No Monopoly Possible.

The bill does not encourage mon0p-
oily, because producers who have a mo
nopoly of any particular line or who
make an agreement with competitor
to maintain prices are barred from
taking advantage of the privilege Of
preventing discrimination by contract
ing for the resale Of their goods at uni
form prices. A monopoly no matter
how Il is gained, cannot do business
under the terms Of the Stephens bin.
On the other hand, cutthroat compe-
titon in price has always been the
chief weapon Of monopoly.
The bin will not raise prices and in
crease the cost Of living. Producers
already have the right to sell their
goods at wholesale at any price they
can get, at what they are worth The
proposed legislation merely permits the
producer to control the retail price, and
If he puts this too high higher than
the public Is willing 10 pay-then his
goods will not be sold and he loses.
The cut price storekeeper that sells
goods at loss does not stand the loss;
he passes IL on to his customers. What
he loses on one article Is made up, or
more than made up, on another. The
use Of cut prices on standard articles
for the purpose Of drawing customers
into the store with the intention Of
selling them something else, that Is
where dishonest advertising" Is found
and where false pretenses In mer-
chandising' Injuries the public.
Cut rates by biz department stores
enable them TO kill of the small store
and the small towns. Those residents
OF rural communities. villages and the
lesser cities who want 10 see their
home folks injured that the large cities
may grow richer and larger should
naturally oppose the Stephens bill
Those who desire 10 see their own
viclssitudes prosper should support the
principle OF uniform standard prices.

reasonably similar. In each group the
farmers were divided into FIVE numer-
ically equal classes according to their
labor incomes.
1t was found that although the
average labor income for all the
groups was only 1887, the average FOR
the farmers in the first class-that
fifth of the farmers who did best
was Sl42l. In the second class it was
S642 The last class-the fifth of the
farmers who were last successful
got nothing for wages and lost, on the
average, $517 That is to say, the
interest on the amount of money rep.

equipment would have been $517 more
than the farm returned them 1t
should he borne in mind in this con,
nection that the labor income is mere
ly the farmers wages. and that the
family has in addition, besides in
terest on investment, the use of the
farmhouse and such fuel and food as
the farm supplies free of money cost
Other demonstrations have produc

| most any northern community, one

That year the average labor income
on 1873 farms in the same commun
ity was $3.50 and for the % more
successful farms $3.50 The amount o
capital represented by the losing farm
was a little more than the aver
age and little less than that of The
best farms.
There were, however. other differ
ences which did account for It. Tht

1t appears to The Banner that Yer
mont will be represented at Chicago
next month by eight delegates at large
rather than by four delegates at large
and two from each district. The rule
of the national committee is to permit
the states to elect their allotted dele
gates according to the laws and Gus
tom of the state. The new primary
law in Vermont provides for the cleo
ton of all the delegates by one con-
yention and, under the circumstances,
it would look as though they will all
be delegates at large. The Democrats
in choosing delegates to St Louis will
find the same conditions in effect.
