Farmers who are trying by combil

Farmers who are trying by combn-
alton to drive up the prices of wheat
and cotton are now joined by Ken
lucky farmers, who have agreed to
plant no tobacco in order to reduce the
supply and increase the price. We
should like to call the attention of these
agricultural monopolists to the fact
that if the Standard Oil should shut
down some of its wells, or if the an
thracite railroads should close some OF
their mines, or if the harvester trust
should restrict the output of agricul
tural implements, in order to force up
prices. they would bitterly denounce
corporate greed and demand more leg
islation to crush the trusts.
