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.

eight hundred infants appeared at a

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.

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,

world out and it don't owe mo a

mule in a corn-Held und I've got
enough. Therefore, I will cheat tlio
course ot nature and Jump the time

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.

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

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.
Whereas, A large Jproportion of
tho State of Oregon lays within
this arid belt, therefore be it
Resolved, That wo recommend
