A Successful Meeting.
The thirtv.sixth annual me

The thirty-sixth annual meet
ing Of the Minnesota State Horti-
cultural Society was held in
Minneapolis Dec. 8, 4, 5 and 6.
They had very interesting pro-
gram and a fine show of fruit.
The attendance was good as the
society now has total member
ship of over 1900, and is one of
the oldest and most useful organ
lzations in the state. They pub
lish monthly magazine of horti-
culture and yearly volume of
papers and discussions which is
the best of it's kind published in
the United States. ..f
One of the notable features of
thirty-sixth annual meeting was
a banquet given for the purpose
of raising a fund to erect a tablet
in honor Of a deceased member,
John S. Harris of LaCresent,
who was one Of the pioneer horti-
culturists of the state, and one
of the twelve enthusiasts who in
1866 organized the State Horti-
cultural Society, at a time when
very few believed fruit of any
kind could be grown in the state.
During the first few years of the
life of the society Mr.. Harris by
his zeal and enthusiasm did more
than any other man in the state
to keep alive an interest in the
subject of fruit growing. He

MASSACRE OF THE TRUSTS.

Mckinley and Reed were the
two great republicans of the day,
rivals in enthu siasm about the
system of protective tariff which
preserves the American market
to the American manufacturer.
That Reed should have survived
Mckinley but a triae more than
year is surprising, as he was
reputed to be in robust health,
vet Ihe died of natural causes.
Each of them left his farewell in
craftsmanship affairs in utter
ances just preceding death. Nc
Kinley's was in that famous But
faIo address. Reeds was IN an
article in the December number
of the North American Review.
"What Shall we do with the
TARIFF" will become famous by
the sudden death of it's author.
1t will become famous also by
virtue of it's own inherent crisp
ness and broad grasp of Ameri-
can motive. Like our own Sena-
tor Nelson, Mr.. Reed was not
half as much afraid of our gigan-
tic corporations as he was of the
enormous wealth of Europe.
"Shall we revert to the old-fash-
ioned style of doing business,
and abolish all corporate law?" is
the substance of much of his ar
gument, or rather raillery at the
proposed massacre of the So
called trusts.
The United States Steel Cor
poration is still doing business
at the old stand. The Wander
bilts still control several compet-
ing lines of Interstate railway.
The Pennsylvania Railway owns
or controls the Baltimore & Ohio.
The New York Central owns four
parallel tracks from Buffalo to
New York. Mr.. Hill and his as
sociates own and control the
Great Northern and Northern
Pacific. Perhaps it is true that
the stock of the Northern Secur-
tiles company is tied up in the
vaults of New York banks, and
cannot be used as collateral for
loans. Or, perhaps it has been
so used, and it is a burden to the
banks. In either event it is a
misfortune to Minnesota, where
Mr.. Hills railroad ventures are
held up pending this unwise liti
cation. No other end has been
accomplished. Nota single pub
lie good has resulted, if we ex
The Bemidji pioneer., 1902-12-18

cept the glorious nomination and
election of Salnnel r. VanSant to
be the second time governor OF
Minnesota.
No trust has felt it's scalp peel;
no gigantic corporation has felt a
restraining influence; and the
railroads of the middle west are
openly discussing increased tar
iff rates in anticipation of increas-
ed scale Of wages.
All that the colossal agitation
has done has been to put the la
boring man on the scent of high
er wages and the corporations on
the trail of higher prices. And
the whole result will be a steady
decrease from now on in our Ca
pacity to compete with the
swarming millions of Europe in
any of the markets Of the world
with our manufactured goods. +
We are outclassed in all South
American markets. Europe is
putting customs houses at the
mouths of all the riversin Africa.
An Englishman controls the Gus
toms service of the Chinese en-
pire. ) English, German and
French shipping agents swarm
in all South American and orien-
tai ports. European credits are
enormous where the footsteps OF
an American traveller are never
heard. The Standard Oil COM
pany, however, is found every
where; and it brings into the
United States every year, in gold
from fifty to70 millions of dollaas
or as much as the total gold sup
ply of the country, money gath.
cred in driblets from all the four
quarters of the earth, through
all kinds Of hands, European,
American and Celestial. ..s
And out of the heart of this
continent, where sailors are the
exception but where engineers
are talented, stands up man fit
for an emperor, and projects on
a vaster scale than all other Am
ericans IN behalf of Minnesota,
while the tomahawk of political
agitation is drawn, and his mas
sacre in the markets of the east
declared essential to the peace
and prosperity of the people
whom he seeks to benefit. He is
one of the trusts. What matters
it if his enterprises do mean a
million people at the Twin cities?
What matters it if they mean
a half million at Duluth? What
matters it il they mean that he
proposes to missionary China
with locomotives and steamships
made out Of iron ore from the
Minnesota mines? He, and all
other geniuses of finance and
commerce in America, must be
massacred because their con-
ceptions and enterprises are on
a scale commensurate with the
wealth and the greatness of the
United States.

We do not need to give all
the reasons why SCOTS
Emulsion restores the strength
and flesh and color of good
health to those who suffer
from sick blood.
The fact that it is the best
preparation Of Cod Liver Oil,
rich in nutrition, full Of healthy
stimulation is a suggestion as
to why it does what it does.
SCOTS Emulsion presents
Cod Liver Oil at it's best,
fullest in strength, least in
