A FIRE AT SWIFT'S.
The Main Building of the Packing PLAN
at Chicago Destroyed-Loss Esti-
mated at 100000.

Chicago, July Fire at the stock
yards Saturday night destroyed the
main building of Swift & Co.'s meat
packing house. The estimated loss
is $1,000,000. The general office and
the wholesale, export and loading
markets, as well as the bank and res
taurant conducted by the company,
were in the building. The fire was
confined to the one building stand
ing at the intersection of Packers
avenue and Broadway. The cause of
the fire is not known, but it was dis
covered near the engine room. 1t
spread so rapidly through the build
ing that it was found impossible to
save anything in the structure.

ROOTS SUGAR TRUST WORK.
What Appears to BE scheme to
Fitch Funds from the Cuban
Treasury.

Secretary Root appears. to have all

He knows how to get funds to carry
On any campaign he is interested in.
Secretary Root appears to have the
Cuba reciprocity cause very much at
heart for at his instance the Cuban
military government, which we have
just withdrawn from the island, en-
gagged the services of that sugar pa
triot, who is always for the "Old Flag
and an Appropriation" F. B. Thurber
to enlighten the American people on
the needs of Cuba and the poverty of
the sugar trust.
This kind interest of Secretary
Root in the cause of the sugar trust
appears to have appealed to the gen.
erosity of Gen. Wood to donate and
caused him to make a donation to the
sugar trust campaign fund for reci-
procity. The generals salary was
handsome one, some 5000 a year,
but the Root training, or perhaps his
orders, persuaded Wood that the
Cuban government funds would be
the proper source for the sugar trust
campaign fund to come from. The
Thurber mode of campaigning is by
circular letter, and is expensive, as
will be seen from the following bill
which Gen. Wood ordered paid. Not
only that one, but three more of sim
liar amount, of which the following
is true copy:

PROFITS OF THE STEEL TRUST
Foreigners Get the Goods Cheap
While American Consumers
Pay Trust Prices.

Men on the inside say that the
United States steel trust will, for the
first quarter of its second year, which
ends June 80, make profits at the rate
of 50,000, 600 year. No other in
dustry on earth can show half as great
profits.
This worlds greatest industrial
giant ships its products to every coun-
try of the globe. Of course it cannot
dictate prices in other countries, like
it can in this tariff-protected' home
of trusts, but it can well afford, as it's
profits show, to meet the prices of
its unprotected competitors in foreign
countries.
Mr.. John W. Gates testified that his
trust supplies two-thirds of all nails
consumed in England. He could have
added at from one-half to two-thirds
of the price charged for the same
nails in this country. The steel trust
supplies the world with barbed wire.
1t also sells other wire, steel rails,
structural steel and many other kinds
of goods, all of which are sold to for
eigners at greatly reduced prices.
Even tin plate is being sold at one
dollar per box below the regular Amer
lean price, when it is to be used for
packages to be exported.
Based partly upon the difference
prices of the steel TRUSTS products,
and partly upon the fact that prices
here are so high that many kinds of

1t may be that the farmers and la
borers of this country are proud of
this trust, and contribute willingly to
swell its profits to unheard of figures.
1t may be that they envy the foreign
ers who get our trust goods cheap
and have no home trust to match
ours. 1t may be that they still think
of our steel trust as an infant that
could not get along without it's tariff
pap. It may be that they will vote to
increase tariff duties and to add more
millions to the steel trusts profits.
There's no telling what will please the
people. Fortunately this is<.a matter
in which the wishes of the people, ex-
pressed at the polls, will be made law.

DRIFT OF OPINION.

Senator Elkins is somewhat
right when he says President Roose-
velt's message to congress on Cuban
reciprocity is applying the water
cure to congress"
The friction between the civil
and military governments in the Phil
ippines is still smouldering, though
the home administration has ordered
them to get together.
"A billion-dollar congress start
led the country few years ago;
two billion congress now seems prob
able. In the former case democratic
victory was the result. What will the
harvest be this year?
These breakfasts at Hanna's
house, attended by the president and
his hackers, look very much like an
attempt upon the part of Hanna to
tie up Mr.. Roosevelt as he attempted
to lasso the labor leaders.
President Roosevelt has given
congress another sand-bagging on
Cuban reciprocity, but the last week
does not offer any new inducement
over what he said in his former mes
sage. Republican congressman are
not generally mulish, and hate to get
out of touch with the pie-counter
This congress is nearing adj
journme INT land, like the Fifty-sixth con-
gress, has done nothing to lower the
tariff on trust productions, which Mr..
Hanna says keep on letting well
enough alone" This. may bel well
enough for the foreigners who can
buy the trust articles cheaper than
we can, but, then, republican rule
comes high, if we must have it.

How They Bleed the Counties.

1t has been reported to the attor-
ney general that a bridge trust is
operating in Kansas. 1t is alleged
that this trust is composed of a num-
Der of companies which have been
erecting bridges on the country roads
in the state. There are five or six
of these companies and they have APP
portioned the bridge building terri
tory among them. When county
calls for bids for bridges the COM
panies permit the company to which
the bridge building right in that
county belongs to submit the lowest
bid. If the county calls for bids by
representatives of the companies in
person the amount of the low bid is
increased sufficiently to pay the ex-
penses of all agents.

We would probably never have
known where the funds came from to
carry on this sugar trust compaign,
if Senator Teller had not drawn it
but of Thurber when under oath before
the senate committee on Cuban rela-
tons, which is Investigate ting the sugar
trust campaign. Thurber was rather
coy at appearing before the commit
tee, and it took some persuading to
get him on the stand. Evidently he
was suspicious of Senator Teller's in
tentions, and we'll he might be, for the
senator also drew from him that that
generous old soul, Havemeyer, had
also contributed a four-fgure check
for the same cause.
1t would thus seem that the admin
istration, through Secretary Root and
Gen Wood, are hand and glove with
Havermeyer and the sugar trust, and
furnishing money to carry on the
sugar trust campaign, not out of their
own pockets, but, Rathbone-like, out
of the Cuban treasury.
How these patriots do love the
Cubans! One can hardly believe such
things would happen. The next thing
that may be expected after such an
exposure of cooperation of the ad-
ministration with the trusts is that
some way will be found to make a
draft on the United States treasury
to help the poor beef trust defend
itself against that other member of
the administration, the attorney gen.
eral.
After this exposure of the filching
of campaign funds for the sugar trust
from the cuban treasury, while con-
trolled by the administration, con-
gress would seem to be duty bound to
make an appropriation for the amount
that the sugar trust campaign fund
has receivd from the Cuban treasury.
Having shown the Cubans the way to
influence legislation, we may in the
future expect continuance of these
campaign methods by the new Cuban
government, in cooperation with Eave-
meyer and the sugar trust, until they
get free Cuban sugar.
