trade, although there ere as many cattle for
the market as ever.
"There is no real shortage in marketable
cattle, all reports to the contrary notwthstand-
ing. The receipts at the yards in Kansas City,
Omaha, and Chicago, yesterday, were large
"The foreign demand being extra heavy, as
| haye explained, the prices to cattle dealers,
as we'll as to butchers, are high. The packers
are not reaping any great rewards. The recent
heavy shipments to the cattle yards may ease
the strain little, but do not look for lower
prices
"The remedy for complaining butchers is
simple. They must raise prices. have not
heard any complaints from consumers. The
butchers are complaining and they must work
out their salvation by getting more money for
their beef. They must get together and keep
up their prices with the general advance, If they
really want to protect themselves"
There you have it cold and flat. Cattle are
abundant, bur the beef trust is trying to get
possession OF the European market and destroy
the competition of Australian beef. TO do so
it selling beef i'll Europe at a loss; and It
puts up the price to American consumers
enough to keep up its own profits. For brutal,
regard of every sentiment of humanity, must
commend this millionaire packer who sits back
i'll his easy chair and tells the retail butcher
that he has heard no complaints from the con-
slimer and that it is the only way out for them
to put up the price. The American working
man has been faring too WE'LL He can stand
little more squeezing. If he wants beef TO
keep up his strength, let him pay more, and
let him and his family wear cheaper clothing,
spend less for furnishing their homes and put
their children to work at a more tender age.
No matter what becomes of the consumer
whose complaints have never reached the ears
of this stufed-purse monomolist, competition
must be destroyed and the men with the pick
and the plane must help foot the bill. And
yet there are people who object to socialism be-
cause it would edo away with competition!"
Be assured that if socialism doesn't put an end
to competition, the trusts will, in decade or
two at the longest.-Kansas Populist.

READY-MADE EDITORIALS.

The "great" Republican daies of th" cor
try seem to be of one mnt.-as well as all
little echoes and jumpe-s-up-behind; and 'l'
cause of all this unanimity and editorial h,i
mony is the question of strikes, which IS g,
tating the whole nation. We quote porti .
of an editorial from the Columbus (Ohio) De-
patch, which editorial we have seen i'll T. t
Kansas City Journal and other leading Repnl'
lcan papers. TO us, it appears like ready
made syndicate editorial. such as are sent Cu'
out from Republican headquarters every CAM
paign. Here's the editorial referred to:
"The seeming anomaly is presented in the
prevalence of strikes and the increasing de-
inand for laborers But is the situation strange?
OF course there are those who will answer I'M
mediately that the demand for laborers is due
to the strikes, but to a small extent only is that
true.
"The true explanation of the co-exisence OF
strikes and the demand for laborers is the re-
mewed prosperity of the country. The renewal
of the volume of work offers something I"
quarrel about, and the struggle tor what
each think, is his right is on between many
employers and employees.
'Hence most of the strikes with which the
newspapers are filled There news yester-
day of nearly dozen strikes, most of which
may be accounted for by this theory. Among
them were the strikes of the taors OF New
York, the dockmen of Ashtabula, the Pennsyl-
vania freight handlers of New York, the pud-
dlers of Pittsburg, the coal-miners of Indiana,
the mllmen of Youngstown, the messenger
bows of Cincinnati and New York and the
srec-car men of Cleveland
This is the first intimation we ever had that
prosperity and plenty of labor causes strikes
Evidently, somebody's been a-foolin' the Re
publican editors It's too bad that they should
be imposed OH in this way. Sensible people
won, believe such tuf, and the ignorant,
credulous Republican editors should be pro-
teced.

the gold standard brought the producers OF

Our Army.

The administration sends out the gratifying
intelligence that our standing army amounts
now to 95,5oo men (the 500 are thrown in for
good measure), and that $4,000 well-armed
fighting men will be in the Philippines by No
vember These new men will not be armed
with Springfield rifles, as were the Nebraska
volunteers. The war is to be red-hot for sixty
days, and then it is to be over "The nice-laid
schemes OF mice and men gang aft agee."
Suppose the natives won't fght-what then?
Suppose Aguinaldo and his forces take shelter
in the inaccessible recesses of the mountains.
How is our army going to reach them? Can
they not carry on, for years to come, a preda
tory warfare, such as Francis Marion carried on
in the swamps of South Carolina? Is it not
possible that we may have to witness once more
a repetition of the heroic achievements of Wal
lace and Bruce III the mountains of Scotland?
1t is possible that the war may last more than
two montbs.-Nonconform

Why Beef Is High.

Beef has got SO high in the big cities now
that it is practically out of tie laboring mans
reach. The retail butchers in Chicago have to
pay nine cents pound now for whole carcasses
and fourteen cents for loins and ribs i'll even
sets. The price they are compelled to charge
their consumers is therefore prohibtive to poor
men. Why beef should be SO high i'll the face
of argely-increased stock of cattle, | will
leave it for one of the big packing houses of
that city to answer. A representative of the
firm of Nelson Morris & Co. is reported by the

HYMN BY RUDYARD KIPI.ING.

God of our fathers, known OF old
Lord of our far-hung battle line,
Beneath whose awful Hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
The tumult and the shouting dies
The captains and tine kings depart.
Slll stands Thine ancient Sacrifice,
An humble and 4 contrte heart.
Lord COD of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we foreet--lest we forget
Far-called oul navies melt away
On dune and headland sinks the fire;
Lo! all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Ninevah and Tyre!
Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
If, drunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee i'll awe
Such boasting as the Gentiles use
Or lesser breeds without the Law

Lest we forget-lest we forget
For heather heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard-
All valiant dust that builds on dust
And guarding calls not Thee to guard
For frantic boast and foolish word
Thy mercy on Thy people, Lord!
