Valuable Qualities Of the Gypsum that
Is Found in Fertilizers.
Referring back to The analysis, un.
der the item tri- or Bone-phosphate,
you will find that the fertilizer also
contains twenty-four and six tenths
pounds of sulphate of lime or gypsum
or land plaster, which are all differ.
ent names for one and the same thing.
Gypsum is good fertilizer Of itself,
and has special action OF its own in
the soil, breaking UP the potash-yield.

plate of potash. This gypeum, as
has been remarked, was formed when
the sulphuric acid was mixed with the
powdered phosphate rock, and it is
now held a prisoner by the lime in
such way that it has lost all of its
former caustic and corrosive qualities,
and can do no harm but only good in
the soil.
Under the item of gypsum we find
S.19 pounds of sulphate of potash;
this comes out of the kainit used in
making the fertilizer, and it contains
one and seven tenths pounds of actual
potash (K2 o. Under this item you
and three-tenths of pound OF muriate
Of potash, which also came out of the
kainit, and this contains 019 of a
pound sof actual potash; under this
item again you find 0.56 of pound OF
actual potash. This came out OF the
cotton seed meal. Adding the three
actual potash items together, they
amount to two and forty-five hum
dredths per cent (2.45) or pounds per
hundred. Lastly, look further down
the line till you come to the item pro
tein. You already know all tbout
protein as have written you so much
about it in previous letters This
thirteen and two tenths pounds o..
protein contains two and eleven hun,
dredths Gid pounds of nitrogen.
Now, when the State Department OF
Agriculture analyses fertilizer, it does
not make such an analysis as this,
because it would be too laborious, too
costly, and would really do no prac'
tical good; so they go at once into the
meat of it and analyze the fertilizer
for its available phospnorIc acid,
nitrogen and potash and calculate ~
value from these three ingredients. -

organized in state distant from the
territory"
Discussing the contention of the de-
PENDANTS that the enforcement of the
act of congress would be an interior
enee by the national government with
the internal commerce of the states,
creating those corporations, Justice
Harlan said:
This view does not impress us. There
is no reason to suppose that congress
had any purpose to interiors with the
internal affairs of the states, nor is
there any ground whatever for the con-
tention that the antitrust act regulates
their domestic commerce. BY it's very
terms the act regulates only commerce
among the states and in the foreign
states. Viewed in that light the act
must be respected. BY the explicit
words of the constitution that instru-
ment and the laws enacted by congress
in pursuance of its provisions, are the
supreme law of the land anything in
the constitution or laws of any state to
the contrary tanding'-supreme
over the states, over the courts, and
even over the people of the United
States. the source of all power and our
government system in respect of the
objects for which the constitution was
ordained. An act of congress constitu-
late commerce among the states and
with foreign nations, is binding upon all
as much as if 1t were embodied in terms
in the constitution itself"
To sustain the contention of the de-
PENDANTS that the antitrust act, if held
to embrace the merger case, is repug-
nant to the constitution of the United
overrule the prior decisions of the court
as to the scope and validity of the anti
trust act. If congress, he said, could
strike down combination between pri-
vate persons or private corporations
that restrain trade among the states,
surely it ought not to be doubted that
congress has power to declare illegal a
combination that restraints commerce
among the states, and with foreign ma
lions. as carried on over the lines of
competing railroad companies in the
exercise of public franchises and en-
gagged in such commerce"
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1904-03-15
TEE MEReER DECISION.

The decision of the q. S. supreme
court in the merger case has been hand
ed down and it sustains the conten-
tions of the government and the verdict
of the lower court.
The decision as rendered has been
generally anticipated at least to the
extent that those affected by it were
prepared. The result therefore may
not prove SO important in it's effect on
future combinations and acts of con-
gress in pursuance of the principles
laid down by the court.
The court holds that the merger is a
trust and is therefore in violation of the
Sherman law which legal enactmenth has
declared to be sound.
Justice Harlan says that in this day
there should be no doubt of the COM
plete power of congr ess to control in
terstate commerce.; all appropriate
means may be resorted to for that pur-
pose.
He asserted the power of congress
over interstate commerce to be as COM
plete as the power of a state over do
nestle commerce.
This language of the court appears
to carry with it the right of the inter-
state commerce commission by author
ity of congress to fix rates. which is of
more Importance to the public than
anything else connected with the de-
cision.
I'm our Judgment said Justice Har-
Ian, the evidence fully sustains the
material allegations of the bill and
shows violation of the act of congress
in so far as it declares illegal every
combination or conspiracy in restraint
of commerce among the several states
and with foreign nations and forbids
attempts to monopolize such commerce
Laying aside the many things of a
minor character and summarizing the
principal facts it is fndisputable upon
the record that under the leadership of
the defendants, Hill and Morgan, the
stockholders of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific corporations, having
competing and substantially parallel
lines from the great lakes and the Mis-
sissippi river to the Pacific ocean al
Puget Sound, combined and conceived
the scheme of organizing a corporation
under the laws Of New Jersey which
should hold the shares of stock of the
constituent companies"
Continuing. Justice Harlan said thai
this commission is within the mean
ing of the act, a trust but If not it is a
combination in restraint of interstate
and international commerce and that is
enough to bring it under a eondemna-
ton of the fact
He held that If such a combination
we're not destroyed 'all the advantages
