Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE Civic Fed

governors OF many states OF the ap-

Morton, Of Nebraska, in which he
says:
"Forty-hve years ago came to Ne
braska. 1t was then more than 800
miles from any point within its
boundaries to a railroad. All capital
was individual. There was no cor.
poration anywhere within the limits Of
the territory. There were very few
corporations in Iowa or Missouri.
THE first corn planted on the farm
where l lived in 1855, and have lived
ever since, was dropped by hand and
covered with a hoe. So was the sec
ond crop. But the man with the hoe
has departed. The village blacksmith
who made hoes has been crushed out
by the cruel competition OF combined
capital. There are today ten million
acres planted to corn in Nebraska. II

double rowed, two horse corn planter.
and in tillage crushed out by double
rowed cultiyators, such a breadth of
corn would have been an impossibility.
Combinations of capital made the corn
planters, made the cultivators, crushed
out the village blacksmith and rele-
gated the man with the hoe to ever
lasting inutility.
But the great multitude of mouths
which consume foods made from corn
get this food at a less price than they
ever did before, and for a very small
per cent Of what the cost Of corn food
would have been at this time II It had
continued to be planted and cultivated
by man with a hoe.
These samples are illustrative of
the fact that all the great combinations

employment vast number of travel
ing men and others differently employ

The travelling men and all their ex-
penses have been paid invariably by
the consumers Of the goods which they
sold. The entire advancement and i'm
provement OF the industrial world are
marked by the wrecks and ruins of
individuals, but illuminated and glori-
fed by the advantages which they have
given to the multitude"

$4,000. The Others not as much, as the pay
is governed by the population counted. The
enumerstOrs are paid $500 per day as long as
they are collecting statistics but the law says
that they must complete their work in the
towns within fifteen days, and in the country
districts within thirty days. That gives the
