Newspaper Page Text'' ALLIANCE DEPARTMENT. ?/. E. NISRET Editor. Please notice in this issue an article on fertilizers by the agricultural department. It is best we think to buy the raw material and mix our own fertilizers, and thereby reduce the cost to a considerable extent. Also artielo on the price of wheat by Bro. J. W. Stokes. ' . . ? . HIGH PRICE OF WHEAT. A Card Against the Defense of i "'Jo" LeiterandHis Dealings, j Wusblnctou Post. Editor Post?You are usually so accurate when you invoke facts ] that I read with surprise vour at j tempted defense of "do" LeiterJ and incidentally of option gamh-l ling in yesterday's Tost. You characterize as.unspeakably wick ed certain expressions ot leading lcnights of labor and others, which recently appeared in a Now York paper. Tho unspeakable wickedness of tho labor men apparently is only less in your estimation than that of the un inantionable paper in publising tham. In your defense of the man and the method you appeal to the 'acts, and charge those who hold ontrary views with deliberately lecaiving the people u> to the facta. Can the editor of the L'ost he -erious when he tavs heiter lias not speculated or gambled in utnres or options ? The merest yro in the excha-nge methods cnowa that his transactions from ;tart to finish wer*? speculative surely, and the v -y essence of gambling. It is tiw , as you say, it- "bought the actual wheat in he open market at the prevail ng prices." Hut lie bought it dely because it became neeesary in order to win hiVoufstand ng bet-.

How, then, can The Post say that "if the cost of wheat has been increased, it is the result of natural causes oyer which no operator had or could have had the least control?'' It is begging the question to say that the increased price insures to the producers of wheat. It is not only untrue, but disingenuous.

Ninety day! ago a trust was organized by the leading paper mills of the Nortli and East, where the bulk of the paper used by the newspapers o the United States is manufactured out of wood pulp, and the othei mills of the country were notifiec that it would be best for them t? join the combination. Nearly al of the mills outside of the true sat down, so to speak and awaite< the result. Orders wjre not guar anteed to be filled (t any figun named by the consumer, an< prices began to rife shortly after 1 wards until thore has been an ad ? vance ot sixty anil seventy pe cent on the lower grades of paper and h stiffening ol prices on al kinds made in this country. Tin trust lias forced all the mills 01 the outside to adopt its methods and the newspapers are pavinj I the piper, for not one of them ha < dared as vet to increase the suh . script ion prieo on account of fir toll they are paying to the trust What will he the end ot trust r and combines, or rather what wil . be the outcome of this revolutioi ' in business. Are they not teac.li ! ing the people that cooperatioi I for producing and selling is th most profitable for the masses, am j whenever the lesson ha? beei I thoroughly learned, will not th . I masses demand that the govern I'ruent shall take charge of ever; . branch of business, so that 111 enormous profits now secured b the trusts will be used to lightei ljtheburden6 of taxation * Ver ' many people in this country favo fjthe government ownership o , j railroads, telegraphs and tele r phones, and the towns and eitie I ars rapidly acquiring control c j the water works and electric ligh H system, in order to furnish light 1 i and water to their inhabitants at t reduced cost. This is only an in j dication of the progress bein i made towards socialism, and th day is not distant when mor ' rapid strides will he made. Th ' trusts are bound to reach adayr reckoning, and it seems to be ver ' probable that thev will be diif planted by the government..

The time will come wher 1 they will be absorbed by the peo t pie ; that is, they will be run b> 1 the government in the interest o the whole people. There is a gen e eral underlying idea in the mindi 1 of the peoplo that competition i - good for business. This is wrong - It is co operation that produce r and sells at the lowest cost, am , that is why a trust can sell cheap 1 er than a large number of sepa e rate institutions can do, even ii ii spite of the sharpest competition ;, When the people all learn this, a 2 they will when every lineofbusi s ness has gone into combination then they will conclude that sine< ? competition has been destroyed . they would as well become tlr s beneficiaries of the trusts as ti I permit all the profits to go to i very few. In other words, th< tendency of all civilization i II toward 1 iam and t)i?? trusts e ! which are an expression of th 11 very essence of selfishness, an ti the strongest factor yet developei e'in the ultimate establishment o socialism. y ^ Still Another Story.
