GERMAN MEAT is TOO HIGH

BERLIN, Oct. Embarrassing pressure Is

The best beef retails at "A cents pound
and other meats are proportlonately high.
Wholesale prices in German markets are
from IS to 25 per cent higher than in neigh
boring countries.
II is asserted that the scarcity of animals
is due to the closed frontiers and the ex-
clusion OF many kinds of foreign dressed
meats, the German farmers being seemingly
unable to raise enough animals
Carl Marx of Frankfort 1.-THE Main,
chairman Of the National Butchers associa-
tion and ]. H. schuchmaker. head master
of the Hamburg Butchers guild, have had
a conference with the minister OF agricul-
ture on the situation.
They pointed out that the butchers,
though selling at high prices, are unable
to make as much profit as by larger sales
and lower prices. The trade, therefore,
asked for an alleviation Of the conditions
that limit the consumption Of meat. Herr
Won Podbielski, the minister. recognized
that the present situation was intolerable
and expressed the hope that German farm
ers would soon be able to decrease prices
through an increased supply. Should this
not take place, the government would con-
slider remedies.

RAILWAYS BECOME ALARMED
Rate Fight Thrust Upon
Them.

CHICAGO, Oct. S1.-oficials of western
railroads today held two sessions to deter
mine a defense against the charge OF dis
eliminating in cattle rates. 1t was de-
.cided to take the stand that reduced rates
on packing house products were forced by
the Great Western, which placed them in
a position where competitive traffic must
be taken at a certain figure or let alone.
1t will also be contended that a rate OF
2S1E cents for haul of over 500 miles is
low enough.
II the commission does not see the matter
in this light an appeal will be taken.
Notice has been given that the case
against the Santa Fe will be dismissed.

cola, then a great cotton mart.
The disastrous ending of the South
ern War of Independence not only
freed the negro, but it elevated white
labor. The large plantations gave place
to farms, and upon the farmers who
did their own blowing devolved the
work of building up the South There
was a brief period of hesitation, but
the negro settled the question by
abandoning "massa and the old plan
taton." He was free, and his idea
of freedom was to do nothing. A
change came over the freedman. how
ever, when he found that idleness meant
starvation, and 1T was among the
small farmers he found market for
his labor. He was a cheaper laborer
as freedman than he was as a
bondman. He represented no invest
ment of the capital and was no ex-
pense to the man he worked for other
than his wages.
1t was during a period of this tran
sition that the long expected railroad
reached cambridge, and gave an i'm
petus to its development and in the
decade ending 1900 the increase in the
population of the county was 47.6 per
cent.

The soil in the eastern section is red

crops do well. The eastern part Is
that where there has been such great

terrible the nearer he approached

could not be forced nearer. The great
dogs rushed on. And Frank sat in his

founded upon experience.
