Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1906-01-27

legged beef trust controls incidentally
the domestic hide market. which Con.
gress closed practically for the benefit
of the beef trust by clapping a duty of
ID per cent nd valorem on foreign
hides. The alleged beef trust, accord.
ing to Associated Press dispatches,
now also controls the domestic tanning
industry. Hence the beef trust fixes
now the cost Of the leather. the raw
material out Of which shoes are made,
ana hence Il controls both the prices
OF shoes In the domestic market and
In the export shoe trade, built up at
great expense by our shoe manufac.
turers.
Furthermore, Il is common knowl.
edge that the domestic price Of butter,
eggs. butterlne, dressed poultry, the
grains. fruits, vegetables. apples. potn.
toes and probably other foods Is reyu.
lated largely by the same trust of cor.
pOratlons.
This Is logical and unavoidable mt
present. 1t is due In part to special
privileges Of lower rates I'm the ship
mensc grain elevators and cold. d.storage
plants scattered at the strategic points
and In part, 10 doubt. to the sheer
brutal force of unlimited millions Of
dollars: n power welded by few per.
sons whom society does not hold per.
sonnlly responsible at present.
Thanks TO the beef Trust methods,
cancer numbered 1.10I victims In Chi
cagO In 1905. or % more than In 1904
-an Increase Of the rate per 10000 Of
population Of DOB pcr cent.
The Increase In deaths from cancer
In Chicago In 1908 over the average
for the decade ended In 1904 was iO.1
pcr cent. and over the average rate Of
the decade ended In 1854 was BAL per
cent!
The 1leef Trust deserves to bc we'll
hanged ut the hands Of the people Of
Chicago. A few years ago an inves.
tlgdtIon by the city authorities dis.
closed the fact that x?.5OO.OOO worth Of
water had been stolen from tho city
by means OF blind pipes. by members
Of the Beef Trust. or course tho
city never got cent Of It's money
because tho Beef Trust controlled the |
fright" officials. ChIcago's Honest
Health Commissioner has now caught
the Beef Trust In the act Of dumping
impure food Into Chicago. !
