THE AGAINST US.

The Inteligencer says there is a
strong lobby in Jefferson City
working on the local inspection
bill, and then cries: Down with
the lobby" That's what we say:
Down with the lobby! Down with
the butchers combine and all other
combines and trusts, The follow
ing from the Kansas City Times
will enable our contemporary to
see on which side the lobby is at
work:
The butchers of St. Louis have
had a lobby at Jefferson City all
winter, and it has been active in
disseminating false statements and
unreliable figures. Many farmers
have been duped into supporting
the bill whom a clear statement OF
facts by men familiar with the sit
uation might set right. The lob
byists know that the bill had its
origin in the butchers association
of St. Louis and that it is the
butchers, and the butchers only,
who will be benefited. Taking
advantage of the depression in the
cattle market, caused by overpre-
duction, they have been able to
mislead a sufficient number of far
mers and stockraisers to make the
bill a dangerous one. They do not
want an Investigation. Their game
is to rush the bill through while
the hue and cry is on.
