it may be said that the olamor which led
to Mr. GARFIELps investigation fairly
illustrates an unfortunate tendency in
our national character Usually pa
tient, tolerant and long enduring, AZ
times we break away in a half-mad rush
and clamor on the trail Of an economic
or financial will-o- the-wisp To-day
II is Standard Oil and the Beef Trust,
yesterday it was railway rates, few
years ago it was free silver, groenbacks,
war with Spain, free trade, or some other
of the many epidemics with which we
have been afflicted. Doubtless there
will be another one tomorrow, and an
other the day after
The price of beef advances, oil goes
up few cents gallon, and railways
begin to pay dividends on watered
stocks. Some one starts a hue and cry,
and the public is of on a hot scent TO
trail gang of extortioners to its lair.
In the case of the Beef Trust the trail
appears to have led 10 a group of men
whose establishments supply less than
one-half Of the beef consumed in the
country, and whose profits are by no
means inordinate. So we return, prum-
bling because we found no wickeder
quarry, and pay the old prices for our
roasts and Steaks.
So will it be with oil and with rail-
way rates. The exercise is probably
good for us, but the results are incon-
siderable.
