THE WEATHER AT BREAD LOAF
FOR WEEK ENDING WEDNESDAY, OCT. u, 1900
Rock Island Argus., 1900-10-20

The cracker trust is very strong
and is known by the name of the Ma
tional Biscuit company. Its method
similar TO these of the other trusts.
In one case manufacturer of crack
ers and cakes in considerable guam
titles declared his purpose of holding
out against the trust. The employees
in his factory mum bered, perhaps,
100, and for some time he success
fully withstood the efforts of the
trusts to ruin his business. Finally,
however, he was forced, by repeated
cuts in the price of crackers and
small cakes, to sell out to the trust.
By this nearly 100 men were thrown
out OF. employment. The product of
the trust factories has risen in price
from time to time, and although the
quality OF the goods put out by it
has proven in many cases 10 be very
much inferior to those made by pri-
vate factories, they sell in the market
at higher prices.
|. The baking powder trust is, after
the sugar trust, perhaps the most re-
morseful in it's methods. Denials a. g
der trust, but the facts show differ
emily.
The flour trust, backed and con-
trolled as it is by the grain and ele-
Eator trust, has raised the price OF
flour 25 cents per barrel in the last
week. Still further advances in flour
may be expected within the next few
DAYS.
There is the tack trust, which abso-
lutely controls the price of all tacks
and nails. In place in New England
there is a mill for the manufacture of
tacks, and since the trust acquired
control of it the mill has been shut
down and not a ton of its product has
been sold. The shutdown threw $50
men out of work.
There is bucket trust, broom
trust, starch trust and feather duster
trust. Every washerwoman has to
pay more for her starch, and her wash
boards cost her more because of the
woodenware trust.

1t is on record that n swarm Of bees
as weapons of war were used not once
but twice, and with the best possible
effect.
When Themiseyra, In Pontus, was
besicged by Lucullus, the Romans en-
ployed turrets, built mounds and made
huge mines beneath the city. While
they We're creating the mines the pec-
pie of Themiseyra dug down through
the earth to the mines and then cast in
upon the Roman workers bears and
other wild animals, together with a
swarm of bees.
History repeated itself in England
when the Danes and Norwegians made
their attack upon Chester, about ten
centuries since. The town was held
by the SaXons and some Gallo allies,
who tried stones and boiling water up
on the besiegers without effect. AS q
last resource they collected all the bee
hives and upset them into the enemy's
camp beneath the city wall.
This had the effect of making things
'hum," so to speak, and it is recorded
that the enemy We're so badly stung
that they could move neither arms nor
legs

fore he bowed to the dictation of Wall
street, and if you will defend him

myself for not changing my opinion. !"
There were a few questions after
that, but not many. Bryan had won
the respect and admiration of eve :
his opponents, and the students stood
quietly for the most part and heard
the rest of the speech.
Bryan is quick of thought when
interruptions are fired at him. At
one of his meetings recently the ques-
ton. .How about the negro?" was
abruptly propounded. Quickly as a
flash came the reply: For so years
the republican party has been leading
the negro to the door of public office

Owing to the Vast Numbers who Have
Been Unable to See the British Doc

Owing to the large number of in

ease and deformities, and guarantee
cure in every case they undertake.
At the first interview a thorough ex-
animation is made, and if incurable,
you are frankly and kindly told so;
also advised against spending your
money for useless treatment.

BRYAN PATIENT AND EVER READY

Another attempt was made by a LOT
of thoughtless students of Ithaca,
n. Y, yesterday to break up the
meeting at which w. j. Bryan spoke.
While Bryan enjoyed the friendly but
earnest rivalry between the Mckinley
and Bryan factions among the stu
dents. he did not lose his accustomed
good nature when the evidences de-
veloped of the prearraDged purpose
to disturb and EN- barrass him. Cues
tions although put in the nature of
an Interruption were promptly an
swered by Ryan who, when asked
chow about North Carolina?"
quickly replied to the persons inquir-
ing, "now, don't hide and / will tell
you all about it. Under the present
conditions in Porto Rico, with refer
ence to which the president has so
recently acknowledged the plain
duty of America. 83 per cent of the
population cannot vote. don't want
you to hold me responsible for what
IS done in North Carolina, when you
shirk the responsibility for what your
own president has done in Porto
Rico" The statement was received
with deafening applause that made
the aleck who drew Bryan out feel
like two dimes and half. Then the
speaker continued, lis there anyone
else that has any question to ask?"
There was no response until he went
on with his speech when some one
shouted, "how about the cotton bale
trust?" Bryan was ready with his
answer that the cotton bale trust is
not q trust st all. but a company own
ing a patent that does not bale one
of the cotton of the coun-
try. He siso said that the repu blican
salt trust controls 95 per cent of the
salt output. 81 want to ask" he
continued, whether the man who
worries about the cotton bale and does
not worry about salt is ignerant or
There was further cheering when
Bryan said: Now, 1t is about time
for the ice trust man to ask his ques-
tion." The ice trust man was not
there and Bryan answered the ques-
lion himself. as he has done hun
ired times during his campaign.
