What We Get For Our Money.

The price OF beef in primary markets is
higher today than at any other time since
the civil war.
In war times beef was costly for several
reasons, but chiefly because the money
with which it was priced was deprecated.
In 1854 it took nearly s. of paper cur
rency to buy 81 worth of beef
AT that time million of men were in
arms. The waste of life, industry and
property was tremendous. Conditions
which now in a period of profound peace,
with gold standard, produce the famine
prices of that time ought to engage the
attention of every intelligent American.
There will be disagreement as to many
phases of this problem, but some things
we know. We know that one of the
greatest OF our trusts is the Meat Trust.
We know that it is protected in all its ac-
tivitieS by an extortionate tariff We
know that has contributed literally to the
corruption funds of the party that sustains
the extortionate tariff. We know that it
was the Meat Trust that helped the Lum-
Der Trust put Lorimer over"
A nation that taxes food and enables
trusts to monopolize food must expect to
pay the bills in more ways than one. In
this case we suffer not only in pocket but
in health, in strength, in self-respect and
IN good repute. For the war prices we
pay we get some beef and an unlimited
amount Of oppression, injustice and scan
dial
