rs per cent Yet the retail price of
beef was increased 40 per cent
There is one singular thing about
the prices quoted in the Bulletin arti-
Gle for dressed beef. On June 1. 1893,
and on the same date in 1895. the
price was $500 per 100 pounds, with
In one cent pound Of the highest
price reached in 1902 and yet the re-
tail price of benz in 1893 and 1895 did
not increase, CT at least not PERCENT
bly, so, while in the present year the
extraordinary increase of 40 per cent
is added
This Increase in the retail price of
40 per cent is the average Increase
for the whole country, in some Of the
large cities the price has been raised
far more. Anyone can settle the per
cent Of increase in his own locality
by looking over his butcher bills or
inquiring of the butcher from whom
he buys.
The retail butchers claim they are
making but little if any profit on the
beef they are now selling at the 40
per cent advance That question must
be settled between the butchers and
the beef combine The public is GER
tainly paying over 40 per cent more
than they were a year ago, and the
general complaint is that the quality
is much inferior.
The census shows that the beef
trust has crushed competition and
raised the prices. Bulletin No. 217
entitled Strengthening and Meat
Packing" tells the story. In the ten
years from 1890 to 1900, 1877 whole
sale slaughtering and meat packing
establishments were wiped out by the
method of the trusts Not satisfied
with their grip on the meat business
the trust now in a great measure con-
trolls the poultry supply and it is
safe prediction that the Thanksgiv-
ing and Christmas turkey will cost
the American people fully as great
an Increased price as their beef, pork
and mutton.
The beef combine is not yet a cor
porate trust, but in a few days it Will
actually become so, and all the great
packing houses will be merged into
an actual trust
This step shows the futile efforts of
President Roosevelt and his attorney
general to stop the rapacity of these
beef barons, through the equity suit
in the civil courts, as the injunction
obtained has not deferred them from
forming more compact combination.
Either the combine laughs at the
puny efforts of the administration or
knows that it is but stage play to
stifie the indignation of the people
until after the elections are held.
The real remedy Is only to be found
in the criminal courts, and by taking
off the tariff protection that the com
bine now enjoys.
The Dingley duty on beef cattle is
271z per cent; the duty on sheep is
s1.5O head; on fresh beef, veal, NUT
ton and pork 2 cents a pound.
To repeal this tax would allow the
supply to be increased by importa-
tons and would cut the price of meat
to the American consumer by the

sacred in the eyes of the Republican
politicians and their friends, the
trusts and combines, but the demand
for the repeal of the schedules that
cover trust productions will force ac-
ton, and the election OF a Democratic
Congress will bring it about, for the
Republican Senate will be compelled
by public opinion to act.
The meat taxes must go.

Our boys got bumped good last Saturday
over at Oakland. They went over there to
play ball. twenty miles in the rain and mud,
showing that they had their nerve with them
all right but some way they lost il entirely
when the game commenced. They found
Oakland loaded for them with professional
players from different sections aud but two
Oakland men in the game. They had
Patterson, the Homecoming pitcher, and
Bankard, the Pennsylvania catcher, and so
on all through except two 6elders.
Our pitcher Jake Jackson "went up in
the air" and never got in the game and the
catcher was but little better. Major Fields
had good chance TO score once but Lost
his hat between third aud home aud went
back after il and was put out and should
have been out of the game. II was a
''merry-go around" for the professional
pick-ups and they goose-egged our boys In
great shape and then robbed them of their
share Of the gate receipts besides, in order
to pay for the imported players. Even
charged our boys for playing on their
grounds, when the home team always fur
nishes the place to play on.
The boys got home all righ, that nigh,
