THE JUMP IN MEAT.
Some Interesting Interviews on
Cause and Effect.

Some Interesting Interviews on
Cause and Effect.
The people continue to wall against
the increased prices charged for the best
cuts of meats, and the wall almost rose
to howl yesterday when they read the
interview with j. NJ. Larrabee. of LIE
Roy, which appeared in the GLOBE. A
typographical error in that interview,
however, needs correction. Mr.. LARA
bee was reported as saying:
This dry weather is no good for the cattle
m arket on stocker and feeder classes.
Prices have declined 50 per cent on
these kinds during the past week, and beef
prices have felt the decline to-dayto the
extent of % per cent.
Now, what Mr.. Larrabee did say
was
Prices have declined 50 cents a hundred
weight on these kinds during the past week.
and beef prices have felt the decline to-day
to the extent of 25 cents per hundredweight.
dWith these emendations Mr.. LARA
bees interview is a correct statement of
the cattle market. 1t is. however,
doubtful whether any reduction i'm
prices will be made for some time, as is
Indicated by another interview here
with presented for the delectation of
the public.
f. E. Luley. of the firm of F. w. Lu-
ley u Son, meat dealers, interviewed in
regard to the recent advances of meat
prices, gave the following facts: sCorn-
fed cattle have advanced since Jan. /
from 315935l cents to 54@51S cents,
being a jump of fully 40 per cent in
three months. Retail prices have not
advanced as quickly, because the meat
men were 10th to advance prices
Cnrffx &oI~
compelled to do so to protect
themselves the present prevail
ing prices in st. Paul are: Beef,
coarse cuts, to 10 cents; medium cuts,
12% to Is cents; choice cuts, Is to %
cents. While these prices appear high
to the average householder, they may
congratulate themselves that prices are
no higher. The wholesale price on
beef ribs and lOins is 15 to Is cents, so
the butcher is still working at consider
able disadvantage.
This advance in meats will create a
demand for coarse cuts, consisting of
soup pieces, pot rOaStS and the like,
which can be bought as low as cents.
1.-THE only source can attribute this
advance to is the doubling in price of
corn. which is the mainstay to feeders
of cattle throughout Southern Mime
sofa, Iowa and Nebraska.
sit will result in many advantages to
all concerned, from the farmer to the
consumer, to pay fair value for meats.
Large receipts Of medium cattle at
the stockyards the past week have
weakened the prices on this class, but
the deeline has not extended to corn-fed
and mstureS grades.
.'The buIef srs propose to reduce
prices at the earliest date possible.

has long been looked for by the local

100 per cent since last fall, and at pres
ent prices they are not getting their
money back. Retail prices on mutton
are: Breasts, ETC., for stews, TO 8
cents; shoulders, 1915 cents; legs, 15
cents; chops, Is to 90 cents.
'sPork cuts are the lowest in price of
any. Ten to 1219 cents are the ruling
prices.
''This advance has restricted ptr-
chases to some extent in the retail de-
partmentS.
''These advances have not been con-
fined to our vicinity alone. but have ex-
tended all over the country. For in
stance. New York prices are % to 80
cents for loin steaks; 25 to % cents for
rib roasts; Is to 20 cents for round

THE LAWYERS INCOME.

1t Comes Irregularly, and Thus
Leads to Spendthrift Habits.
New York Sun.
a lawyers income is not anything
like so steady as a physician's. One
lawyer who earned $4,000 during the
year before last confesses that he took
ia only $4,000 last year. Such varia-
tions are not merely frequent, they are
almost to be counted on.
1t is to such variations that LAWYERS
ascribe the spendthrift character of the
successful men in their profession.
When they make money, it seems to
come so overwhelmingly,a ,and, as it comes
after period of enforced self-denial, il
is apt to go as it comes.
One well known lawyer, who has re-
Gently established himself in town, took
$40, 900 as fee in recent celebrated
case. 1t gave him prestige. but in the
year that has succeeded that event he
has not earned as much as he got from
that single case.

The Burning Issue.

The Farmers Alliance at its Ocala
meeting knew what it was about when
it announced financial reform as the
slogan of the future.
President Lincoln, at the close of the
war, when asked what would be the
leading issue afterward, replied, ''The
financial question will be the most inn
portant one for generation to come"
1t requires neither prophet nor the
son of a prophet to see that the masses
are going to make strong and deter
mined fight to throw off the financial
shackles forced upon them by the privi-
legged classes-the Wall street money
kings and the monopolists. Now that
sectionalism is dead and the force bill a
thing Of the past, this looms up as the
supreme issue. The south and west will
make common cause in the coming strug-
gle. They will stand together for tariff
reform, free silver coinage and money
for the people-money that will not be
entirely subject to the Juggling contrac-
ton tricks Of Wall street.-Atlanta Con-

A Profound Argument.

Here is an argument that will cause a
good deal of merriment. A millionaire
says:
''The real estate within the borders OF
the commonwealth should properly bear
the burden of taxation, as heretofore.
That kind of property can always be dis
covered, and its value is readily ascer-
tainable, without encouraging perjury OF
prying into private affairs"
There, farmers, you have the gist of
the whole matter in nutshell. It is
not right or just that real estate should
be made to bear nearly all the burdens
of taxation; but, you see, real estate
owners should submit to this injustice
in order to keep the other chaps from
committing perjury. Then no man
can hide his farm from the eyes of the
assessor, but he can conceal his stock
certificates, mortgages and judgments,
and because real estate can't be con-
cealed it ought bear the burden of taxa
ton. Farmers, what do you think OF
the logic of this millionaire? Is it not
enough to stir you up and cause you tc
overwhelm the legislature with peti-
tions and letters in favor of a new and
better and more equitable tax law?-

A Long EareWell.

