account. A band of men ride into

Today the Kentuckians are fighting
not only for the right to reasonable
returns for labor and capital. but for
the very right to exist. Their enemy
Is the most relentless and most com
plete monopoly with which this coun-
try Is cursed-the tobacco trust.
Having absorbed all American and
perfected working agreements with
foreign purchasers of raw tobacco, the
trust laid its heavy hand on the pro-
Queer. In 1898, with a greater retail
demand than ever before, the price
paid the growers began to fall From
that time their income was steadily
forced down from II cents to 6 cents
a pound in few years-this in a
period when labor and living expenses
were on constantly ascending scales.
The trust finally announced that the
growers must sell the 1906 crop for
IL cents or go out of business.
Many OF them chose the latter, as
either proposition meant the same
thing. The growers finally organized,
agreed to sell no more tobacco at less
than 10 cents per pound and to per-
init no other tobacco to be supplied

they could help it.

the heart of the blue grass region.
They are neither ignorant nor law
less. They are fighting as free men
will ever fight with the only effective
means at hand against injustice and
crime their country's legal machinery
will not reach.
And the best feature of their fight
is that they are bringing the trust to
terms after holding their crops and
starving along COR three bitter, dis
couraged years.
