Check on the Beef Trust.

There are millions of people in the
far East who are subjected to the most
laborious tasks and yet never taste
meat The bulk of peasants in Ger

tie doubt that the bulk Of the people
consume more meat, especially in Sc

right than to rely on getting them by

Hanna and his comrades in treasury
raiding, besides being patriots, are de-

they tell us, largely because they want
to maintain the standard of sailors
wages at a high figure that they desire
to enrich their ship-owning friends.
Yet when Senator Patterson offered an
amendment providing that no ships
which employ Chinese crews-as is the
custom on the Paclfie-shall receive any
bounty under the subsidy bill, Mr.
Hanna and the other Republican
friends of American labor promptly
voted to reject the amendment.
