The INDEPENDENT has received a
communication from the we'll known
advertising agents, Lord & Thomas,
of Chicago, asking us to print all or
a part of the circulars enclosed. We
presume every country weekly in
the United states has received the
same reque t. The circulars men
toned consist OF "a reprint from an
article appearing iia the Eeeaea;is..
April %, 1905, aud claimed to have
been written by ''well known man
in the business The subject Of the
article is "rhe Packing Industry
1t is an elaborate defense of the
packers combination (the combina-
tion is not admitted and their meth
cd of doing business. 1t upholds
their private car system, and acknowl-
edges and attempts to justify the
rebate system. The article quotes
literally from Commissioner Gar
fields report, especially that part
which claims the packers have made
only 10 per cent on their Investment.
We note also that the article care
fully refrains from shedding light
upon the matter OF the packers going
into the retail business under anoth-
er name, and charging another profit
which the consumer must pay. An
article from the Review of Reviews,
in pamphlet form, under the title of
s'The Beef Industry and the Gov
ernment Investigation" written by
Edward Dana Durand is enclosed !.
This. also, is an article which the
packers think does credit to their
side Of the question. Lord 81
Thomas say their clients, Mes
srs. Armour g. Company, are
large advertisers and they wish to
induce them to use more space. OF
course, Lord a Thomas sent out
this matter at the request of Armour
& Company. The INDEPENDENT will
not print their stuff gratis, and will
not print it for pay. except that we
are allowed to give our readers to
understand that it is advertising
matter. The Federal authorities de-
clare there is beef trust, we believe
there is 4 beef trust, and we will not
print matter calculated to fool the
public

tablsh the increase in the internal
revenue tax which was made to help
defray the expense of the Spanish
war. There is deficit in the nation

IT is we'll known that the sentiment
of our present congress is against
the reciprocity doctrine, which has
been endorsed by the people. But
there are signs indicating that con.
gress mag be forced to take favor
able action ia the near future. Ger.
many proposed to cut of trade or
have reciprocity treaty, while the
people of Canada want more favor
able treaties, and will either obtain
such concessions from this country
or from England. Should the United
States lose two such markets as those
mentioned through the determine
tion of congress to disregard the
will of the people, there will be day
of reckoning which will prove dis
astrous to some who now SO ably
misrepresent the people in the ma
tional Legislature.

This is an era of ed ucat;on in in

taken up the expose of some of the

timent has been aroused and we hope
much good may come from it. That
the search light of publicity has been
turned against the tender spot is
abundantly proven by the sact that

The railroads are now playing for
time. They want all rate regulation
postponed for two years, and their
henchmen in the senate say that
they will then take the matter up
and dispose of it in advance of the
presidential campaign. The claim
of the railr oad men is that the pres
ent is sea son OF education on the
subject, that nothing should be done
in the way of railroad rate legisla-
ton until the people have two years
in which 10 study the matter. 1.-THE
president could be induced to bite
on such bait, the railroads would
50 order affairs during the interim
and advertise their course as to make
many believe that there was no neces-
sity for rate regulation. But the peo-
pie would pay the freight when all
danger Of legislation looking toward
rate regulation had passed. The
railroads will do nothing Of their own
accord in the future. except as they

SOAP BUBBLES.
The Way to Get the Best Results In
This Pastine.

This Pastine.
Water that Is best for soap bubbles
must contain no lime. The water OF
wells and springs generally has this
fault. Rain water Is the article that
should be used II possible. 1t contains
no lime.
Use white CASTLE soap for the suds.
Scrape 1t in the water and stir active
Iy. Now add few drops Of glycerin
to the mixture.
In the city a pipe Is used to blow the
bubbles. In the country strong bit
of rye straw may be used. One OF Its
ends Is cut In four divisions.
With water and reed or pipe thus
prepared quite a variety Of results
may be produced. The bubble may be
thrown and caught as in cup and ball
until 1t finally bursts.
The bubbles may also be juggled
with. II instead Of allowing them to
fall on a smooth surface, as Of wood
or stone, the bubbles are dropped on a
piece Of cloth with rather long pipe
they will rest secure. Let the cloth be
held slack. Then a quick. slight ten
sion will send the bubble bounding In
the air like a ball. 1t may be made
to bound and rebound without burst
ing. In fact, two persons may thus
make the bubbles bound to and from
each other as I'm tennis.
Five or six bubbles may be allowe1
to settle on tablecloth Of wool. They
can be blown about and will not break
except In meeting each other.

TALKED TO w. p. BROWN.
New Orleans Bull Says He Is Going
to Beat New York.

Alderman H. B. Tindall has returned
al days after the adjournment Of the
general cotton convention which he
attended as delegate from the Green
vile Cotton Producers association.
While in New Orleans Mr.. Tindall
had a private conference with w. P.
Brown. who figured so conspicuously
in the cotton bull movement a year
ago, says the Greenville News.
Mr.. Tindall also met Frank B.
Hayne. a brother of Col. P. T. Hayne
and Major Theodore B. Hayne. Of this
city. Mr.. Hayne Is another Of the big
New Orleans cotton brokers. Both
talked very freely to Mr.. Tindall of the
cotton situation.
Mr.. Brown said that he was pre-
pared himself to look after the holding
Of 100000 bales Of cotton and that
one Of his clients was also prepared to
hold million. He said he had plan
under way by which he could control
the market by cornering the spot cot
ton, or rather enough Of 1t to create a
shortage and then he expected to send
prices upward, as he had done in his
campaign a year ago. To do this, how
Tindall said. for the price next year
would depend on a reduction Of the
acreage.
Mr.. Brown is most enthusiastic, "
said Mr.. Tindall. HE says that with
the proper support from the farmers,
he hopes to take away from the New
York exchange the control Of the cot
ton market. Instead of the manipula-
tion being done in New York and the
south following blindly the standard
of prices set there, Mr. Brown says
the day is not far distant when the
south can do the manipulating, fix the
prices for the staple and let the east
ern capitalists, follow in the wake.
For my part" said Mr.. Tindall, Il
am thoroughly convinced that the far
mers are going to hold pretty nearly
every bale they now have on hand.
They have passed the hardest part,
that Of doubt and uncertainty as to the
judgment of their course, and now
there is only the acreage question to
be settled, or rather to be carried to
execution. for 1t was settled by the
convention when the solution advo-
eating a twenty-five per cent reduction
was adopted.
