yourselves
on the third Monday in Novemb Der
next at your county seats and APP
point delegates to a State conven-
ton to select men tn attend to this
business for you? Will you sign
this agreement, to-wit: II hereby
agree to place the selling of my to-
bacco in the hands of the Commits
sioners to be selected by the State
convention of tobacco growers to
be held in Louisville on the fourth
Monday in November, 1898, and to
allow them five cents for each hogs
head of tobacco sold above the av-
erage cost of production to be de-
termined by the State Convention"
Will you sign this and stick to it?
There will be sold in Louisville
alone not less than 100000 bids. of
the 1898 crop. The average cost
of tins is not less than s cents per
pound. Unless you do something to
protect your interests it will not
average more than six cents. This
means loss to YOU of the enor-
nous sum of THREE MILLION Dol
LARS on one crop of tobacco. Can
you stand this? AT 5 cents commits
sion on each hid. the cost would be
only SEVEN THOUSAND FIVE Hun
DRIED DOLLARS. What is this COM
pared to $3,OOO,00O? Your Commits
sioners should be on the breaks BY
the first of December next. IL you
are compelled to realize on your
crop you could use your warehouse
receipts as collateral and borrow
money until your tobacco is sold.
This you could well afford to do
rather than suffer loss of $4,000
900 by a forced sale on an over
stocked market or market without
competition. The present report
that "THE COMBINE is BUSTED" is all
bosh. The same report was clrcu-
lated just before the July conven-
ton. Heed it not. To control the
price of both the raw material and
the manufactured goods offers the
manufacturers an opportunity of
making millions of dollars at the
of the producers and con
sumers which is too enticing for
them long to resist. Will you con-

TEXAS has adopted queer law
permitting the pensioning of ex-
Confederate soldiers. 1t is in the
form of an amendment to the State
constitution and is applicable to
the ex-Confederates residing in the
State prior to 1880. As there are
about $4,000 ex-Confederates who
have become citizens of Texas since
1880 it operates to permit them to
be taxed, without deriving any ben
