Why Meat is High Priced.

"The number off God animals in
the united States has decreased
100000 since 1901, and the num-
Der of consumers has increased l2.-
100000 in Ghe same time" So says
the Bureau of Statistics. And 1t brings
forward figures to sustain its asser-
ton Food animals" include cattle,
sheep and hogs and, OF course, CON
sumers" means the entire 10000, 900
of population.
Without going any farther, here is
one great cause for the advance in
meat prices. Probably the expansion
in the production Of gold accounts for
some of the advance, as IL does I'm that
of other things. But the falling off
in the supply ard the increase in the
demard viii be sufficient to explain
much of the upward movement in
meat prices. Probably, in some de-
gree, a like cause can be cited for the
increase in prices for other kinds of
food. Everybody knows that corn
ard wheat production has remained
practically stationary for many years.
while che gain in population has been
at the rate Of 100000 year. 1t Is
doubtless the same with the vegetable
crops which do not figure in the re-
ports of the Bureau Of Statistics. The
tariff has had but little TO do with
the increased cost OF living. Natural

Return of a Singed Cat.

The singed cat is coming back.
Democrats all over the country whose
long identification with high finance
marked them as unavailable during
the reign of Organism and the rele-
CATION of the tariff issue have taken
heart of hope. Two special congress
sional elections, in districts as far
apart on the maps as East Massa-
chusetts and West Missouri, are
bringing them out of long-enforced
retirement to offer themselves again
upon the affairs of their country. The
surface Of the waters everywhere is
growing dotted with the heads of
them, bobbing up serenely from be-
low, under a conviction that the skies
above are clearing. They seem 10 feel
sure at last that there is again pos
sibilty for a conservative" Demo-
crat TO get something. They appear
to harbor the delusion that noh.ng
but tariff IS to be talked in this years
campaigning. And when tariff is the
paramount issue of a campaign, no.
body's heart can bleed for the plain
people and the common people Ike
that OF a Democrat loaded up with
the gilt-edge securities of a preda-
tory trust Nobody can feel for the
cratic can0.da'e for Congress who is
interested in enterprises for corner
ing the necessities of life.
The late Senator German was the
spokesman of this class throughout
the making of the Democratic tariff
law during the uncertain, hesttating,
doub full years of 1S93-94-95, when
panic was precipitated. He had been
chairman of the National Democratic
Committee in one or two of it's great
tariff campaigns. Preceding him in
the chair of the National Democratic
Committee had been William II. Bar
mum of Connection, ard Calvin s.
Brice of Ohio, men as thoroughly
bden'i flied with corporate monopoly as
ever German was. A growing con-
sc.ousnefs of the Inconsistencies of
such leadership with Democratic
party professions of solici.ude for the
masses was the root of Organism in
the Democratic organization. The
wretched performances of 1S93-95
brought conviction and clinched rad
ical action. Since 1896 the great
Democrats who had SO long yearned
20 relieve the people Of all other bur-
dens than those in which great DEM
Ocrahc leaders were financially in
teresfed, or could get an interest,
have had TO lie low and wait for the
tariff question TO rise again.
1t has been a long wait. The coun-
try has prospered long and well under
the protective policy. 1t has been
brought up out of the slough of des-
pond into which 1t sank during the
years of the early 90s In which a
Democratic administration at Wash
ington hesitated, trembled, and finally
split into fragments. But so many
new voters have come into the cleo
boraoe since then that 1t seems now
this old and hoary chelEnut OF an is
sue must be argued all over again.
The party of protection is ais certain
to win In the final Analysts as Amer
dean intelligence is certain TO take
care of itself. But in the meantime.
