TRUSTS AND THE FARMERS.

Just as the trusts limit production
and control prices in their respective
lines of trade and manufacture. so do
the railroads and elevator men hold the
produce of the farms at their mercy.
Attention was called yesterday to the
manner in which the farmers of north
ern Utah are compelled to stand and
deliver half their crop to find a mar
ket for the other half.
1t was developed by the congressional
industrial commission. which recently
held a session in Chicago, that five
men have been meeting for six years
and still meet in that city every morn
ing and decide what the farmer shall
be paid for his grain; that their pur-
pose is to maintain the profits of
transporters and dealers in grain, no
matter how low market prices may so;
that, as these men represent and con-
troll all the means by which grain is
sent from the farm to the market, their
decision has been and is final"
This is the grain trust. 1t was or
ganized by the elevator men. 1t is
operated in their interest and in the in
tereSt of the great trunk lines. These
five men constitute a. board of regula-
ton and control. and they have it in
their power to crush the farmer or give
him temporary encouragement, as it
suits their purpose. There have been
panic years when prices should have
been good, and prosperous years when
legislation adverse to the masses has
been enacted and enforced. From 1898
to 1896 there were short crops and
small prices. These conditions would
have made times hard even without the
closing of the minis of India to the
coinage of silver or the dumping of our
securities on the market by German
holders.
This Capitalization of the power of
wealth is Hanna's policy of government
Imperialism and Republicanism, in his
opinion, are one and the same. He cares
nothing for the rights of the American
people, and it isn't easy for him to
make us believe that he is going to
cross the ocean to diffuse the blessings
of liberty and political purity.

1t is strange that there are newspa-
pers printed in the United States that
profess to believe the Beers have a
chance to win the fight with England.
Il is absurd. They have been doomed
from the outset. 1t should be remem-
bered that the Transvaal is isolated
from the sea, the British commanding
all approaches. Nobody has evinced
any disposition to help them and secret
aid is almost out of the question. 1t
could only reach them through Della
goa bay, a Portuguese port that is
closely guarded, and from there to Pre-
toria via railroad that is under Brit
ish surveillance. No. the Beers were
actually in a worse plight at the begin
ming of their war than the southern
confederacy was at the end of the late
rebellion. And yet, when all these
things are considered, no people ever
put up a pluckier fight than the Beers
are making right now against over
whelming odds.

IN TWO HEMISPHERES.

A near contemporary insists upon
comparing the purchase of Louisiana
by Jefferson and the acquisition of
New Mexico and the CALIFORNIA; by
Polk with the effort to forcibly retain
the Philippines.
France was obliged to dispose of
Louisiana and it was inimical to the
welfare of this country to allow any
other nation to purchase it. Mexico
was obliged to part with her north
western territory. owing to the indie
pendance of Texas and the fact that
her power in California had been de-
stroyed by General Fremont and Com
rnodore Stockton. Both acquisitions
were of boundary lands-soil of our
own soil, farms adjoining our own
farms, climate like our own, resources,
conditions and opportunities with
which we were familiar, environments
and influences congenial to the institu-
tons of our nation and the disposition
OF the American people.
Jefferson purchased from France a
vitality necessary outlet to the sea; per-
petuaI peace in the navigation of our
great rivers; vast domain out of
which have been carved the states of
Louisiana. Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa,
Minnesota, the two Dakotas, Kansas,
Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana and
Colorado, besides the Indian Territory
and Oklahoma He obtained a region
open for settlement that possessed the
same material for states that the
t.
was natural part of the republic, an
indispensable acquisition. Further
more. he destroyed a menace to our
frontier, and obviated by that purchase
endless and costly strife that otherwise
would have ensued. In his message to
congress he expressed particular pride
in the transaction because it removed
us from the dangers of constant col
lision with other powers.
Polk's reasons for acquiring a vast
area of uninhabited land from Mexico
were very similar. He justified the
transaction on the grounds that it was
contiguous territory; that it was owned
by a power that had to sell; that it
would have been menace to this re-
public in European hands; that it
ended boundary controversies and gave
Us an outlet to the Pacific. Blaine says
that the most important feature of
this acquisition was that it gave us
undisputed possession and control of
oregon and the territory since segre-
gated therefrom.
IN neither case were the inhabitants
fighting for independence; in neither
case had they been armed by the
United States and set to fighting their
general government. How different in

tous territory. Their ownership will

The outgrowth OF a girls home life

their parents, settle family matters
and as a syndicate direct the home.

The race question has shown itself in
Indian schools, as it has in institutions
where negroes and whites are placed
together, and as it will crop up in our
new possessions and conquests from
time to time. Commissioner Jones says
that 1.-The results of co-education of In

retically is an admirable expedient for
breaking down prejudices and civilizing
the Indian. but the figures show it is

troops. The news from Manila. if it

town of Dagupan, on the gulf of Lin
gayen, in northern Luzon, has been oc-
cupied. Dagupan is the northern ter
minus of the railroad running from Ma
Mia. and the entire occupation of this
line, which has been accomplished and
abandoned SO often by Otis, shows that
some one has improved on his tactics
somewhat. There ought to be no diff
