w. L. MOORE,
{ hief Of Weather Bureau
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1905-04-01

born, June "a, 1889, there seemed no
prospect for the child but to live the pro-
sale life of a farmer, such as his father
and his fathers father had been. He
grubbed amongs the stumps and the
stones and fought with nature for
meager crop until he was % years old.
Then he moved to Barnstable, full of
confidence that the ability he had shown
in buying and selling cattle, and swap
ping horses would yield him a better
living than he could expect from farm
ing in New England. He bought cattle
at Barnstable, gradually branching out
to Brighton and Watertown, and later to
Albany. In 1869 he discovered there was
more money in western cattle; then he
moved to Brighton, thence to Clinton,
in Massachusetts. His dealings had
been small, and his field had been limit
ed, when he moved to Chicago in 1875.
Neither he nor anyone else guessed his
latent genius for large affairs, for or
ganizing and constructing, which in
very few years in Chicago had become
conspicuous by growth of business until
his reputation was national.
Philip d. Armour. who started life as
4 blithe and barefOoted country boy in
New York state, went to Milwaukee when
he took Horace Greeley's advice to

assistants. The great advantage of the
combine over the independent packers
was, like that of the Standard Oil COM
pany, rebates from railroads which gave
them immense profits when others were
doing business at a loss. The grip of
the beef trust is upon SO many more peo-
pie and affects the three meals per day
of all of them so vitality that Standard
Oil empire is likely to be outdone unless
the present federal inquiry and the re-
cent decision of the United States SUI
preme court sustaining Judge Gross
cups injunction against trust methods
results in the enforcement of the laws
of the land.
The Standard Oil company deals in
oil and its products, and its profits are
menace to the independence of the
American people. The beef trust goes
into far more homes and names the
price, not only for the fresh meat, the
salt meat and the smoked meat, for the
lard, the glue, the hides the fertilizers,
all the products of the beef and hog but

and other cities The death of Gustavus
Swift and Philip d. Armour did not take
place until both men had seen the re-
suits of their achievements in mammoth
packing plants, and ledger figures of
millions. The control of the business is
virtually now in the hands of j. Ogden
Armour, who began work for his father
at $40 week as clerk, and who now is
the dominant factor in meats, grains,
fruits and dairy products in the United
States.
A Chapter of Beginnings.
Only America can furnish examples of
such personal achievements as the life
stories of Swift, Armour and the Cuda-
by brothers disclosed. Sandwich, Mass,
is small town, and Gustavus Swift's
parental home near there was a stony
and Improbable farm. When he was

much they were, and his statement is
not questioned.
present Leaders of the Beef Trust.
whatever may be said in denunciation
OF the system of the beef trust, no
charges are made of lack of integrity, or
truthfulness, or of immortality against
}. ogden Armour. The operations of the
trusts have impoverished farmers and
stockmen, have broken banks, have pre-
clpltated strikes, and have caused sui
cldes, have ruined towns and cities, but
the personality of J. Ogden Armour is
tnat OF an interesting, manly and fine
type OF American manhood. At his sug-
gestlon railroads may dismiss the gen.
eral manager, and commission mer-
chants may be blacklisted and ruined,
Tor the beef trust is Unsuitable and re-
morseless, but ]. Ogden Armour is re-
spected and cordially liked by the en-
ployes who know him, and although he
is hated in Wall street, among his
friends and business associations, and
fellow members of his clubs, he is popu-
lar and companion eagerly sought for.
Less is known of the head of the Swift
e Co. corporation than of the Armours,
because Louis F. Swifts home has al

or the fruits of California, because the
beef trust owns the refrigerator cars
necessary to move that fruit. 1t names
the price for the cotton grower of the
south at which he may sell his product
because the cotton grower Is dependent
On the beef trust for fertilizer for his
plantation or his ten acre field. The
fruit growers of New York state and of
Texas, of Colorado and of Cuba look to
Chicago for the figures by which to de-
termine their prices, and by the refriger-
ator car rates hundreds of producers
have been made and hundreds have been
ruined.
Public at It's Mercy.
The most serious blow to the indus
tries of the American people lies in the
ability Of the beef trust to fix the prices
of the products of the ranchman and the
farmer, throughout every state and ter
ritory Of the United States, the price of
hogs, cattle and sheep, and consequent
ly the price of wheat, corn and oats.
This blow is aimed at every home and
every merchant Of the hamlets, towns
and cities, for the old days of competi-
Ion have been relegated to the past by
the big packing interests. The en-
pire of the great Chicago combine de-
fies the law and has the public at its
mercy. At every turn of the wheel it
grows stronger and greater more insid-
ious and more far-reaching. The beef
trust owns steam and electric railroads,
it owns factories, stockyards, mills,
warehouses, elevators, and the state
ment was recently made that it also
owned politicians, legislators and con-
gressmen.
Colossal Achievements.
Swift Bros. & Co. established It's main
slaughter house in Chicago, and estab-
lished branch houses in New York,

