M'KINLEY ON TRUSTS.

market of any particular kind of mer-
chandise or commodity necessary to
the general community by suppressing
natural and ordinary competition,
whereby prices are unduly enhanced
to the general consumer, are obnoxious
not only to the common law. but also
to the public welfare. There must be
a remedy for the evils involved in such
organizations. If the present law can

or check these mOnopolies or trusts, 1t
should be done without delay.
1t is apparent that uniformity of leg

states is much to be desired. 1t is to
be hoped that such uniformity founded
| in a wise and just discrimination be-
| tween what is injurious and what is
useful and necessary in business op-
erations may be obtained and that
means may be found for the congress
within the limitations of its constltu-
tional power so to supplement an ef-
fective code of state legislation as to
make a complete system OF laws

interest of justice we desire to say that
this statement is not true. The presi-
dent did not on that occasion nor at
any other time make use of any such
words, nor did he make any such sug-
gestion then or at any other time, and
we were present at all the conferences
between the president and the national
committee on pensions from July, 1899

the act Of June 81, 1890, in May. 1900

the committee and unanimously adopt

nest and practical friend of the soldier
and sailors of this country. From til
very beginning of his public career h
has given expression to a sincere re

on all proper occasions he has not fai

basis, and washed wool is on the
average classed about 80 per cent.
higher than unwashed wool. In
old times the wool was. nearly all
washed before going to market, and
unwashed wool was rather the ex-
ception. The reason for this change
has been that washing the wool on
the back of the sheep always threat
ened them with cold and death. The
loss in this way was considerable,
and in the end the growers determ-
ined not to wash wool before shear
ing as the 80 per cent. loss in value
was better than to lose a great num-
Der of sheep from colds contracted
while holding them in the cold water
to wash them. The cold thus OBJ
tanned would often weaken the sys-
TENS of half the sheep in a flock, and
they would then contract whatever
diseases happened to be around. The
change was probably for the best,
but it does seem as if that 80 per
cent. difference in the value of
washed and unwashed wool should
be saved. There should be some way
for the grower to make it and add it
to his annual profit.
The practice of selling the wool on
the Sleeps back to begin with is
bad, This at once leaves room for
spectators to depress the market
price of wool until most of the crop
has been brought up, and then adj
vanceit rapidly. The farmer is duped
and finds that he has sold his wool
for a nominal price when there was
an actual scarcity of wool in the
county. When he sells the wool on
the animals back he has no OppOr-
tunity to hold his stock for better
prices, nor to wash it. Now there is
no reason why farmers should not
clip their own wool and then wash it
before sending it to market. In this
way the price obtained for it in some
years would be nearly double what
the producers now receive. Prob
ably washing the wool on the backs
of the animals is a mistake, but GER
tainly washing it at home after shear
ing is something that should take its
place. E. P. SMITH.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1900-10-02

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
The practice OF washing wool on
the sleeps back seems to have de-
clined altogether in some localities,
and in others it is far from being as
popular as before. In California and
in the far South where the climate is
warm and healthful it is kept up,
and the growers make nor money
accordingly than those in the North
ern States where washing is not re-
sorted to as formerly. As most of
the wool is contracted for on the
Sleeps back, the greater percentage
of it goes into the hands of the mid
dleman or mill owner in an unwashed
condition. This means a direct loss
to the farmer of something like 80
per cent, or several millions a year
in the aggregate.
Wool values r nearly always de-
termined upon a cleaned or secured

executive ability which is necessary
in his regular business. Some &C
quaintances of mine of great tech
nical skill in a certain delicate kind
of manufacturing made repeated
failures though the product they
turned out was always good. Finally
they induced a house painter to in
vest some of his hard earnings with
them, and from that moment sue
cess. Why? Simply beca1se he in
sisted that goods should be produced
at less than the selling price, that
expenses should be less than the in
come.
Now l do not mean to say that in
all cases the gross amount of ex-
pensGS should be reduced, that the
farmer should live any closer than
he does now, but that in many cases
the expense of producing Il pound Of
milk or butter or cheese should be
reduced. In some instances to ac-
cOmplish this may often NEAR an in
crease Of gross expense. Thousands
of bright dairymen understand this
now, but generally speaking the i'm
pOrtance of executive skill is less ap-
.preciated than the Importance of
technical skill.
