they pleased, regardless as t.
whether or not the people were
able TO pay. They have SET the
price they must be paid. Not sat
isfied with that, they now pro
pose to fix the price they viii pay
1t is true that present prices
make meat prohibitiye for many
poor people, and this L. , pity.
We have no patience, though.
with the fanatic who merely
wants ito take a crack at the
farmer. We repeat if anybody
Is to blame it is not the farmer.
nor do we believe it IS tn local
butcher. The farmer is constantly
having to pay more for every
thing he has to buy. His shoes,
for instance, cost him much more
than formerly and the largest
advance was made at a time when
shoe manufacturers were buying
hides at the lowest prices for
years. 1t has been an arbitrary
advance not caused by a shortage
of raw material or in reascd cost
of manufacture-yet the farmer
and his family are still wearing
shoes. There have been no non
shoe-wearing clubs organized
Clothing prices have advanced
very much, but we still wear
clothes. There have been no fig
leaf clubs organized. Wire fene-
ing, farm machinery and most
manufactured articles arc higher,
not due to a scarcity of raw ma
terial, but because the favored
few who control the output find
1t easy to boost the price. The
farmer has for years been the
victim Of many trusts and combi-
nations and of laws framed ND
for the other fellow. Now that
natural conditions-the working
of the law of supply and demand
are bringing him somewhat in
creased returns, but not without
increased cost of production, a
great cry is raised against him
and boycottS are instituted.
If the packers are robbing the
people, as some have intimated,
the remedy is not to crack the
farmer between the eyes" 1t
may De Cnat a real mvcStlg alton
NOT a political "whitewash -
would reveal the fact that the
packers are getting more than
they ought to have and are
guilty of illegal combinations to
fix prices. We don't know what
their books will show. The far
mers' books, though will show
that he is getting no more than
that to which he is entitled-and
his books, honestly kept, are o.
pen to inspection. If the packers
have a trust and are forcing up
the price Of meat the government
to be able to p.ove the
fact and stop the practice. That's
what governments are fcl.-to
protect the people.
Boycotts are un-Americ;n and
dangerous. The unjust DO. colt is
a double first cousin to mol law.

The Meat Boycott "Unfair' to
Farmers.

Farmers.
During the last few da, 5 thou.
sands Of people, mainly tho be.
longing to trade unions. have in.
stituted a boycott on meat by a.
greeting not to eat it for a certain
length of time. Among the men
who have stock on feed there is
naturally considerable speculation
as to just what eff ct, If any,
this boycott win have.
There is no denying the fact
that dressed meat, sold over the
butchers scales, is high. II is
Just as true that during the last
few years the packers profits
have amounted to millions. But
this may be one time when the
packers are not altogether to
blame for the higher price.
During the year 1909 there was
a decrease of 100000 head of
stock marketed at st. Louis, Kan
sas City, Chicago, On;oha and
st. Joseph. As a result, the effect
of the present boycott is not like
ly to be very largely felt in bus
mess. Of course it will be if e.
nough people stop eating meat to
Save" the 2,5OO,O 900 shortage, so
to speak, and if no more stock
is grown and fattened during
the meat drouth" da, s. AS we
see it, though, there j, no occa-
sion for alarm among stock feed
ers. The self-constituted reeula-
tors of the meat market ale not
likely to cut any big figure: at
least while calves, lambs md pigs
are rushed from Cooper county
and from every other stock-ship-
ping section to help meet the de-
mand heretofore filled with ma
ture animals. The farmer hasn't
very much to fear from the agi-
tators, many of whom are seeking
cheap newspaper notoricty.
If the farmer can grow and
fatten the stock there will be
plenty of people to eat the meat.
The nations that do the thinking
and the work Of the world
meat eaters and are going to be
Tor some time to come. The safe
thing, and the only sensible
thing, for the farmer to do is to
go right on with his stock raising
and feeding.
1t would be a very serious mat
ter if the non-meat-cating clubs
should be taken seriously by far
mers and cause so much fear of
falling prices as to lead any large
per cent Of them to discontinue
breeding and feeding operations.
Then would the boycott prove a
mighty big boomerang.
1t might be possible-but far
from probable-for a shortage to
approach such proportions as to
lead the national government to
favor a stock subsidy BILL with
a little aid for many thousand
stockmen, instead Of "ship subsi-
BILL, with millions for a few
favored ship owners. Ridiculous
Doubtless-from the view point
of the millionaire ship owners and
their subservient senator's
Or suppose that the farmers,
declaring the unions "unfair"-
to use a stock word of The walk
ing delegate-and impressed with
the principle of agitation and
boycott, should start non-stock-
raising clubs and agree not to
breed or feed any more stock
for "a certain length of time.
What then? Truly there would
be crashing of teeth'-without
any meat between them.