The Farmers Alliance has accom-
plished one good thing if it never does
anything else Of value. 1t has defeated
the Hon. John j. Ingalls, in Kansas.
This happy circumstance can scarcely
be overestimated. The benefit Of it not
only affects Kansas, but all America, be.
cause it removes one of the most power
full factors in the maintenance of Sec
tional hatred. The one thing necessary
for American greatness is American
union.
Twenty-Five or thirty years ago north
'ern patriots preached us that doctrine
with cannon and sword strokes. They
emphasized their leaning in that direc-
ton by running our homes. devastating
our fields and strewing our plains with
.corpses and ashes. Now, however, such
union is exactly what some Of them seem
to fight, by tearing open anew our old
wounds and keeping US in recollection
of old injuries. Of such men Ingalls,
was perhaps the most powerful and the
most conspicuous. To him, happily, we
say a long farewell.-Memphis Times.

Polk on StanfOrd'S Bill.

In a recent interview with a repre-.
sentative of the st. Louis Globe Demo
crat, President Polk had something inter.
esting to say about the Stanford land
bill" This measure, it seems, has not
been taken up by the Alliance. It is a
bill introduced by Senator Stanford etc
supply the national want of sound cir.
culating medium" The plan is to loan
government money on agricultural lands
at 2 per cent. interest. But it appears
that the Stanford bill is not satisfactory
to the Alliance people in it's present
form. President Polk said:
The term agricultural land" in this
bill should be specific, and should be
construed to mean such lands as shall be
cultivated or intended to be cultivated
for agricultural and horticultural prod
ucts. The great fear to be apprehended
about the provisions of the bill as it now
stands is that it may eventually lead tc
a system of oppressive landlordism. The
safety of this republic, in my judgment
rests in the preservation of a stanch and
prosperous middle class of people. If the
bill can be sufficiently guarded to pro
tect the interests of that class, and it il
practicable to make its provisions a basis
for an issue Of currency which can bt
adjusted to meet the varying condition.
Of our trade and commerce, it will Sc
cure the sanction of the great masses O.
the American people.

The Farmer in Politics.

At the annual meeting of the Wiscon-
sin State Agricultural society President
Parkinson delivered his annual address,
devoting it wholly to the subject of ''The
Farmer in Politics." and holding en-
phatically the belief that one of the
farmers first duties was to be polite
ian. He predicted that unless legisla-
tion in the interest Of the masses was
soon had, half Of the wealth of this
country would be controlled by 10000
men by the end of twenty-five years.
He urged the election of farmers to state
legislatures and to congress, and de-
plored the fact that there was scarcely
enough farmers in congress to constitute
an agricultural committee.

A favorite illustration to make
vivid the comparison between our
grandfathers' days and our own,
used to be the wOndeful development
caused by the use of steam power.
But this has been cast in the shade
by the applications of electricity dur
ing only the past ten years. The
uses to which it has been put remind
US most forcibly that truth is
stranger than fiction. Still, though
the electric spark has lem caught
and harnesses for the worlds daily
work, what it really is remains as
much a mystery as ever. Some de-
clare it to be the all-perva ling prin-

An OLD TALE ReHANpep.

A Warrington Correspondent's Alliance
Fabrications Easily Called Down.
Those OF the Alliance leaders who have
seen the remarkable letter of T. G. Craw-
ford, Washington correspondent, in .
Chicago paper Monday are highly amused
at his attempt to give the secret history
of the late campaign. The letter re-
vamps the southern management story.
calls Mrs. Diggs and Mrs. Lease Chicago
anarchists and declares that anarchy and
socialism were features of Alliance dis
cussions. He dwells on the military dis
cipline at the election shown by the ALI
ance members.
In word, as the Alliance leaders say,
the most visionary and successful Gre
ators Of Kansas Republican campaign
literature never produced anything
which was quite so startling in its char
acter as this letter.
1t is a well known fact, the Alliance
leaders say, that no Confederate ever or
ganized a single alliance in the state of
Kansas. The national Alliance lecturer,
Ben Terrell, Of Texas, visited Kansas
after the organization had assumed large
proportions, made three or four lectures
while here and in each one strongly ad-
vised against the formation of an indie
pendent political party. Because of this
position he was not received with favor
by Kansas Alliance men, and he was not
encouraged to remain. President Polk
visited Kansas for the first time early in
July, when the peoples party was al
ready decided venture. At that time
he doubted the wisdom of the move, but
did not presume to even advise Kansas
men as to their political movements.
The Farmers Alliance, out of which the
peoples party grew, was entirely in
digenous and was the legitimate out
growth Of conditions brought on, as
Senator Plumb said in the senate. by the
mischievous financial legislation which
has been going on for the past twenty
five years.
The only women who took any promi-
nent part in the campaign were Mrs. M.
E. Lease and Mrs. Anna L. Diggs. They
certainly cannot be accused of being
representatives Of the anarchist press of
Chicago, or any other place. AS one of
said this afternoon, they made 'ballots
not bullets, the foundation Of their
pleading on the platform" The very
plan upon which the Farmers Alliance
is organized precludes the possibility of
the existence of an inner circle which
can in any way govern its action.
The statement that Judge PETER was
the choice Of the Confederates and that
he was elected United States senator at
their dictation is absurd. PETER was
successful because he was shrewd and
calculating and had the foresight to see
that John j. Ingalls, was certain of de-
feat at time when the most sanguine
of the Alliance people had no idea that
such a thing was possible. Before the
election he was the only Alliance candi-
date for ingalls, place, and when the
election took place and majority of
Alliance legislators were elected a large
number of them were pledged to him.
