Great Britain and France. Just forty
years ago. the United States. with 800

done over so trivial matter, saying
that the company for the first time was

Congressman Martin has intro
luced a resolution asking the sec
retary of commerce to investigate
and ascertain the cauee for the
present low price of beef cattle as
compared with the price of dress
ed beef. A year ago. when the
price of beef was raised, it was
claimed that it was done on ac-
count of scarcity of fat cattle. At
the present time there is no short
age of cattle and prices are low,
yet the price of dressed beef re
mains the same. The purpose Of
Mr. Martin is to ascertain wheth-
er there is any good reason for the
disparity in prices, or whether the
prices Of both cattle and dressed
heef are fixed by a trust. A little
effort along the line proposed BY
Mr.. Martin is worth more than all
the anti trust resolutions that can
be incorporated in a party plat.
form to inspire public confidence.
