"the most yillainous captain

mightiest Samson that eyer

what's to Re Done.

Z What IS to he done about
the increased cost of living?
No man can say where the
price Of meat will stop. 1t
has bten climbing steadily
upward for weeks: the end is
not yet. What is the cause
OF this unprecedented ri, 9?
The big packers, who practi
cally control the mark. t, tell
us that n scarcity of cattle is
responsible Tor the increase;
that liz a falsehood-a busi-
mesa lie.
The truth ia the schedule o'
prices is being manipulated
regulated illegally and trade
restricted in defiance OF ma
tional law by the Beef Trust,
ds the combination of big
packers is known.
Decisive action is necessa-
ry. The poor have no ero-
nomical food to which they
can turn. They might live
without eating meat for a
while, but unfortunately the
greed of the Beef Trust has
forced upward the price on
all food stuff; the increased
demand makes food dearer.
Irish potatoes, once said TO
be the barometer OF famine,
are now selling for 40 cents
a peck in Charlotte; a short
while back they were selling
at 20 cents the peck, What's
10 be done about it?
The gentlemen interested
in the meat monopoly are
rich influential citizens, mem
bers of the church, regular IN
attendance, piousand active.
perhaps in charitable work.
They do not hesitate to rob
the poor nor violate the law
vi the land, because it brings
more gold into their already
overfowing Golfers. Il hey
would not heed an appeal
from the poor nor the hun
CRY because they do not car
ry their consciences into their
busiRess--eOnsciences W [ h
men OF that stamp is orna-
mental and for Sunday use
only. What's to be done a
bout it?
Congress will not take any
action against the Beef trust
or any other trust 80. long as
it is dominated by the Repub
Iican machine. The most in
fuential republicans IN the
country are the founders, in
stlgatOrs and abettors Of
trusts. The Attorney General
of the United Stat tes was nur
tured on a trust bottle, and
spent his time and talent a
mid that environment and
stepped from it into the Of
flee he now holds. Wien hp
accepted that high Office he
took an oalh,to protect and
care for the interests OF the
people and he draws every
month $666.67 of the peo
ple's money. 1t is your mon
py he receives, the common
peoples money, earned by
the sweat Of your brow. and
it is your interest heis swoI n
to protect. What are you go

next and especially Of tn e

said Senator Money oi Missis
Islppi, yesterday, when ! ask
ed him oi the prospects of Cu
ban reciprocity inthe Senate.
The republican party con
tinued the Senator, dare
mot reduce the tariff which it
has built up. Great moneyed
interests protest at any re-
lduc.ion because. any reduc-
tion curtails their profits and
these interests are stronger
than the party. The removal
OF the differential on refined
sugar was a step IN the right
direction. The profits Of the
sugar trust would have been
reduced to the material bene-
fit of.the people but the bill
was not amended in the
House with the expectation
that it would pass, but rath.
pr with the belief that the a
amendment would kill it and
there is no chance for the
bill, as amended, in the Sen.
ate. Notwithstanding t b e
fact that many Of the Ding
ley rates were made purpose
~ high with a view to provi
ding "a margin fer the negoti
alton OF reciprocity treaties,
no treaties are confined Dy
the dominant party, no re
ductlon OF ariffrates is made
and the people naturally
turn to the democratic par
ty for relief and they will get
it,"
Opinion in the s. nate is
still greatly divided as to the
outcome of the Cuban recip
rocity bill. 1t is now certain
that, a straight reciprocity
bill will be reported, and. so
far as | can learn. the demo
crats will try to amend it as
was done in the House. That
they will be successful is pos
sible as they are likely to
have the support OF the beet
sugar Senators and if they
10 80 it will probably kill
the bill on it's final passage.
The present indications are
that the republican senator's
will be satisfied If they can
secure the passage Of fstraight
bill in the Senate and will per
init it to die in conference
with little regret. ''The re
publfcans will shed few tears
oyer the death Of the bill in
conference" was the reply Of
Il democratic Senator who is
in II position to know, when
| questioned him on the sub
ject Saturday.
The House OF Representa-
tives during the past week
has passed the Military Acad
