already in many getting better price

our charges are untrue or until you stor

Concerning the remaining five
we have as yet been unable to learn.
We have every reason to believe not one

New problems arising for solution and
the rapidly changing conditions of the
past four years will to degree bring
about a new alignment. There are a
few voters in Sumner county who voted
the Fusion ticket four years ago who
will not do so this year; but for every
one there will be more than one who
has changed the other way. A careful
poll of the county is being taken and
this much is absolutely certain. Those
who are now renouncing Boss Hanna,
imperialism and trust domination
in Sumner county are the
quiet, thinking, intelligent voters who
are not itching to get their names in
print. An increased vote for Bryan and
the rest of the ticket in November and
an honest count is what the Fusion man.
ayers of the county are striving for and
not false and extravagant claims put out
for their effects elsewhere and as a pre-
text for another theft of the state.

bill now pending in congress as fol-
lows
"By special order of the house of
representatives, what is known as the
Grout bill will be considered on the
9th of December next. Whatever may
be the result of the election in this
district, if l am alive and well an op-
portunity will be given me to vote on
the measure. ] shall dose
1t has not been my custom to de-
clare in advance my position on any
nonpolitical question, but as there is
considerable interest in this district
on this bill, and as a determined effort
has been made to compel me to pledge
myself for the bill, which have de-
clined to do, will briefly state my
position.
"0leomargarine is taxed under the
law at two cents per pound. The
Grout bill proposes to tax uncolored
oleomargarine at 4 Of cent, and col
ored oleomargarine at 10 cents per
pound. 1t is well known that there
is no demand for uncolored oleomar-
garine, and the sole question is, what
will be the effect on the manufacture
of oleomargarine if the tax is in
creased from 2 to 10 cents per pound?"
( Mr.. Long then goes on to quote the
friends of the packing houses as to
what would be the effect on the oleo.
margarine industry if they, the pack
ing houses, were deprived of the right
to sell their grease as butter by reason
of the tax of ten cents per pound. The
fact that the tax is reduced on the
uncolored oleomargarine from cents
to 4 cent per pound by the proposed
law, seems to give Armour, Swift and
company no consolation. They want
to force their composition on the Ia
bles of the people under the guise of
butter, aud thus get the price of but
ter for it. When colored and sold as
butter oleomargarine is brought into
competition with every pound of
butter made for sale on the farm, or in
the dairy or creamery. Every patient
housewife who tolls early and late to
make few pounds of butter for the
store, and exchanges it for groceries
and dry goods finds the demand for
her product less and the price reduced
by reason Of the colored oleomarga-
rine masquerading as butter Ger
People's voice., 1900-10-04

very little coloring matter to secure
uniformity of color in his product,
while the packing houses study to de-
ceive by initiating him. If the butter
makers turEed their butter out IN its
natural color, oleomargine would sim
! ply be made to represent it. So long
as oleomargarine is permitted to be
made to represent butter so that it
will be consumed as butter il doesn't
matter in what tint or color the gen.
uine article is produced and marketed
the spurious imitation will be found
close by it deceiving the eye and the
other senses, and piling up fortunes
for the manufacturers.
After declaring, as above quoted,
that ''the sole question is, what will
be the effect on the manufacture of
oleomargarine If the tax is increased
from to 10 cents per pound" and
saying further along that 81 canno:
support such a bill, ;" he turns right
around and alienates the support Of
such stockmen as might be induced to
believe that they receive 81 or SO more
per head for their steers under exist
ing conditions by declaring himself as
follows:
81 am willing to support any bill
that will compel the manufacturers of
oleomargarine to place it on the MAR
KET as oleomargarine and not as but
ter. lbelieve / in legislation that will
prohibit fraud in food products"
The niger in the woodpile in this
paragraph is the word market" The
present law, which taxes oleomarga-
rine cents per pound does in meas
ure prevent its sale ION the market"
as butter, and II Mr.. Long had been
sincere in protesting to "believe in
legislation that will prohibit fraud in
food products" he would have said on
the table Of the consumer, instead Of
ION the market" Furthermore, had
he been sincere when he said 81 will
support any bill that will compel the
manufacturers of oleomargarine to
place it on the market as oleomarga-
rine and not as butter" he could not
help but support a bill that reduces
the tax on oleomargarine from cents
to 4 cent per pound, provided, only,
that it is uncolored. Mr.. Long is GER
tainly trying to blow hot and cold in
the same breath, and only makes it all
the palmer that he thinks heap more
Of Armour. Swift and company than
he does Of the butter makers and con-
sumers of the Big Seventh district.
He had rather bid for a liberal cam
paign fund contribution from them
than to be honest with the people who
twice elected him to congress. Doubt
less he has seen incidents in Washing
ton Of the great potency Of money in
the hands Of the lobbyists for the oleo-
margarine and filed cheese manufac-
turers which have convinced him that
he had rather have the friendship of
those interests than the support Of the
friends Of good butter. Mr.. Long as
pires to be United States sen ator
when Mr.. Harris present term expires.
He will need powerful interests at his
back because he isn't very meritorious,

The Profits Of the Grain Trust and How to
Curtail Them.

