farmer who has tobacco
would rather see higher prices than
to hear the promise of
the Greenville Reflector. The
high price of cotton this year all the
more emphasizes the crime of the
tobacco trust in taking the tobacco
crop at a song. If the cotton crop
could be controlled by a trust,
the tobacco crop, the cotton farm-
would be as much the low
grounds as the tobacco
are.
The tendency, since the inflow or
gold from Alaska, has been for
everything to go up in price. Cot
ton had hardly felt that upward ten-
until this year. A small
of the increase may be
to the general upward tendency
in prices, but it is chiefly due to the
increased demand and the
supply.
The tobacco crop this year short
probably proportionately shorter
than the crop. The law of
supply and demand, if it works with
tobacco as with cotton, would give
tobacco a higher price.
What prevents higher
greed of the trust, which controls
the tobacco crop, is alone responsible
for the starvation prices being paid
for tobacco. Simply that and
