be used for procuring the passage OF the
charter, that WlnslOw afterwards told
HIN that this money was divided between
the persons named. Tweed also says he
paid various amounts to Wood, Frost,
Morgan, Blood, Bemis and the Others

being exclusive of the 100000 named
above. In the assembly OF 1871 he says

THE BEEF TRADE.
fresh Beef from New York TO Lon
don


Correspondence OF he Quincy Whig.)
New YORK, April IA new trade
has sprung up between this country and
Europe which promises TO be of enor-
nous benefit to both countries. Beet in
London retails at from % to 40 cents per
pound, which puts it out of the reach of
the laboring classes, except as a rarity.
Inc steamers were running
from New York to Liverpool
with very light cargoes, and the
passenger business had dropped Off ter.
ribly in these hard times. Beef in the
carcass had been transported from the
West to New York in refrigerator cars.
and the thought occurred to some one
"why not to Europe in refrigerator
steamers z" And so steamers were fit.
ted Tor the transportation OF fresh beef,
and the business began. Cattle were
brought from the far West to Chicago,
Toledo, and other principal points, fed
on cheap corn, and slaughtered, the car
cases packed in refrigerator cars,
brought to New York and put into the
hole OF the steamers, and in ten DAYS
the meat was exposed tor sale in
London, as fresh and sweet as it was the
day it was killed. The effect was tremen-
dOus. American beef was sold i'm London
for II and IA cents a pound, and the mo-
nopolists were troubled. They under
took to decry itas inferior, but trial
dissipated that notion and now England
is very largely dependent upon this
country tor its meat. The effect of this
trade upon the country can not be over
estimated. Already over $4,000, 900
worth has been exported, and the trade
is increasing with wonderful rapidity.
From this time forward there will be a
regular demand for cattle for exporta-
ton, and America will have another
source of revenue, something more TO
balance our demand Tor foreign goods.
1t will be big help to our agricultural
interest.
