AFARMERs' TRUST.

III Z NAY REASONABLY expect the
w trust newspapers of the country
TO make a great deal of noise about the
organization of the So called Farm
ers' Trust The organization was re-
Gently formed at Indianapolis under
the name of The National Society of
Equity of North America" One of its
objects is frankly stated to be "to OBJ
tain profitable prices for all products
Of farm and garden and orchard"
We'll. why not? There are combina-
tons of nearly every other industry in
the United States. Why should not
the farmers organize for the purpose of
getting better prices for the things they
produce? Nobody in these days seri-
0usly questions the trite declaration
hat the farmer is the backbone of the
nation; that when the fields, titled by
his hand, fail TO produce in abundant
measure, the nation cannot be prosper
0us.
Now the farmers have reached the
conclusion that they have. for a long
time. been working harder for them
selves than for somebody else. That is,
they have seen their profits disappear
into the pockets of the middle man, the
commission merchant and the speeula-
tors who stand between them and the
consumers. It is in a vast proportion
Of cases true that the price of staple
farm products. such as wheat and corn
and rye and tobacco, have never made
heavy gains until after they have
passed out OF the hands of the raisers.
The man who goes from farm to farm
purchasing grain and other products
is natural "bear"-until ne has ac-
CURED the goods he is after Then he
is a "bull" Of the most pronounced or
der. Few farmers can afford to hold
tkeir stuff in the hope of securing bet
ter prices. Most of them have obli-
cations which must be met at the end
of the harvest and the result is that
they must sell for whatever the pur-
chaser viii give.
The new association proposes to erect
great granaries and cold storage ware
houses for the benefit of its members.
Money viii be advanced on the prod
ucts stored there and made a charge
against the goods until such time as the
condition OF the market justifies their
sale. The organization has many 9th
er objects. and very worthy ones, too
but those we have quoted are the fun
damental ones.
In many respects it is revival Of the
old Farmers Alliance" idea that went
TO pieces some years ago. The scheme
looks tempting, but its practicability is
a matter for grave doubt There are
50 many farmers or so many different
minds that It is extremely improbable

Question of Sex.
(Lippincott's.)

A bright little Washington girl, 4
years old. who is a descendant of Co
bright, the veteran journalist OF a dec
AIDE ago, shows decided ability to
think and decide for herself quite up TO
the standard of her brainy ancestor.
She was repeating her prayers at
bedtime recently, the Lords Prayer first
and, as is her habit, winding up with a
petition for blessings on the various
members of the family Of both sexes,
But this time. when she came to the
conclusion. she hesitated a moment as
a new idea struck ner. and then in a
most devout tone added:
Amen and a-women."
Why, daughter. you must not say
that. What did you say 'a-women'
for! asked the mother, in surprise.
Wen" replied the young philoso-
pner' didn't pray for women as well
as men?"

that all of them could be made to bind
themselves under any sort of agree
ment. However, The Herald is free
to say it wishes the promoters of the
society all possible success.
We cannot see where the public is TO
be injured in any way, for the fruition
OF the plans will simply mean the WHIP
ing out of the middle men of whatever
description and the giving Of their
profits to the farmers. The public will
stlh be able to buy what it needs at the
same cid figures.
