Meat Prices Here And Abroad

How the price Of commodities
is affected by protection as com
pared with free trade is shown
by the price Of meatin Germany
and England. In Germany the
Aqrarians land own ers- by
means Of a highly protective
tariff and all sorts OF restrictions
upon imports Of meat, have 50
increased the price as to make it
prohibitive for the poorer class
es.
In England the price of meat
and cattle, upon which there are
no import duties, has varied bat
slightly during The past three
years. The London Economist,
which publishes a monthly indeY
number Of the price commodities
in its September issue gives the
index number for mat on Sept
ember LIST as 143; the index num-
Der for May l, 1907 is also given
as 143, so that the price is the
same today as it was three years
Great Britain Imports cattle
and meat from the United
States, the Argentine Republic,
Denmark. Holland, France,
Canada, Australia, and New
Zealand, and the price is fxedi in
this free trade market according
to the law supply and demand.
AS the price has been stable in
the English market for three
years it is fair to assume that
the supply has been ample;
for if there had been a shortage
competition would certainly have
advanced prices.
In the United States, as in
Germany, with our protective
tariff the price of meat has ad-
vanced and will remain high I'M
til we let down our tariff-pro-
lection bars and allow COMPETE
ton as England does.
