Benevolent DeSpOtiSm.

They do some of these things so
differently in Mexico. just now it
is a meat trust that they are
handling, and, of course, they are
doing it in the wrong way. What
better could be expected of a crude,
new, conglomerate people with an
Indian at its head and such limited
intellectual development as has de-
MED il understanding of immunity
baths and like modern conyeniences!
1t is an outrage on every cherished
principle of political economy and
governmental theory that such
things should be done, in the name
of ii republican government. as are
now being transacted by the Diaz
administration.
4 meat trust got control of the
business in Mexico City, and prices
were forced up to such extent that
a large proportion of the people
couldn't eat meat at all. Instead of
having an investigation made and
diseovering that the trust was earn
ing only per cent, and instead of
then starting prosecutions that end
ed with the immunity bath, the Diaz
depotism just hurried upon the
scene and grabbing the trust by the
neck proceeded to shake the life out
OF it. The performance was rude.
uncouth, inelegant. 1t has, however,
one thing in its favor: it is assuring
meat at living prices for the people,
and without delay.
But contemplate the sacrifice of
principles! 1t has not been decided
by congress that the government
ought 20 do such a thing, No court
has ruled that it is proper. Not a
single injunction has been secured,
argued, made permanent or dis
solved. Throughout the procedure
has been Grass, gross, and unpre-
cedented.
The government is TO build slaugh-
ter houses, buy cattle, kill it. open
meat shops, and sell meat for fair
prices Think of it,
And not long ago, when he was
satisfied that "a railroad system in
Mexico needed discipline, what did
this same Diaz do? Start a discus
sion of government ownership. with
Il view to letting the next genera
tion decide whether il would try the
SCHEME? No; he Just sent out to
the owners of that railroad that
they would please bring it in 20 his
office by a certain date, and accept
the price the government would pay.
It was a good price, and the railroad
was brought ia. Nobody enjoined
or demurred or litigated; the gov
eminent now has the railroad.
These gross excuses would per-
haps give more grievous shock but
for the fact that through them the
people of the Mexican capital win
get meat at living prices, and the
folks along that railroad will have
il operated hereafter as a real public
utility. These are sadly material
considerations which would not APP
peal to a high-browed community
such as the United States. 1t is
pOOd tn know that (rypn if neces-
saries of life come a bit high, so
that at times we don't feel just able
TO use them we are conducting our
governmental affairs according TO
precedent and with due considera-
tion of the rules of political econ
omy.
