If the trusts could not charge him
their enormous profits on what he is
compelled to buy, and this the trusts
are fostered in doing by the tariff
which protects them and does not
protect the farmer.
Steel Trust Extortion
Why, the steel trust alone makes
$140,000,000 year, OF which $780,
100000 is extra profit that comes
through the tariff. The farmers, the
rich ones and the poor ones, all pay
large share of that enormous profit.
The Standard Oil, the sugar, the to-
bacco, the glass, the salt and hun
dreds of other trusts are similar
vampires feeding on the $500,000,-
100000 made by the FARMERS with the
sweat of their brows. 1t has been es-
timated that 40 per cent of the pro-
fits of the farmers goes to enrich the
trusts, and yet many farmers vote the
republican ticket and stand pat while
the trusts plumber them.
II any average farmer finds he is
not able to save much after paying
his bills, let him investigate the trust
prices he is paying and the tariff
schedules that protect the trusts in
charging those high prices. If he is
a republican, let him ask his repre-
sentative in congress and the senators
who represent his state why they
don't revise this tariff which is allow
ing him to be plundered by corpora
lions. If their answers are truthful
they would be compelled to say that
the trusts help the republican party,
and therefore the party protects the
trusts and lets the tariff alone.

PRESBYTERIANS
ARE In SESSION
Forty-Fifth Animal General Assem-
bly, of Southern Church
HELDATFORT WORTH
Most Important Matter That Is Up
to Be Considered and Disposed
of Is the Burning Question
of Federation.

Fort Worth, May 19.-Forty- fifth
annual meeting of the general assem-
bly, of the Presbyterian Church in the
United States (Southern Presbyterian
was called to order in the Broadway
Presbyterian church Thursday morn
Ing, with about 240 commissioners in
attendance. Rev. $. NJ. Neel, d. D., Is
moderator. He delivered the assembly
sermon.
Rev. DIR. j. T. Plunkett Of Augusta,
Ca, was elected moderator.
The burning question that the gen.
eraI assembly will have before 1t is
the disposition of the matter of feder-
alton with other Presbyterian bodies.
Many commissioners come expecting
light. but are open to conviction. 1t is
believed the majority favor federation,
with does not mean organic union. Rev.
DR.. Francis r. Beattie of Louisville
thinks the proposition will carry. The
Tennessee and Kentucky commission
ers favor the matter.
Hanover presbytery of Virginia will
ask for the creation of boards instead
of committees to handle the general
work of the church. 1t is claimed this
will give permanency to all acts of
the church.
Miss E. Grace Updegraff, the noted
soloist of Washington. will sing at all
the services of the assembly, and the
music furnished for the meeting will
be the best throughout that can be
obtained. Neither time nor means has
been spared to make this meeting of
the general assembly great success,
and all the Presbyterians in the city
are lending whatever aid they can to
further this object.
Among the delegates to the assem-
bly, are five who have been moderators
of the assembly. They are as follows:
DR.. H. r. Raymond of Starkville, Miss:
DR.. S. A. King of Austin, DR.. C. r.
Hemphill of Louisville, KY; DR.. ]. f.
Cannon of st. Louis and DR.. S. NJ.
Neel, the present moderator, of Kansas
City. None of these men will be ELI
gible TO the Office for a second term
and the choice of moderator will,
therefore, lie outside of those who have
ever served in the capacity.
It is announced that the assembly
will celebrate the four hundredth
birthday of John Knox, who was the
father of modern Presbyterianism,
next Sunday afternoon at 80 o'clock
Rev. Richard C. Reed, d. D., professor
of church history in the Columbia
seminary at Columbia, S. c., will de-
liver the sermon at the Broadway
ct"rcA m the occasion. This is the
first time in the history of the church
that the birthday of John Knox has
been commemorated and 1t will be done
this time on account of 1t being the
even four hundredth anniversary. The
day will be celebrated in all the Pres
byterian churches of the country.

NORTHERN ASSEMBLY.
II Is Holding Its Annual Session a,
Winona Lake, Ind.

Winona Lake, Ind, May 19.-The
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church opened here Thursday, and in
point of attendance, including COM
missioners and active workers in the
church ranks, will be equal to any for
mer meeting of this legislative body.
Before Rev. Addison Henry, the retir-
ing moderator. preached the opening
sermon, the commissioners spent most
of the morning giving credentials to
the stated clerk and receiving coupons
for seats.
The question which overshadows ell
others before the assembly and one
which will be approached with fireat
caution is that of taking the Cumber-
land branch into the general assembly
While the church in the north has
voted Overwhelmingly in favor of the
proposition and the Cumberland church
has given consent by small majority,
the commissioners realize there was
q difference of opinion on the question
Presbyterians in the southwest are
against the proposition.

IN BAD HEALTH.
Reported That Russian Admiral Says
He Cannot Proceed.

rlS SdnHOk TEOCCCo.
st. Petersburg, May livery dis
quieting reports are in circulation
about Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's
health. 1t is said that he has tele-
graphed to the emperor that II is i'm
possible for him to proceed. An even
ing paper prints a report that the ad-
miral has suffered a nervous break
DOM. No official confirmation OF the
report that Rojestvensky has request
ed to relieved from duty is obtainable
at the admiralty. Nevertheless the
admirars health has been the cause
of considerable anxiety. It is well
known that he suffered from kidney
trouble before leaving Cronstadt and
through the long voyage to tho far
east he suffered at times to such an
extent that he had to be carried about
on a stretcher. But the Russian com
mander stuck bravely to his post II
he is now compelled on the eve of bat
tie to give up his command the ad-
miralty would regard 1t as little short
of a national misfortune. Rojestven-
sky has proved to be a genius as An

he will show equal ability as a fighter
Should Rojestvensky be compelled &c
leave the feet the command will de-
volve on Rear Admiral Voelkersam

SOURCE OF ANXIETY.
Condition Of Admiral Rojestvensky Ex-
cites Much Alarm.

st. Petersburg, May 19.-Fears ex-
pressed here. owing to the reported ner-
vous breakdown of Vice Admiral Ro-
jestvensky. that the Russian fleet in
the far east would lose its present
commander-in-ch chief turn out to be un-
founded. Captain Zilotti, aide-de- camp
to Minister of Marine Avellan. has au-
thorized the statement that Rojestven-
sky has not applied to be relieved from
duty. However. the condition of the
Russian admirars health continues to
be a source of anxiety. 1t confirmed
the report that he applied to be re-
lieved. and may have arisen out OF
the virtual decision, in view of tho
condition of Rojestvensky's health, TO
send Vice Admiral Bierleff TO VIadI-
vostok. where Rojestvensky. in the
event OF his success in the coming bat
tie. will take over the supreme COM
mand of Russian naval forces in the
far east and occupy post similar to
that of the late Admiral Mackaroff in
Port Arthur and Vice Admiral Skryd-
lof at Vladivostok.

NAVAL ACTION.
Believed at Toxic One Will Ere Long
Take Place.

Take Place.
Toxic. May 19.-The reported de-
parture of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky
from Honhohe Bay northward renews
the popular expectation of a naval ac-
ton in the near future. 1t is believed
that Admiral Rojestvensky, having fill
ed his coal bunkers and re-supplied
the feet. is now in condition to assume
the, aggressive II he so desires. II is
the opinion of some that Rojestvensky
may make a demonstration in the vi
cinity of the islands of Formosa and
Pescadores and then enter the Pacific
en- route for Vladivostok. This is, how
ever, purely speculative. Everything
depends upon Admiral Rojestvensky's
plan, which. while as yet undisclosed.
may include an extended stay in
southern waters.
II Is reported that contractors who
