FARMERS and FARMERS.
What is Being Realized in Cattle
Raising.

At this time of cotton depression and
generally unsettled conditions in the
industrial and commercial world, when
farmers who foolishly held their cot
ton for a fat Is cents a pound and re-
fused to sell it for Is LIZ cents are now
'quaking lest they will not even real
ize 10 cents for it, the ARGUS desires to
produce some evidence sustaining the
wisdom of this paper in it's persistent
~reiteration with it's farmer riends to
raise more cattle on their farms for
market.
The price of beef and other heats
has advanced steadily in the face of
cotton decline, a thing hat is unpre-
cedented, and this should emphasize
upon our farmer readers what might
be their profitable experience now
with stored, depreciated cotton had
their grazing lands been devoted to
cattle raising.

Washington, May Am e1ght-lnch
stack OF kilograms from It's newspaper
publishers throughout the country, tell
ing OF the increased cost OF print paper,
was submitted today to the special COM
mittee of the house investigating that
subject. by John Norris, of New York,
who occupied the witness stand the.
entire day. Applying these teie-'
graphed statements, Mr.. Norris pre-
scented a mass Of facts and figures sub
stantiative of the charges brought
against the International Paper Com
pany by the National Newspaper Pub
fishers Association.
The committee has practically de-
cided to adjourn atnoon of next Friday
and go to Falmer's Falls, Saratoga
county, n. Y, to inspect the mills of
the Hudson River Paper Company n
take testimony there relative TO cost
of paper production.
Forty-six newspaper publishers, Mr..
Norris informed the committee, have
te~legraphed that they are willing to
come to Washington and give test1.
mony. Chairman Mann requested hat
they be informed OF the likelihood of
noon adjournment on Friday in order
that as many of them as possible may
appear and testify between n
then. The committee adjourned until
tomorrow.
The recitation by Mr.. Norris of the
increase in the cos of paper by con-
tract prices provoked Chairman Mann
to ask Mr.. Norris if he had any theory
as to what caused the wide range OF
prices paid by Illinois newspaper
from 81. 40 to $40 increasd per ton. Mr..
Norris replied that commissions, pur-
chase at mills, quality OF paper, guam
tity contracts and place of delivery un-
doubtedly combined to make the ex-
PLANTATION.
"Do you know asked Me-. Mann,
''whether the prices at the mills on a
given grade of paper are uniform!'
I'VE are here" answered Mr.. Norris,
attempting to show that a combina-
ton has been enteredinto by the paper
manufacturer to uniformly raise the
price of paper 2 1-2 cents a pound, and
that this combination .contemplates a
further advance to 8 cents q pound"
1t was pointed out by Mr.. Mann that
in ar occasional instancei it appeared
that quotations iwers lower by some
dollars per ton than the existing prices
under contract.

market. Because of the scarcity of
cattle these packing houses have adj
vapced their prices to US. We are re-
quired to raise our prices in accord
ance,"
J. w. Kobb, a retail dealer in Center
Market, said:
1--WE are paying IL 1-2 cents a pound
for bullocks. That is why the public
is paying 25 cents a pound for %sirloin,
80 cents for p~orterhouse, and Is cents
for chuck steak. There has been a
scarcity of beef throughout the
try, and until the pastured stock is put
on the market there will be little
change in prices. Since the cold spell
came on we have been paying about 2
cents more per pound wholesale for
beef. Yesterday I paid 10 IL cents
for beef, while last week it was selling
for 9 cents a pound. This price does
not apply to the high grade. Meat
sells, like everything else, according
to the cut and grade. The public at
present is paying more for beef than
has been charged for many years.
Scarcity of cattle is the cause of
the high prices. What caused the pro-
nounced scarcity is something which
nobody seems to know. Beet now On
the market is corn fed. Corn has been
higher the last winter than it has been
for some years. Farmers have sold
their crops outright instead of using
the grain for fatrening purposes, rs
they do when the price is low"
SOME PRESENT PRICES.
Beet cut for roasts is quoted by the
retail dealers at from 20 to Is cents per
pound. Leg lamb is bringing about
the same price. although a few deal
ers are disposing of the better cuts at
80 cents. Sirloin steak ranges from Is
to 25 cents, and p~orterhouse from 25
to 80 emit a pound. Veal chops are
bringing 18 and % cents, while outlets
are selling at 80 a pound. Pork
chops, ham and bacon are selling
slightly in excess of the prices quoted
last season.
Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1908-05-07

