EYIDENCE OF BRAID

Eaters of beef and lovers of fair
play are very much interested in the
movements of Attorney General
Knox at this time
The war is on and we trust it will
be fight to the finish for upon the
results OF this fight very much Of the
future happiness and general welfare
OF Americans will depend.
In the bill in equity which has re-
Gently been filed by the Attorney
General are the following words:
The defendants have engaged in and
intend to continue an unla wful comhina-
ton and conspiracy for bidding up
through their respective purchasing
agents the prices of live stock for a few
days at n time at the said stockvardS
and open markets, so that the market
reports will show prices much higher
than the state of the trade will warrant
and thereby induce owners of such live
stock in divers other States aud Terri.
tories TO simultaneously make large
shipments from other States and Terri
tories instead of shipping the same 70
more natural and advantageous markets
and at more natural and advantageous
times in the due and proper course OF
such trade and business. and by this
means and by reason of the resulting
large offerings there of such live stock

ding against each other for the same)

less than IL would bring in the regular

conspiracy were not so engaged in and
continued -
Such is the legal phraseology used
by the eminent attorney for the L. :.
Government but in fewer and palmer
words he means that the big six
make fictitious prices TO induce ship
ments and then, after the shipments
are made. they put down the price
in order to gouge the poor cattle
raiser.
Ii will be easily seen that the cattle
owner either has TO accept the lower
prices or ship his cattle home at a
great loss.
II Attorney General Knox can
prove this charge (and We have no
doubt that he cam this trust should
not only be broken but the members
thereof should be driven out of decent
business circles. To our mind this i
a specie of fraud and the inceptors OF
such a scheme ought to be- prosecut-
ed criminally as well rs civiliy.
