'' 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

wo may disagree about terms
descriptive of those acts, there
can be no rubbing out the fact
that tho price went up from 77
cents to $1.85 after Loiter bought
actual wheat. 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.
This increase in price

upon which the Cotton Plant is
printed every week. 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

r number of men all engaged in the

5 neither law making bodies noi

j But in spite of this, there is on<
f thing that in the course of tim<
1 will put an end to trusts in so fai
r as they are intended to lieneli
1 only the individuals that compost
j them. 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

then they will conclude that sine<
