WHY THE PACKERS MERCER rs


CLNHG
The packers merger. as lately an
nounced, has been temporarily post
poned. This does not mean that the
agreement among the meat kings has
been abrogated. There has long been an
ironclad agreement among them for all
operative purposes in the market, both
as to buying and selling and to division
of territory. This is known and per-
fectly understood by live stock men and
intelligent consumers. The agreement
has been absolutely effective.
But the packers merger which has
lately been in process of organization
and which has been postponed had an
entirely different object. The essence
of it, like a multitude Of similar schemes,
contemplated enormou over-capitaliza-
ton. 1t was a stock-jobbing enterprise,
not a legitimate industrial proposition.
The. managers know absolutely the
actual average earning capacity of their
plants. 1t was not sincerely proposed
to capitalize that legitimate earning ca
pacity and to accept the investing public
as participants therein-not at all.
The plan Of the promoters Of the
scheme, as is apparent from the an
nouncements which they %prematurely
permitted to become public, wal to take
advantage Of the existing era Of pros,
perity. Of ~out-reaching adventure and
optimistic speculation, and to float a
vast mass of stocks and to unload
stocks, the volume to be fixed in the
promoters judgment of what the artih.
cial market would bear. Their purpose
was to do precisely what the captains OF
the ron and steel industries have actu
ally succeeded in doing. In this
scheme the dominant spirits of the
packing interests were careful to SEE
to 1t that they first m~ortgaged the full
legitimate earning capacity Of theil
plants and Of the various stock yards
and more, too, by bonds and other prioI
liens on their true earnings, which they
held In their own hands, leaving prac
tically tor the public such issues o.
stocks only as its imaginative spiri
might seduce 1t into buying. WheI
times should change, as surely they will

THAT POPLAR Uprising.

AAAAA ~ IN ~ ANp
The Mercerite press bureau has given
1t out broadcast that MERGERS renomina-
ton was brought about by a popular up
rising against bossism and the bound
less enthusiasm of the business men of
Omaha in favor Of a man who had
done so much to promote the material
growth of Nebraska's metropolis. Mer-
GERS victory at the Omaha primaries is
described as a 'resistless political ava
lanche that swept everything before it,"
AS a matter of fact, MERGERS triumph
ant triumph at the primaries was not as
great as it is cracked up to be. A change
of forty-fve votes in the Omaha pri-
maries would have defeated his renom-
ination. He carried the First ward over
Cornish by from two to six votes, and a
change of forty-one votes in the Fifth
ward would have elected the anti-Mercer
delegation in that ward. Out of the
total vote of 5,463 cast in Omaha and
South Omaha, emitting the Ninth ward
in Omaha, in which there was no con-
test, the Mercer delegates received just
1900 votes, against 1858 votes received
by the anti-Mercer delegates, or 337 ma
jority for Mercer. When 1t is borne in
mind that fully 700 of the 992 votes
cast On affidavits in Omaha at the re-
publican primaries were voted for Mer-
Ger, the triumph at the polls is not ap-
parent even If we discredit the we'll
defined rumor that $50 railroad graders
were imported from Iowa to assist in
capturing the primaries for Mercer.
Instead of being swept by a popular
uprising, Omaha was swept by corporate
cohorts and their allies, the rebate job
bers. The president of the Union Pa
ciic took an active hand and marshalled
the forces of that giant corporation in
person. General Manager Holdrege
made a personal anvas for Mercer and
the managers of the other railroads
touched the button that set the brass
collared brigade in motion. The clerks
in railroad headquarters were given a
half-holiday at the expense of the com
pany to fall dn line, and the railroad
bank repositories were also actively en-.
listed in the popular uprising. Three
bank presidents headed the Mercer
ticket in the First, Eighth and Ninth
wards, respectively, and their example
was emulated by the wholesale dealers
and shippers who enjoy special favors
at the hands of the railroads. The
Standard OIL trust also took an active
hand by directing its general manager
to instruct and order all employees
drivers and clerks to work n vote fol
Mercer. In obedience to this mandate
an employe Of the Standard Oil com
pany was compelled to take his name
on the anti-Mercerite ticket in the Fifth
ward and allow his name to be placed
on the Mercer delegation.
Such an uprising may sweep the city
at a primary, but the reaction hat
already set in and will make itself fel
on election day.

'NaAA H|0NN
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness!
Close bosom-friend Of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how TO load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-
caves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage
trees.
And Mi all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel
With a sweet kernel: TO set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never
For summer has DER brimm'd their clammy
cells.
Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store7
sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind;
Or on a half-reap'd furrow sound asleep.
Drowsed with the fume OF peoples. while
Spares the next swath and all its twined
And sometimes like a cleaner thou dost
Steady thy, laden head across a brook;
Thou watchest the last %oozings, hours by
hours.
Where are the songs of Spring? Ay. where
Think not Of them. thou hast thy music,
While barred clouds bloom the soft-dyIng
And touch the stubble plains with rosy hue;
Then in a wailful choir the small gnats
Among the river shaIIows, borne aloft
Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies:
And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly
bourn;
Hedge erlckets sing, and now with treble
| The redbreast whistles from a garden croft.
And gathering swallows twitter In tho skies.
