LANDLORD OF AMERICA.

The president of the Illinois Contra
railroad has just bought 10, 900 acres
of land near Jackson, Miss. which il
to be turned into so acre model farms
and cultivated by scientific methods
to show what can be done. And
when they find what can be done,
they will do it.
They will increase their ten
Thousand acres to ten times or hun
dred times that many. They will
have their crews on the farms. as
they now have on their tracks or in
their yards, watched over by boss,
who will work them 80 many hours a
day and every minute of those hours.
They will have the latest improved
machinery and special men to handle
it. They will have chemists to anal
we their soil and tell them what fer
tilizer it needs to produce certain
crops, and to apply it.
When a thousand acre wheat field is
ripe, they will harvest it in day.
Having unlimited means behind
them, and slaves at their beck and
call, they can and will produce
corn. wheat or cotton, at least % per
cent cheaper than the small independ-
emit farmer can. Owing the railroads
and the steamships they can deliver it
to any part of the earth at minimum
cost. Being enormous producers, they
can also become tremendous buyers and
having the fixing of freight rates they
can easily corner and control the price
of bread stuff.
They can make farming to the small
farmer SO Improbable and uncertain,
that as the lesser Of two evils he will
prefer TO work for them rather than
to starve mis- family even though he
knows by so doing that he will ex-
change his free and Independent man
hood for the spiritless, hopeless life of
serf, and the comparatively easy
hours of the farm for the work of the
galley slave.
The insatiate greed of the Trust
Lord, when he has cornered all the
and commercial pur
suits and fixed the price of living for
the consumer, will then invade the
farm ana encompass the earth.
There are those who will scott and
sneer and laugh at this. But if the
Trust because all the trusts will
resolve themselves soon or late into
Trust if the Trust can do what it
has done, why cannot it do anything it
wants to do? If it can become Master
Of the commerce of the land and sea,
why cannot it become Landlord of
America? 1t can and will if the
people do not shoot it to death with
their ballots
