' - GRAIN TRUSTS, MONOPLY AND FARMER'S UNION. For the Kejutet. 1 T he monthly condensed crop reports, re-ports, complied by the Agricultural Department of the U. S. from this and most other countries, or all the : world, rate the harvest of this year, ' as the poorest ever reported by that : Department, covering a period of over 25 years. And all other trustworthy reports agree with the U.S. Agricultural De- . ' partment in the prospective disaster, likelyto be consequent .upon the fail-' fail-' ure of crops for this season. There is no reason to suspect that the Agricultural Department, as well as all other, reporting authorities, have been bought by the farmers, to underrate the crops of this season; all agreeing on the general shortage, the Rocky Mountain regions, and parts of Russia, excepted. But there is very plausible reasons to suspect, that the grain-trusts, and all other allied an 1 related institu- tions, are united in their conspiracy against the farmers in keeping the ' prices down on farming produce. Most likly our farmers do not .know hew these wicked schemes are ' carried out. It is done on a large scale in the same way as in a small scale; if selling is to be affected, it is done by artificially making such article scarce which is wanted to advance ad-vance in price; or in other words, to hide its abundance, in order to get .a high price for it. And if buying is to be affected, the object is artificial- shed tears Ik cai.s-j voa Could d mo better for your loved ones, and the cause re membei; pr'S d nt V an g gave . timely time-ly wain.iu.', an I s 1 .wed us 1! slinctly the way we should do.

WoodsiioE, Jy to convert real scarcity into an " assumed flooded market. If you reproach a grain trust for their wicked scheming, they will tell you that prices are ruled and depet.d on the demand of the market; but they will not inform you about how they rule the demand, as well as the ' price. Let us suppose that we had a grain-tru.it located in San Pete; combined with almost all other grain trusts in America and Europe. They have got a very thorough system by which they obtain their data. VVe will suppose that last March they were in possession of at least half the grain that would be consum-; consum-; ed mainly outside the county, till : about threshing time. As soon as ; .the proFpects of shortage in the Jx crops, became apparent, say in July, they commence to pull for pros-" pros-" " '"7V Pff-ttve robbery, in that part of the globe,- whcrIhey-auUte ta make ,lthe most stir in the shortest time. They will Tfieri "commence to furnish fur-nish the market at a cheap price. ; When they by so doing have effected .a general fall in prices, they will buy all they can, until they get possession posses-sion of enough grain to hold the mar- ket; probably enough to supply the : main part of consumption, 'till some-: some-: time in the winter. They will be on the ; lookout all the time, to watch for chances, they know that people must have bread, if it is to be had. The v ' know just how far they can go, until they get the price up to where they ' want it. We will suppose' that San Pete produces yearly 3,000,000 bushels of grain ;and that the home consumption, consump-tion, is about 1. 000.000 bushels. The San Pete trusts.backed by their fellow-trusts, would keep their greedy and rapacious eyes upon these two factors. They know farmers will run into depth blindf ilded, the trust will then do as they lo now--they will not buy, in order to keep the price down then when our Storej are filled fill-ed with low price grain,and can carry tut more (because each stands for it "self) ami while the markets all through are kept down, then at once, when the prices are as low as they possible cat be brought, (that will say: the next thing to starvation rates) the Trusts buy all what is to be hail at that low price. Now these combined Trusts are more or less secret, and well governed. They move in concert, even it in different lo calities d liereiit measures have to be ml dopted.to the same end To hold the markets the Trusts must be in possession possess-ion of grain enough for that purpose. We will suppose that the San Pete Trusts are in possession ol about half the grain that will be consumed, with in (heir sphere.vW about harvest time. And they know there is still a patt of the ' surplus in the hands 01 producers and . stores; which they now have their eyes , on as long as tbe prices are kept down Well, at the Trusts have kept the ' prices low, an 1 manufactured a cheap market, as long as thev know there was any gr.iin thev cjuld buy; by the reverse means; the price is raised, when the Trust sees tiie time right for selling, . The one milli jii bushels surplus grain of San Pete, ought not to have been sjlJ.oriti bushel of it for less than a certs , per p mild, or one million dollars. But ' lot ih make a r ugh guess; what will it ..be so'd for? Let us say that at the 'highest it w II be told for 1.1 cents per lb - or 1550,000. ilence the farmers lost by tne scheme of tbe trusts $451,000 Who gets this 450.000 dollars? The Trusts. - The farm ?rs according to this true es-1 es-1 mate, have now been robbed of almost .half the value of their profits, in the selling o' t iis surplus produce. If you iliii.k now that the Trusts are done with yj i. you are very much mistaken. , There is s.ill at least one dozen of other T.usts and R. R.
