From the New Orleans Daily states
Last fall when the plundering beef
trust advanced the price Of meat the ex-
cuse was that grass was scarce But al

yet another advance Is announced. and
the excuse this tine is the high cost Of
corn and other grain. and only grain-fed
cattle are coming into the market But
Il the cattle ralsers were questioned they
would say that the beef trust Is paying
no more for cattle now than before. The
truth Is. the reason for the present and
all previous advances OF meat prices IS

out the cattle OF Canada and Mexico.
hence the advances viii continue until

Senator La Toilette is entitled TO the

significant admissions with respect TO the
method by which the tariff IS being re
Hlsed in the house Of its friends Pro

should be revised so as 10 cover merely
