From the Chicago Journal, Nov. 6.
1901

When Commissioner Garfield went
to the Chicago packers and asked per-
mission to inspect their books, the con-
dition was made that no information
he might obtain therefrom would be
used in court proceedings against
them.
Mr. Garfield gave this pledge, it is
stated, and the packers allowed him
to study their business in all it's de-
tails from the inside.
Now, it is announced, the results Of
his study have been turned over to the
government department of justice to
be employed in legal prosecution Of
the packers.
Commissioner Garfield would not
have yentured to give the pledge that
was demanded by the packers without
instructions from Washington. He
pledged, not his own word, but the
governments. 1t is not his good faith.
but the governments, that is in cues
ton now.
The Journal has no concern for the
packers, except as they are citizens of
Chicago. If it can be proved that they
are guilty of engaging in a conspiracy
i'll restraint of trade, they ought to be
punished.
But their guilt If they are guilty,
must be fairly proved They must be
given square deal.
Since the government has elevated
it's vision to such a height as to over
look the nest of defiant criminal trusts
in New Jersey, almost within the
shadow of the capitol dome, in order
to fasten itself a thousand miles away
upon Chicago. the government and the
President cannot be too careful to
avoid suspicion that they are more
anxious to prosecute western offenders
than offenders in the east.
Some of the methods already en-
ployed in this case have not been par
ticularly distinguished for decency.
When the government breaks into a
mans house and steals his private pa
pers, when it drags the wives Of pack
ing-house employees into court and puts
them under heavy bonds it is hardly
dignified. not to say honorable, nor
even respectable.
