THE REAL CAUSE OF DEAR MEAT.
From "The Beef Trust" Gunton's
Magazine for July.

(From "The Beef Trust" Gunton's
Magazine for July.
During the last three years the
prices of live beeves have risen about
rs per cent, as will be seen from the
following quotations for beef steers at
Chicago:
June j, 1S9S-$4O0-s5.2O; June a,
1899, $4.50-$4.S5; June 1, 1900, $500
$3.50; June 5, 1901, $5.45-$6.10; June
81, 1902, S7.50-$S.00.
The price of beef to the butchers,
and, for that matter, to the public, has
risen less than 40 per cent. much of
it less than 80. 1t is thus clear that
the actual rise in the price of beef is
all in the live cattle. In other words,
it has taken place in the hands of cat
tie raisers and feeders and not with
the packers or so-called trust"
Among the beef raisers and feeders
there is no trust whatever. On the
contrary, there are few Industries in
this country that have so much indie
pendent individual enterprise as cat
tie raising. Montana, Wyoming, Ida
no, California, Nevada, Nebraska.
Kansas, Colorado, and Missouri are
dotted with individual ranchers. own
ing from 100 to 5000 head of cattle:
yet these are the people who have re-
ceived the advance in the price of
beef, and they have received it from
the packers or trust.

democratic party as enunciated in the
national platform of 1900 in Kansas
city"
This surely is definite. AS far as
it can it commits the democratic par
ty in Missouri to a policy which has
defeated it in two presidential cam
paigns. 1t means that Bryan is still
a force to be reckoned with. Northern
democrats who are watching the trend
of events hoped that Missouri would
not start blaze in the dead emDers
of free silver. They hardly hoped for
an expression of reorganization but
they, did expect decent silence on
the frailities of the party. This has
been the tacit policy of the party gen
orally speaking, SO far this year. But
Missouri Oh dear!

IOWA AT ST. LOUIS.

Iowa commissioners for the Worlds
FAIR at ST. Louis are now in that city
and doubtless are looking after the
interests of the state in an Intelligent
manner. The nature of Iowa's exhi.
bit has not yet been determined.
There seems to be some OPPOSITION to
the idea of making our agricultural
advantages of the center attraction.
While it is true that Iowa has
many other advantages, yet, be that as
1t may, it is the Iowa farms and Iowa
farmers that have made the state
what it is today. Our mines, while
very important, are not sufficient to
give the state any great standing
along that line. Our manufacturers
are many and prosperous, but Iowa
cannot as yet be called a distinctively
manufacturing state.
That other states are going to dis
play their farm products is certain, as
applications for space in the palace OF
agriculture have been received in
great numbers by the chief of this de-
partment and although the agricultur.
al building will be the largest exhibit
building at the fair, it is now certain
that there will have to be a great
economy in the awards of space to sat.
isfy the prospective exhibitors. 1t is
to be hoped that our commissioners
will reserve sufficient space in this
building so that Iowa may show the
strangers at st. Louis that she is all
that has been claimed for her.

CROPS ALL RIGHT.

The statisticians have been com
PEELED to revise their crop estimates
for Iowa. The last estimate gives
this state credit for more than an av.
erage yield. Doubtless some of the
farmers whose land borders on the
Des Moines river think such report
d long ways from the truth, but such
is undoubtedly the present condition.
1t is true that there are quite num-
Der of farms in the vicinity of Ottum-
wa, as well as in other parts of the
state, that are now under water with
the crops total loss, but these bear
only a small relation to the whole
state. Few of our people realize the
vast area of Iowa. 1t has been said
that if a million acres were under
water, the damaged crops would only
represent three per cent of the entire
acreage, hence would reduce the crop
average for the state only to that ex-
tent. Considering the good condition
of crops throughout the state in gen.
eral there is no cause for alarm as yet
concerning the conditions in Iowa.
Each additional census shows that
this state is making greater progress
and is more prosperous than any 9th
err state in the Union. Iowa has been
doing her duty in the past and there
is nothing to show that she will not
continue to do so in the future.

