American stock raisers have for years
been clamoring that their interests are
being injured by the greed OF the re-
tailers Of meats. They say that tho
prices az which the live animals are
purchased from them bear no relative
position 10 the prices at which meats
are retalled. They point out that there
have sometimes been advances In the
retail price at the same time that the
prices Of live stock were declining.
II Is for the interest OF all breeders OF
stock that meat be sold 10 the people az
as low a price as possible. tho middle
man and the retailer being content with
a fair profit This has a tendency TO
stimulate a greater demand for meat
with such stimulation there could be
no meat Of any kind exported. as the
homo market would take everything the
stockmen could raise.
Let CO.'S illustrate. Last year we OK
ported live stock products as follows In
value. Live cattle. S33.iGi922; 1.-Two
hogs. Sii756. live sheep. $3.50. 763: beef
products. S2s.2j9.SG3. mutton. Si7i,l0O:
pork products. 500 1895 This gives
4 grand total Of $3.50 Ia .2oG. Reckon
ing our population at 70OOOOOO. this
would represent S223 per capita per
year. a little more than ~ cents per
week. In other words. It would be nee
ossary only to Increase our consump-
ton per capita ~ cents worth per week
to consume the entire product now be-
Ing exported.
This could be done by selling meats
at fair price. The fact Is that n great
many markets all over the country
charge high prices, sell loss meat, but
make Just as much money a. they would
In selling larger quantity at a lower
price. They prefer this plan. for II
saves them the trouble OF handling the
extra amount OF meat. They are thus
the gamers. but both tho producers and
the consumers are the losers. IL Is not
what We would call an honest market.
which would operate TO the advantage
OF all concerned. We cannot, however,
expect to see any reform along this line,
as a result OF preaching. Commercial
sclnshncss Is stronger than commercial
philanthropy. The position will yield
only to commercial force The time
may come when stockmcn Of all kinds
will be compelled to take measures to
SEQ that their products are placed In
the hands Of the consumers at a rea-
sonablc price.

are very hard TO clean, and the milk
