New York, Feb. 17.-The snow storm
interfered with business today in dry
goods and store trade was Indifferent at
both first and second hands. American
prints advanced quarter of a cent in
indigoes, MORNINGS and shirtings. Mer-
rimac staples also advanced lac. There

due as much to fear of round up of
smaller bears in the absence of many
prominent operators who were detained
by the heavy snow storm as to legiti-
mate bullish news from outside points.
June and July jumped up IL points on the
first wave of buying but Immediately fell
back some to 10 points under heavy
offers from room longs, Very little cot

being ofla touch go order at best and

Fall River cloth market news was the
most cheering received thus far this sea-
son. Port receipts were rather heavier
than expected and the estimates for to-
1norrow's inoyment rather exceeded gem
eral ideas. AS the session wore along
it became apparent that smaller holders
were rather anxious to secure profits,
while some of the more confident bulls
were inclined to favor a reaction on the
idea. One house sold at least $4,000 bales
of May around the opening and through
out the session commission houses We're
peddling out long cotton. Demand came
chiefly from abroad and the South. At
the close the market was barely steady
with prices one point higher to points
lower.

low man as to be prompted by sordid
avarice to regulate the prices by what
the market offers to pay. instead OF
what the philanthropic public is
willing or able to pay, he puts himself
on an equal footing with the inexor-
able fiend who is rich and becomes
part of trust"
The trusts must go. Unlimited
| financial success has become an un-
pardonable sin with the multitudes.
The working man must live, and what
he lives on must be offered to him at
a price he is able to pay, not what the
man who sells it is able TO get for it.
The custom Of labor organizations fix
ing the price of labor a. what they
want, instead of what a person Is
able to pay or have it done elsewhere
for, can never be applied to those who
do not work for living. The man Of
money should live for the man who
hasn't. He has no right to buy
things and sell them at his own
price. He must consult the pocket of
the public. In the first place, he
has no moral right to have dead
coolies Of money when there are so
many Of us who have none. II he
has it anyhow, he has no right to
invest it so as to get more. He
ought to be satisfied.
II he buys mp all the cats in
Christendom. and pays for them, he
has violated q sacred law Of the land,
for he will then own all the cats,
and nobody will be able to get cats
unless he pays him his price, for
cats do not grow on trees nowadays,
and it is entirely out of the ques-
tion to expect people to do without
them.
There is one thing certain, however.
The beef trust will never touch us.
After the cows have fattened on our
grass and flowers, we can sell them
for a fortune. buy few more brick
streets, divide up the rest and every
body will be able to pay that sl.s5
tax.

ARMOUR OPENING.

BEEF TRUST REFLECTIONS.

The beef trust-how formidable il
sounds One would infer from the
wild rawlings Of the yellow press and
their country satellites that the base
and cunning money barons have cor.
nered all the cattle in the universe
and charge an admission price just
to look at it. The people devour their
steak and roast with unwonted relish,
rs they read Of the beef trust in the
daily paper and sigh with pathetic
longing as they imagine it may be
their last. Even the hash bids fair to
become fashionable luxury.
But it is funny thing how trusts"
manage to spring up so quickly now
adays. 1t seems never to occur to the
average mind that if men control
something they do not produce, some
body else is as much to blame as they.
None of the necessities of life are pro.
duced by the trusts. Capitalists and
dealers must buy before they can sell.
Whether it is sugar, -four, wool.
cotton or meat, the first man who has
anything to do with its appearance ON
the market is the man who raises it.
He can sell it where or to whom he
likes. If he chooses to sell it to the
men in trust" because he gets a
good price, he has simply to pocket
his gains and let the trust face the
wrath of the people. OF course he
shouldn't this. lie should lind out
what the INDECENT consumer is able to
pay for it, and sell it 10 some man he
knows will dispose OF it for what the
purchaser is able to pay. This is
free and benevolent world, and the
men who raise what we eat and wear
should be philanthropists, with no
thought save for their fellow men.
To sell goods to trust makes them
particeps criminis.
In this meat business there
is no reason why vast majority of
the people'should be affected. In Pa
ducah we have no fears, for we know
the supply of cows is inexhsustible
We are daily reminded of il by what
we can see. We can step into the
yard most any time and find us COW,
and it would be easy to drive her into
the back yard, If she hadn't already
been there, and convert her into beef,
which is the way we would prefer to
have our cows served IN Paducah.
But to get back to the trust ques'
ton, there is nothing to compel the
farmer or stock raiser to sell to any
one but the butcher, at a price that
will enable us all to eat beef. The
farmer or stock raiser being phil
anthropist, like the Defeating pub
lie, should dispose of his cattle Il
the butcher at . price that will en-
able the butcher, who is doubtless
also philanthropist, to put it on thu
market at a low figure, or, better still
TO give it away. If the farmer Of
stock raiser does not choose to do this
and SO far forgets his duty to his fel

UNwELCOME GUESTS.

The Mayfield papers do not attempt
to excuse the rowdyism OF some of the
Mayfield toughs who come to Padu.
cab every Sunday to have their little
sprees. Yesterdays Messenger truth
fully says;
THE many complimentary adver-
tisements under glazing headlines in
the Monday Psducah papers almost
weekly, giving accounts of free -for-all
fights, etc, is easily explained when it
is known that every Sunday from
twenty-five to fifty of Our tough,
would-be DULLES HE themselves Off to
the capital Of McCracken with no
other intention than to fire up on river
water co and proceed TO take the
town by storm and make Rome
howl" Patience ceases to he viz
tue after while. and it is not
strange to the thoughtful that the
city authorities of Paducah should
get tired of such practices; nor is it
strange that so many of our boys pay
heavy fines or land in the city bas-
tile"
This is the proper way TO look at
it. A great deal could be said by
the Paducah papers that is not said
for fear of hurting our neighbours
feelings, and the Mayfeld toughs do
a great deal here that is never pub
lished n the papers. If the Mayheld
papers can effect reform among
her rowdy element she will have
achieved one thing that the Paducah
police have never succeeded in doing
and if they can break up these regular
weekly visits to us they will confer
favor that will be appreciated.

1t is due Councilman Hummel, who
has been accused of deriving benefit
from contracts with the city by reason
of being the local agent of a company
that furnishes bonds to city officials,
to say that he derives no benefit from
any contract with the city. The only
contract that exists in connection with
the bonds that are given in his COM
pany is between the official and the
company. The city pays out no
money, and figures in 1t in no way.
