THE HOG INDUSTRY.
Figures showing That Porkers Are
the Most Profitable stock the
Farmer Can Raise.

The last few years have brought the
hog industry forward almost. if not
quite, Oh an equal with the cattle in
dustry, although the two industries
should go hand in hand. The hog of
the past was looked upon as merely q
scavenger, and not as an object of
profit, unless he could be kept upon
food such as no other animal would
eat. And in some farmers estima-
ton they have not advanced one per
cent. up to the present time, regard
less of the lessons which, well con-
Quoted experiments have taught the
reading farmer. My experience with
hogs. although very limited, has
proven to my entire satisfaction that
hogs are the most profitable stock a
farmer can keep. One good brood
SOW properly handled, will pay for
herself twice every year. ! have one
sow that brought me eight pigs last
June. The sow and pigs We're kept on
alfalfa until August, when the pigs
were started on grain. They were
given soaked barley first and this was
gradually changed to corn. Those pigs
were marketed when six months old
and weighed n little over 300 pounds
each; they brought me about sos.
have seven more pigs from that SOW,
that will weigh about 40 pounds each,
and she will bring me another litter
of pigs in June. Now, this is only
one SOW, and an average of my herd.
but l think it fair illustration of
the profit in n good brood sow upon a
farm. Some farmers may say that
hogs are more liable to disease than
other animals, and this may or may
not be true. l have lost Il few hogs,
but never lost one from cholera or any
other contagion that l know of posi-
lively, although 1 have had cholera all
around me. My theory for curing
this disease is to doctor the pen and
not the hogs. / never use one pen or
lot longer than six months at a time.
and always make it a point to grow
some crop each summer on the ground
used orhog lots during the winter and
early in the spring pillow my summer
lots and sow to oats or barley. This
has always been my way of handling
hogs, and I have never been bothered
with disease. I never shut my hogs
in a small pen until few weeks be-
fore putting them on the Market

which should be large enough to fit a

New York Journal: In Idaho the
United States government has estab-
lished bull pen," in which are con-
fined all those suspected of aiding or
abetting the striking miners.
In Pennsylvania the coal trust has
built barbed wire trocha about a
mining village, which it owns, and has
ordered the miners to buy everything
they may need from the companys
stores.
The miners complain that the store
goods are inferior and the prices eX
brilliant. A purchase of groceries or
clothing or bread or medicine outside
that trocha means discharge, and in
the coal regions discharge means
starvation.
The miners have no recourse. The
slavery of serfs in Siberia was never
more servile. The wagons of outside
stores are not allowed to enter the
village or to cross the trocha.
1t has been shown many times that
the company stores eat up the miners
wages deliberately and Intentionally.
And all this is in direct violation of
the laws on the Pennsylvania statute
books. In all the damnable evil of
trusts and monopolies throughout the
country there is no such disregard for
the laws of God and man as exist in
the Pennsylvania coal regions.
To the sight Of man in balloon
at lofty attitude the entire region
from Pittsburg to Wilkesbarre and
from Scranton to the Virglnias would
resemble virulent cancer by day and
a flaming hell by night.
1t IS not much better than this in
reality. Miners in this region have no
human rights. either political or per-
sonal. They work for beggars mite,
and it is stolen from them by the rob-
Der stores. II they are i'll. they must
live or die according to the ability of
a company DOCTOR" whose services
they are forced to depend upon.
They vote as directed, live as di-
recte1, and are confined in company
boxes and kicked into their graves.
Can any slavery be worse than this?

Unfit to be Citizens.

The objection to the Chinese. during
the long debate in congress some years
ago over the Chinese exclusion act,
was that the Chinese were an unas-
similating race-that is. they never
could overcome their racial prejudices
sufficiently to become American citi-
zens. The arguments then used apply
with equal force to the Filipinos and
Hawaiians, but there is a much deeper
significance to be attached to the sub
ject now. The st. Louis platform de-
manded the rigid enforcement of the
pauper immigration laws. but, blinded
by the effulgence of conquest and i'm
perialism, the Republican party I'M
hesitatingly brings into our midst mil
lions of foreign cheap labor as Ameri-
can citizens. thus debasing and de-
stroylng American labor. The Chica-
go platform protests against the i'm
portation of foreign pauper labor, and
the whole Democratic party today pro-
test against it. Why exclude pauper
immigration on the Atlantic seaboard
and bring it in by the millions from
the Orient under the guise of expan-
sion?

IDAHO MIN ERS.

