Good gracious, why? Surely that Commit
tee, headed by Senator Lodge and adorned by
Reed Smoot, couldn't have anything but
disinterested statement to make which might
hurt, as well as help, the standpatters who
must justify themselves before the home
folks?
1t is to be a careful inquiry, you know, into
why the price of food, clothing, ETC., has just
about doubled, and in some cases more than
doubled since the new tariff went into effect.
Nobody can tell, nobody can conjecture, the
reason, though indications are that we suffer
from "over- production of gold". No money,
we feast; good deal, we go hungry; and too
much, we starve. Simple, when you come to
think of it, and reason which the astute gen
tlemen will doubtless not overlook

has the following pointed remarks to make
about the prosperity OF the
The PRODUCERS farmer:
GAIN .tDo you know that small
WISDOM crop is caused by unfavOrable
weather, and costs 40 per
cent. for labor, in endeavoring by repeated
ploughing to much possible? Some
years ago, when cotton was sold at to cents,
mules cost $40 per head Now they are $500.
Corn sold at SO cents them the price is now 80
cents per bushel Meat has doubled in fact,
everything appertaining to raising crop has ad-
vanced. So in all Southern States outside of
Georgia, North and South Carolina, the planter
has, with 15-cent cotton, made no money.
Extra labor and short crops have offset high
prices"
Nobody has seen any wave of riches sweep
ing over the rural districts of the three States
named, either. 1t is reassuring to know that,
everywhere, is growing a clear understanding
of the fact that the 'high price" of anything
means nothing to the producer, SO long as the
combinations exist to scoop his profits and
keep him, for all his apparent prosperity"
as poor, or poorer, than ever 1t is simply
mad scramble-that accomplishes nothing but
to afford hearty enjoyment to the Govern
ment protected monopolies.
All summer long, the industrious bees store
up the honey that is to provide them with
food in the time when flowers are dead, the
woods are bare, and the grip of winter clutch
es all Nature. When the honey is gathered
and stored up with the mathematical nicely
and beauty the little creatures know, comes
Man and robs the tree. Perhaps he leaves
some store still there, so that there may be
more work, more gathering, more storing up
of fruitless labor next time.
The producers represent the bees among
mankind, and the Trusts strip them of every
thing beyond the meagre living which en-
ables them to continue their work, without
which all the world, despite its money, would
starve.

RICHARD OLNEY FOR

Regarded as Strong Cdndi-
date for Lodges Seat.

Boston, Nov. 29.-Sentiment in this
state is swinging toward Richard Oh
ney for United States senator, to sue
coed Henry Cabot Lodge. 1t is as
serted that Senator Lodge cannot be
reelected on account of the dissatisfac-
ton of certain Republican members of
the legislature. The progressive Re
publicans insist that they and the
Democrats control the situation, and
that Lodge will be defeated. The Dem
ocrats have been casting about for a
candidate, and are turning to Mr.. OIL
ney as the best and most available
man.

in President Cleveland's cabinet made

suggestion of Olney for senator. There
is protest, therefore, that the Dem

publicans to make "A combination thai
