It deals briefly but 'compre liSftsiye ly'' with the /jobbing . and : manu facturing business of St. Paul for the year - now closing.-1 Mr. Hall -is- so well known that the ' fact that the article is , from his pen is all the certificate needed of its character. He is authority on matters treated of* in the article. His po sition as secretary of the Jobbers' ".union affords opportunity .to get the j informa tion, from the most reliable -sources, and . his long and brilliant career as a news paper man enables him to put the. matter together in an attractive manner.

"f: "'.. -;y - 3 HAT RVTTER TRYST. - Political [. principles, .like, opinions on economic and soc.'al questions, are usual ly, colored, if not dictated,; by personal interests. A man is a protectionist be cause he believes that, the - consummation of that theory in practice will benefit him in a financial way. ; The ultimate- results on the community at large is too remote for his considerate. Trusts- and com binations are : opposed because it is be lieved that they. will in some: way affect, deleteriously of course, all those who?: are not in the deal. The .'average "human be ing opposed . toy. monopolies, becomes'■*. monopolist of the first water Che-mbriflenf' he is- 'admitted "'into the charmed circle of profit. . '."."*>7'.'■■■■ ;.'.'f -7 Of this general principle-- we 'have, a striking? example, in -the, attempt to. form a butter trust. Frantic efforts were made last year to pass the Grout bill and noth ing but 'the' shortness -of the session and. the. determination of ; the -administration to block the appropriation bill kept it from becoming a law. This year,. how-. ever, the advocates -' of the - butter trust have taken time by the forelock and pro pose to force their monopoly upon the public or know the "reason why. The Grout bill has been reintroduced and the trading stock arranged .for ' immediate business. ..-. 7 - -.. -- ■.--?' ';■-; .--• - - - y And yet these men • who are bent upon forcing upon the statute? books a.law. cre ating one of. the most barefaced monopo lies are all committed to antitrust legis lation. For their "attitude;: toward-this butter trust '-. they.,offerf no excuse' except the. time honored political gag that their constituents- demand it. The avowed;object?of the Grout bill is to drive out of the market oleomargarine, a cheap - and wholesome food, because it. interferes with the -monopoly: of : the • but ter trade. The people., must have; butter and if a cheap substitute can be kept .out of the market .the? price.' of -V* the ;A real article '.can be . maintained. : A ; more bare faced: attempt to secure government - aid in the formation of -a trust;never.'was known. There is no'claim that- oleomar garine is unhealthful. It is admitted that the poorer : classes must have 7 something of that sort or go without ; butter It is admitted that' oleomargarine, is superior, as a food, to the tower grades of dairy butter. It is further admitted that when colored the same as* creamery butter when the same * coloring • matter -is? used. in" both—peoplef will prefer oleomargarine to creamery butter at the present prices.V. For these 7 reasons 7the dairy interests 'boldly ask congress" to legislate one industry out of - existence "because it will have a ten dency to furnish to the.poorer?class of people a cheap and wholesome food which will come in ■'. competition -.with-; and pos sibly drive - out: their "own- .unwholesome product. - y ; y - » - The advocates of : the , Grout : bill have been driven from one - defense? to another until they have nothing. left but the argu ment on color.
