Correspondence Of The Progressive Farmer.
We read Of rich syndicates taking
options on cattle out West. They will
advance the price to the consumers
and rob the producers arc consumers.
It is true those owning cattle outside
of those controlled by the syndicates
will receive better prices, but tens of
millions Of dollars will go into the
pockets Of rich syndicstes, that every
cent and dollar that should go into the
pockets Of the farmers. AS long as
the farmers r unorganIzsd they will
be robbed by syndicates who have the
money. Organizs a cattle ra sars' trust
aud the money going into the pockets
Of rich syndicates will be distributed
among the farmers and each will be re
warded according to their merit.
A Cattle r Users trust means that
all engaged in raising cattle shall re-
ceive the price fixed by the trust and
all speculation shall be eliminated.
The Cattle Raisers' trust fixes the price
Of each grade, holds and sells as there
is a demand at the price fixed and this
stops all speculation. The Wheat
Raisers' trust fixes the price of the
wheat, holds and sells as there ia q de-
mand at the price fixed and there can
be no speculation. A thorough organ
iEation Of each class makes them the
masters OF their labor and products,
Until the farmers are organized they
will be the prey Of rich syndicates who
have the money, and who will get a
corner on farm products and rob the
producers and consumers.
In 1891 there was a partial failure
OF corn. The prics Of pork was de-
pressed until it paid better to sell corr
than to put it into pork The farmers
bit at the bait and they took every hoof
that would go on the marked. The pork
in the hands of the syndicate then ad-
vanced the price twelve dollars on the
barrel, reaping a fortune Of sixty mil
lion dollars that should have remained
in the hands of the farmers and CON
sumers. When the price of pork ad-
vRnced there was no less pork, there
fore the price advanced. Had there
been a pork raisers' trust, the price
would have been fixed, the pork under
the control Of the pork rsisers and it
would have been impossible for q syn
dicate to have cornered the pork and
robbed the farmers and consumers.
The syndicates hold up the price of
the article cornered as long as they
can make anything out OF it, then
drop it and the price al once recedes.
The trust eliminates all speculation
and receives 1stica to every member
Of a class. The farmers trusts must
be organized on the treasury plan
as near as the f~oancial system we have
will permit. I vas advocating a cattle
raisers' trust when a cattle Spectator
informed me that I could not get the
farmers to organize. He t~auntingly

correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
The New York Financier Of last
week says:
Needless to say, the iron manutac,
turers are not losing money. We un-
derstand that n Of the trusts will
make q profit of ten million dollars
this year, and that another, whose
stock is not even dealt in on the en-.
listed department of the Exchange, is
richer by half q million dollars at the
end Of each month. = No mat
ter what the fate Of some Of the newer
industrials (truste) ia to be, those i'm the
iron business have an opportunity Of
putting themselves on q solid basis.
They are making enough money this
year to pay moderate dividends on
their preferred stock for several years"
The same paper says further:
1.-THE New York Central Railroad is
repaired to be earning &S5. 900 per day
more than at this time last year, and
the Pennsylvania Railroad moved 147
600 loaded cars through Altoona in
July, an increase Of %, 900 ove July Of
last year. The statement is also made
that the St. Paul will earn % O00 600
more in August than for the same
month q year ago."
These facts ought to open the eyes of
our people and influence the organiEa-
ton OF the farmers and wealth. pro
ducers Of anything will. We al aford
no longer to allow partisan politics to
prevent our coming together and thor

" please Smile

When a woman SAYS 81 am racked

the days when they stretched the tender
bodies of women on the rack with rope
and pulley until the very joints cracked.

tured woman, please smile and look

And yet the woman tracked with

agony and to make home happy. She
can't do it. It is against nature. Cen
orally speaking, the racking pains of ill
health such as headache, backache and

rangements or disorders of the organs
distinctly feminine. When this condition

Third artillery on the left. General
Wheaton's brigade is in reserve.
The American forces met strong op-
position in the jungle. First one Ne
braskan, then one Pennsylvania. and
afterwards two of the Montana regi-
ments were killed. Thirty-five were
wounded, including one officer of the
Kansas regiment.
The rebels burned the villages as they
retreated in bad order towards Malolos.
The enemy also tore up sections Of the
railroad in many places and attempted
to burn the bridge at Bigaa, but the fire
was extinguished, owing to the timely
arrival of the Americans. The rebels
had not finished their trenches along the
line of yesterdays march, showing they
were not prepared for our advance. 1t
is believed, however, that there will be
a hard fight before Malolos is taken.
The Minnesota regiment reinforced
the division yesterday, marching from
the water works during the night to
Manila and going to the front by train.

Samoa, the presumtion being that the
cruiser Tauranga was stopped at the
Fiji islands by the admiral because re-
Quired for service at Samoa.
The Standard says: THE rebellious
chiefs must be coerced and punished,
and something more than a nominal
penalty will be required for the blood
of British and American sailors. The
German authorities at Apia have in
Cured a heavy responsibility. We can
not believe that Berlin will uphold their
action, as it is not worth Germany's
while to quarrel with England and
America over Samoa"
The Daily Chronicle says: "There is
only one alternative. Germany must re-
move her consul Herr Rose) or 90 out
of the protectorate."
The Morning Post says: admiral
Kautz and his coadjutors were not COM
petent to dismiss the provisional gov
ernment. The single bright spot in this
dark business is that the Americans anG
British fought splendIdly together"
The Daily Mail says: 1T is a con
ISOLATION to think that, as in Crete, the
spilling of British and American blood
will bring a solution Of the crisis. All
three powers should recall their consuls
and as the friendship of Germany is the
pivot of our foreign policy her wishes
should be respected in the final settle

Rochester, n. Y, March 800. r.
Williams, United States consul at Man
lila, has written to his brother, L. l..
Williams, of this city, concerning state
ments made by Agoncillo to the effect
that COnsuls Williams and Wildman
had promised Aguinaldo and his friends
that the United States would grant alb
solute independence to the Philippines as
soon as the islands were taken from
Spain. Consul Williams says he never
saw Agoncillo, nor made such a promise
to any Filipino.
