Spain took SAT, 2S0. 900. The United
States expended more than SO for
Cuban products for every dollar that
Spain spent.
But the Cubans' plea for trade con-
cessions is no less just and urgent for
this reason; nor are the considerations
that dictate reciprocity as the best poll

Tho high price of meat has become a

towards vegetarianism. The cause of
the high price is the Beef Trust. And

much lower than here EITHER the
Beef Trust has a surplus and is ship
ping it abroad to be sold at cost to pre-
vent loss, " concludes the Philadelphia
