American People Must Play Santa

Meat Profits Enormous.
Especial Correspondence.l

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 2O.-This
is going to be merry, merry
Christmas for the beef trust. The
American people are playing San
Ia Claus'this year to the monopo-
ly with more lavish hand than
at any time since the panic days
of the civil war.
ALI who pay for a Christmas
dinner will join in filling the al
ready bulging stocking of the
packers. Meat is higher, poultry
is much higher, butter is higher,
eggs are higher; in fact, the whole
Christmas bill-of-fare this year,
from soup to nuts, is going to cost
from 10 to 80 per cent more than
it did last year.
Take turkey, for instance.
Nearly everybody, from the ragged
urchin ON the street to the mil
iionaire, is going to have bite of
turkey on Christmas. The Saliva
tion Army. which does such a
good work for the poor every
Christmas, will be hit just as hard
as the man who pays his house
hold expenses every month with
n check.
In fact; the country is facing a
turkey famine, At least that was
the advance information given out
by the packers who have their
cold-storage plants packed with
last years flaverless,. toughening
birds. The cause'of the famine is
not lack of land on which to raise
the barnyard monarchs, scarcity
