He stated. in addition to that. that it cost from onehalt to thircequarters of a cent per pound to place it with the retailer.

After such a frightful exhibit as the foregoing and such an indictment and arraignment of the workings of a protected trust. still clamoring for more protection. we are not much surprised when the Senator from Minnesota is forced to admit that the people of his State are willing. not only for the pauper labor of Europe. but for the convict labor of their own imprisoned criminal classes. to compete with the bindertwine manufacturers and to break down their power to exact bloodmoney from the farming classes. I reproduce his statement on that point. It startled and pained me that the policy of this Government had driven any portion of its people to embrace such a desperate and wretched remedy for the cancerous. consuming evils thrust uponthem.
