and each and every one of them is
anxious that the meat inspection law
shall be put into prompt operation
everywhere, because they realize that
under federal guarantee only can they
expect restoration of their trade
Millions of cans of meat and meat
food products are now on the shelves
of the jobbers, the wholesalers and
the retailers throughout the world
which are unstable. But Just so
soon after the first of October, as the
new law is put into complete opera
ton Secretary Wilson will, through
the state department, invite foreign
governments to send experts to ex-
anime the packing plants working
under government inspection and the
secretary expects that the result will
be reports which will restore con-
fidence in American meat food pro-
ducts.
Nothing was ever written in the
form Of novel or newspaper article,
which ever did tenth of the damage
to a great industry which the SEN
sational stories regarding the condi-
tons alleged to have existed in
"Packingtown" has done. One extract
from letter received from London
recently shows this. The writer is a
gentleman in close touch with the
commercial affairs of the British
metropolis. Commenting upon the eff
feet of the meat scare in his country,
he says: cat the present moment, it
is good deal like when the funny
man at the boarding house table tells
the story of the dog and the sausage.
The story has been told so we'll that
everybody over here is in nauseated
condition, and they are fighting shy
of all forms of preserved foods, es-
pecially in tins, and this applies to
practically everything, whether it is
flesh. fish, fowl, fruit or vegetables,
and practically without discrimination
as to whether the contents of the tin
are American. English. Canadian
Australian or Argentine"
Secretary Wilson is Just as deeply
interested in the restoration OF Ameri-
can meat supremacy in Europe as is the
packer. and he is determined to force
the European governments to recog-

satisfied himself as to existing condi-
lions. He knows just what improve
ments have been made and he is pre-
pared to respond Immediately to any
request which comes for the installa-
ton of the government inspection
service In each and every plant. Up
to date, somewhere between a hun
dred and hundred and fifty packing
houses have applied for government
inspection. The secretary is some
what surprised that the number is not
greater and he does not hesitate to
express himself as believing that many
establishments will regret their tardi-
ness when it is too late. In the
meantime he proposes to continue his
personal investigation. He may drop
into the slaughter houses of Buffalo
next Tuesday and to look into the
canneries of New York on the follow
ing day and then run up to Boston and
from there to Omaha, Kansas City and
Forth Worth. No one will be advised
as to his itinerary for the reason that
he wants to see just how things are
conducted under normal conditions.
Thus far he has found an exceedingly
satisfactory state of affairs wherever
he has gone. He was in Chicago two
or three weeks ago and, while there,
he held consultations with the federal
inspectors in charge of practically all
the big packing centers of the country
and the general conditions reported
by these men was eminently satisfac-
tory, the two exceptions being. Kansas
City and Buffalo.
During the discussion of the meat
inspection law by the house committee
on agriculture, eight of the largest
slaughtering and packing concerns in
the United States united in publishing
a page advertisement throughout the
country in which they invited the gen.
eral public to visit the plants and "see
for yourself what the conditions are"
In response to this advertisement
we'll known newspaper man of Wash
ington being in Chicago took occasion
to make a through inspection of the
packing industry. He spent four days
in the stock yards and packing town,
and during those four days every pos
sible portion of the plants from the
platform upon which the live stock is
unloaded through the killing room. the
cooling room and the canneries even to
the cellars and the watts in which con-
demned carcasses are converted into
fertilizer were examined and examined
thoroughly.

(By e. c. SNYDER,

Washington, D. c., Aug. 6.-After
the first day of October next, every
piece of meat which leaves packing
house or a slaughter house will bear
a brand or label marked "U. s. In
spected and Passed." And according
to the regulations which were issued
by the secretary of agriculture the
other day, this brand or label will be
a notification to the world that the
United States absolutely guarantees,
under its Official seal, that the product
is clean, wholesome and that it was
packed and slaughtered under the
most careful sanitary conditions which
the ingenuity of man can DEVISE
According to the census reports of
the year 1900, there were 929 packing
plants in the United States. The total
capital invested in the industry was
$237 sos, 440, and the value of the an
nual product of these establishments
reached the enormous total of $685.
914.624. OF course this includes great
many small establishments which are
veridge law, and the secretary of agri-
culture is not prepared to say at
present just how many of these plants
will be suject to government inspec-
ton, but the secretary does say, and
he says it with great deal of en-
phasis, that no establishment which
fails to provide itself with government
inspectors will be permitted to ship
ham, quarter of beef or a can of
goods, in which meat enters as COM
ponent part. to any place outside the
state in which the establishment is
located unless it first provides for
government inspection.
The new law will be put into full
force and effect on the first day of
next October. On that day every ham,
every side of beef, every strip of ba-
con, every can Of lard, every package
of meat food products, in fact every
article of food of which forms part
whether in barrel, box, can, canvas
sack or in any receptacle or container,
or loose, must bear government
stamp before railroad company will
accept it for shipment to point out
side the state in which 1t was pre-
pared.
