The trusts have just conferred
another left-handed favor on the
farmers by advancing the prices of
nails and wire, both articles of enor-
nous farm consumption. Nails
have been advanced from SLID n
key six months ago to 50 rs a keg,
or about $50 per cent. This is
pretty steep, but the farmers must
see that the trusts have royal right
to protection. Has not Mr.. Have
meyer laid down the true gospel,
Protection is the Mother of
Trusts?" The farmers hereabouts
are generally protectionists, and
they must not complain of the ex-
tortion of projections progeny
the trusts.

Farmers arc Walking UP.

Farmers arc Waking UP.
The farmers are waking up on
the trust business and are likely to
grow more intense in their hostil-
ity from this time onward. The
great producing GLASS of America
the agriculturists, who constitute
the basis of our power and wealth
have SO far derived little or no
benefit from the revival of prosper
ity ooiuoident with the craze for
trust combinations. While the
price of agricultural products have
gone down from the figures of a
year or two ago the prices for trust
products, the necessities of farm
life, have largely increased. This
outs the farmer both ways. He
pays more for what he requires and
gets less for what he produces.
The trust question is overmaster-
ing all others on the farms of the
land to-day. While there is great
bitterness against the policy that
permits these organizations, in a
political sense, that will be felt at
the polls, the farmer is adopting a
more practical way of beating the
trusts" and that is by refusing to
buy their products. They have
learned the lesson of doing without,
which the glass trust, the nail trust,
the lumber trust, the pipe trust and
generally the iron and steel trusts,
as we'll as others, will soon realize.
The farmer knows how to do with
out. He has learned the lesson in
other days, and in fact it is the
philosophy of the farm. 1t is the
way the farmers meet hard times
The trusts, therefore, are in fair
way to cripple and abridge their
home demand. They are doing it
now. We hear that the spread of
the feeling of hostility and anger
to the trusts, coupled with the pol
10y of "doing without" is making
extraordinary and rapid progress
on the farms of the country. We
have heard many instances narrated
which are typical of a general line
of action.
It will not do to ridicule this do.
ing without policy as freak of a
few disconnected. 1t is principle
of trade that people largely increase
their purchases with low prices and
diminish them with high prices
There are fully five millions of fam
lilies on about the same number of
farms in the United States to-day.
BY the census of 1890 the figures
were 1864 ,641 farms with A, 1877
families on them. The farming
population of the country buys Il
great deal from mills and factories
in the course of year, and trouble
comes when their purchasing power
is reduced. We all realized that
in 1893 and subsequent years, as
we'll as in prior panics.
In connection with the war
against trusts on the farm nothing
has swept the country with such
tremendous effect as Havemeycr's
text that protection is the Mother
of Trusts" We don't believe that
any six words on an economic prin.
ciple has ever before so caught the
intelligence of the American farm
ers. They are heard everywhere,
That great and original sage, Nc
Kinley, when he declared that "the
foreigner pays the tax" was not in
it with Havemeyer as coiner OF
telling and truthful phrase.

THE FlREMAN'S LIFE.

is the tiremen getting into their coats
as they 90 along You see this among
the men on trucks and on hose wagons.
The men on the engine have to use
their hands to hold ON.
Its a simple enough thing in gen
eral to see man putting on his coat,
but here he isn't standing up in his
room before mirror, but he's jumped
out Of bed and taken his coat under his
arm and slid down a sliding pole and is
completing his dressing sitting ON top
of a rack of ladders going through the
street like mad, drawn by three great
horses at one end, with a man down
at the other end steering this outfit
with wheel This sight never loses its
novelty or its interest. You may see the
same thing on hose wagon.
But what set me to speaking about
this now was seeing a man on fire
patrol wagon, sitting on one of their
long seats, facing outward, pulling up
the tops Of his high boots-red wagon,
galloping horses, banging gong, men in
