Tt should be no difficult task to ascer-
tain If the charges that the big four
meaning the packers, are responsible for
the high price of beef. The prices paid
for cattle at Chicago are published every
day. All that is necessary to make the
comparison to prove OIL disprove the
charges is to get the prices which the
Chicago and other packers charge the
Eastern jobbers for dressed beef. If the
difference between the price of cattle and
of dressed beef is very marked the pack
ers are responsible. For years that
difference has existed, consequently If it
is not materially greater now than here
tofore the packers are not responsible
for the higher price. If the New York
World and the locuacious Secretary of
Agriculture would investigate the matter
referred to they could tell who is the Gull

The President and Hi. Party.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The deplorable situation into which our
weighty President has led the Democratic
party by making the currency question, in
stead of the tariff question, the paramount
issue in national politics. is truly pathetic.
He is in much the same situation as the
school boy who had the fight The boy,
like Mr.. Cleveland. was an autocratic boss,
and ruled among his mates with an iron
hand. much as Mr.. Cleveland bosses his
party. But finally his day came. One of
his schoolmates had the audacity to stand
out and Oppose him in something, just as
the Democrats who do not believe in gold
monometallism oppose MrNCleveland, and
the young autocrat started In to give the
recalcitrant a sound thrashing. But he
found 1t no easy thing to do. and when he
had fought until his breath was almost
gone and his strength was failing he
sought to save the day by calling to the
b~ystanders. Part us, boys; part us!'
Doubtless Mr.. Cleveland, finding himself in
the same pr~edieament, comparatively. will
yet call to the Republicans who are
watching the fun, much as he had to do