That the retail and wholesale prices
now being charged for meats eff ali
kinds are the highest recorded in the
past sevenIyears has bee demonstrate
ed by a careful analysis of figures OBJ
tanned from local dealers. An increase
over the retail prices charged a year
ago last month OF from 2 to Z cents q
pound is shown by these figures. Some
dealers contend hat there is no relief
in sight for the housewife who is con-
fronted with the task Of making two
ends meet, while others predict that as
soon as CRASHED beef reaches the mar
ket there will be a drop in price of that
sort of N eat.
The dealers are loath to follow h
lead Of Representative Hitchcock. of
| Nebraska, who is conducting q cam
paign against the so-called beef trust,
and who declares that this cOmbina-
ton is responsible for the raise in the
prices. The dealers accept b ex-
%planatien of the big packing companies
that a scarcity of cattle has caused the
increase in price. Upward of a score
of them who have been interviewed
relieve the. alleged trust from blame.
The meat markets., the dealers say,
at present are supplied with cattle
which have been housed through the
winter and fattened on grain and fod-
der. They say this class of beef COM
mands a better market price than the
pastured stock. The retail dealers con-
tend that they are compelled to charge.
more this season than last because
they themselves are required to pay
the prices asked by the large packing
houses.
SCARCITY OF ATTLE
J. H. Johnson, a retail dealer, of
Louisiana avenue, attributes the adj
vance in prices to the scarcity of cat
tie. He said:
There has beer a decided scarcity
Of cattle all through the Western and
Southwestern States, which, in my
opinion, is the primary cause for the
high prices now asked for beef and
other meats. There are three or four
large packing houses in the United
States which control the entire meat

BRYAN AND LABOR

This question Is one that carries us
back to the consideration of who is
the real friend of the laboring man.
Bryan or Taft The best way to draw
conclusions is in considering the past
which his really the best indication of
what we may expect in the future.
1t is known fact that the protective
tariff has had more to do with the Ia
boring man continuing in steady en-
Dloyment than any other factor, also
that this is accountable for the wages
continually increasing. Under the pro-
sective tariff the capitalist and factory
7man have been able to know that when
they invested their money in any en-
7terprize they were reasonably sure
that they were not going to loose by
!Deing undersold by some foreign con-
Germ, which, On account of low wages
were able to manufacture articles
cheaper than they could in this coun-
try. The laboring man was secure so
. long as these conditions existed.
Wages have continually increased un-
til now the United States pays larger
salaries to it's laboring men than any
country on the face of the globe.
AT the time of the election of Grover
cleveland it was thought that the pro-
eeedve tariff was to be swept away.
The result was that the factories all
over the country shut down. The CAPT
talists were afraid to continue, know
ing that if they were thrown in open
competition with the old world where
wages were about one-fourth what
they are in this country they would go
bankrupt The result was that mil
lions of laboring men were thrown out
of employment, suffering was apparent
on every hand, we had the Coxey army
and many serious things happening all
during the democratic reign.
When the republicans again took up
Gne government. The assurance of a
continuance of the policy of protec-
ton to the merican industries was
assured, factories were again opened,
the laboring man found employment
and as result general wave of pros
perity swept the country which has
continued to the present time.
Now the same condition confronts
us. The republicans promise to call
a special session of congress immed.
lately following election for the pur.
pose of adjusting the tariff schedules
They do not promise to abolish the
protective tariff. This they know
would be ruinous to the country. But
they do promise to make such changes

&c. 4 admit that we were not exactly GER

sorry plight to be on a ticket which
the party is ashamed to make public.

candidates expect to really make the
run and which do not we will in the
near future print the list SO that they

FIRST GUN BOOMs-

1t has leaked out that the demo-
cratic campaign in Ramsey county is
to be started from the northeast cor
ner OF the county and that the big gun
which is to fire the heavy artillery is
to be the Brocket News. This enor-
nous spellbinding sheet is to be fol-
lowed up by the other democratic pa-
per of the county.
Since this knowledge has been
known events have been watched with
the amount of awe that such a condf.
ton would naturally inspire. The
Denis. have been busy recently mix
ing the dope which is to be the amuui-
ton for the mud batteries which they
expect to play
Last Thursday the long looked for
happened The big gun doomed and
its handful of readers were treated
to choice lot of hot air in tire shape
OF TRADE all along the line. OF the
News four columns of home print
matter, over two were devoted to dem
ocratic politics. The editor got busy
with his keen editorial jack knife and
carved some weighty editorial matter
from some of his exchanges. He even
went farther than this and actually
wrote an article himself (maybe) as
sailing Judge Cowan, we understand
that the Judge however is going on
with his regular business Just as
though nothing had happened, and is
gaining votes every day.
But this was not all. The windy
prognosticator of democratic doctrine
went further than this, he dipped his
pen in red ink and penned the follow
ing:
Judge John F. Henry put his foot
into it good and plenty by his recent
action in the drug store permit mat
, ter at the county seat and he will
have to do a lot of explaining between
now and election to square himself

as are for the best interests of all
the people.
The democrats have also promised
to call special session of congress
if Bryan Is elected for the purpose of
considering the tariff. But here is the
difference. The democrats stand for
tariff for revenue only. It Is their in
tention, if possible to do away with the
protective tariff. This brings US down
to the interest that the laboring man
mas IN this question. If the manufac-
turer Is uncertain what the outcome
Is going to be he will in protection to
himself close his factory, which will
again put the laboring man out of en-
ployment and there is probability of
the same hard times which were exper-
fenced during the former democratic
incumbency of the Office. This is not
only true of the laboring man but the
same Is true relative to the farmer, as
grain would be put on the free list If
the democrats had their way and the
result would be great falling of in
the price Of all grains produced by the
American farmer.
The people who passed through the
former democratic hard times admins
tration have not forgotten it and if
the later generation will but take the
matter under serious consideration.
and study the matter before they de-
eide, there will be mighty few of them
that will cast their vote for Bryan and
another dose of the Coxey's army and
democratic hard times
