A GROCERY COMBINE.
Rumorsof Jobbers' Trust Heino
Circulated.

A grocery trade paper today an
nounced that a combine, to include ev-
cry wholesaler OF groceries in the Uni
ted States was in the course of forma-
ton. The announcement, however.
was branded as fairy tale" by the
Ottumwa wholesalers. The following
is the plan as outlined in the trade
journal:
1t is proposed to take over the
businesses of the entire line of whole
sale grocers in the United States. One
great corporation will be formed
which will buy outright the business
and good will Of all the firms. A cen
trail Office for the accommodation of
the officers of the company will be
maintained, probably in New York.
This central Office will, on all of the
leading grocery products, do the buy
ing for all the houses in the corpora
ton.
1t is not proposed that the compa.
ny will go into the manufacturing of
grocery products, but rather that the
business between the large manufac-
turers and the company will be
through one general Office. 1t is ex-
| pected that this will enable the com
pany to buy such large quantities as
to reduce greatly the first cost of the
| goods.
Ottumwa wholesale grocery mer-
chants laugh at the proposed idea and
say that it would be impossible to in
clude the Iowa dealers in such com
bine, as the trade is divided between
a number of houses in this state. They
say that the scheme is impracticable

Trusts and Tariff.

"The republican platform says that
the high protective tariff protects the
home industries and incidentally pro-
tects the American wage worker. Now
how many wages workers will believe
that it is intended for their benefit?
Do you find any provision
stating that the employers
|of labor who enjoy the bene-
fits OF this high protective tariff shall
pay their employees a minimum wage?
Neither will you find any provision
which says that the employer shall
share his profits with the employees. If
this had been done there would be
fewer graves of dead workingmen in
the vicinity of Homestead as the result
of the steel strike. Whenever the re-
publican party leaders go on record as
favoring a division of profits with the
wage worker, then and not until then,
will we believe that there is sincerity

And still the price of hogs goes low
er and the big drop of yesterday left
the local market thirty cents under the
price paid at this time last week. At
that time the best grade of hogs were
selling for $500 while the most that
is being paid today is $50 or de-
cline of thirty cents on the hundred
pounds for the week The decline
comes as no surprise and has been
predicted for some time by those who
should know as the big corn crop will
have a tendency to cause the hogs to
be rushed into market and the price
thus reduced.
