fair field for me. Take all of our most
successful business men of today and
their experiences were like mine. They
entered the race without handicap,
and their grit and capacity won: Now,
this building up of trusts puts stop
to fair and equal opportunities for the
young men of today.

A SPECIMEN ANSWER
The G. o. P. Trust Defenders
Think Much of Standard Oil.

The Republican state central commit
tee has issued big sheet with very
proper mourning line about it. to off
set the very clear statement given iii
the Democratic Trust Poster, contrast
ltig conditions under trust prices and
trust rule with former years before the
trusts laid its grip upon everything the.
farmer buys. .~
The Republican sheet pretends, to
compare the purchasing power OF cer-s
tain products in October. 1900, with
October, 90, using some OF the prin-=
clpal farm products
THE FIGURES GIVEN ARE IN
MANY INSTANCES FALSE AND.
MISLEADING, BUT THE COM.
PAR1SON WHILE PRETENDING
TO BE GIVEN FOR 1896 AND 1900
ONLY GOES BACK TO 1893.
It then takes up coal oil, its most
familiar trust article, and pretends to
show how much more coal oil could be
bought in 90 with stated quantities of
products more than today.
NOW THE POINT OF THE
WHOLE MATTER IS THIS: THAT
COAL OIL, THE REPUBLICAN
A COMPLETE MONOPOLY OF
THE UNITED STATES. HAVING
CRUSHED ALL OF THE INDI-
EIDUAL REFINERS-HAS BEEN
SLIGHTLY CHEAPENED, But:
THE STATEMENT FAILS TO
MENTION A SINGLE OTHER AR
TICLE IN WHICH A COMPARE
SON FAVORABLE TO THE &c. 0.
P" COULD BE MADE.
What the Democratic poster showed
was that for a long list of articles
which the farmer must pay for with
his crop, the producing power of his
crop now is a very large per cent less
than it was in 1896. the year with
which comparisons were made This
applies to articles OF iron, steel, barb
wire, tinware, ETC., running through the
whole ganut

the inspection department is all right.
but the wheat buyers are misrepresent-
ing the same, and think they are do
ing this all along the line 1t works
against the present administration and
warehouse commission. and for self
protection the matter should be shown
up in its true light.

Effective means will be found to pro-
tect the farmers against the continuance
of these outrageous steals, BUT
MEANWHILE THERE IS DAN
GER THAT THE FARMERS WILL
BE DECEIVED INTO TURNING
THE STATE INSPECTION OVER
INTO THE HANDS OF THE
VERY GANG THAT IS ROBBING
THEM. H.

! The above figures are based on the
wholesale prices of oil, salt, sugar, lum-
ber, nails and barbed wire at Mime
apolis. Freight, handling, and retailers
profits would probably make these ar
ticles cost, on the average, at the farm,
about 20 per cent more, and the amount
of each of these articles which ten
bushels of wheat would buy would be
.correspondingly less.
S TEN BUSHELS OF WHEAT,
LIKE ANY OTHER PRODUCT,
ARE WORTH WHAT THEY WILL
