The Nezperce herald. (Nezperce, Idaho) 1900-1957, 1916-02-17

We are informed through the
international Harvester Co. that
there viii be a material advance
in the price OF binder tiwne the
coming season because a complete
monopoly OF the SiSal output OF
Yucatan, Mexico, has been OBJ
tanned hy a committee to regulate
the SiSal 6bre market, created by
Yueatan law. The Harvester Co.
points that when the advance in
twine prices is felt, the blame
should Be placed upon the Yucca
tan organization and not upon
the aQerlean manufacturers.
Quite true. and correct. just the
same as any monopoly in this
grand old United States, foStered.
Allotted and tempered BY a high
protective tariff law is to blame
for extortionaTe rieeS.
