FARMERS. A?D THEIR TWINE TRUST.
The New Yrk World la its investiga
tion of the twine trust says that the "re
publican farmers ( the we&tand North
west who last fall thought that "trusts are
private affairs," and voted with enthusiasm
to double the tax on the raw material and
to increase the duty on ial twine.are now
up in arms against the twine lrust,and have
perfected state organizations in Illinois,
lowa,Minne$ota,Xcbraskaand other states
to fight it. Their battle is already lost.
Their surrender must be unconditional.
"Foreseeing this advance in price, the
Mills bill put Ual grass on the free list and
reduced the tariff on sisal twine to 15 per
cent. If it had bece.ne a law the trust
would have been possible, but it would
have been a 25 per cent trust instead of the
35 per cent trust ; and with free raw ma
terial there would have been no excuse for
it. The price of twine could not have been
put at more than 25 per cent beyond the
cost to import the foreign.
"During trie past three years there has
been an actual decline in the amount of
sisal grass imported frain Yucatan, in the
face of a largely increasins demand for
twine. The price abroad of the raw mate
rial advanced from $65 per ton in 1SS6 to
$147 in iSSS, and all stock on hand has
bsen used up. The advance in price is
general all over the world.and is caused by
the scarcity of raw material.
i hy are the cordage companies "pro
tected" by a duty of 35 per cent on foreign
twine if it is no: levied solely to enable
them to form a trust and charge the repub
lican farmer 35 per cent more than the
foreign twine would cost to import ? They
are only doing now what they have always
done and what these republican farmers
have always approved of.
Vhy did these republican farmers vote
in favor of trust and a 40 per cent Senate
Bill duty on twine.if they did not desire to
pay 35 or 40 per cent more than it was
worth ? The advance abroad has only been
met by a corresponding advance here.The
trust has not exceeded the 35 per cent
"gouge," in which it is protected by law.
"The farmers of the Northwest cannot
afford to fight the twine trust. To harvest
"hy hand this season will be to harvest at
loss and to ruin many a small farmer. It
will not affect the trust. All the boycot
ting possible will not reduce the price of
twine.
"The farmers delivered themselves last
November into the hands of the trust, bound
hand and foot, and favor now the still fur
ther addition to the price of twine which
the Senate Tariff b'll will make next De
cember. Their objection to the present
increase, after voting for it, is illogical and
absurd. They rejected the relief offered
by the democrats in the last Congress and
can hardly expect sympathy if what they
asked for and received is not what they
wanted.
"But it is not on sisal twine alone they
will be robbed without mercy by a trust.
It is the twine trust to-day, but to-morrow
it will be the salt trust, the next day the
lumber trust, the sugar trust, and so on
through the whole list of trusts made pos
sible only by protection, which the demo
cratic party vainly asked them to destroy."
taxation bears with such severity upon the in
dustries of the'eountry and the necessit'es of
life required by the laboring classes, and would
supply the deficiency occasioned by such reduc
tian by the imposition af an income tax by
which the wealth of the conntry would be com
pelled to helpbear the'burden of taxation for
the support of the government." From all of
which we are led to conclude that our Senator
as unexpectedly hoist by his own petard.
On June iSth the voters of Pennsylvania will
vote on the question of constitutional prohibi
tion. The leaders of the prohibition movement
have so loaded it down with their own eccen- j
tive notions that it is safe to predict that the (
voters 01 that stale will decide adversely to
their cause by an overwhelming majority.
Their position in favor of removing the internal
revenue tax from liquors imposed by the gener
al government, and opposition to all Winds of
license, even where thev are unable to substi
tute prohibition, has disgusted a very large class
of voters whose sympathises they have hereto
fore ha !.
An American newspaper syndicate re
cently offered William E Gladstone the sum
of $25,000 for a series of twenty-five arti
cles on subjects of current interest. The
following reply has been received from Mr
Gladstone : "At my age the stock of brain
power does not wax but wane.and the pub
lic calls upon my time leave me only a
fluctuating residue to dispose of. All idea
of a series of efforts is, therefore, I have
finally decided, wholly beyond try power
to embrace."

NEW ADVERTISE!! EX 1 S.
HOIST BY MIS OWN PETARD.
There is a senatorial junta, called "a com
mittee to inquire into our relations with
Canada," perambulating over the country at
the people's expense. As every man of sense
knows these senational committees are not, in
fact, sent out in the interest of the people, but
to anoru republican leaders an oppoitunity to
collect a lot of cheap capital uion which to con
duct future campaigns, Our senator Dolph is
one of the committee and he, knowing that
Governor rennoyer has large sums invested in
lunibe- manufacturing, conceived it to be a fine
stroke of political strategy to pump the gover
nor as to his views on tht sn'sjct of tariff on
Canadian lumber, He chuckled to himself as
this concept ion filled his mind, that the gover.
nor wouia not uare to go hack on iis party s
views in favor of a reduction of the tarift',neith
er could he openly favora reduction of the tariff
on an article in whose manufacture he was so
largely engaged. Here, thought the man of
mule fame, I will get the governor in a hole.
Hut how different the aspect of things when the
governor's letter was read before the commit
tee. Let every one read the candid remarks
of one who thinks the interest of the whole
people are paramount to that of a single ind i
vidua! even though that individual be himself:
"I will, however, in deference to your request,
state to you that it is my candid opinion, no
matter what the character of statistics request-
ei by you may be.that the interest of the whole
pwple of this country will be test subserved
by the reaoval ol all burdensome trade restric
tions upon lumber as well as upon all other
articles of commerce required by the necessities
of the people. I am myself engaged in the
lumber business in this city. The company I
represent considers itself sufficiently able to
manage its business and prosecute a livelihood
without the intervening support of the govern
ment by tariff restrictions upon foreign lumber.
To confess that it was not so able would be to
confess its inferiority to liritiih manufacturing
establishments, which confession would not
only be pusillanimous but would alo he most
untrue. As you arc aware, Senator, I am in
favor of the removal of all restri.tions so far ns
issiL!e ujxjn the tra le of our r eor !e. To that
end I would greatly re IJce the national rev
enue procured from inijorts which nieilic! uf