At the meeting recently of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, President
Gompers. In his annual address made
the following report in reference t.
the militarism and murder which has
been carried on for months at Warden
in the state of Idaho:
1T Is necessary to report the awful
events which have TRANSFERRED in the
industrial field in the west. From the
best sources which are available to lis
we learn that the property of Bunker
Hill and Sullivan mines in Warden.
Idaho, was destroyed by unorganized
miners, who, goaded to desperation by
the tyranny and brutality of the COM
pany amt lacking experience and the
knowledge which comes to the organ
lied workers. not knowing how to pro-
tect their interest or to conduct .
strike, applied the most radical and
desperate means to obtain relief and
redress from their wrongs. When that
lawless and inadvisable act was con-
summated the authorities of Idaho de-
clared martial law, the civil govern
ment was upset. militarism established
and the United States general in COM
mand declared the Western Federation
OF Miners criminal organization. The
mine owners were prohibited from en-
ploying any miner unless he signed a
declaration renouncing his connection
with the avowal that the Miners
union was criminal body. No miner
could obtain employment unless such
a declaration was signed by him, APP
proved and countersigned by General
Merriam and his aide-de-camp. One
thousand two hundred men were cor
rallied, arrested and placed in stock
ade, properly named the bull pen"
They were cruelty and inhumanly
trial, and now there are hundreds
awaiting the pleasure of the authori-
ties to determine whether they shall be
tried or set at liberty. The whole
proceeding is so outrageous as to bring
a blush of shame to the cheeks Of
every liberty-loving American. IT, as
alleged, the imprisoned men are guilty,
they at least should be given a fair
trial before jury of their peers, con-
fronted with their accusers and, if
guilty, punished; IL innocent, they
should be given their liberty and their
wrongs should be redressed. This con-
yention, in no mistaken tones, should
express its keen Indignation and en-
phatic protest against this outrage
upon human rights. The killing of in
nocent men upon the public highway
of Lattimer, the shooting down of I'M
armed men at Buffalo, the incarcera-
ton Of workmen guilty of no offense
in Idaho and Che outawry of organized
labor must be frowned down upon;
must be met with the consciousness
of our rights. the manhood to declare
them and the determination to achieve
them. The Nonconformist

William V. Allen is again a senator
of the United States, and the reformers
of the nation are glad of it. His long
experience in the senate made him the
proper man to represent Nebraska at
this time. Gov. Poynter made no mis-
take in this appointment. He did not
consult his own preference; he did not
look at the ability or the public serv-
ices of the different candidates; he de-
ferred the question to the reform vo-
tiers of the state and agreed to choose
the man favored by the majority
Those favoring Allen were the most

RAILROAD MONOPOLY
HOW 1T is FOSTEREp BY THE
REPUBLICAN PAMTY.
POstofYlce Deficit Caused by Payment of
ExorbItant Rates to Railroad Com
psnies for Carrying Mais-Peopie
Must Hear 1t.

| 1t is stated that the railroad COM
panies give the express monopoly a
| carrying rate one-ninth of that charged
the government for transporting the
mails. 1t Is thus that private monop-
oily Is fastened upon the country so
that a rival cannot come in, and the
peoples monopoly-the postal system
is rendered improbable. One OF
these days the people will change all
that, reversing the process.-Los An
geles Herald
Notwithstanding this, the express
companies charge much higher rates
than the postoffice, and all the saving
In transportation Is added to the prof
its of the monopolists. The postmaster
general reports that the postal deficit
is 26 per cent less than last year. but
there is still deficit. He proposes to
correct this by raising the postage on
certain classes of cheap publications.
BY this means he can kill the deficit
and also kill the circulation of very
much of the reform literature. 1t never
seemed to strike him that it would be
good idea to keep the railroads from
rObbing the mail service. That would
be an unwarrantable interference with
a sacred trust. 1t would be so much
easier to make the socialists, the single
takers and the populists pay twice as
much postage on their books, PAM
phlets and newspapers. Cheap socialist
literature is obtaining great circu-
lation among the people, and this must
be stopped or very soon the
small farmer and the poor la
boring man may find out that
he has just as many personal
rights as the usurer. the monopolist
or the banker. Suppose the postotfice
should obtain from the railroads as
low rate as do the express companies.
There would be no deficit in the post
office, but there would be an actual
profit of many millions annually. This
would not do at all, for it would take
away from the hard working railroad
managers one of the sources of their
princely profits. The people are rich
and don't mind paying nine times as
much for transportation as the express
companies do, especially as all that
money goes to railroad men who are
good Republicans and who so gener-
ously whack up when Mark Hanna
calls on them for campaign fund. Be-
oil sI,1 dc
to rob the postoffice, they would not
furnish free special trains to carry the
president and his cabinet from Wash
ington city to Minneapolis when they
go out to wave the flag and save the
country. If we had government own
ership of railroads, as we will have
some day, we could have penny post
age and still declare dividends on the
business of the postoffice every year.

The National Grange at its recent
meeting at Springfield, Ohio, declared:
I'VE are decidedly opposed to the mis-
use of the power which large combina-
tions of capital give for the purpose OF
destroying competition, controlling pro-
duction and arbitrarily debating prices
of commodities. The greed and sell
fishness which too often actuate men
has become an element Of danger and
must be controlled. 1t must be made
impossible for so-called trusts to ac-
cumulate millions by selling watered
stock without adding to the wealth of
the country"
The effective way for the Grange to
smash the trusts is to drive from power
the party that receives tribute from
the trusts.