by demo-populism, which still prevails
IN this region, where Bryan's views
through his paper have a thousand
readers and admirers where the views
OF cleveland and Hill have one. This
may seem dispiriting news to the KID
glove democracy of the North Allan
tic states, but it is the truth.
Mr.. Bryan does not intend to be
snu1fed out, he proposes to be consult
ed and respected in the deliberations
concerning the future of the demo
cratic party. and if he is not he will
be sure to make the party caldron
bubble with plenty of toll and trouble
Tor While 1T is possible for the organ
lzing and reforming statesmen of the
North Atlantic states to refuse him a
chance to make a spoon, they are not
strong enough to prevent him from
spelling the horn. Mr.. Bryan is the
only man in the democratic ranks to,
day who has an appreciable following
the middle west, southwest or
south. He is an attractive orator; his
newspaper has a large circulation; he
is man of energy, shrewdness and
vindictiveness. He has not forgotten
that Cleveland, Hill and German have
never lost chance to defeat him, and
he Will not suffer any man of their
cult to be nominated in 1904, or. fail,
ing in this, he will secure their candi.
dates defeat. Bryan is determined
to be distinctly recognized and man
with at least million of voters at his
back is pretty sure of recognition. Ma.
poleon told Talleyrand when he said
Europe would not permit him TIC
march against Moscow: Bah. Europe
is the mistress of any man who has
100000 men at his back
Cleveland's vague, ore rotundo ven.
tuosities count for nothing against
the plain, direct, purposeful speech of
Bryan. Cleveland is as venerable and
yacuous an orator as Tom Hoods

through the streets of STEAMBOAT cry.

IOWA LEADS THE COLUMN.

According to Census Bulletin No.
200, just published by the government,
pertaining to the twelfth census OF the
limited States, Iowa leads all other
states in the value Of farm
implements on farms in the year 1900.
The value of such implements in that
year was s57,960,660. The state of
New York comes next with a valua-
ton of $56,6OO,OOO Pennsylvania is
third in rank with valuation of $780,
917,240, Illinois is fourth, with valua-
ton of $44,977 $40. Ohio is next with a
valuation of $36,354,15O. These fig
ures and facts are interesting as well
as surprising. 1t would not be I'M
reasonable to suppose that older states
such as Ohio, Pennsylvania and New
York and such great agricultural
state as Illinois would lead Iowa in
such a comparison of the
value of farm implements on the farm.
The figures teach that Iowa is one Of
the leading agricultural states of the
union, also that its farmers are of the
progressive kind who avail themselves
. OF the best machinery and implements
Of the highest order. The total value
Of implements on the farms of the
United States in 1900, was $749,776,-
$50 In the distribution of these to the
States, let it again be noted that Iowa
leads the column.

SHALL WE AGAIN BE MIsLED BY
A PHRASE.

The Burlington Hawk-Eye warns
the people that they are again in dan
ger of being misled by phrase, to-
wit the expression "a tariff that
shelters monopoly" And the warning
is timely.
The people of America We're mislead
in 1890 and agani in 1892 by phrase
Then it was, "The tariff is tax which
lis added to the cost, which the con-
sumner pays People went around re-
peating this jargon as though possess.
ed like the fellow of whom Mark
Twain tells, who fell victim to the
jingle:
Punch brothers, punch with care
Punch in the presence of the passen-
ger"
So much so that, being preacher,
and having funeral discourse on
hand, he quoted the dirty in the midst
of sermon. "That tariff is tax" be-
gIiIed us into voting for free trade
congress and free trade president
We wanted things cheap. We got
our cheapness, but in the end it was
the direst period this generation ever
experienced. With the word cheap
confronting us on every side, goods
laid upon the shelves and rotted in the
warehouses. Charity fed large por.
ton of the people, and the armies of
the unemployed tramped across the
country We thought we were strik.
ing at our enemies, "the robber tariff
borons," as they were called, but we
did but pull down our houses over
our heads. We upset a pail filled
with very rich milk, and so thorough
|ly were we convinced of our folly
that we went back to the protective
principle as fast as our constitutional
Limitations would permit us to do SO.
Now this phrase "The tariff which
shelters monopoly" belongs to the
same genius as the other We have
monopolies. The greatest of them are
not sheltered by any tariff. What tar
lift shelters the Standard Oil trust?
Not any. What tariff shelters the coal
trust? Coal is on the free list. What
tariff shelters the railway combines?
We have no tariff protecting railways.
Besides there are trusts in free trade
England, as many or more than we
have in the United States. Should we
be misled by the new phrase to again
give license to the tariff smashers?
We might break up some combines by
putting them into the hands of receiv-
ers and throwing them into bankrupt
cy, thus bringing about idleness and
poverty. such as We had in 1913 to '97.

