They Are Said TO Have Dominated the
Local Harrison Political Machine

Why the City Inspection of Diseased
Beef, Dead Swine and Poultry
Was Discontinued.

The Beef Trust is going TO cut a big

Developments point to the fact that
the Beef Trust manipulated some pco.

Everybody knows that the only pro.
lection vOuchsafed the people is a
rigid inspection of the beef, sheep
and swine that are killed.
Everybody knows that the National
and State inspection is farcical to
such Il degree as to be positively dan.
gerous TO the public health.
Everybody knows that under a
number Of city administrations the
city maintained force of inspectors
and n competent bactcriOlogist on the
unfit for food.
Everybody knows what happened
to DR.. Jacques. the city bactcriologist.
who performed his duty faithfully and
who offended the Beef Trust by dc.
Tending the public.
Everybody knows that hc was sum.
marily dismissed under the Harrison
administration and the city inspection
of Beef Trust input and output was
discontinued.
Why?
Because. Il has since developed. the

The Beef Trust has had It's mon In

A Writer Holds This Awful Organization
Responsible for the Spread
of Cancer
And Also Says that 1t Is Guilty of
Spreading tuberculosis and
Other Diseases.

The most amazing stupidity conceiv-
able of any people with foreheads is
that they should allow their supply
of food TO pass into the hands of one
speculative interest, says Charles Ed
ward Russell in powerful article
written by him in the Appeal to Rea.
son. You can understand how care
less community might tolerate a mo-
nopoly of some things. how it might
endure to have its transportation. for
instance, or its electric light. control
led by one ownership, for men can
live without sleeping cars or arc
lamps: but that it should tolerate a
monopoly of the primal necessity of
food is beyond comprehension and
without precedent. Even naked saw
ages have uniformly been too wise
for that. and the only nation that has
ever submitted to such a monstrous
condition Is our own.
From a thousand illustrations of the
injuries we all suffer from this idiotic
arrangement let us cite one.
There Is no way of communicating
disease to the human body surer than
through infected meat tissue. Some
of the worst and most destructive ba.
cilli that prey upon mankind are com.
mon among the animals he eats for
food. Cows have tuberculosis and
spread vast quantities Of It through
the human population. 1t Is so com.
mon among cows that the wise and
the forewarned will use none but stcr.
ilized milk. What Is hog cholera"
among swine Is merely typhoid fever
IN men. Trichnea in hogs poisons
human beings. Both these diseases
are common among swine.
Worse than all these. and more
deadly. is another fact that Is seldom
commented upon because 1t is too ap.
palling TO dwell much upon. What Is
called "lumpy jaw" in cattle Is simply
cancer. The germs of cancer are
communicable. Many cattle have
"lumpy jaw" Any animal with
''lumpy Jaw" Is unfit for human
food.
This opens n field that demands the
immediate attention Of the govern
ment. Cancer Is the most terrible Of
all diseases. After It has reached n
certain stage of development 1t is alb.
solutcly incurnble. Its progress Ia
that stage may be without the pa
tents knowledge or suspicion. lts
advance beyond that stage cannot
even be checked. It Stays Its victims
with the most horrible torture.
In this country the recent increase
OF this most terrible of human nf
fiictions has been something to alarm
MS all. 1t was once rare; 1t now
threatens to become common. In the
Cincinnati hospital, In the year 1870
u. the number Of cancer0us patients
was one In ISL. In 1904 the number
was one In ?I3. In 1870, when thu
total population Of the city was c1G,
239. the number Of cancer cases re
ported at all the institutions was 4?
In 1900, with total population o.
325,0O2, the number Of cancer case
reported at all the institutions wal
Jos, and In 1908, with about the SAM
population, the number was 267.

tonishlng increase.

denominations. No action having been
taken upon this recommendation, or TO pro-
vlde by other means the supply OF metal
required, purchases Of silver bullion have
been resumed Under section 1929, Revised
Statutes, the Attorney-General having
given a written opinion to the effect that
authority for purchases existed under this
statute, and hat the demand for these
coins might be supplied without limit. On
the basis of the coinage OF the last five years,
approximately 5000 900 ounces of silver
will be required annually for subsidiary
coinage, and with the growth OF population
and bushes this, amount will be exceeded.
Il repeat my recommendation OF a year
ago that section 1927, Revised Statutes, be
amended by striking out the provision
which requires silver coins to be paid out at
the mints and at the assay Office at New
York. The issue and redemption OF these
coins should be through the Treasury and
Sub-Treasuries The mints should pay
out coins only on orders from the T~reasureS.
The effect of the law as it stands is to create
a demand on the mints for perfectly new
coin, although there may be already an
abundance Of coin in good condition in the
Treasury"
