VIII history repeat itself in the anti-meat
boycott OF the present timer Forty-five
years ago a similar wave Of public indlg-
nation swept over the country. directed
against the uplift Of prices OF the neces-
saries OF life following the close OF the
civil war At that time, too thousands
promised to do without meat until exorbi-
tant prices were reduced. Clubs were
formed to protest against overcharges'
clubs OF a different sort were used to en-
force abstentlon; the government was
asked to Intervene; combinations were as
sailed because they were, in popular fancy,
solely responsible for high prices. People
lost sight OF the altered conditions
wrought by war. and clamored for imme-
date return to prices of ante-bellum days.
When the war ended, relates the New
York Evening Post, prices we're higher
than ever before-fsr higher than they evor
have been since. Wheat was SEQ a bushel,
corn s1S5, pork $40 barrel Of 100 pounds,
beef s20
The protest of the people against these
charges was quite as spontaneous as now.
Just how It started would be hard to say;
likely enough 1t was in much the same
way. But the hold it took on the people
one evening from business in lower New
York, agreed that they and their families
would do without meat for sixty days;
within week their entire neighborhood
was with them. Newspapers encouraged
the movement in strongest terms. The
New York Times, in its editorial columns
of June %, 1866, put the matter to it's read
ers as follows:
Every family that leaves the butcher
severely alone acts simply with common
sense. Diminished consumption was never
yet known to fail in reducing the price of
any articles Of large supply, nor will It
fail In the case of meat The whole cause of
the present complaint is that a number OF
spectators are trying TO train the public into
paying permanent exorbitant rates. They
think that IL they can hold out against
public Indignation for a while people will
get used to extortion. But this is a mis-
take Prices must come down. and the

How did the boycott succeed? 1t would
be hard TO say. Conditions then were rad
ically different from what they are now,
so that periods cannot be taken a pre-
cedent. Six months after the boycott be-
gan the following newspaper item ap-
peared:

erage OF nearly 50 per cent more than we

for smaller sales by securing larger profits.

Many others, who were at loss to ex-
plain their high food bills, appealed to
the newspapers for the reason. Here is
the answer given by one of them:
Your butcher will say that meat is
higher now, owing to-what? The price OF
gold? But, you will say, gold is only lSS
cents in paper for a gold dollar, so that
cannot be the reason. The bad season?
No, nor that either; the weather and crops
were never so fine. The army wants the
meat in the field2 Why, the boys have
come home. Short supply of cattle? There
were considerably more cattle in market
this week than were wanted or sold! No,
there is no reason but that avaricious
spectators put up the price, and you
grumble and submit to be fleeced. Learn
resolutely to shut your basket up empty,
rather than submit to extortion.
There can be no hesitation as to what
tho ultimate result will be, and every per-
son who abstains from meat will hasten
it, There are many great hotels whose
proprietors can help In the matter; their
customers, at all events will find on the
various bills of fare plenty Of substitutes
for meat"
So, after that, the butchers were made to
bear the brunt of public Indignation. In
a naive little note some one wrote that
butchers once had been gentlemen. AS
matter OF fact, while they were not primar-
lily to blame for the extreme level OF
prices prevailing, they greatly aggravated
the situation by jacking their figures above
the point necessary to show Legitimate
profits They paid the penalty by being
socially, almost ostracised.
Omaha daily bee., 1910-02-09

Pitiful little incidents were frequent.
The following plainttive letter is typical
OF those which appeared at the time:
Il am a clerk in a store and live in a
tenement house All last winter 1 could
hardly afford to buy meat, nor can 1 buy
enough now. There are no reckless, ex-
travagant persons round where l live, and
the man buy a little meat of has few
rich customers. The little bits of beef and
mutton we poor people buy costs SO much
that, as my wife says, it is like eating
money. Why, dollar is nothingl'
1t is literally true that there was a vast
number of people in New York City-not
to mention the rest OF the country--to
whom the question of actual life and death
depended in a large measure on the price
of food Yet some of the poorer people
entered into a controversy over causes of
the exorbitant level of prices contsnding
that the anti-meat movement would have
no good effect. One man, in a public letter,
stated that he was earning $40 a week, but
thought prices were too high, because
wages were too high. N,-l
lie declared tnat it was the retailer who
had the public at his mercy; that whole-
sale quotations had gone down, but that
TeLdll pTlCeS ndu gone up. nc duuSu'
Look at our restaurants! Flour, butter,
sugar and coal are about one-third less in
price than they were a year ago. Why
then do not the restaurants lower their
prices? Because there are plenty of people
with money in their pockets to patronize
them. Money was never so plentiful as
now and never was spent so lavishly as
at present. Enter any theater, barroom or
restaurant and you will find there class
of men who formerly could not afford to
patronize such places. / have repeatedly
seen rough-looking fellows that apparently
earned their living by manual labor dining
at first class restaurants on delicacies that

with the present high rate of wages, tends
to keep prices at their present standard" !"
