ggar. In 1892 vast ebnident
game was played by the Demo
cratic. party. It was Populist

bel and campaign slander sue
cessfully identified the Republi-
can party with corporations and
trusts. Masses of deluded voters
were persuaded that Cleveland
Grover Cleveland, think of
that was the foe of Wall Street
and the money power. The
Homestead strike added to all
this habitation of lies used at the
Democratic headquarters in the
campaign Of 1892 a touch of bit
ter popular feeling on "labor. .
'This is not that kind Of a year.
Every body KNOWS that, even
men quoting the returns for 1892.
The issue of trusts and corpora

velt and not Alton B. Parker to
whom the trust object. No one
is this year going to vote for
Parker, the Democratic candi-
date, because he is the foe of
Wall Street and the money
power. Rather otherwise. These
are the forces for Parker. Bel
mont represented and led them
in the st. Louis convention.
They are against Roosevelt.
"No, gentlemen, you fooled
the people in 1892 by the alliance
of mob and monopoly. You can
not fool the people again.
Much."has come since. It was
possible, by a lying charge, to
make doubtful the position Of the
Republican party then. It is
not possible now. Roosevelt has
made his position clear. A Re-
publican Administration and Re-
publican Congress have brought
trusts and corporations, and con-
solidations and com binations, un-
der the control of law. The land
knows it. The voter sees it.
The people understand. The de-
feat and deception of 1892 can
not be repeated. This is not
that kind of a year. "-Philadel-

MANY WHITE POTATOES BEING SHIPPED

The shipping of white potatoes from
lower Delaware for city markets has be-
come an important industry, and at
Frankford and Selbyville, two of the
principal shipping points in Sussex coun.
ty, one freight train was filled one day
last week. At these two stations the po-
tatoes come in an almost endless stream
and the growers are paid in cash from
$1.40 to $3.50 per barrel. With this big
yeild-growers are complaining that there
is not more than half crop. When the
potatoes, which are packed in barrels and
piled high on wagons, drawn by mules,
come near the stations, buyers from Phila.
delphia and New York jump up on the
wagons ard keep up spirited bidding
while the wagon is drawn up nearer the
station. White potatoes, most of which
are grown for Philadelphia markets, now
occupy larger acreage in lower Delaware
than either wheat or corn.-Ex.

A FEW FACTS

Mr.. EDITOR -In your issue of the 9th
inst, one signing himself J. F. Harding,
claims to represent the Creamery Package
Manufacturing Co., of Chicago, and the
Casiem Co., of America, New York and
Bellows Falls, and invites inquirers and
Investigations.
We have made some investigations and
find that he is employed by the former,
but not the latter of the two companies
that Mr.. Collingwood of the Rural Ne,r.
Yorker never owned an interest in any
creamery that most of the creameries
which Mr.. Harding boasts of organizing,
have not been running long enough to
prove themselves permanently successful;
that the same outfit which Mr.. Harding
wants 81, 600 for, can be bought from the
very company he represents for about
~, 900 less money, and that MIR. Harding
only gives the year his higll-priced re-
ports are for when it best suits lis
purpose.
The report of the Prattsville Creamery
Co. published in your last issue is for the
year 1902, and three days before that
creamery meeting was held, we paid the
farmers of this community 80 cents per
pound for their butter fat, one patron
getting as much as s1.66 per 100 pounds
for his December milk. In fact, the
prices we paid for butter fat for 1902
averaged 25 cents per pound, or cents
more than the Prattsville report figures
out. We are prepared to make casine
and sell it to the Casino Co. at any time
our patrons would rather have the extra
2 or cents per pound for butter fat, this
method will allow us to pay.
Mr.. Harding claims that all the cows
that furnish milk to the Prattsviile
Creamery are Holsteins. This may be
true, but l will obligate myself to give
Mr.. Harding 5000 per head for ten thor
oughbred Holstein COWS that will show an
average test equal to that shown in the
above named Prattsville Creamery report.

HIS IMP0vERIsHMEET

EDITOR OF TRANSCRIPT
Murder will out p' the writer would
gladly use more pleasing expression but
Ire can think of no other which more per-
fectly fits. Two weeks ago the writer,
through the courtesy of THE TRANSCRIPT
intimated that an editorial in the Ne,c
Era was inspired by some one other
than it's s>editor; l had no evidence other
than circumstantial lear marks" Since
ridday morning feHges last last however plenty ef
it has been. coming from New York, New
Berlin, Binghamton and Chicago conclu-
sively showing that Messrs. Cook and
Brady and at least one of their empolyes
is implicated in furnishing the Ner Era
editor with material from which he has SO
distorted the truth that it bears little if
any resemblance to the facts in the case.
The nature OF influence which Messrs. C
and B las over the NeU Era's manage
ment know not, but shall submit some
facts to show either the connivance of its
editor to aid Messrs G and B in their
efforts to prevent the milk producer from
getting the value of his milk, or else he
should retract when he says tits his duty
as an editor to show his readers what is
going on, either good or bad. Without
one exception every inquiry made by
either Cook and Brady or his employe
which contained questions to enable the
recipient to know of whom and what he
was writing, brought replies of the most
encouraging nature to the milk producer;
but that did not suit the purpose Of
Messrs. G and B, they were so determined
to drive me out of their do main that
they induced the New Era to father their
filth, while they under the guise Of friend
ship sought the acquaintance of the writ
er, in order l suppose to throw him off
his guard, and if their fond hopes were
realized continue to enjoy the monopoly,
while the milk producer as best he may
accustom himself to his impoverishment.
As The TRANSCRIPT permits space l shall
publish the replies which Messrs. Cook
and Brady had in their possession when
they made extracts and selections for the
New Era editorial.
