FORM FARhERS' TRUST
Restrict Production OF Wheat
and Raise Prices.
BIG SCHEME PROPOSED
TO REFUSE TO SELL FOR LESS
THAN 81 A BUSHEL.
Hope to Perfect Plans at the Inter
national Agricultural Conference
in Paris Next July-Reduce the
Output if Possible by 125, o0o,o 900
Bushels Yearly.

Minneapolis, Mimi, April 13.-The
Journal says: All the farmers of the
world. in a sort Of international trust
to restrict the production of wheat and
raise prices, is the plan which it is
hoped TO carry into effect at the inter-
national agricultural conference in
Paris. July SIS. 1t is proposed to ask
the farmers OF the world to reduce their
wheat output by 20 per cent and not to
sell q bushel for less than 81.
j. c. Hanley of St Paul, Mimi, ex-
ecutive agent of the Farmers Alliance
and Industrial union. the National Cot
ton Growers association, the Farmers
Federation Of the Mississippi valley and
the National Grain Growers associa-
ton, is the chief promoter in the agri-
cultural trust in America. Professor
q. Rutland Of the University of Fret
bourg, Switzerland. is the chief pro-
moter of the plan in Europe.
The idea was conceived by these two
men independently. Mr.. Hanley, who
has been interested in many hold-your-
wheat schemes. is prominently asso-
ciated with the farmers elevator and
various cooperative undertakings. He
has long believed that if the farmers
would only come to an understanding
as to limiting production and agree to
sell only when their price could be OBJ
tanned, they could easily master the sit
uation.
AS a professor. of economics, Profess
sor Rutland had come to the same con-
clusion. His study of the agrarian
problems of different countries led him
to. believe that the only cure for the
widespread troubles of farmers, which
are much more severe in the old than
in the new world. is to restrict produc-
ton.
Are Perfecting Plans.
Both We're hard ar work getting the
idea into practice when they encoun-
tered each other in correspondence.
Since then they have been working witk
a common idea viz: TO persuade tie
agricultural congress to
endorse the plan and recommend it to
the various national associa lions for
application next GEAR
While 20 per cent reduction in gore
age is desired. Mr.. Hanlev points out
that if only 5 per ceaI can be secured
the world sswheat crop would he re-
duced about $4,000. 600 bushels which
is, ne says, erough 70 bring the price 81
effect Of a restricted production, the
farmers are to hold their wheat for
ninety days. and are to market it at not
less than 81 a busaal.
Almost everything the farmer
buys" said Mr.. Hanlay. ''is regulated
in price by some trust. On the other
hand. all that the farmer sells has its
price determined oy The competition Of
all the rest of the farmers of the
world. The farmers propose to unite
stop ruinous competition among them
selves. and TO make the world lay 4
fair price for their product"
Following the Paris conference, it is
hoped to have established a perma nent
international grain growers association.

People are rostive over the in
duence of wealth in legislation.
They are coming to believe more
and more in the old Jeffersonian
doctrines of equal rights for all
and special privileges for none.
But what do they see? At every
session of congress and of State
legislatures they see laws con-
structed to favor the wealth of
the country. They See taxes
taken off wealth and laid on labor.
They see these taxes offered in
bounties to those already rich.
No matter what the title of the
bill or its avowed purpose, at the
end it works only one way. They
arc firing of this.

Why They Hate Foster.

Baton Rouge Advocated
The Lake Providence Banner
Democrat thus tersely and forci-
bly, states the reason why the
Republicans of Louisiana hate
Gov. Foster:
"The Republicans jump on the
administration and condemn Gov.
Foster. We do not blame them.
1t is Foster who has helped to
keep them down; it is Foster who
has made a good Democratic
Governor; it is Foster who has
kept his eye on them and who
whipped out the Pharr crowd four
years ago. Gov. Foster has given
us a good administration, and the
Republicans are not likely to ac-
complish anything as long as men
like him occupy the gubernatorial
cnair.''
The reasons given are ample.
Foster has stood like stcne wall
between the corrupt Republicans
and the integrity and honor of the
State they would loot and pollute.
He has hurled back every on
slaught they have made upon
these citadels and preserved the
State from the debauching influ-
ences which their triumph would
have set in motion; he has given
the State an able, honest and
brilliant administration, and this
fact is NORWOOD and gall to his
enemies. He has closed the doors
of the State treasury with q slam
in the faces of the hordes of mis-
cradle spoilsmen and corruption-
lists who were hanging about like
cayotes looking for a chance to
break in, and this was taken as a
mortal affront to them. The Re-
pnblicans want a return of the
saturnalia of corruption which
they enjoyed when they had con-
troll of the State, and Foster has
stood like a lion in their path;
hence they hate him.
