Meat Prices Up Again.

That the inconsiderable reductions
made in the tariff on dressed meats
would not make meat any less lux
ury on the tables of the poor is proved
by the advances in meat prices recent
lily announced
No one familiar with the meat sitIa-
ton expected a decrease in prices be-
cause they understand very well that
! the beef trust lis in absolute control
not only of the home market. but of
THE Argentine market as well Argen-
tine being the principal exporting
country of cattle dressed and on the
hoof, next to the United States.
While here no concern is expressed
over the fact that the trust absolutely
dominates the market, England is
alarmed at the prospect which col
fronts her.
The belief obtains in England that
eventually the United States will ha re
very little beef for export in conse.
quence of increased consumption at
home. and that England will become
more dependent on the Argentine and
Australian and New Zealand supplies.
The success of American beef pack
ers' control of the Argentine situation
makes England apprehensive of the
consequences She realizes that she
will have to pay forced tribute to the
Americans.
And realizing this she will under
stand that the world is the trust )
field, and not any individual country.

weavers' wages have increased by

What is the actual difference in the
labor cost of manufacture "at home
and abroad?' Did the republican
party keep its platform promise of re-
vision of the tariff on the basis Of
equalization of that difference. plus the
reasonable profit for home manufac-
turers?
When the cotton schedule was being
debated in the senate, no one of the
pIotectionists produced data to show
the foreign labor cost in the produc-
ton of cotton manufactures. When
the democratic members of congress
endeavored to find information on the
subject, they found it was not to be
had in all Washington. That is why

1t is important to know what the

cotton goods is, because cotton MANI

The New England cotton manufac-
turers, whom blind Senator Gore show
ed to be making profits as high as 81
per cent, cry that they must have high
protection because they pay their
workmen so much higher wages than
the cotton manufacturers of England.
Is this plea based on truth, or only
sham?
