The Herald still insists that the real object of this mea-
sure is simply to preserve our home stock against the
rinderpeet and other continental diseases; and contends
that if the bill imposed a sacrifice in order to effect this
purpose it would be well worth passing.
The Star urges that the effect of the bill must be to
raise the price of meat to the consumers in London and in
all large inland towns. To prevent foreign cattle and
sheep from being sent alive into populous manufacturing
districts must, as a matter of course, seriously lessen the
small amount of animal food which the poorer classes are
now able to obtain.
