plan for the work OF the sub-commissionG

It's order for the appointment Of special
commissions to investigate the Elevator
Trust and the mining industry west OF thu
Mississippi river. The decision OF the
regular commission Is to sit during Au-
gust.
The Agricultural Commission will take
up the elevator question. going TO the

affecting mining in that district The lat

James Barrett, vice-president of the
Georgia State Agricultural Society. was
the only witness before the commission
to-day. He spoke upon the agricultural
conditions OF the South, saying that they
were worse to-day than they had evef
been in the history of the country. He
said the cotton interest was especially
depressed. the price last year amounting
TO only little over cents a pound. At
this price a man could not save HIMSELF
If he paid wages amounting TO more than
81 a month. Planters generally pay about
81 a month for wages, and ~ such rate
they could not prevent loss, IL they re-
celved less than cents per pound.
MERCHANTS GETTING THE LAND.
Mr.. Barrett said that nine-tenths OF the
cotton grown was mortgaged before IL
matured THE rates OF interest and COM
mission were high, and the merchants
were gradually coming into possession OF
the land. The banks charge 10 per cent.
for money at three months time. He adj
vanced the idea that the National Bank
act has done vast damage in out'awins
real estate as security for money loaned
10 these banks and that, all told. this act
was to the South the most damaging
legislation that had ever been enacted.
The witness said that nearly all the
plantation labor was done by negroes,
and that there was practically no immi-
grafton, because OF the cheapness OF Lac
Dor and the social conditions. The rail-.
road rates were such as to render II i'm
possible to longer make watermelon-
growing profitable and the same was trua
Of other garden products.
1.-THE railroads are both the daddy ana
the nanny Of the trusts" he asserted.
ILLITERACY IN AUGUSTA.
Mr.. Barrett said the census OF 1890 had
shown that Augusta, where ne lives, was
the most lIiterate place in the United
States. and he thought the fact was duo
to the presence of too much politics ID

DECLINES SAVERS INVITATION.
why Governor Rogers VIII Not At
tend Antitrust Convention.

ST. LOUIS, MO. June ia special to
the Republic from Austin. Tex, says;
Governor Sayers has received a letter
from Governor Rogers, Of Washington,
declining 10 attend the antitrust con-
Vention at st. Louis. He presents his rea-
sons as follows.
In reply 10 your invitation, allow me
To say that ii will be impossible for me
to attend. 1t has occurred to me in this
connection that many people are adVO-
eating State control Of trusts with inSin-
cerity. thinking in this way TO pass
through the next national campaign with
safety to themselves feeling that what
state laws shall be enacted with refer
enCe to trusts will eventually be declared
unconstitutional by the Supreme Court
Those who thus and for that purpose adj
Vocate State legislation concerning trusts
/ can have no sympathy with, and | am
bound to believe. too, that legislative ac-
ton which seeks to control the formation
and management OF trusts will prove
Intellectual.
In the first place. the word trust is
misleading when applied 10 a great many
industrial combinations now threatening
the prosperity OF the people. Many So
called trusts are merely large corpora
tons.
1T has occurred to me that corpora
tions will be declared to possess "A vested
right TO buy and sell. Clearly, II seems
to me corporations, as well as natural
persons, have right 10 BUY, ana nence
q right to SELL whaeVer is offered for
sale in the market. If a sufficient weight
Of capital be employed. a corporation or
a natural person has the ability and the
constitutional right 10 sell all of certain
product offered FOR sale, and this unques-
tonably will operate to fix the price at
which such product will in future be sold.
We can see that, as i'm the case of that
parent Of trusts. the Standard Oil Com
panv. the power to buy and sell pos
sessed by that company is entirely SUI
fcient to regulate the price at which oil
Will be sold. The Standard Oil Company
thus gets the power to drive out Of
business all competitors, and in this way
TO establish the price for which their
product must be sold.
Il am at loss to see, too, how TIE
natural and fundamental right Of eithq
natural or corporate persons to buy and
sell can be interfered with by legal en-
actment, under our Constitution. For
this reason. | can see no remedy for the
trust evil save public ownership. This
new question Of the trusts Is really the
very old one Of capital versus labor, or
stated differently, the attempt OF the al
mighty dollar TO entire supremacy in the
affairs of men. There is in all this an
conflict. which will not down
at the bidding of any State legislature
In addition to this letter. the Governor
received brief letters from the Governors
Of oregon and Pennsylvania endorsing
The Antitrust Convention and promising
to be in attendance.

cover this sum, with interest.
Ii was contended on behalf or the
plaintiff that the Reorganization Com
