HOW THE TRUSTS ROB THE
FARMERS.

Several times lately We have seen
in the newspapers a very telling short
article on trusts. 1t was much in lit
tie. 1t showed what the bleeders and
enemies OF the people nae done and
were doing We clipped a week or two
ago intending to copy a part or all.
1t is sent out by the national demo
cratic campaign committee and
is a practical lesson that all
may understand. 1t is stated
that the COMMITTEES have avail
ed themselves of the argument
advanced by the republicans that the
farmer is prospecting under republican
rule and turned it about to show that
IA reality he pays more for every
thing because of the trusts Here are
the points a by the democrats:
1t requires 80 per cert. more wheat
to buy a 20 than it did in 1885,,
1t requires 20 bushels more corn to.
h7y a wagon than in 1896.
1t requires 100 per cent. more COTE.
or wheat to buy a copper kettle THAI
in 1896.
1t requires twice as much Germ %
buy a coil of rop as in 1896.
1t requires 40 per cent. more grain
To buy a plow than in 1896.
1t requires "a. per cent. more. grain

"UNCLE REMUS' LEAVES JOUR
NALISM.

The most remarkable writer con-
nected with southern Journalism is
Joel Chandler Harris. Of the Atlanta
Constitution. We do not know how
long he has been identified with that
leading Georgia morning daily. but
more than fifteen years we suppose.
He began editing in 1876 with the Sa.
vannah News as state news editor
His greatest distinction is that of an
author, the most successful of all in
h south. unless Miss Mary J.. Johns
ton success as the autho of a great
selling novel ecIipses the author Of
Uncle Remus," which will keep MS
name alive when ITO Have and %
Hold" has been forgotten. MI. Har-
rts Is a genuine, natural humorist. FIe
leaves Journalism for more congenial
work, he says. When interviewed by q
reporter Of the Journal he pleasantly
put the case in this wise. and the in
formation he conveys will interest the
south particularly:
Il resigned from The Constitution
yesterday. The fact possesses no i'm
portance whatever My resignation Is
not due to any grievance. I have sim
ply given up newspaper work in order
to devote my whole time to work that
is more profitable as We'll as more con-
genial.
Please don't make a splutter about
1t. I am too old to relish the brief no.
toriety that is the result of a newspa-
per article. Just say, in your kindly
way, that an old family boss, grown
tired Of stopping before the same doors
every day has kicked out of the lar
ness n proposes to keep the flies eff
in his own way.
II AVE a great deal Of work mapped
out which, if it is done we'll, will cover
several busy years. This work would
never be done if 1 continued to grind
ont editorial articles dav after day"
1t is to be sincerely hoped that he
nav be spared to work his plans
to a most successful issue, and that he
will be able to enrich still more the
rather scant litrature of southland.
There are many southern cooks pub
hshed, and a great many more are
written, but few are really of m.ch
excellence, and fewer Belong to the
higher realms of letters. They ara
transitory and perish with The using
or die still-born. There are scores of
southern books issued within five years
that have made no impression upon
cultivated and informed people with
tastes formed upon the great stand
ards. The Journal tina.
"in retiring from The Constitution Mr..
Harris has the satisfaction OF seeing
his son Julian, only 26 years of age, its
managing editor. and his son Evelyn.
still younger, it's city editor. There
are perhaps not other men of their age
in UGH responsible journalistic posi-
lions in the country. Each of them
seems destined to shine in he news
PAPER armament; indeed, they are al
ready doing so."

A CONNECTICUT RELIC OF BAR
BARISM.

We have never fancied but feared and
abhorred as a democrat all Blu Laws
and all attempts to invade he rights
Of freemen. Up in the Nutmeg state"
long ago a sea captain after a three
years absence returned to his home in
a Connecticut town. and arrived on
Sunday. He met his faithful wife as
she vas on her way to church, and.
with utmost propriety and with due
affection kissed her. He was arrested
for that very grave n unseemly Of
fence and put in the stocks for four
or five hours. That was because he
violated one of those mean deteStable
Blue Laws. Connecticut can turn UP
it's little nose every day at North Car
lima, and yet It is a hundred year
hind the procession in spite of its coll
and much money. The old story by
Dickens of the MarShalsea prison. in
London is repeated in 1900 in an old
New England state, and it is too bad.
Tell it not in Boston, preach it not in
the streets Of New Haven. What is
the grave offence limited at? 1t is put
ting a decent white woman in Jail in
New Haven for debt. This is tele-
graphed and all the facts are given. A
dispatch from AnSonia, Conn, states:
Under the ~chivalrouS laws OF Con-
necticut b mother Of four hidre
has been arrested and confined in the
county Jail of New Have for the
crime of debt. Mrs. Margaret Bsylan
of this city is the first known case OF
a woman being sent to h poor debt
ors' prison. She IS a hard-wTking
woman, who has done her best. her
neighborS say, to keep She wolf fron
the door and furnish \ home TO tha
foul helpless children left on her hands
by death. But things nave ger HI
with Mrs. Boylan Of late. Her bill for
groceries at the Central department
store grew and grew. The children
had healthy appetiteS The sum she
owed reached $5l b first OF tbs
month. One of her little boys was
down with typhoid fever. She had nc
money to pay the bill"
How pitiable, What q fin. oppartu-
nifty for benevolence and heIpt But
instead a Judgment is served and this
toiling woman is hustled to Jail, and
this too in the as rear Of the nine.
teenth century. The dispatch says:
I'm b name Of God do no drag ms
away from my sick boy" walled tn,
widow. But the officers showed M
mercy. They saw their duty and the,
did 1t without finching. Away from
the bedside OF he child she loved. toss

ing in the awful delirium of the fever,
they dragged her to jail"
That is almost too bad for belief.
Could such a piece Of cruelty be prac-
ticed in any southern city or county
There is no southern state that now
t~olerates Incarceration for debt. rhs
stupidity and cruelty Of the eighteenth
century have gone glimmering." Con-
necticut alone. or perhaps New Eng
land. retains such a rule Of barbarism.
Connecticut is one Of the northern
states that have a compulsory educa.
tional election law Paul Pryism is
popular up there.
