American Humanity.

From the lew York Evening Post
The swift and generous response which
the American government and people are
making to the appeal of mortal misery and
need which comes to us from the stricken
West Indies IS. we are glad to think emf
nentiy characteristic. A more humane and
charitable nation does not exist. We firmly
believe. 1t is partly that we have abun-
dant means to succOr distress and that we
recognize the obligation which goes with
ability. Richesse oblige. But there is more
In it than the mere possession Of wealth.
BY instinct and training and long ha bit
Americans have developed a peculiar readi-
ness In coming spontaneously to the relief
Of suffering. Our own inheritance and his
tory, the growth of voluntary charities, the
private endowment of education on a scale
elsewhere unknown. the various colossal
catamlties of our own race which have
opened hearts and purses to the victims-a
somehow conspired to make US open as day
to melting charity.

The Packers Plea.

Mr.. Armour. head of the interests of that
family in Kansas City, denies that there is
beef trust. and points to the rise in prices
all along the line as proof that there is no
artificial cause for the late imitation of the
beef rates He says:
Coal during the last few wears has adj
vanced from p to 30 per cent in price Pig
Tin, which few years ago cost us III,
cents pound, now costs 2S cents takirp.
Saturdays closing market for It, Salt has
doubled in value. The lumber which we
use TO make our boxes has advanced on an
average of 81 a thousand feet. Everything
else has advanced more or less while tho
price of labor is either about the same or n
little higher. We are paying from 1 cent to
liz cents q pound more for cattle on the
hoof than We were year ago. How AIRY
reasonable man could expect pa cking house 4
To procure and sell beef as low after the

down the market receipts materially is
a thing that l cannot understand"
These figures may all be accurate. But
the public would like to know a little more
about that sentence Everything has ad-
vanced more or less. while the price of
labor Is either about the same or a little
higher" There's the whole issue in few
words. The remuneration of the working
man has remained practically at a stand
STILL while the cost of his living has in

rate for materials than these people de-
mand. He pays the market price and
chalks up the difference against the con-
sumner. Probably II the laborer were TO get
a larger wage the difference would SIM
