THE MIDDLEmEN's HIGH TOLL

William Hope a South American cattle and wheat
king from Buenos Aires, asks two pertinent questions
The first why do the Britons who ship their wheat from
America pay only cents for pound loaf of bread, while
in the greatest land of wheat, pay cents for scant
pound Loaf The second is why does the Brton pay only
cents for meat for which growers Of wheat 20
cents in part! Mr. Hope these questions himself
at least in part. His 'middlemen The beef
trust he finds tells the grower what it will pay for his pro
duct and tells the what he pay for the meat
Only the other day there appeared in these columns
from the St Paul papers the fact that farmers
receiving less for their than year and the people
are paying more at least Minnesota Our cost of
distributonof getting American meat and American wheat
to American tablesN1r Hope Declares great that
with fair entry he could ship both from Argentina and sell
cheaper the docks in New York than could from Chi
cago and he points out that Argentina does not have
pauper labor. Mr.. Hope emphasizes the fact that are
clearly the victims of the organized mddemen The chief
middleman whom he points is j. Pierpont Morgan,
organizer of the trusts In Mr.. Hopes eyes he is the en-
peror of the United States to whom all tribute Hope
positive that other ruler in the world with the possible
exception of the auocrae OF the Russians has much
power and demands much tribute 1t collected through
the necessities He well declares that such of af
fairs would--Or could --be endured in Great Britain
Mr.. Eope only more graphically states with his illus
tratons the cost of meat and bread exactly the thing
which President Yoakum of the Frisco system: Dan G
Reid of the Rock Island and Secretary Wilson, OF the
agricultural department have pointed out Mr.. Yoakum
deals in figures the bulk showing that the pay

and often only 80 cents Hope Yoakum. Reid Wilson all
agree. The taking is unarCapta News.
