Tlis la the ugo of trust", which may bo Justly termed combinations against, the public, entered into by capitalists and monopolists in order to enhunco their dividends at tho oxpeiiBe of the consumers of tlie products of such trusts without re gard to.justlceor to intrinsic values. , In a recent issue of the Capital Jouiinaii a writer, over tlio signa ture of "Farmer," discussed tlio ex istence in Oregon of a "Hour trust," of which compnint is made, not only by tho farmers who produce tho wheat of which tho flour is manufactured, but by tho consum ers alto. "Farmer's" letter Js repro duced In a late issue of the Salt Luke- Herald, with tho following added by ono who signs himself "Consumer:" "In order to comparo tho condi-. tion of (he farmer and consumer of Utah with tho Mirno clashes of Orc gon, as affected by tho monopolists' trust, I will re(er tp tlio qutptation of prices of wheat and Hour, and draw conclusions thorefiom. , , "In tho Herald of December 14th I Unci wheat quoted at from 80 to 85 cents per bushel, (buying rate) at wholesale. And in tho sumo Issuo Hour at iflt.iW (for a ninety-eight pound suck I piesunio.) "Now, If tlio llguresand estimates of tho Oregon farmer mo correct, which I have no reason to doubt, we can arrive at a pretty nccmnto conclusion of tho proilts of tlio trust which deals in wheat and flour, by adding to tlio cost of manufactur ing flour tho dillerenco between tho prices of wheat (1:2 and 85 cents. "In such eases tlio following would bo tlio probable ie.su It in Salt Lake : l bushel client Wo J3.R! Toll, say M SncliH.Mij !0 Total coat of ono barrel, or two . JlllU'tJ-f'lKllt imhiiuI micuh .3 -1.02 "From the above amount deduct for bran shorts, my 80 cents, leaves tho actual cost (to the trus,t) of ono barrel of flour at fcUO or $1.70 for a ninety-eight pound sack, which ac cording to the Salt Lake quotation would cost tlio consumer $0.f6, from which amount by deducting tlio cost, JLliO, leaves a balance in tlio hands of the trust of $ 1.88. "Allowing for commission, SO cents leaves a net prollt of $1.6S on 4) bushels of wheat. Now, I ask tho consumers of flour, and also tho farmer who mist's wheat, is it not your duty us well as to your interest t!o 'sit down' pretty hard on tlio flour trust? "Cannot tlio farmer boo that this trust is liis most inveterate enemy, for wlillo for a short time, In order to afl'oril i uxcuso for raising the price of flour,, It udvunced tho price of wjicat, after which It. ordered wheat frou Oregon and SVashlng toii, thus bringing Into Utah foreign v. lteat to compote w ith our own pro duct, with tlio natural result of in jury to tho farmer, while- uflbrdlng but Might relief to tho consumer. "The Millers' Trust In Utah, us it may bo wiled, is a (wo-edged ma chine, destructive- alike to tho intor ot of the farmer and tho consumer; therefore, lot it bo abated. "Hut how?" Pi'ttici.Y mnrringe doesn't mmhu to bo u failure in Khiinw City, whore eight hundred infants appeared at a Iniby show u few days ugo. Koiiean scholurs go back almost to the flood In their traditions, and tho land was conquered by China as far back as 11?0 li. Q. In the year 162(J, a Chinese, army invaded Korea.' and Korea bought pcafo by paying tribute. fi They promised to give 100 ounces of cold, 10,000 bags of rice, 2000 rolls of silk, 10,"000 rolls of linen, 500 rolls of cotton, 2, 000 rolls of paper, 2,000 knives, 1,000 ox horns, 200 pounds of dye wood, 100 tiger skins, 100 deer skins, 400 seal skins, and 200 rat skins every year. For generations an embassy of Koreans., started from Seoul In Korea and carried these .pres ents, to tho Emperor at Peking. The embassy goes still, but the amount of tribute lias been 10380110(1. Ohlna now claims that Korea is her vassal, and tlio leading political is sue between tho two countries is as to whether eho should be regarded a? such or as a tributary power. The 1 ittor, according to history and In ternational law, seems to be tho true position. The land Is a Kingdom of itsslr, and it has Its international rights. It stands towards China merely as a debtor to a creditor, and Picsident Cleveland has recognized Pak Chung Yang, the representa tive of the Korean Kingdom as standing on tlio same footiug at Washington as tho Emperor of China himself. i , . ... i Tiik census reports, which are of course, only approximative, give the following value of orchard products in tho United States : For 1880, esti matcd.apples, $50,400,000 ; pears, $14, 1 10,000 ; peaches, $50, 1115,000 ; grapes, $2,118,000; strawberries, $5,000,000; other fruits, $10,000,000. Total, $137f 783,000. In 1880, tho census reports made the whole amount $50,870,154. The gradual Increase since 1850 was about the follewing: In 1850, $7, 723,000, in 1800, $10,091,000; In 1870, $47,335,000. "With the only excep tion of the decade between 1870 and 1880, the amount has much more than doubled in eacli decade. A St. Louis sucido wrote : "lam 02 years old. In eight years I would have been 70, an old, dilapidated, tottering fossil. I have played the world out and it don't owe mo a cent. I've made more fun (ban a mule in a corn-Held und I've got enough. Therefore, I will cheat tlio course ot nature and Jump the time to come." Statistics are credited with tho significant showing that had the workers of Great Britain saved only half their beer money for tho last twenty years, they would have on hand a capital equal to purchasing half the manufacturing plant of tho Kingdom. Tlio saino is measur ably true of this country. So fa n tlio mildness, of this win ter in tlio eastern states has been without precedent, at least for many years. It now looks as if tlio ice palace and its attendant festivities which arc annual features in tho north west, will have to bo postpon ed for a season. "HuNoitY Joi:," a noted Now York bunco-steerer who lias fleeced many distinguished poisons, includ ing Oscar Wilde, has been sentenced to nine years In tho Maryland peni tentiary, having robbed a Baltimore man. A Ki'ATin k was passed by tho last legislature of Illinois, forbidding tho marriage of 11 rat cousins. It vent Into operation Juno 15, 1887, und all marriages of cousins in that stato since that dato uro ubsolutely void. Twknty-kiout now granges havo been organized in Pennsylvania during the year, with an aggregate of 3,000 members. Tub Chicago Tlmessays it Is stated that farming laud of Illinois has de creased 20 per cent, in valuo since 18S0. Tub Wisconsin Stato Grunge will ask tho legislature for $2,000 to bo expended In a grlculturul education. D1K1). DURKTTK. At Fairfield, Or., Saturday, Jan. fi, 18s9, Mrs. Al. Dnrctte.

The following resolution was abo adopted and, President Apperson was rcnucsted to present it to the legislature: Whereas, The vast arid region of tho United States, once known as tho Great American Desert, is now known to be an immense body of high, dry laud, suitable for pastur age mainly upon which the Hocks and herds of civilized man have al ready superceded tho buffalo, elk, antelope and wild sheep, and Whereas, Climatic influences create a difference between this great Middle Mississippi valley on tne east sitie oi tno Kocicy moun tains and the lower Columbia valley on the west side, even a plain differ; euce between tho eastern portions of these arid lands as divided by the Rocky mountains, thus creating a diflerencc in tiio pasture plants re quired to maintain or increase i he capacity of this dry country to sus tain animals most useful to man in this region, from those of greater rainfall and more humid climate.
