THE CURTIS BILL. 



Washington dispatches state that the 

 bill of Senator Curtis, designed to 

 force a settlement of the potash con- 

 troversy, will be again introduced at 

 the special session of Congress. While 

 this bill, which amends the law relat- 

 ing to meat inspection and importa- 

 tion of adulterated food, is skillfully 

 drawn to arouse the patriotism of the 

 heedless, the only purpose of it is 

 frankly stated to be to aid the Fer- 

 tilizer Trust, which is closely allied 

 with the Beef Trust in the fertilizer 

 business; and there is little likelihood 

 that its provisions would be invoked 

 in the aid of any other interest. 



Before the bill is passed it should be 

 amended so that its provisions can- 

 not be invoked or applied in behalf of 

 any trust, any corporation commonly 

 known to be or to act as a trust, or 

 any association of interests intended 

 to control prices or to act in restraint 

 of trade. 



So far as the potash situation is con- 

 cerned the American farmers can 

 choose between the German Syndicate, 

 which has been placed under the most 

 rigid government control in regard to 

 production and prices, and aims to in- 

 crease its American trade by selling 

 direct from the mines to the farmer 

 at reduced prices, or the American 

 Fertilizer Trust which is under no con- 

 trol of any kind and, as is claimed by 

 some, aims to restrict the consumption 

 of potash, because, it is said, it finds 

 it far more profitable to compel the 

 farmer to pay excessive prices for his 

 plant food in the form of filled mixed 

 goods, containing not what is best for 

 the soil and crop but what will yield 

 the biggest dividends on the grossly 

 watered stock of the fertilizer com- 

 panies.
