Does the protective tariff foster trusts?"
Yes, in the same sense that fertilizers ap-
piled to land foster the growth of noxious
weeds. An abandonment of the protective
policy would cripple trusts and all lines OF
legitimate enterprise as well. This was
illustrated in melancholy experience of the
country during the last administration or

Contrary to what was believed before
harvest Delaware county farmers are SELL
ing their wheat. A large number are still
holding, however. Those who have sold
have succeeded in getting about IS cents
for the product. The wheat has been
bought up by local commission men, who
have shipped it to the Toledo elevators
for storage pending rise in prices. Many
men who are in a position to judge as
We'll as many others are of opinion that
the unexpected unloading of the grain upon
the commission men will get the worst of it.
The farmers that have sold are willing to
take 6S cents, when in the Chicago markets
IL is selling at about 20 cents. Those who
are holding are firmly of the belief that it
must rise-Muncie News.
For twelve years Muncie. the largest of
all the natural gas cities and in the cen.
ter Of the natural gas belt, has enjoyed
and now enjoys large and powerful
flow of free natural gas. Scores of in
dustries have been located here, attracted
by free fuel and freedom from smoke
and SCOT and the dirt that naturally
follows the use Of coal and other material.
The city has grown from four to thirty
thousand souls. Never was there greater
prosperity In any center or section or the
United States than is enjoyed in our midst
every day. Every factory is running full
force at least six days In the week. and a
large number are running double forces day
and night while a few have shifts of men
which amount TO triple forces. or new
force of men every eight hours. There Is
not a manufacturer here who honestly be-
lieves in his OWE mind that within the next
decade will he be called upon to purchase
fuel. Now and then he may have to bore
a new gas we'll, but the supply will not be-
come exhausted.-Muncie News.
