DEAR MEAT IN PARIS.
The Expensiveness of Food G~ncrsstic-
ally Discussed Among Lower
Paris Correspondence to the London
rralaurnnb-

Telegraph.
People are crying out more than cvcr
against the increasingly high prices of
provisions. and there is no doubt that
the cost of living is largely responsible
for the strikes which are sc constantly
breaking out, for. in spite of the ger
'ra1 rise of wages, workmen find Them
selves no better off than they were
years ego. The dcarness OF meat is a
topic which is now being discussed With
considerable energy, and no wonder as
the cost of a beefsteak or q mutton
outlet has about doubled during the
past 10 Years. and so far, at least. as
the " classes are concerned, the
price is simply prohibitive.
There arc various reasons for this
augmentation. but the Liberte, which
has been holding an investigation into
is the avidity with which the Germans,
who prefer French beef to their own.
ransack the French markets. Some
butchers in Germany actually put up
scrolls inscribed French Meat" outside
thei, shops to tempt their customers.
So" eSclaims our contemporary in
dignantly. 1T is to regale these gentle
mon and the ladies of the German
bourgooist tina. Paris worknlen are
obliged to pay impossible prices for Il
beefsteak." The Wholesale dealers al
the NiIlette market in Paris expressly
altrlDutc the present unsatisfactory
state of things 10 the invasion of the
German dealers.
Nothing is too dear for them. They
must have oxen at all costs. 1t a cattle
breeder brings a fine herd OF oxen to a
fair they must be SOLD to them. Our
own dealers arc animated by a spirit
of emulation. so there is any mount
of bidding. This, of course. is to the
advantage OF the sellers, who i'm many
cases need not take their W oxen to
fairs, as buyers go to the pasture lands
in search of them. Tho wholesale butch
ers get their money back from the
retail ones, who, in their turn, fall up
on their customers"
But for this encroachment the supply
would be amply sufficient. as statistics
show that there has beer a steady i'm
crease in the number OF oxen through
out the country. ON the other hand,
while about $1,000 oxen were exported
in 1908. the figures rose last year to
$4,000. and the number will be greater
this year. In 1908, again, about $4,000
COWS were exported, but in 1910 the
number was nearly $4,000. Then,
whereas about $4,000 calves We're ex-
ported in 1909. the figure last year was
close Oh $4,000. These statistics speak
for themselves. and both the Wholesale
and retail butchers are now resolved to
make a stand and to bring the case be-
fore the minister of agriculture and
parliament. They will have the sup
port of a long suffering public.

The Associated Press is unique
news gathering agencies i'm that
1T is purely mutual i'm it's character, the
other big news agencies of the world
being proprietary concerns. 1t issues
no stock, makes no profit. and declares
no dividends. The Associated Press
does not sell news. but is IL clearing
house for h interchange of news
among its members. It's membership
consists of 500 daily newspapers pub
lished in the United States, each of
which contributes to the coynmon bud
get all news of national and interna-
tional interest and Importance Originate
ing In it's vicinity. besides paying Il
weekly assessment representing It's
share of the general xpens of con-
Quoting the business. and having a vote
in the election of the management. In
making up the assessments an cquit-
able system is followed. which pro-
vtdes that the heaviest tax shall fall
upon the largest newspapers. The an
nual revenues o fthe Associated Press.
derived from these assessments levied
upon it's members. amount to some So
000,0 00, while the number of words
daily received and transmitted at each
of h more important Offices is over
$4,000, or the equivalent of 35 columns
of the average newspaper.
The Associated Press serves all but
six of the morning daily newspapers

thar one-half OF the news the papers
print, and it's dispatches appear in

passing on the seaaar.

The beggar long ago discovered that
a ticket to some other place where he
can rOuble US nc more is the thing
above all others which we give with
the greatest cheerfulness to the appli-
cant for aid. AS a result an agency in
a railroad town out of. a total relief
expenditure of 5000 a year used $24O
for railroad tickets to nearby commu-
mites.
The officials of neighboring places
returned the compliment. All were
busily giving transportation to meet
the demand which they themselves had
created by passing on" the procession
Of charity rate travellers. What else
could they do?" Surely something bet
ter than this.
I've 400 public and private agencies
refuse to buy railroad tickets for appli-
cants except straight through to desti-
nation. and then only to those who will
be better off there.
The adoption Of this rule in one city
for railway tickets. How badly some
sane method of regulating the evil Of
passing on Is nee!ed. is shown by an
instance given by Mary Z. Richmond
in The Survey.
"a feeble minded woman. young and
good looking. applied to the county Of
flcials of a western state. saying that
she came from Kansas. The county
promptly sent her to another county.
which as promptly sen her back again.
Weeping and in great distress, she was
sent again and was afain returned,
this second time in the custody Of the
county clerk. Such contests are not un-
known over the insane"
