Senator Hepburn had no other SEM
ator with him last week when he told
some home truths to the ex-rebels who
would thrust the statue of the arch
traitor Lee into the Hall Of Fame uf
the National Capitol. The two men
from Iowa who have spoken with
burning eloquence about the little
bronze button" had no word to say
when it was proposed to loan the
property Of the government to house
the men clad in rebel grey who still
fiaunt the brA zen bars Of Confederacy.
Senator Hepburn may have stood alone
in the Senate but he does not stand
clone in the United States by any
manner of means. There xre thousands
upon thousands who have not forgotten
the lessons Of the war, who are will
ing to let the corpse Of Rebellion
rest in peace but who have no patience
with the persistent efforts to resurrect
the pestilential remains.

A LINCOLN SAYING.

This country cannot exist malt

Of Abraham Lincoln. What he said
as applied to human chattels may we'll
be applied to the industrial situation
of today.
The business Of this country cannot
exist half competitive and half nom
That is the chief trouble
today We are ina transition state.
individuals have discovered the waste
Of competition as far as they them
selves we're concerned and different
interests have united, consolidated,
merged to their mutual advantage
but to the enormous disadvantage of
the man who is still o.king under
the old competitive system.
The Standard Oil Company speaks
truly when it tells Of the wonderful
saving it affects BY system. concen-
tration, the elimination Of waste and
the use of labor saving devices im-
possible for less colossal institu-
tion.
But these organized forces of our
commercial life have the unorRanized
forces at their mercy. The man who
is competing has no show at all
against the man who is not. just as
Union Labor has practically driven
all other labor from the large cities,
go Union Capital is driving all in
dependent capital to the wall.
The immediate remedy seems to
be that each occupation should unite
to protect itself against every other
occupation. The farmers will unite
unless they wish to be the prey Of
all the other classes Of society.
The laborers, the retailers, the pro-
fessions. the newspapers every kind
and description of business will seek
to protect itself, for the "unorgan.
lied" will be the legitimate prey Of
all.
After q while we will see the folly
Of it all, There will come time Of
mutual disarmament, the different
"Unions' and Combines will Civ.

people Of the future will look bscl
with just as much satisfaction at ou

nothing for them. They were extra

duce to sell, the price rose. putting
these articles Of food out Of the reach
of the workingman and at the same

The cold storage plant has acted as

mer the steady demand it has afforded
has kept the price from going to bed
rock and has given the farmer q per-
manent and reliable market. In the
winter it is just as necessary for the
cold storage men to sell as it is fol-
any one else and the fact that cold
storage eggs and other produce have
to be marketed tends to lower the
winter price. If eggs reach fifty
cents dozen with cold storag.

We believe it was Moses who gave

the legislation enacted by the various
foreign governments during the last
three months which does away with

nations have taken a firm and direct
stand in regard to the Christmas
stamp in absolutely prohibiting its
use, and notice has been served on
all the countries in the world to this
