Governed by LEGAL Prejudiceo.

CH1cAoo. November 2O.-JohA b. Weed,
one Of the oldest cattle dealers in the unioa
stock yards gives his opinion Of theak
Louis Joint convention of butchers and eat-
tie raisers % follows:
Il believe great good could come out Of .
general meeting Of stock growers and butch
en-, II it was properly managed, and Iprs-
sumo We viii have Q great meeting at st.
Louis; but fear its results, because II seems
to DO managed BY . little ring and their or
gan at Cheyenne. have been in the cate
business many years, and believe IN lestil g
well enough alone. This agitation Of the
question Of inspection can only be pr6duo-
tive Of evil It is made by few mon Who
want an appropriation, in order to secure
livelihood which they are unable to earn.
Local inspectors will make disease ont Of
their imagination, even if none exist. No
appropriation, NO disease. Il seems to me.
II there must be an inspection other than
now exists, that 1t should b an inspection
by United States officials, and not by local
men, who could be governed BY local fears
member their experience Of fifteen years
ago, and not let these blood-money
sharks hoodwink them. Legislation a. pro-
posed means SIMPLY giving employment to
q lot OF so-called inspectors, who will b q
detriment to the cattle and butcherinQ in
terests of the whole country, and who viii
give Great Britain and other countries q
chance to discriminate against the cattle
production of the whole country. Previous
agitation of this character provoked the en-
actment of q law in Great Britain forcing
tho slaughter Of cattle at the place of their
embarkation and prohibiting their being
driven into the interior. This lessened the
price of American beef 20 to So q pound in
tho interests of q monopoly, and tho same
TACTICS are being pursued by eastern butch
ers and their western organ at this time.
Cattle growers ought not to listen to this
cry of monopoly and at the same time give
themselves into the hands Of q greater mon
opoly which is intended to be foisted upon
them at st. Louis. The cattle growers ana
the consumers are perfectly able to protect
themselves under the present sanitary and
cattle laws, and do not need any special leg
islation, any appropriation or any new fan
gled special inspectors to protect their in
terests. The wolf will be in anti-monopoly
clothing at st. Louis, but his appropriation
buttons will CLEAN brightly over his shrunk-
en- stomach and his greedy teeth have al
ready been seen as he tackled the cattle in
terests hereabouts for Doodle. There is no
need for more legislation. IF cattlemen
will watch their own interests they will
squelch these men who are asking
for laws and appropriations"
