AGOOD WORD FROM MORTON

Forty flvo years ago I camo to Ne
braska It was then more than t00

to any railroad Capital was individual
Tliero was no corporation anywhere
within tho limits of tho territory There
wero very fow corporations in Iowa or
Missouri
Tho first corn planted on tho farm
where I lived in lSiS and havo lived
over sinco was dropped by hand and cov
ered with hoes So was tho socond crop
But tho man with tho hoo has dropped
Tho villugo blacksmith who niado hoes
has been crushed out by tho cruel com
petition of combined capital Thoro aro
today 10000000 acres planted to corn in
Nobniska It promised a yield of 80
bushels to tho aero This will make an
average of JOO000000 bushols for tho
stato If the hoo and tho man with tho
hoo who dropped tho corn with his
lingers had never been supplanted by
the doublod rowod two horso corn
planter aud in tillago crushed out by
doublod rowed cultivators suoh a
breadth of corn would havo been an im
possibility Combinations of capital
made tho corn planters mado cultivators
crushed out tho villago blacksmith anil
relegated tho man with tho hoo to over
lasting inutility
But tho great multitudo of mouths
which consume food made from corn
get this food at a less price than thoy
over did before and for a very small
por cent of what tho cost of corn food
would havo been at this timo if it had
continued to be plunted and cultivated
by a man with a hoo
Theso samples aro illustrative of tho
fact that all theso great combinations of
capital whilo thoy may put out of
t a vast number of traveling
1 others differently employed
thoy also reduce competitive wasto
Tho traveling men and all their expen
ses havo been paid invariably by tho
consumexs of tho goods which thoy sold
Tho cutiro advancement and improve
