BUTCHERS EXPOSE TRUST TRICK.

BUTCHERS EXPOSE TRUST TRICK.
q O great fuss has been made about the IN
- creased cost of living in New York that the
Retail Butchers Association decided to investigate
and ascertain why wholesale prices have been
so high The report of the Butchers committee
was made the other day to their convention 1t
exposed one novel method of the trust to hooI
wink the public
The report saws that in some instances the
trust owns the controlling interest in the big
cattle ranches The trust therefore buys cattle
from itself at high prices thereby blutting the
people and the government into believing that
stock raisers arc demanding so much for their
live beef that the trust must keep prices up to
prevent loss to itself
Under the scheme the more the trust pays
itself for its own stock the higher figures 1t is
able TO show on the bills OF sale which despite
the fake transactions, are regularly made out.
These bills of sale recording the high prices
paid for live stock, are shown to the government
investigators. The trust therefore has every
thing in its own hands
\. The beef trust has celebrated the approach OF
the H3n. Theodore Roosevelt by boosting. the
price Of meat again. I'm New York City beet
now costs at wholesale I2H to I3 cents, the
highest price ever known in peace times. In
June of lastNyear the wholesale price was Q IA
cents pound
The increase is considered so unwarrantel
that the retail butchers, instead of apologKlng
for the trust as many of them have done in the
past are denouncing meat barons in no uncertain
terms SO far as the people the consumers are
concerned, nothing has been done since the anti
meat boycott came to sudden and disastrous end.
I'm fact nothing seems to be doing about nigh
prices. Hot air Investigations have been made,
the principal result of which has been to furnish
commissioners of inquiry with fat rolls for eN-
penses. The chief feature of one OF the reports
was statement generating the trusts from re-
sponsbtv for high prices.
Nothing will be done until the people rise in
their wrath and demand that the government
shall take the bad trusts by the back of the neck
andebring them to terms lust certainly this
is not done, Socialism will grow and the old
reactionaries will be unable to scare people by
CRYING about Socialism, There will be a demand
for relief from these artihcially enhanced prices
that must be needed.

TECHNIcALIT1Es MAY BALK JUSTICE


HERE is a fear in Illinois that the grafters
Il in the last legislature and the Democratic
crowd that supported Lorimer for Senator will
escape punishment Some of those who voted
for Lorimer have confessed and the opinion is
widespread that Lorimer was elected by means
of crooked work
The general charge against the accused graft
ers is that they sold their votes on score or
more of measures and the proceeds of the lack
pot the corrupt fund. gathered for purchasing
legislation was divided among the vote sellers.
The "jack-pot business was skfully man
aged by committee SO that it is hard to get evil
dence specifically about each transaction In
which the "iackpoucrs" NAV have been engaged.
Much Of the success of the prosecuting attor-
neys efforts to convict must depend on the cstab-
lshine of proof showing the general conspiracy
to sell legislation.
With several prisoners arraigncd before him,
the presiding Judge at the trial has ruled that all
evidence tending To- shoN~a general conspiracy
is irrelevant Though there is a mass of evidence
and confession indicating conspiracy and crooked
work it may be very difficult for the prosecution
directly to connect each person accused with n
specific act of bribery Therefore an acquittal OF
most of the accused is expected and will prob
ably come
80 wonder the Lormer followers arc happy.

NO FORMAL RULE FOR AUcTIoNEERs.

officially discarded and that auctioneers who per
sisted in using them should be froWned upon
1t was suggested that auctioneers who did not
use the words would be more digniied
But dignity or not some of the auctoneers
vgorously opposed the change, declaring that
the three words were their best stock in trade.

But no matter what may be the ruling of the
convention. the auctioneers will use whatever
words strike their fancy or will serve to lure the
hesitating bidders. Think of restricting a Della
ware auctoneer to language formulated by a
convention sitting in Chicago.
And what is there about the auctoneer that
lacks dignity Nothing is more dignihed than
than the old time auctioneers who slowly and
deliberately "cred a sale in front Of the old

the sale Of big farm was involved, paused long
between cries. gave everyone chance to bid,

Perhaps those who would do away with the

BUY AT HOME.


Statesville Landmark.
A further remark on the Christmas
buying: Buy at home. The home
merchants are entitled to the trade
We are all intPrdppendent and no
man liveth unto himself. A great
many people buy away from home
simply 'for the big of the thing"
They think it looks important to say
they Dpent the day in some other
town "shopping," and often they
could get the same goods at home for
less money. Others patronize the
mail order houses because of the at
Effectiveness things away from home
have for the average mortal. Col
umns could be written about this
matter, all in favor of patrOnizing
home folks, but this particular article
will close with one further remark.
The women, who are always foremost
in all good works, are the greatest
Offenders in this martpr Of buying
away from home. The Landmark
wants to ask these good women who
they appeal to. who they depend on,
when they want to do something at
home? When they want help for
some worthy cause, when they want
to get up money for something, they
don't 90 to some neighhoring town
nor to New York or Chicago. They
walk down town and ask the bust
ness men. Ponder this fact. 1t is
only one in thousand that could be
advanced. Give the matter serious
thought, then look over the stocks
Of the home merchants before yougo
elsewhere to buy.

avoid the rush. has been the advice
given and many persons are acting
upon it. Conditions have been favor
able, the stocks of our local dealers
are pretty and plenteous and the
people have been buying in advance
OF the actual holiday week. Best of
all, they seem to have more money
than usual and are making larger
purchases and buying IA higher class
of goods. Henderson merchants were
never better prepared for the holiday
requirements. In the splendid and
attractive stocks displayed there are

ter, for all corners and calculated to
