Huge grain and livestock trust forms across four states
A new alliance movement aims to unite Nebraska Kansas Missouri and Iowa into a vast grain and cattle trust. Frank McGrath president of the Farmers' Alliance says district alliances will police prices, fix a standard cost plus profit, and prevent farmers from selling to speculators. Agents in Kansas City Chicago and St Louis would monitor markets and enforce fixed prices, with a plan modeled on the whisky trust.
