A cATnEMENs PACKING PLANT.

Prices firmly maintained for dressed
beef and pork but nearly cents pound
off for cattle on the foot show how we'll
in hand the beef trust has the market
and incidentally how remorseless this
trust IS in squeezing both consumer and
producer. The consumer suffers from
extortionate cost Of food, and the pro-
Queer suffers from an Improbable cattle
market. The stockyards and packing
house combine gets its ake.off at both
ends and has pretty nearly MIXED the
cattle industry dry. Everywhere cattle
men complain of heavy losses and this
great Western interest, so prosperous
few years ago, is we'll nigh ION its up
pers."
1t has always been argued that the
beef combine could not control prices
when the demand was at all equal to the
supply. Only in the eyent,of an overpro.
ductlon of cattle could it be possible for
the trust to fix the price. That it fixes
the price now and holds the market in
the hollow of It's hand nobody will dis
pute. The ridiculous disparity between
the price of cattle and dressed beef
settles that question. Either, therefore;
the cattle industry faces the serious
situation of OverprOductiOn, or else the
old time argument falls to the ground.
Serious AS the condition is tn the cat
tie men. they will live to look back to it
as blessing If it arOuses them to ac
ton along lines that are be- ng discussed
by some of the leading cattle raisers
and feeders in the southwest. It IS a
time for the cattle inter ests to get to-
gether for self preservation. It will be
strange if the prosperity Of the last
seven years has not made this section
strong enough financially and given the
cattle men enough self confidence to
justify Branching ont with an independ-
ent packing plant TO oppose the trust
monopoly. There are thousands Of men
in the Southwest who can be brought
together by the proper leadership and
organization for this all-important
purpose and the 4 or million dollars
necessary for one plant as starter
should be 10 great sum for an industry
to raise whose annual product is from
ten to twenty times as much.
Tho cattlemen are not likely to get
relief from legislation; they certainly
will get none from idle complaint and
denunciation of the merciless Kansas
City combine. The only thing that
will protect the industry is to take
matters into their own hands and fight
the trust with its own weapons.-To-
peka Capital.
The suggestions made are sensible
and to the point. Under existing con-
ditions there can be no relief through

McCABE'S WARMING.
Says Laborers Must Cease Striking or
Suffer.

Chicago, Oct. eff the laboring
man does not stop continually striking
while he is receiving high wages, capital
Will grow weary of his lncessant strife
aud he will find himself walking the
streets, eager to secure any kind OF work
at 81 day. Capital is the best friend
the workingman has, aud the sooner he
realizes this fact the better it will be for
him. When the laborer fights wealth
he opposes his own interest"
Bishop Charles McCabe Of the M. E.
church made these statements in an ad-
dress delivered to the Methodist Social
union at the Sherman house, and his re.
marks were received with applause
Topeka Daily Herald.
The above is going the rounds of the
republican papers as though they en-
dorse the sentiments expressed. And
why not? Are they not with capitalism
and against labor in the irrepressible
conflict?
The bishop seems to think that labor
is dependent upon capital; that 30 long
as labor walks the chalkline to please
capital, the latter will let the former
stay on the earth; but If labor continues
to get gay capital may withdraw it's
support and let labor drop out of
existence. VIII the bishop stop todyin
after capitalists long enough to let the
question percolate through his cranium:
What would capital do without labor?
Abraham Lincoln taught that labor
creates capital and therefore should
have consideration. But republican
| leaders in church and state have long
since gone clear out of sight Of the
original and greatest republican in thei1
eager efforts to serve capitalism.

bishop at the Sherman house, pre-
sumably at banquet. How many la

John Neill, a colored boy fourteen
years old, who was sent from this conn
ty to the changing for six months for
a misdemeanor, was killed in erusher
at the convict works at Sugar Hill,
Barlow county, where he was at work
we learn, for the Georgia Iron and Coal
Company. The parents of TIE boy who
| live in Marietta, have employed Col
H. B Moss and Hon. John E. Motley
to bring suit for damages in Atlanta
against said corporation. Recently the
supreme court decided that no corpor-
tion could hire convicts-only munich
pal, county or state governments could
hire, and it will be contended that the
illegal hire of these convicts by the
corporation will make them liable for
damages to the parents for the death
of the boy, they being entitled to the
earnings OF his labor until he reached
| his majority.
