There Are No Trusts.

Two years ago, during the ma
ional campaign, we heard man,
lenials of the existence of trusts
Mark Hanna stood most prOminen
n this connection, and the cry wa
aiken up by his party cohorts il
very section of the country. Me
tinley was elected and time pass
ID on. Now, of recent months, tn
Republican party seems to be III
against Hanna and is really get
ng uneasy about the trusts. Hea
his, "A few days ago, from tina
'ank Republican paper, the Kan
'as City journal, relative to tn
,ecf trust;
"A year ago export steers sold
in the Kansas City market for
1913 to So. 40 per 100 pounds;
yesterday they sold from Sc. -
to 81. a year ago cows sold
for 81. 30 to $4.G5; yesterday
they brought from 81 - to
to So. %. Hogs were selling
year ago for from Sc to
Sc. 12%; yesterday they sold
for from SOL to $7.15. Dur
ing the same time the beef
trust has raised the wholesale
price of beef from about So 80
per 100 pounds, to 5000 per
100 pounds, and has increased
the prices of all its other pro-
ducts-provisions of all kinds
included-proportionately,
While the amount it has had
to pay for beef steers has in
creased from $l.40 to SLIGO
per 100 pounds, it has raised
the price OF beer 81 per 100
pounds. 1t has increased the
price of beef from 81 % per
100 pounds to 5000 per 100
pounds since the latter part Of
February. During the same
time the price of beef steers III
the Kansas City market has
increased from So. 60 to 81,
the latter of which figures was
the top price yesterday. While
the price of beef steers has
been increased only 81 10 per
100 pounds, the beef trust in
stead of bearing its fair share
of the burden imposed upon
the whole people, has increas-
ed the whole price of beef to
the butchers of Kansas City
1925 per 100 pounds. 1t APP
pears, therefore that the pack
ers have increased prices II
great deal more rapidly than
the condition of the market
has justified.
There is still II further cir
cumstance to be taken into
consideration in drawing IN
indictment against the beef
trust. 1t is II fact that last
summer and fall, when thouS-
andS upon thousands of head
of all kind of live stock were
being rushed into the Kansas
City market, they We're buying
it at very low prices, and stor-
ing it away in their refrigera-
tors. They have since been
able to take out this refrigcr-
ator meat and place it on
the market at the same price
that meat more recently kill
ed brings, and have thus
made immense profits upon
the transaction. These large
quantities in their refrigators
would have held down prices
to a certain extent if the trust
had not been bent upon max
ing more than II fair profit.
There is another item tn,

not counted in the above-th

he opened it and unrolled the cotton bat

A look of disgust crept over Mr..
Browns face, and he started to send the
