probably has no rival outside Of the
Standard Oil Trust. And it rules with
a rod of iron. Dealers in meats all
over the United States, from the At
lantic to the Pacific, obey orders sent
out from Chicago. If they do not buy
from the packers there they find an
opposition shop set up, and they are
undersold. Many q dealer has been
forced out of business because he chose
to assume an attitude OF independence.
Butchers in the East have found to
their COST although they are one
thousand miles from Chicago, that
they are not allowed to trade in local
cattle. If they try to do so they find
competition springing up beside them.
They must buy their beef of the Chi
cago magnates.
They dominate the trade in cattle and
hogs. They do all the canned beef
and dressed beef business there is done.
They control all the refrigerator cars
that run ON the railroads, and force
the latter to pay them a certain sum
per mile for the privilege of hauling
their cars. The cattle raiser is not a
king when it comes to selling his stock,
for the rulers of the Chicago stock
yards make the prices when the stock
is put on the market, mo matter if the
herd contains one thousand or one
hundred thousand head. They know
how many cattle are on the ranches,
On the cars en- route, and in The yards
and pens.
They can make money where small
packers, even if they dared to enter
into competition, would lose it. Not
a single portion of an animal that en-
tiers the packing houses is allowed TO
go to waste. Every bit must and does
show a profit. What is not fit for food
must go to the rendering establish
ment, and comes out in the shape of
felt, glue, fertilizers and almost in
Vulnerable other things. They are
mighty factors in the hide and tallow
trade and half a dozen other markets.
AS these mighty meat kings sit in
their Chicago Offices they are in direct
touch with the situation throughout
the entire world. Where there is war
there they supply the troops with food,
for their ships are on every sea in
every cline.
1t has been said that the "emba M ed
trade of this mighty concern. But it
is difficult to see how anything can
hurt it when it is without rival in
the world.

EAGAN GUILTY.

The court martial of Gen. Eagan
reached the only verdict possible in his
case, adjudging him guilty with sent
ence of dismissal from the army.
Gen. Eagan's plea was insanity. If
this plea is valid it furnishes another
reason why Eagan should be dismissed
from the service There should be no
lunatics in command in the American
army; especially there should be no
non compos mentis person at the head
of the commissary department, upon
the intelligent and faithful manage
ment of which depend the comfort.

The substance and solution of this
beef scandal is summed up succinctly
by ex-Secretary John Sherman, who

1t is charged at Albany, N. Y, where
a struggle is going on to prevent legis-

rates, that the Bell monopoly spends
a million dollars a year to defeat ad-

case of this monopoly is unquestion-
ably true in the cases of scores of
others. Which would go to show that
after all our government is not so far

Ing Chicago label.
AS Wor the meat industry in the
United States, the Chicago packers are
supreme from ocean to ocean. They
control the prices of cattle from Maine
to Texas, on the hills and plains as
we'll as in the stock yards, and they con-
troll the price of meat in every market
in the land.
Technically, there is no such thing
as meat trust. There is no such
combination that the law can reach.
But the Chicago packers do not work
at odds with one another There is
no competition among them. While
apparently separate concerns, each of
the four great houses that are the
headquarters of this mighty combina-
ton work in entire harmony. Terri
tory controlled by one firm is not dis
turbed by another. Prices fixed by one
firm are not cut under by another
There is business for all.

bine is known as the big Four and

mond Company. 1t is the solidest COM
bine IN the world, if not the richest. 1t

well established plea that he stole the
money not for himself but to send his

With Aguinaldo backed solidly by
the Filipino Congress and authorized
to declare war against the United
States whenever he deems it advisable,
we are likely to receive lively news
from that quarter ere long. Mean
while the censored cable reports that
all is going smoothly with the Ameri-
cans are not credited. Aguinaldo's
agent, Agoncillo, in Washington, is
suspected of intriguing with the Gu
bans and is under surveillance. Our
government is rapidly learning that
these Asiatic statesmen are past mas

A RUPTURE EXPECTED

Between Mine Workers and Operators In
Their Convention Next Week.
Pit,sburg, Pa. Jan. l2.-The rupture
at next weeks convention OF mine work
ers and operators over the adoption Of an
interstate agreement Is regarded a.
probable. II developed to-day that many
OF the operators, opposed to the present
agreement, intend to oppose the mime"
clause, and will insist upon ten-hour
day instead Of eight hours, as at present,
and will demand reduction of wages.
II is the general sentiment among the
miners that any attempt to increase the
hours OF labor, cut wages or strike ont
important clauses. will be vigorously
fought In the convention.
