Among the sets is one of the Chin

nationalities and interiors exquisitely
done in the colorful fashion of old

labor. If you fix the price of
my labor you circumscribe my
actions and fix me to one plan
for my lifetime, without op-
portunity for rest or recrea-
tion.
How do the monopolists get
these prices? Take the plow-
mems of this state; all have
their annual conventions. They
come together and agree that
they will have just so much for
plows during that year, no
matter what we may get for
our products; and for the last
two years they have asked 100
per cent on the cost of produc-
tien. Thus that combination
makes a monopoly Of the plow
business. No matter what
agent or manufacturer you
buy Of you have to pay the
Same per cent.

speech might we'll have been made last
week by President A. C. Townley of

parallel more striking we may say that
the opening part Of this speech, omit
ted for lack of space, was denuncia-
ton of the press, which had quoted
Mr.. Smith falsely as demanding horse
whipping, hanging, tar and feathers
and other violence against public Off

as I. St. Louis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Louisville and
Cincinnati came together just they going to
convene next week at Cincinnati and fixed the price
of our pork for the coming year, just coolly as
the master sold the slave or the products of his
labor. Last year they fixed the price upon your
pork at 81 hundred live weight, and they would
buy all there is in the West at the same rate. Of
course they got it, and if they had fixed the price

on the farm II years ago it
took a $40 gold piece to pay
the taxes, and now it takes
seven and a half of them,
which is an advance of a little

packers put up the price another 40 cents, and
another lot came along.
I admit that there are some rich farmers in
country, but the rich the exception, and the
poor ones the rule. That is the difference. But did
your rich men, who do not owe dollar in the
world and who have their farms stocked and paid,
stop to think who fixed the price your pork?
Why, the men who owed the first notes for reapers
and sold the first lot of hogs fixed the price of
yours The price of your products, be it what it
may, is determined by the figures at which those
who must sell dispose of theirs. Those who must
sell fix the price for those who need not.
Is it not then worth while to have union of all
interests to together and be brothers in fact

we protect our poor neighbor and assist him over

this, that getting too little for products,

: Colonel Coleman has shown you what it costs to

he lives in Missouri, and all know what it costs

this is so, who fixes the price upon your labor?

had they to do this?
Certain people denounce me
because I use strong language.
Colonel Coleman called these
pork men scoundrels, and I be-
lieve it's a good word, for the
man who robs me is a scoundrel.
They combined to rob us. The
scoundrels came together and
fixed their price, and the pork
began coming in. The men who
were in debt, and whose notes
for these reapers and mowers
had matured, sold first, and
when they were through the
stream stopped. It costs as
much to run a packing house on
half time as it does for whole
time, and as the pork did not
come in they put the price up 40

I might stop right here and
not say another word on the
subject, for here is sufficient
proof that there is something
wrong in this business, owing to
which this man has accumulated
so much. How did he do it?
Has he rendered an equivalent
in the service he has performed
for us in transporting our pro-
ductions to market, or has he
not? That is the question. If
he has not, then we have been
wronged Of just so much money.
For everything beyond a fair
and reasonable equivalent for
the service rendered is just as
much stolen from us as if he

said, "Your money or your. life,"
