This Is a 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
pen of a butcher shop in Barnstable,
Mass, the Cudahys from the peat bogs
at Callan, in county Kilkenny, in Ire
land, to the height of an ability to or
ganize an industrial combine with cap
italization of S200,000,000
! 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
century ago.
In 1866 the packing industry in Chica-
go, which the giant intellects of Gus
tavus +. 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-Dollar Business.
! In 1904 the product of the beef trust
amounted to over billion dollars. In
1903 the combination slaughtered 5,521,-
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
Streah 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 we'll 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-campan and that Nelson
Morris, George H. Hammond and others
of the Cudahy brothers had been able

Colossal Achievements.

Swift Bros. & Co. established it's main
slaughter house in Chicago, and estab-
lished branch houses in New York,
Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Hamp-
shire. The annual business of Swift &
Co.. when the combine is said to have

Public at Its 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
ton 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 it's
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.

Sioux City Fair.

Secretary F. L. Wirick of the In.
terstate Live Stock fair, which will
be held at Sioux City September H.
1G, announces that more money will
be spent in securing free attractions,
premiums and good races than at
either of the two preceding fairs. In
1904 the attendance was 40 per cent.
larger than in 1903, and it is expected
similar increase will be shown this
year.
All the profits of last years fair
have been used in improving the
grounds and in adding to the purses
and premiums, making the total of
purses for races $4,000 and the total
of premiums offered for displays $20,.
600. Six free attractions, of a quality
unsurpassed by any circus, will be
seen daily in front of the grandstand.
The fair has been admitted to the
grand circuit, insuring races fully the
equal Of those at any state fair in the
United States.
The railroads have recognized the
