The matter of fertilizers for another year is the question of the * ~ e? ajwnt i/nu^n iu "ur i *rint?r* just nt this time. The fact that one concern, the Virginia Chemi cal company, has purchased all the fertilizer manufacturing com panies in the Gulf States, with one or two exception*, has beeu the occasion of som > uneasiness \ on the part of our farmers, and very justly so, for whenever the entire production of anyone article passes into the possession of one party, he pan dictate terms to whoever else may *? int any of said article. Now, as to this fertilizer busi ness, as we have just said the above company his pone into the open market and one by one bought up all the manufactories of commercial fertilizers in this and adjoining states. We are told that they have done this becaus under one management thoy can conduct the business on a more economical plau, and that they will be able to keep out low grade and spurious goods, etc. These statements are all well enough as far as they go, and we have no right as yet to question the honesty of them. To use an every day expression this trust has not "shown its hand." While the quotations they are now putting out are an advance on last year's prices, stili we can't say that they ar out of pr>portion with the g moral advance in all the crude materials that are used in the manipulation of commercial fertilizers. Crude phosphate rock has advanced some 8TOIlY OF A Sl.tVI). To be hound h uid and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery. < Jeorge D. Williams of Manchester, Mich, tells how such a slnvo was made free. Ilo says: "My wife had been so helpless for five yea^s that she could not turn over in hod alone. After using two bottles of Electric Hitters, she is wonderfully improved and able to do her own work.''

Sold by Crawford Bros Druggists. d two dollars per ton ; cotton seed meal three dollars per toh ; dried blood, fish scrape and nitrates of all kinds have advauced very materially in price. Even the price of the bags in which the good8 are sacked have advanced twenty five per cent, in price. (Juder these conditions we cannot except other than that the goods manufactured from these meredients will advance in price The point for lis to watch is now ar this advance will be kept, in pro portion with the advance in the crude materials. In plain English, we must see that we are treated fairly and honestly, i How is this to be done? Simplv I j by concert of action on the part I of our farmers. If the Alliance I organization was as com >lete it. | its details hs it was in 1800 w* J would need have no tear of any combination in the world. We ! have allowed our memhprs to drift away from their subs; we have let the subscribers to The ; Cotton Plant fall away until na I readers are not one in live of 1 what it was in the year 1890 Still we are not "out of heart," as the saying goes, and notwithstanding these facts we believe we are vet in position to protect ourselves if it becomes necessary. We are glad to receive letters from dif ferent. sections of the state asking what action we should take with regard to the fertilizer combination. Our views of the situation are as follows: We must recognize the right of any party or psrties to concert together, go into the markat and buy up all of certain properties that they wish to pur chase, say these fertilizer plants. They manufacture what almost seems an absolute necessity to many sections of our country. If they sell their goods at a reason* hie price no harm is done and we hRve no cause of complaint. Having obtained absolute control of this trade suppose they do as our bagging trust friends did, why then, we sav "blow the horn" and have Jail the old 1800 members | meet at the "school house" or at "the crosH roads" and pass some 1800 resolutions, not cotton acre age reduction resolutions, but jute bagging resolutions. Why, in our I neighborhood in 1800 it was abou' i what a man's farm was worth to I ! use jute bagging. We need not j say, "I told you so," but this isj i truly an object lesson of the value I of the Alliance organization of lour necessity for having some t ...

It is our only hope forj protection and success along, i business lines. This fertilizer' I combination may be all right, but' we have to wait and see. Their !

We think it bent to nee exactly what they propose to do before we take any action, but all the while we can well tfear in mind that business is not conducted as a benevolence. Men do not traverse the country for the Durpoae of buying and consolidating manufacturing and commercial plant* in order to enable the consumer to purchase his good* for less money. The history of all trusts baa been to secure absolute control of a c rtain line ot hiMirioss in that the necessities of life he in their ban.is, that, they may act the autocrat, in such things as ought to be controlled by an un trammel commerce. There are a fow instances where prices have fallen m the apparent result of iriist influences. We helieve the Standard Oil Company have sold oil for less money than we other wise would have been able to get it for. There is the other side to this oil question, which is that there has been such a tremendous increase of consumption all over the world, that the trust came into existence on a rising market, and but for that fact it is very doubtful if they could have float ed their stock and still sold oil at the present prices, and that, with out this trust still lower prices would have prevailed from free competition. In conclusion lot us say wo will try to keep you p ?*ted on this for tilizer business Place your or ders with your Exchange for such goods as you are compelled to have, and let these trusts know you are going to stand be your own trust.