shire. The annual business of Swift &

young men to go west. A brother, Her
man o. Armour, had a grain commission
business there, and to this in 1868 the in
dustry of hog packing was added. JOS
eph +. Armour, the younger brother of
Philip, was in charge, and it was owing
to his failing health that Philip d.
moved to Chicago in 1875 He had be-
come familiar with every detail of pork
packing, and had himself done all phases
of it.
Back in the fifties there was potter at
Callan, Ireland, by name Patrick Cuda-
by, whose four boys ran barefoot most
the time, and who begged for fresh
meat as a luxury. This family of Pat
rick Cudahy came to America in the
Storage, with their carpet bags and
slender purses, in 1S49, and settled at
Milwaukee. Michael Cudahy was old
enough to do chores around the slaugh-
ter houses where his father found en-
ployment, and by attending school in
spare hours he acquired simple educa-
ton, which he always improved upon
later. when he had opportunity. When
ne was 10 he went to work in a packing
house, and at rs he went into business
for himself as retail butcher But
PlankingtOn & Armour offered him
charge of their packing plant, which
was worth perhaps $35 ,OO0-considera-
BILE in those days a mere bagatelle in
these days of big trusts. His sue
cess as manager brought out an offer
from P. D. Armour in 1873 for Cudahy to
become a partner in Armour & Co. He
did so, and for 20 years had the practical
management of the stockyards end of
the business. He was rich. both in mon
ey and in good will of Mr. Armour, and
in reputation, when he established the
Cudahy Packing company, which was
taken into the merger at valuation of
$15,O0O,OO
Trust Magnates Live Simple Life.
All through their lives both Gusatav-
us Swift and P. D. Armour retained the
simple habits of their youth, of early
rising, and of going to bed early. With
all their wealth they cared little for So
ciety and were rarely seen. Both men,
but particularly Armour, were very ap-
proachable by any of their men. ready in
sympathy and prompt to assist in times
of trouble.
The business of the Swifts descend
ed to Edward G. Swift and L. F. Swift,
but J. Ogden Armour, the only surviving
son of P. D. Armour, is the nominal and
practical head of the packing interests.
Like his father, he is simple in his taste
and without aristocracy or snobbisn-
ness, as genial and unaffected with an
underling as with head of a depart
ment.
What the profits of the beef trust are
cannot be estimated although Commits
sioner of Commerce Garfield. in his re-
port to congress, after investigation of
the beef trust, gave them at 80 cents a
head for every creature killed. This did
not take into consideration the rebates
paid to the railroad, which rebates are

BY CAMERON LANDON.

This is page from the Arabian
Nights tales, with Aladdin outdone; the
story Of the rise of the Armours, the
Swifts, and the Cudahys--the Armours
from the farm barn yard near Stock
bridge, N. Y, the Swifts from the killing
oen of butcher shop in Barnstable,
Mass, the Cudahys from the peat Dogs
at Callan, in county Kilkenny, in Ire
land, to the height Of an ability to or
ganize an Industrial combine with cap
italization Of $200,0OO,000.
Less than half century has seen the
comparative poverty of the beef trust
magnates transformed to an opulence
beyond the dream of king or courtier of
q century ago.
In 1866 the packing industry in Chica-
go, which the giant intellects of Gus
tavus F. Swift, now dead, of Philip D.
Armour, now dead, and of Michael Cud-
ahy have developed to the industrial
mammoth of the present, had its small
beginning in the slaughter of 613 head
of cattle.
A Billion-D Dollar Business.
In 1904 the product of the beef trust
amounted to over a billion dollars. In
1903 the combination slaughtered $751;
697 head OF cattle.
So well laid were the plans of the
founders Of this monopoly that it has
gained momentum beyond the power
Of its heads to control; the ever growing
stream of its immense profits pours in
upon the beef trust from sources which
are so resistless that the downfall Of
Standard Oil supremacy among trusts
seems certain.
Founders of the Trust.
1t is tribute well earned by Gustavus
F. Swift and Philip D. Armour to say
they were the founders of the present
beef combine; that Michael Cudahy was
a powerful aide-de-campa and that Nelson
Morris, George H. Hammond and others
OF the Cudahy brothers had been able

cent and exclusive than J. Ogden Ar
mour Living within few miles of tbs
birthplace of Gustavus F. Swift, he lives
in mansion which costs a fortune,
while the farmhouse in which his father
was born, which still stands is small
and devoid of all modern comforts. He
rides in automobiles; his father, as
boy, drove butcher wagon His income
and resources are like those of an en-
peror of the east; his father grubbed
meager living from his farm.
]. Ogden Armour has a home on
Michigan avenue which cost $125,OOO
His wife is a beautiful woman, and So
ciety leader, who takes much interest in
outdoor sports and driving, who in an
unassuming and modest way is liberal
in her charities. At Oconomowoc, Wis,
they have summer home which is said
to be one Of the most complete in the
country in equippage and comfort.

Remarkable Display of Genius
The story of how the present gigantic
power of the beef trust was born and
nurtured has its beginning in the char
acter and personal achievements of Gus
tavus Swift. However much P. D. Ar
mour contributed of sagacity and ener-
getic constructiveness, the present con-
dition of supremacy of the beef trust
and of subservience of the railroads, the
fruit growers, the farmers and the stock
raisers of the United States would never
have come about but for the rawboned,
money-loving Yankee, Swift the elder.
