manufacturers from using the tariff as
q tax on home consumers. But the re-
publicans, hoping to be able to "fry the
fat" out of the protected interests,
promptly killed this mild suggestion.
There was another sop to the trusts
in the defeat of the appeal for law to
prohibit combinations formed for the
purpose of sitting competition and i'm
posing the imprisonment penalty for
violations. 1t was doubtless the prison
alternative that brought about the
rejection of this plank.
The refusal to adopt the plank provid-
ing for the extension of the eight hour
law to all government departments is
an indication of the republican love for
the laboring man. The fact should not
be lost sight of in the campaign.
And the responsibility, the full re-
sponsibility, for all these sins of omis-
sion rests upon the shoulders of Will
liam H. Taft and Theodore Roosevelt.
They cannot evade it, for the record
shows that the convention was theirs
to handlc as they pleased. Salt Lake

Shortage OF Beef Cattle

For the first time in the nations
history it appears there is IL real short
age OF beef cattle in this country. The
shortage is so serious that packers who
have contracts for space on steamship
iA2S are in some cases paying their
freight rates, but are making no ship
lronts, as they can get more for their
mat at home than on the other side of
tie Atlantic. Those who do not take
tAat course nevertheless find it impos-
sole to fill their contracts abroad.
ThiH shortage il doubtless temporary
ard is the result of the high price of
fed and the low prices for beef last
Year. As IL consequence of that condi-
TN every animal that was any where
near fit for the block went forward, and
il was noted all last season that never
was the supply of 2-year-old beef so
large in all the markets. To get rid of
buying grain at the prices last year u

b. finding market now were disposed
