Chicago.-John M. Setback. for 20

when After months Of treatment with
noted specialists OF America and Eu-
rope he appeared on the board Of

Farmer and Consumer.

Sixty farmers of Pennsylvania rep
resenting 62,5OO of their brethren
called on Mayor Gaynor, of New York,
last Thursday to complain that the
middleman was absorbing too much OF
the profits of their industry. Their
spokesman was Patrick Egan, former
minister to Chill. He is quoted as fol-
lows:
II have but to state that the pota-
toes for which consumers paid $780,
600, 600 last year netted our farmers
less than SO, 100000. Cabbages which
sold in this city for SO. 1875, 900 brought
the farmers 81, 800, 600 and milk which
sold to consumers for from $48,OOO, 600
to $40, O0O, 600 brought the farmers $685.
600. OOO."
Instead of asking Mayor Gaynor to
help them these farmers should help
themselves if the conditions are such
as their spokesman represented. They
should sell directly tn the consumer
themselves or through their commits
stoned or salaried agents. If the mar
gin between what they get and what
the consumer pays is such as they rep
resent, the only possible explanation is
a conspiracy among middle men to rob
both producer and consumer. This
conspiracy the farmers may destroy
,,,;thont tho mavor's aid. All that is
necessary is that they band together in
numbers sufficient to ship in car lots
and select competent and Trustworthy
agents to sell their products to the
COZ sumer. There is no law to prevent
this and they have no need for the
mayors assistance. A trust which
controls neither the raw product nor
the means of transporting it to market
and selling it need not worry the pro-

tors and are much less concerned than
the politicians about the partisan issue
that now divides the two houses on
the subject. The house will err fatally
if it allows the regular session to pass
without submitting this important con-
stitutional amendment.
The fourth mistake was in not pass
ing an antitrust bill. The decision OF
the supreme court in the Standard Oil
and lob, CO cases so imp; j ed the pres
ent antitrust law that additional legis-
lation is imperatively necessary. This
subject ought to have been taken up at
once. 1t causes uneasiness among the
rank and file of the party to ace SO
many democratic leaders in Washing
ton apparently Indifferent to the APP
. ling depredations of the trusts.
The regular session will doubtless take
up this subject and the party will be
greatly disappointed if the house fails
to propose some radical measure for
the retlet Il Inc puD'ic.
The fifth mistake made by the house
was in permitting secret caucus to
control legislation. Representativessof
the people must act in the open. eau
cuses should be public, at least the de-
cisions arrived at should be matter
of record-and there is no reason why
the proceedings should not be report
ed. There are signs of a change in
this respect and it is to be hoped that
democrats will remove this serious
cause of criticism by abolishing the
secret caucus.
Here is the balance sheet and it
makes most excellent showing for
one session. May the next session be
even better.

Democracy OF 0ligarchy of Gold,
Which is It2


Which is It2
Former Senator Aldrich is still on the
job. He's on it more than ever. The
job is different; that's all.
Delivering both ends of congress and
both parties to the money trust is no
small task, but that's what Aldrich is
trying to do.
This is not q hopeless undertaking.
To the man who put over the Payne
AIdrich tariff revision, with it's wool
and sugar schedules, all things are pos
sible.
The "Aldr,ch bank plan" is scheme
to "reform" our banking and currency
laws, and thereby create government
authorized trust for the exclusive con-
troll of the nations credits.
Such control is at present nearly an
accomplished fact. The Morgan group
is practically without competition in
the financial world today. There is no
man, business or corporation big
enough to defy sit.
The example of Heinze ard Morse,
the spectacle of the absorption of Ten
nessee Coal and Iron, the shaking
down of the KnicKerbocker Trust, are
warnings sufficient to convince the
business man who is sane.
Standard Oil is now in the Morgan
partnership. The Jewish banks are
members. The banks and trust COM

street. Railroads. insurance companies
end industrial concerns, :the heart and
arteries of the commercial body Of the
United States, ale in the grip of the
"uncrowned king" before whom even
our president and leaders of congress
bow down.
\ But why not give all this legal
form? Why not turn all the govern
ments fiscal operations over to the
gigantic trust 80 chartered? Why not
transfer the money-issuing function
from the treasury department? Why
not make this money trust the recipi
ent of all government deposits without
interest? Why not concentrate in the
hands of few tinanciers who now con-
troll the Morgan concerns all the power
in the business and financial word?
Why not give The power to make pros
perity r to break prosperity into these
hands?
That power would then be the gov
eminent. NO political campaign could
be made against it. Reform" would
, mean "hard times" The credit trust
would give the order to curtail. Money
: would be scarce. Loans would be diff
cult; banks would get their orders to
hold their cash reserves. The country
would be helpless.
| The creation of this money trust; the
charteriDg by congress of this monster
fiscal holding company, is the task to
which former Senator Aldrich has dedi
Gated his time and strength.
He calls it ."currency reform"
And Aldrich is right.
