At the issuance of the uotice about 600 blacksmiths in the shop quit work. Rewember these reductions in wages are all being made under a republi- can administration and after the passage of the McKinley tariff bill, which was passed, so they said, in the interests of the laboring man. The latest thing in the way of trusts says the Kansas City Star is the grain drill combination. The manufacturers of harvesters, of threshers and of drills have all formed leagues within the past few manths for the purpose of regulat dog their output and controlling prices. For these blessings the farmers can thank the republican party and the McKinley tariff bill which gives these combinations the right to form trusts, raise prices and force the farmers to dance. The democratic party is opposed to these things and some day not far off will right them all or the people will know the reason why. ee Mt is pretty generally understood that the U.
