Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1906-02-10

SRed Decf trust controls incidentally
tile domestic hide market, which Con.
gress closed practically for the benefit
of the beef trust by clapping duty Of
10 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,
and hence II 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.
turcrs.
Furthermore, It IL common knowl.
edge that the domestic price of butter,
eggs, butterlne, dressed poultry, the
grains, fruits. vegetables, apples. pota.
toes and probably other foods Is rcgu.
lated largely by the same trust Of cor.
porati0ns.
This Is logical and unavoidable Mt
present. 1t Is due In part to special
privileges Of lower rates In the ship.
ping. private refrigerator lines. i'm.
mense grain elevators and cold.storage
plants scattered ut tho strategic points
and In part, no doubt, to the sheer
brutal force Of unlimited millions OF
| dollars: a power welded by few per.
sons whom society does not hold per.
sonally responsible at present.
Thanks to the Beef Trust methods,
cnncer numbered 1.10i victims IN Chi
cagO In 1905, or % more than In 1904
I'm increase Of the rate per 10000 Of
population Of 2.03 per cent.
The increase In deaths from cancer
in Chicago In 1905 over the average
for the decade ended In 1904 was 1O.1
per cent. ana over the average ratc Of
the decade ended In 1884 was 3l.1 per
cent!
One Of the most cunning and dcs.
pcrate deeds Of the Beef Trust was
! the defeat, by Beef Trust methods, Of
tho attempt Of tho secretary Of agri.
culture to secure 135 additional meat
inspectors for Chicago. Tho secretary
asked for $135.0OO to pay for 1875 In.
spectors to Inspect meats going to E-
rOpe--nOt meats for Americans, for
anything Is good enough for us. Tho
Congressional Committee. possibly un.
der Beef Trust hypnotic influence, only
appropriated $4,000. 30 the Euro.
peans are in almost as great danger as
ourselves.