So far the only defense offered for the
grain trust doing business in the county
is made by the Sumner County Star,
which is in the trust defending business,
but as its funds come from such sources
this is to be expected. The defense
made is that Mr.. Hunter is a very nice
man, practical business man who at
tends to his own business while the edit
or of this paper is guilty of the awful
offense of having taught school. Mr..
Rockefeller, Mr.. Carnegie and most of
the rest Of the great trust magnates are
personally very nice men, practical bust
ness men, etc; but that does not lessen
the evil effects of the trusts which they
control. The fact that Mr.. Hunter or
his attorney Jas. Lawrence or Mr.. Kra-
mer or Mr.. Carter or any others are per-
sonally very nice men does not make it
any easier on the wheat raisers of the
county from whom they are taking from
three to eight cents per bushel more than
a Just charge for handling and who are
deprived BY them Of an open market and
the right to ship their own wheat. A
trust doing business in Sumner county
and made up of our own citizens is no
better and no worse than one located
elsewhere and made up of citizens of
some other state. Whenever a trust in
terferes with legitimate business and sys-
tematically plumbers the people through
its superior organization and in violation
OF law it should be denounced and all
possible efforts put forth to break its
power. That is what the VoIcEis doing.
People's voice., 1900-10-04

Not because it is pleasant to attack a
wrong for which neighbors and friends
are responsible; but because it is duty
which every honest newspaper should
perform.
That the evidence Of combination for
the control Of the grain business in the
interests Of the grain dealers is conclu-
sive no one doubts any longer; but as a
matter Of interest to our readers few
more instances will be given.
Chas. Peters of Ashton shipped car
Of wheat to a commission man in Kansas
City who belongs to tie combine. Word
came back that he could not sell il be-
cxuse Peters did not belong to the Grain
Dealers organization. Peters was finally
compelled to sell the wheat TO the mem-
Der of the organization who owns an ele-
yator at Ashton.
Another party loaied two cars of
wheat and had the bill of lading made
out to himself ready for shipmlnt. Af-
ter this was done the elevator nan offer
ed &c more per bushel than tie price Of
fered before it was loaded. These cars
were shipped and the bill of lading
signed over to party who sold it for .he
regular price that day upon the Kansas
City market. Upon these two cars
over 5000 was cleared above the ad-
vance of &c offered. Others have tried
to get cars through in this way past the
agreement between the railroads, the To-
cal grain men and the Kansas City deal
ers; but they usually fail. There are a
few men in the county who are heavy
shippers other ways or are in a position
to cause trouble who are getting special
rates to keep them from interfering; but
with few exceptions people have sub
mitted to the demands of the robber or
ganization.
One of the notable exceptions is Neal
Pickett of Guelph. He does not own an
elevator and does not belong to the Grain
Dealers organization. He has made a
long and determined fight for the right
of anyone who wished to ship a car Of
wheat or anything else to do it on the
same terms as anyone else. He has sue.
ceeded. From him we get the following
and have the account sales to show any.

spection soc on the car, commission &c.
Netting him over 55Hc. The offer made
by the member of the trust at Ashton
was ACC. The car overrun machine

hard wheat to B. c. Christopher & Co.
Of Kansas City for which he received 63c.
Freight SIC. Inspection and weighing
S5c for car. Commission &c. Melted
him over 53c. The wheat was pro-
nounced poor by the member Of the
trust at Portland and only 471lc offered
for it The same trust elevator man de-
clared Hensgel could not ship it himself.
Wequote the following letter;
"St. Louis, Mo-, Sept. n, 1900.
Meal A. Pickett, Guelph, Kans. Dear
Sir:-We sold for your account today by
sample car 1892, scant No. hard wheat
at 72H switched to East St. Louis.
There is good demand for wheat of this
quality and we hope to be favored with
more shipments from you soon. Yours
very truly, DANIEL P. BYRNE & Co."
For this wheat Mr.. Pickett was offered
55c by the trust elevator men at Ashton
and Portland clear gain to him Of over
&c. A number of other letters and ac-
count sales are in our possession Of this
same character. The smallest saving on
any one is the last one quoted.
c. Albright sold wheat testing 60 on
Sept. 20 at Perth to a member Of the
trust. This same wheat sold in Kansas
City on that day for 7Ic and on the fol.
lowing day for the same. Deduct Ioc
for freight commission and all expenses
and there remains the SC which the trust
has agreed upon as their minimum profit.
Mr.. Pickett tells US that he has shipped
wheat for his neighbors for &c bushel
and considers it a good business at that.
If he and some others can ship their own
wheat why can not the farmers IN any
community organize and fight for their
rights. Call meetings in the school
houses. Write to these two firms men,
toned. They claim not to be in the
trust. Get the names Of other firms that
are not and open market. 1t is not the
