It is now stated that the beef
trust report has not all been
made public, and that the most
damaging features were with
held for the use of the federal
authorities in a criminal prose-
cution. In the recent discussion
rendered by Judge Grosseup,
some findings were stated which
the report does not cover.
In that case the court found
that the packers had combined
in an agreement not to bid
against each other in the pur
chase of live stock; that they had
combined to put up prices for a
few days in order to encourage
heavy shipments, and to put
prices down by the time the
stock should arrive; that they
had combined to fix prices at
which they would sell the dress
ed meats land other products,
even agreeing. to restrict ship
ments when necessary to COM
pei the payment of their price;
that they had combined to estab-
lish a uniform system of credit
to dealers who would handle
their stuff, and to keep a black
list Of dealers who dared to sell
below their prices or to handle
other meats that they had COM
bined to make uniform exclusive
charges for carriage done by the
them and which their customers
had to pay; that they had COM
bined to get less than lawful
rates from the railroads, secur-
ing to themselves an advantage
in freigth rates over competitors
in effect driving all competitors
out of business.
These are things which do not
appear in the report. Another
thing is that one of the large
packing concerns owns $4,000
refrigerator cars, and the court
found the daily income from
these cars including SUNDAY was
SIS. 90 abov expenses. This would
indicate that the report given
out does not convey the truth of
the situation.

golden opportunity to undo Sec
rotary Shaw's mischievous regu-
lation in regard to wheat, but it
did not embrace the opportunity.
The effect Of the controversy,
let us hope, will be to force an
early readjustment of the tariff
schedules. The president should

THE DEADLY DRAWBACK.

The drawback discussions in
the senate and house revealed
some truths with which the pub
lie was no familiar. In the SEN
ate it was shown that through
the drawback clause of the tariff
law a large quantity of dutiable
raw materials come into the
country free of duty. This form
of statement may appear para
xdolcal, yet the very fact is that
the drawback policy is a parody
upon the policy of protection.
The Inter Ocean would .not de-
Stroy protection to be rid of draw
backs; it would change the
drawback system to conform to
the protection plan. The draw
back is in reality free trade I'M
der g1lise of prot ction, and we
are just beginning to realize its
Ysernicious effects. The last free
trade assault upon protection was

the treasury as to free wheat for

a POPULAR" FALLACY.

The theory that the house of
Representatives is the popular"
branch of congress is Simply a
popular" fallacy, inspired by
irresponsible persons who take
delight in criticising the senate
because it refuses to yield to
popular clamor. In the SEN
ate there is freedom of debate;
there is that consideration and
dehDeration without which legis-
lative imperfections could not be
cured. In the house, debate on
the most vital measures is con-
fined to one hour, and often to
thirty minutes, on a side, and
the members are whipped into
Zine to vote yes or no in accor-
dance with the well-understood
wishes of the speaker and two or
three members of the committee
on rules. By the application of
1his autocratic power, bills are
passed or defeated, and there is
legislation or no legislation as
suits the purpose of less than
half a dozen men. This fact has
b cen established repeatedly. 1t
Was clearly shown when the SEN
ate, having voted to maintain the
tariff on imported wheat, a SEN
ator challenged the house to
bring in a joint resolution over
turning the decision If the Sec
rotary of the treasury in favor
of free wheat. Did the house,
the so-called popular" branch,
pass such a measure? 1t did not.
The autocratic committe on rules
positively refused to permit the
consideration of such a measure,
although there was not the least
doubt that a majority Of the
house membership favored it.
So much for the popular
bra nch of congress.
The sugar trust and the steel
trust long since secured what
free raw material they wanted
under the drawback law, and
now, owing to the non-action OF
the house, the mill ing trusts
gets what it wants.

want a primary school of. say two

Loveman & Co.'S Market Letter.

The closing of the week Witnessed a
much steadier market at an advance of
about 81 per bale from the lowest touched
for July during the early part of the
week. Shorts covering on an oversold
market was the principal feature, al
though not a little of the improvement
must be attributed to the missionary work
on the long side by operators hitherto
bearish on the situation.
The refusal of spot holders to make
concessions when the market was at its
lowest during the past seven days en-
couraged friends of the market very much
and they added glory to their cause by re-
framing from the Offering literally of the
medium and higher grades at the advance.
There We're many features that might be
made mention of in connection with de-
velopments looking to a reaction among
them being rather unfavorable weather In
the southwest and in the lower Mississippi
valley; rumor has it also that the boil
weevil has made its appearance in South
west Texas already. This information Is
supposed to come from an official of the
United States agricultural department.
Last year 1t was not until the second
week of May that the New York Chron-
icle announced the arrival of the boil
weevil Upwards OF $1,000 bales May no.
tices were issued at New York, but all
were cared for In New Orleans no May
notices were put out. although something
like 10000 launched during the next
month. all of which, however, longs
stand ready to receive.
