The theory ia all right, but there
ls wide difference between trust
theories and practices. We think
it best to see exactly what they
propose to do before we take any
action, but all the while we can
we'll bear in mind that business
is not conducted as benevolence
Men do not traverse the country
for the purpose of buying and
consolidating manufacturing aud
commercial plants in order to
enable the consumer to purcha ase
his goods for less money.
The history OF all trus,s has
been to secure absolute control
OF CERTAIN line OF buslness in
that the necessities of Ilfe be in
their hands, that they may act
the autocrat in such things as
ought to be controlled by an un.
trammel commerce. There are a
few instances where prices have

this oil question, which is that
there has been such 4 tremendous
increase of consumption all over
the world, that the trust came
into existence on rising market,

doubtful If they could have float.

Farm Topics.

The matter of fertilizers for
another year is the question of the
most Importance to our farmers
just ut this time. The fact that
one concern, the Virginia Chemi
cal company, has purchased all
the fertilizer manufacturing com
panies in the Gulf States, with
one or two exceptions, has been
the occasion of SOM" uneasiness
on the part Of our farmers, and
very justly so, for whenever the
entire production Of any one arti-
Gle passes into the possession Of
one party, he can dictate terms to
whoever else may "ant any of
said article.
Now, as to this fertilizer bust
ness, as we have just said the
above company has gone into the
open market and one by one
bought up all the manufactures
of commercial fertilizers in this
and adjoining states. Weare told
that they have done this becaus
under one management they can
conduct the business on a more
economical plan, and that they
will be able to keep out low grade
and spurious goods, etc. These
statements are all we'll enough as
far as they 90, and we have no
right IA yet to question the hon
esty of them. To use an every day
expression tins trust has not
"sAown its hand"
While the quotations they are
now putting out are an advance
on last years prices, still We can't
say that they are ont Of prppor-
sion with the general advance in
all the crude materials that are
used in the manipulation Of com
mercial fertilizers. Crude phos-
phate rock has advanced some

= TORY OF A SLAVE.

To be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains of disease is
the worst form of slavery. George
ID. Williams of Manchester, Mich.
tells how such a slave was made
free. He says: My wife had
been so helpless for five years
that she could not turn over ia
bed alone. After using two bot
ties of Electric Bitters, she is
wonderfully improved and able
to do her own work" This su.
preme remedy for female diseases
quickly cures nervousness. sleep
lirsss, melancholy, headache,
backache, faInting and dizzy
spells. This miracle working
medicine is a godsend to weak,
sickly, run down people. Every
bottle guaranteed. Only 50 cts.

two dollars per ton; cotton seed
meal three dollars per ton dried
blood, fish scrspe aud nitrates of
all kinds have advanced very
materially in price. Even the
price of the bags in which the
goods are sacked have advanced
twenty five per cent. IN price.
Uuder these conditions we cannot
except other than that the goods
manufactured from these ingrA.
dents will advance in price. The
point for us to watch is now ar
this advance will be kept in pro
portion with the advance in the
crude materials. In plain English,
we must see that we are treated
fairly and honestly.
How is this to be done? Simply
by concert of action on the part
OF our farmers. If the Alliance
organization was as com )lete il.
it's details as 1t was In 1890 wa
would need have no fear of any
combination in the world. We
have allowed our members 70
drift away from their subs; we
have let the subscribers to The
Cotton Plant fall away until its
readers are not one in five of
what it was in the year 1890 Still
we are not "out Of heart" az the
saying goes, and notwithstanding
these facts We believe We are vet
IN position to protect ourselves if
1t becomes necessary. We are
glad to receive letters from diff
ferent sections of the state asking
what action we should take with
regard to the fertilizer combina-
ton.
Our views of the situation are
az follows: We must recognize =
the right of any party or parties
to concert together, go into the
markat and buy up all of certain
properties that they wish to pur.
chase, say these fertilizer plants.
They manufacture what almost
seems an absolute necessity to
many sections of our country. If
they sell their goods at a reasons
BILE price no harm is done and we
have no cause of complaint. Hav.
Ing obtained absolute control of
this trade suppose they do as our
bagging trust friends did, why
then, we say "blow the horn" and
have jail the old 1890 members
meet at the school house" or at
"the cross roads" and pass some
1890 resolutions, not cotton acre
age reduction resolutions, but iute
bagging resolutions. Why, in our
neigh borhood in 1890 it was about
what a mans farm was worth to
use jute bagglng. We need not
say, Il told you So" but thls is
truly an object lesson Of the value
of the Alliance organization of
our necessity for having some
medium of communication like
The Cotton Plant.
We will have the prices of fer
tilizers, we think, ready for the
next issue Of The Cotton Plant.
and our advice so often given you
IL to order your fertilizers through
your own agency. 1t may some
times seem that it is costing you
a fraction, more or less, tina
somebody elsa's prices, but you
stand by your Exchange, if you
are wise. 1t is our only hope for
protection and success along
business lines This fart;l,,ar

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1899-05-12
Now This Is Too Much.

THE Rock ISLAND ARGUS feels called
upon to castigatc the Davenport city
council for dilatoriness in the matter
of the street car ordinance passed at
last nights meeting of the council. 1t
SAYS that hereafter, while the city
councils of Moline and Rock Island
will be prominently in mind as DELHI
reative bodies that are prompt and
willing to do the right thing by all
corners, the Davenport council will be
thought of as willing to do the right
thing only when the pressure brought
to bear on it is sufficient to compel it
to do this. Probably THE ARGUS is
right, as usual. 1t isn't worth while
to argue the case, and yet the idea pre-
walls, from reading of its columns on
this side of the river, that the Daven-
port council will have to sit up all
night to be a match for the Rock Isl
and mayor. Let Us allow that the
honors are even and not fight.-Dav-
export Democrat.
Now, see here! This is getting
pretty close to the De Lone incident.
We may reserve the privilege of pass
ing judgment on our own executive,
but we submit to no bouquet throw
ing from across the pond. The sug
ge.tion that the entire Davenport
council would have to sit up all night
to prove n match for Rock Island
mayor will not suffice to palliate the of
Tense, and unless an absolute official
disavowal is Immediately forthcom-
ing a state of siege will be declared,
and Davenport's hinkydink gravel
train will be seized as the first hos
tile demonstration. We can undergo
the severance of diplomatic relations
on the part of a great steamship COM
pany like the Diamond 10, and still
live at peace with all the world, but
when Davenport cuts away from us it
means war. In the meantime if
Davenport keeps her eyes open she
may see how Rock Island council
proves match for n Rock Island
mayor without losing any sleep over
