1t is significant that the farmers,
for the first time in years, are get
ting together on the high price ques-
ton. They know that while their
own products are bringing more than
formerly, there still is a tremendous
gap between what they get and what
the consumer pays. They propose to
find out where the trouble lies, and
it is more than certain that inves-
legations, as soon as they are started
will lead them directly to the head
quarters of the UNPUBLISHED trust mag
mates who control the railroads, the
food trusts and the express monopoly
But in the meantime, thanks to
the Supreme Court, from which there
Is no appeal, restraint of trade is not
restraint as long as it is reasonable

VITAL WASHINGTON NEWS.
By Clyde H. Tavenner,

BY CLYDE h. TaVenner,
Special Washington Correspond
emit of this Newspaper.
Washington, Sept. 25-"The farm
ers Of Pennsylvania sold forty-eight
million dollars worth of potatoes in
New York City last year, but they
we're not worn forty-eight millions to
The farmers. That is what the New
York consumer paid for them. The
farmers got three and a half millions.
This statement was made by the
Pennsylvania grange who visited New
York City to study market condir
lions. -
These grangers discovered that a
eold storage chicken weighing a
bound and half, sold for dollar i'm
Madison squane. For that same kind
4 a chicken the farmers received II
tentE pound. The farmers paid 5
tents each for apples, and offered to
eA the vender from whom they puF-
biased them all he wanted for two
SolRrs a barrel. Eggs which the
|armers sold for % cents brought 40
tents when purchased by the con-
lumer.
This yast difference between what
he faTmer gets and what the con-
umer pays represents the unearned
'rOfits that flow into the
.ockets of the railroads, the express
pmpanies, and the food trusts. The
bilOads get theirs i'm the form of
rcessive rates which go to pay divic
ends on watered stock. The ex-
resS companies get theirs by reason
I the fact that one supine RepubNi-
In administration after another has
sfused. to put them under a decent
bgulatiOn, and the food trusts get
leirS by maintaining unnecessary
orage houses, through which they
ieate' artificial shortages and thus
post prices.
Nearly an the periShable food sup
les watch go to the cities are car
ed by the express companies, OF
e equally monopolistic refrigerator
aes Of the food trusts. Thus the
nSuher pays a double haUlage bin
J boon as these products reach the
ties they are turned over to the
Cd trusts and placed in cold stor
e, ghere, they are kept until a
hOrbage' Is created. Then up &c
Ices.
If all the, eggs now held in cold
bragg were placed on the markel
morrow, said a member Of tht
Angels, "the price Of eggs woult
mble twothinds.'
What is the remedy?

AS TO SUNDAY CLOSING.

It seems that there is a law in re-
gard to closing theaters on Sunday.
If theaters should be closed on Sum
day, why should not the cigar stands
and ice cream stands soda fountains,
candy shops and other institutions
that are operated and patronized pure
ly for pleasure be closed? A good
clean recreation of any other kind.

NEELEY FOR CONGRESS.

The death OF Congressman Madison
leaves a vacancy which will have to
be filled by a special election. There
are a number of Democrats in this
district who would make excellent
good candidates, and who could rep
resent this district in congress very
creddtablg, but to our mind there is
but one man whom we should nOmt-
nate. He can make a better cam
paign, has, by reason of being can
didate last year, better acquain-
lance, and is in every way fitted ;Or
the place. TherA is no need :
primary, as he will be by far the
strongest man, and a primary costs
money. The committee should get
together, call a delegate convention
and nominate George Medley of Hutch
inson for Congress.