BEYOND TRUMP OF REsURREc
TON.

The language of Bryan concerning
the recent speeches of ex-President
Cleveland and David B. Hill is entire
ly free from ambiguity. Mr.. Bryan
may not be democratic statesman
of historic worth, but he is at present
a very vigorous, alert and pugnacious
political figure, and he has a very
large following among the demo-pobu
lists of the south and southwest. He
does not propose to be turned down
without his consent, and he makes it
very clear that he will never consent
to be turned down to please Grover
Cleveland or David B. Hill. Any plan
for the restoration Of the democracy
to the harmony and health prefigured
by Cleveland and Hill will die in it's
birth If Mr.. Bryan is not consulted
and deferred to. Cleveland's talk
about the democracy Of Tilden" is
absurd. The democracy Of T9lden
has been obsolete for ten years in the
south and west; 1t has been replaced

strike one year ago? Moreover, has
this great Citizens alliance attempted
to prevent the illegal efforts that the
coal corporations are making to
cause the defeat of every candidate
for membership in the legislature of
pennsylvania who advocated or favor
ed labor measures in the last session.
In all my experience in the labor move
ment | have never participated in a
strike in which I felt so confident of
success. IL our membership will
stand, as know they will, in the not
very distant future they will achieve
a victory and settle for all time the
right of coal miners to receive for
honest labor and unremitting toll at
least sufficient wage to enable them
to live, maintain and educate their
families, and enjoy few of the pleas
ures of our civilization.

AT LONG RANGE.

Charles 7. Hancock, former chair
man of the republican state central
committe, has returned to Davenport
from Washington, in speaking of the
prospects for speaker of the house
says there is no doubt whatever of the
reelection of Colonel d. b. Henderson
as speaker of the house for the next
term. Mr.. Hancock says:
During the several days of my So
journ in the capital, called on many
of the leading men of the nation, and
it was the universal opinion that
Colonel Henderson would be the next
speaker of the house. Representative
Cushman of Tacoma, Wash, who has
been quoted as being strongly opposed
to the speaker, says himself that there
is no doubt but what the colonel will
be reelected again unanimously. I
haven't any doubt of that at ALL
Congressman Tawney of Winona,
Mimi, as well as Blackburn and others
whose names have gone out through
the press as being against Colonel Hen
derson, are unanimous in their state
ments that he will be reelected by ac-
clamation.
"Mr Babcock, one of the leading
members of the Wisconsin delegation,
says there is not the least doubt that
Colonel Henderson will be reelected"

THE LESSON OF THE STRIKE.

The. leader of the late freight hand.
lers' strike remarks: There is one
lesson to be learned from this strike
that is. no representative labor body
should agree not to engage in sympa-
thetic strike where the principles of
unionism are directly attacked"
This means that no labor organiza-
ton should make any sort of contract
obliging its members to continue their
work for definite period provided
their employers stand to their agree
ments. 1t means that every such or
ganization should reserve the right to
strike out of sympathy for other strik-
ers whenever it may appear to them
that the principles of unionism are at
tackled.
This is as good as saying that no
labor organization should make any
sort of agreement or contract giving
assurance that business can go on for
so much a week without interruption.
1t is as good as saying that an organ
ization should reserve the right to in
terrupt business at any time, not be-
cause its members have any griev.
ance of their own, but merely because
they sympathize with other strikers.
The late strike teaches no such i'm.
moral lesson. II teaches that the
agreements entered into by labor or
CARNATIONS are Of some value. They
serve in some measure to insure in
dustrial stability and to prevent reck.
less, hot-headed. and half-anarchistic
men from keeping the industrial com
munity in condition of turmoil and
choas great share of the time.
Those who are friendly to laudable
labor organizations would have them
cultivate a sense of responsibility and
honor; would have them enter into
agreements and abide by them from a
sense of right and duty.
In business dealings men are held
to their contracts by law. Employers
are held to the performance of their
contracts with their employees by law
IF labor organizations are not in like
manner held amenable to law there is
the greater need that they should be
governed by high sense of honor
in adhering faithfully to their agree
ments.
The lesson taught by the late strike
is that there is much of this sense OF
honor among both labor leaders and
the membership of organizations-th
sense of honor which is absolutely es.
sential to the existence and usefulness
of labor Observation-Disclosures
