CITY NE VS..
As1EADYING FACTOR
Industrial Concentration Seems So
to Be Regarded by VIM. R.
Merriam.
he Discusses the Question Before
Credit Men Of the Twin
Cities.

That the steel trust, the sugar trust
and similar combinations are not monop
olies, and that these organizations are
a benefit to the country at large mas
much as they are in the hands of men
delegated by providence, as President
Baer would say, for their lofty mission,
were among the contentious advanced
last evening by Former Governor
w. r. Merriam Of St. Paul,
late commissioner of the federal
census. The governor was address
sing the Minneapolis and St. Paul Credit
Mems association after a dinner given by
the latter at the Minnesota club. He
also admitted that the trusts, tho now
conducted with benefcience might pos
sibly depart from their usual course, and
might then require legal check. ..se
Il cannot help coming to the conclu-
sion," said Governor Merriam, that the
concentration in few hands of so large
number of the industrial concerns thru
out the country must have effect like
ballast on a ship to steady the situation;
that the evolution which has gone on so
constantly during the last half dozen
years. by which all sorts of productive in
stitutions have been welded together, has
resulted In placing the management of
these large concerns in the hands of men
of the highest experience and of great
financial strength.
"Is 1t not a fact that the iron and steel
industry, that the sugar industry, that
the combination producing various art
icles of necessity will be enabled, by their
financial strength as we'll as by their able
management, to adjust the affairs of their
corporations to changing conditions and
thus put off. or at least greatly mitigate,
the era Of depression which has been so
common in our country as far back as
1897? - I'D.
Many Of these great corporations do
not deal in articles that can be considered
monopolies, but desire distinctly to dis
avow any disposition to underestimate
the possible evils which may overshadow
the state from the greed of ownership,
or the dangers that may threaten the
public by reason of the unlimited power
that follows the massing Of capital, as
we'll as the disaster which inevitably
comes to the citizen in the attempt either
to stifle competition or to destroy an un-
fortunate rival.
1T seems to me that it is your duty as
1t is mine and that of every other good
citizen, to lend his ability, his good will,
and to utilize his citizenship against ev-
cry incursion Of capitalization that looks
to the invasion of the laws of the. state,
or in any sense appears as a public men
ace" 80. .@J ~ : -.
Governor Merriam also touched upon
the lack Of elasticity in the currency sys-
tenn, and urged that the treasury Surplus,
instead Of being Withdrawn from circu-
lation, should be placed in bankss Sthat
would give adequate security. = lis O.

New YORK, Dec. 9, 1908.

The 1903 domestic crop is not being
gobbled up with any great avidity. AS
a result of recent failures, the banks are
very conservative as to loans. The last
few crops have been more favorable to
the farmer than the packer, but this
year it looks as if the grower would have
to make some concessions. The caution
exercised by financial institutions has
also an effect on local business. Penn
sylvania Broad leaf, 1902, is giving good
satisfaction to purchasers, but stocks in
packers hands are now considerably de-
pleted. The 1902 Wisconsin is now mov-
ing little more freely, but sales are not
large.
Sumatra. Some conservative buying
is being done in this branch, reported
sales for the week aggregating about 500
bales.
Havana.-A little revival was noted in
Havana this week. and few compare
lively good sized transactions were put
through. One house reports business
of about 200 bales during the week.
Leaf.

MIAMIsBURG, O., Dec. 7, 1908.

The season for stripping tobacco is at
hand, but farmers are seriously inconve-
nienced by the absence of moist weather,
and the probability is that the crop of
1903 will be stripped out much later
than usual No buying of the new crop
is expected in this vicinity aid packers
have concluded that it will be good pol
icy to defer investments until the crop
has been stripped, as many of the lower
leaves became worthless during the dry
weather. These should be. excluded
from the crop. Some of the top leaves
were not ripe enough to cut out, and.
have been converted into fat-stems by
the cold weather. Farmers are supply
ing themselves with boxes for the new
crop.
The crop of 1902 is considered out of
first hands, although struggling crops
are now and then delivered at local
packing houses.

frame warehouse on North First street,
formerly owned by j. Bunzl & Sons, and

The Pope Bicycle Daily Memoranda

The reissue of the Pope bicycle daily
leaf calendar may be considered the
opening gun proclaiming the natural and
healthful return of bicycling. Col AL
bert A. Pope, the founder of our bicycle
industries and the pioneer in the Good
Roads Movement, is again at the head of
the bicycle industry. Upon the 366 cal
endar leaves are freshly written lines,
from the pens of our greatest college
presidents, doctors, clergymen, states
men, and other eminent men and women
all of them enthusiastically supporting
bicycling. Half of each leaf is blank for
memoranda. This calendar is free at
the Pope Manufacturing Company's
stores, or any of our readers can obtain
it by sending five 2cent stamps to the
Pope Manufacturing Co. Hartford, CT,
or LAB Sigel Street, Chicago, Ill.

"Verv little being done with tobacco;
about half the crop down and stripped,
L. F. Crafts, L. A. Graves and r. M.
Swift have opened their shops asserting
their own crops" East Deerfield, Mass:
Nothing doing in tobacco; only few
poles on bottom tiers down yet No sales,
not buyer yet to our knowledge. After
we have damp and get the tobacco in
bundles buyers may look around little,
but it looks as though farmers would
have to assert most of their own tobacco
this year." North Hatfield Mass: "Os-
car Belden & Sons finished packing their
II acres of tobacco this week. and will
assort for others. Dennis Regan and
William Coffee have their tobacco crops
down by the aid of steam. L. Ell. Wight
is the next to take down by steam; no
sales to report this week. .''-Cultivator.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

From our observation of the tobacco
crop in the Connecticut valley, it will
compare more favorably with the 1902
crop than has been stated in the Tobac-
co Leaf, from which we quote below
The first statement in the article is to
the effect that the 1903 crop is the poor
est since 1897. We brand this statement
as one written in the interest of the
buyer.
Those who had stem rot when the
plants we're young and growing should
next year put their tobacco on little
drier land, land that would not be pick
ed out as good place to dig fishworms.
Put tobacco on land not with hard pan
subsoil, but with a sandy subsoil, and
plants won't rot off, but you will have
to use fertilizer little more liberally.
where it was very dry, and everyone said
the plants would all die. The result
was most of them started well. and while
we watered but once, using setting ma
chine, we never saw tobacco start SO WELL
From our correspondents we have the
following: Sufield, CT: "The Bissell
and Phillips Syndicate have succeeded
in getting their crop down by steaming
it and have opened their warehouse and
are asserting it. This is the only ware
house in Suffield out of six yet in opera
tion." Montague, Mass: "There have
been two or three cheap kinds of tobacco
buyers around lately buying little of
the old crop and looking at the new,

LANCASTER NEW ERA, Dec. s, 1908.

Manufacturers appear to have about
all the tobacco they need at the present
time, and are not worrying themselves
about the future. That at least would
seem to be the inference sto be drawn
from their absence from the local mar
ket. Packers report business almost at
a standstill, with little expectations that
there will be much of revival of trade
until after the holidays. AS the last
years crop was sold in double quick
time they cannot complain. Usually at
this time of the year the bulk of the pre-
vious seasons crop is still on hand, but
in this respect the past year has been an
exceptional one, nearly all of the 1902
goods having been disposed of. The only
sales we have heard of are 30cs sold by
|. III. Weaver, and 300cs bought by Cos
linsky, of San Francisco. In all, 330cs.
For the corresponding week of last year
S33cs were sold.
