THE BAG TRUST.

The farmers of the northwest sec
ton of the United States have had a
peculiar experience with the bag trust
an experience which should elighten
every buyer as to the dangers of the
concentration of capital.
In the ordinary northwestern way of
handling wheat, bags are a necessity
Their use is a relic of the times when
they had to be hauled long dis
lance to market, over poor and rough
roads. In general the practice has
been continued.
In the early days, the price of bags
was reasonable, being about six and
one-fourth cents. To which expense
was to be added the dockage for the
weight of the bag, one pound. The
purchaser keeps the bags, SO that new
ones have to be bought each year.
Not a bad thing for the bag manu-
facturers, even in the early days. But
they saw something better and grad
ually the bag trust was formed, or
perhaps we should say the manufact-
urers entered into "a gentlemen's
agreement as to selling" At any rate
prices of bags gradually advanced
from six and one-fourth to ten cents
and even twelve and one-half cents
apiece The result is that the farm
ers of the northwest have. protested
wrathfully and are now organizing to
build elevators of their own and avoid
the use of bags.
Trust formation always has the same
effect, since it does away with COM
petition. When factories combine,
prices advance as they did in this
case. If there are any good trusts
keeping down prices is not one of their
virtues.
AS it was with the bag trust, SO it
will be with the mail-order houses if |
they are allowed to crush the home |
merchant and monopolize the business |
of selling goods. Not only will your
home market for farm produce be |
ruined but when once they have cinch-
ed your trade, they will advance prices
as unscrupulously as the bag trust and
every other trust have done. The
mail-order plan is, lower prices I'M
til competition is crushed and then
raise them. Beware.
Buy at Home.

Cattle and Hogs Held Up by Stiff
Prices and Sheep Doing Well.

PORTLAND, Dec. Receipts fol
the week have been: Cattle, 757;
calves, 18; hogs, 1880; sheep, 5144;
horses, 103.
Cattle market holding steady fol
top quality, with steers selling al
$3.50 for best stuff. More medium
grade cattle were offered than choice
Cow stuff was about the same grade OF
poor quality that has been offered for
some time, selling from $3.50 to $5.75,
with just one lot selling for cents
Prime light calves are worth $500,
heavy ones $500 to $7.75. Bulls fea-
tured from $3.50 to $6.25. Stays
steady.
A big run of hogs for the first of
the week, but tops still held at 8
cents for three loads Monday and the
week closed strong with Is loads for
the open market and top quality still
going at cents and this price is apt
to hold until stock show season. The
show is billed for December 8-13 and
will attract shippers from the entire
northwest and is the largest show ev-
er held west of the Rockies.
Sheep receipts were increased from
every northwestern state this week,
still the sum total was not exception
ally large, but what the run lacked
in quality it amply made up in quail
ity. Prime ewes brought $500 again

POLITICS

The capital is invaded by suffragists
this week.
| 1t is now proposed to have legisla-
ton passed by congress revising the
national banking laws to meet the new
currency system.
| New York politicians are opposing
the nomination Of Abram I. Elkus to
the court of appeals on the grounds OF
his lack of judicial experience, the
character of his law practice and the
fact that his election was repudiated
by the voters at the polls last election
day. He figured prominently in the
deposition of Governor Sulzer.
1t Is reported that as result of the
light thrown upon the relations of GER
tain Tammany Hall members in the
New York state graft investigation,
Charles Murphy, leader of the organ
ization, contemplate following the ex-
ample of Richard Croker, establishing
residence abroad.
The Philippines, which are the sub
ject of heated discussion just row, lead
the world in the production Of copra,
the demand for which is increasing
more rapidly than the supply. They
grow the best coffee, cocoa and rubber
and furnish products for which the
United States spends $7O,0OO,O0O an
nually.
1t is said that President Wilson has
about given up hope of reconciling the
beligerent factions in Mexico, and is
most disappointed in Carranza, the re-
bel leader. Those close to the president
declare that he expected Carranza to
develop into the Moses of the Next
