During the campaign Senator Hanna
said there were no trusts. What does he
call the combination which has raised che
price OF all kinds of meat one cent
pound7 II there were not q meat trust
why 10 IL that the price was raised by all
the packers az the same timer
Another interesting question Is. why was
not the price raised until after the cleo
tom Was the trust afraid that II Il put
up the price before election there would
be q stampede from the Republican party?
And why would Il not be as willing for
the Democratic party to succeed as the
Republican party7 Is not the answer
plain? The Republican party Is the friend
Of trusts No doubt they contributed
much OF the money with which the cleo
ton was won by the Republicans.
II is useless for the Republicans TO say.
after this evidence that the trusts favor
ed them. that they are not friendly 10
trusts. IL IS a safe prediction that during
the nexs four years there will be nothing
done to check the trust evil. The trusts
will own the government as completely
as II they had purchased 1t aud paid their
money for "a.
The packers say chat they have been
selling meat at loss for six months.
Would they be willing to show their books
10 prove that statement II they have
been losing how Is e they have been pay
ing dividends7 why Is II that there has
been nothing heard 10 the effect that the
great packing Arms were tending towards
bankruptcy
BY raising the price OF all kinds Of meat
one cent a pound Il Is estimated that the
packers will put $4,000 a year In their
pockets And much OF this money will
come from poor peoDle--people who can.
not afford 20 pay more than they were
paying before the raise-and Il doesn't ap.
pear that a single cent OF this vast sum
Is 10 go 20 che meat produ0ers--the far.
mers and cattle raisers. The increase IN
the price OF meat Is one OF the first fruits
Of the recent Republican victory.
