To Form a Colossal Food Trust

Chicago. April 19.-Because OF the
high price OF meat, for which the beef
trust is blamed, the American citizen
will have to pay more for his shoes and
leather goods. The advance which is
imminent in the price of footwear is
due to the higher cost of cattle, which
makes the hide az well as other portions
more valuable. 1t is said the packers
have under way the formation OF a
colossal food trust to cortrol the
markets in poultry, fsb, eggs and
breadstuff as we'll ss those of beef and
pork. Public relief 10 the fruit and
vegetable market also threatens to avail
nothing. for the trust magnates. it is
said, are beginning to tura their stlen-
ton to control 10 that direction.

WHILE SECTIONAL jealousies and
animosities have but little to feed
upon nov, there are problems in
which the people OF the entire country
are vitality interested and which all
should unite in solving at the ballot
box. 1t Is needless to say we refer to
the food question, which is the most
alarming condition the country has
had to face almost in its history. The
trusts which now dominate this nation,
and which are under tho tutelage OF
the party in power, are as merciess as
the tyrannical hands which arbitrarily
welded power when the two sections
OF the country were in battle array.

Although the beet sugar republicans
and the democrats are iubilant today
over yesterdays victory, the ways and
means leaders have not yet played
their last card. A discovery has been
made by Chairman Payne OF the ways
and means committee. 1.-THE bet
sugar men rather overshot the mark
yesterday" be remarked, "snd per-
haps they will feel rather sheepish
when they learn that by their Morris
amendment they not only reduced the
difiereniial on refined sugar II I
cents q hundred, but that they also
wiped out the countervailing duty Of
26 to q cents hundred. The Morris
amendment provided a new duty in
lieu OF the duties now provided by law
on sugar above number 16 Dutch
standard. They intended by this
amendment to strike down only the
dffferentisl; but IN the Diugley law an.
other section is devoted to the i'm
position of the countervailing duty.
By the Morris amendment. of course,
this duty also Is superseded by the new
one imposed, so that, as 1t now stands,
reduction OF about forty cents a
hundred is provided-a reduction
absolutely fatal to the sugar interests
OF this country" 1t is the present
design to have the Senate restore the
bill practically 10 It's or ginal shape,
providing perhaps for S3t instead of 20
per cent. This bill would, If passed
by the Senate, 60 back to the House
and be referred to committee on con-
ference. II the Speaker, following
such Drecedents as usually obtain,
should appoint Messrs. Tawney and
Richardson on this committee they
would insist on the diflerebtal and no
agreement could be reached. But
the Speaker might place others
on the committee, who would
consent to recediDg from the
House amendments. Then the
question in the House would be on
agreeing to the conference report and
ell would depend on the attitude of the
House democrats. 1t is we'll known
that a majority Of them favor Cuban
reciprocity and unless checked by q
caucus decree, the bill may yet become
q law with the aid OF the democrats. in
the face Of the strenuous opposition of
the republican insurgents. Represen.
tstive Underwood, OF Alabama. who
had much to do WITH bringing the
the democrats to unanimous caucus
action, said today: "When the con.
ference report comes 10 the House, IL it
ever should come, TIE question would
be on receding from the amendment
reducing the differeutial. On that
question We are bound by caucus de-
oree-iron-c clad. We can not vote for
the bill without the differential amend
ment. Not without another caucus,
anyhow"
10 the Senate today Mr.. Teller intro.
dnced a resolution of inquiry into the
reports that nearly the entire crops OF
Cuban sugar had been purchased, and
that any reduction in tariff rates would
not benefit the Cubsns, but the sugar

OF the BsltImoreans whose sympathy

ADVICEs from st. Petersburg are to the
effect that soldiers refused to fire upon
disorderly crowds in that city recently,
although they were ordered three times
by their officers to do SO. That such
an act uf insubordinstion should have
occurred within the realms Of az abso-
lutte monarchy is one OF the serious
signs OF the times, and shows that the
influence OF the Belgian rioters has
extended beyond the boundaries OF
their small country. Iocidents similar
to that 10 st. Petersburg are said to have
also occurred at Moscow and Tula.
The Russian authorities are suffering
no little anxiety by reason OF these &C.
curences, and so far as is known they
have not attempted to visit punishment
upon those who refused to obey orders.
The anarchist fever is thought 10 some
quart era to be about to become cpl
demic, and when a country like Russia
finds it has soldiers who are not in
sympathy with law and order but
whose feelings 90 out to those who are
arrayed against the throne, serious
condition OF affairs must be apparent.
II soldiers refuse to obey Russian Off
GERS and the latter are powerless to en-
force discipline. who knows how soon
those forming the armies OF all other
European nations may take 1t into their
heads to follow their example, as those
in Belgium have doneP

Tyv DEMOCRATS of the House by

THE DEMOCRATS of the House Dy
standinq together and upholding the
action of their caucus and by following
their accepted leaders, who for once, al
least, showed good generalsbip. won
decided victory yesterday and split the
republcaDs 10 twain. Twice before,
siuce the Cuban sugar matter had been
ND 10 the House. they had the same
opportunity as they had yesterday oil
dividing the republican vote and win
ming out, but they failed to take ad'
vantage of their opportunities. Holding
the balance OF power on the question
OF tariff concessions to Cubs, measure
which The minority favored on the
ground that IL was o tariff reduction,
the democrats succeeded in controlling
the situstion. Beet sugar insurgents,
in order to show resentment against
the decision OF the republican House
whips to force the Cuban tariff measure
allied themselves with the democrats
to effect an amendment TO the bill re-
moving the differential on refined su-
gar. The detection OF the insurgents
rendered minority aid necessary to pass
the bill, and it was by such aid that
the measure was passed. The
victory was to the democrats.
When the test came on overruling
the decision OF the chair, that the
amendment which Mr.. Morris had
offered was not germane, minority
members acted as one man. 1t was as
foe an exhibition Of good discipline as
the republicans ever demonstrated In
the palmiest days Of their supremacy
and they were not prepared for 1t, be
lieving, as they had right to believe,
that the democrats would not
stand together, hut they did, and won,
the vote being III to $50. BY a vote Of
247 TO 81, and after what was undoubt-
eddy the most exciting struggle that has
taken place on the floor this session,
the House later passed the bill provid-
ing for reciprocity with Cuba upon a
basis Of 20 per cent tariff reduction.
Forty-one republicans voted against
the measure on it's fiaal passage. The
republican leaders came out OF this
contest with dimished prestige. They
were forced to accept the assistance OF
the democrats to carry through the
main proposition OF reciprocity, and
they failed to prevent the democrats
from scoring a distinct victory by the
amendment of the bill so as to include
the repeal OF the trusts diffsrential. The
democrats having now gotten together
and having shown themselves what
they can do by united action, should
continue to act in unison, and II they
cannot pass their own measures can at
least prevent the passage of objection
able bills by their opponents.
