A WELL known dealer in cattle
called at this office OH Wednesday
and said he begged to differ with
the editor OF the paper. He then
said that the Beef Trust is only
making a reasonable profit. That
the farmer who raises cattle, and
others who feed them for the butch
.er, receive 6 cents a pound on the
hoot for his cattle. The railroa DIS
charge about 50 head for trans.
portation. The best cattle, he con-
tended. could be bought out OF the
boxes OF the meat firms tor - cents
a pound and tie consumer pays
all the way from s TO IS cents a
pound. Thisgentlemau was raised
on a farm and his father was one
of those successful farmers who al
ways raised good paying crops and
conducted a well titled farm. The
son to a certain extent has followed
in his fathers footsteps and has
handled as manv head of cattle as
any other man in Delaware. lie
should know whereof he spe axis as
he contends that as the price OF
grain Is high, there is not much
money in feeding cattle and the
farmer makes no more than lie de-
serves.
That much we vii readily
grant. His contenlion was that
what made the retail price oi meat
90 high was that too many men
wanted to make a living oil OF
cutting it up for the public who in
the end are the ones who loot
the bills. The butchers on the
other hand contend that they are
practically making nothing owing
TO the high price asked by the
Trust and necessarily are COM
peilcd TO charge more Tor their
meat The people have gotten the
impression that the tmcat Trust -
responsible and they are SO mad
that it is going 10 take whole 10,
OF explaining TO them to convince
them otherwise. When men :
wages do not 80 up aud their lv.
ing expenses increase month after
month they generally begin TO look
around tor the cause. They have
been told that the cause lor the ill.,
crease in the price Of meat ia owing
TO the squeeze by the Trust. The
remedy is what they are beg inning
10 look for, They naturally blame
tie Trust. Our former friend says
the Trust is a good thing. We give
it up and let our readers Judge
who is right The wage Garner or
the farmer or both.
