President to remove the duty on hides.
so that they will be cheaper. This
country produces more hides than It
needs to shoe its people; but the Beef
Trust controls these hides.
The Beef Trust raises the price Of
hides.
This raises the price Of leather, and
this In turn
Raises the the price Of shoes.
SO the Beef Trust Is becoming the
oppressor Of the poor in the matter Of
food and raiment.
The Legislature to be elected next
fall must take steps to drive out
The Beef Trust,
The Patent Medicine Trust,
The Life Insurance frauds, and
The manufacturers who oppose the
pure food laws,
If Illinois is to take her proper place
In the sisterhood of States.
New York Is showing an example
to the whole country In the vim and
vigor with which she Is going after
the life insurance frauds.
The developments In this investiga.
ton show the methods that these com.
panles have used in the New York
State Legislature, and which they
have, presumably, used In the Illinois
State Legislature.
But where the Insurance crooks
harmed one man, the Beef Trust
harms a million men.
The Beef Trust goes into every
mans home and taxes every mouthful
Of meat that he eats.
1t starves his family and puts the
necessaries Of life beyond the reach Of
the common people.
1t Is enabled to do this through the
crooketlness Of our Legislators, who are
controlled by Beef Trust agents.
The Beef Trust maintains strong
lobby at Springfield and kills all leg
islatiOn which Il does not like and
looks out for legislation strictly to III
interest.
The people are forgotten.
But II the people IRE forgotten, they
do not forget.
They remember the steady influence
Of the Beef Trust at Springfield and
they also remember that while Mis-
souri, and other neighboring States ar,
moving against the gigantic and rob
bling combines that Illinois IL supine.
Cheaper meat ana better meat Il
sold to the people Of the Eastern
States than to the people Of Illinois
because the people OF the Easter
States will not stand for so much cor
ruption In their State Legislature o.
Illinois does.
The Beef Trust Is doing more Ia
wards bringing on a great and blood!
revolution In the United States thai
all other agencies combined.
The Beef Trust regulates the prlc
Of food and laughs ut the law.
The Beef Trust must 50.
The Beef Trust must 80.
