AMERICAN BEEF SOLD
CAEAPAR ABROAD

That the Beef Trust and other
trusts controlling our food supply
are enabled by the tariff wall, to
charge from 90 to 100 per cent
more to the New York consumer
than the prices that obtain in
London, is made plain from com.
parative figures obtained by the
democratic national committee.
The committee sent en- agent to
London to purchase American
made goods for the tariff cham Der
of horrors. He has sent to the
committee the prices of meats,
butter. eggs and sugar in retail
markets at London for certsin
date. On the same day. by pre-
arrangement. representatives of
the committee got prices for
similar articles in New York.
Abram l. Elkus. chairman of the
committee made the list public
Sunday.
The difference in price is partic-
ularly apparent in beef. The
London prices were obtained from
high class shops on Bedford street
and Tottenham court road. The
New York prices were averaged
from the figures of several
m"derate-priced butchers and
grocers.
"Our figures are absolutely IN
answerable." declared Mr.. Elkus.
They prove how the high tariff
multcs us at every meal"
Congressman William C. Redfield
the democratic tariff expert, in
commenting on the prices and ex-
planning them said:
THE cold facts concerning the
difference in the prices of food on
the same day in New York and
London ought to open the eyes of
avery working man: indeed, of
every consummer, but especially
those of modest means, to current
conditions. When careful house.
wife goes to market In New York,
she pays "a cents per pound for the
same roast beef that her London
sister buys at l3 cents. If she
wishes tn provide her husband
with a sirloin steak, she can only
do it by paying more than double
the price a. which on that day it is
sold in England. 1t is interesting
to note that on ham the difference
in price is almost exactly the
amount Of the duty with which we
tax that food of cents a pound,
and that the cost of eggs is lower
in Great Britain by rather more
than the duty of cents a dozen
We impose also duty on butter
and cheese of 6 cents per pound
when will our work ing people
lnarn the error of taxing their
ordinary articles Of food! 1t
would seem as if this exposition
taken under such striking con-
ditiOns and with such exact and
careful comparisons should destroy
once and for all the illusion of
prosperity rising from the tariff"

HARTMAN. ROOSEVELT
correspondence

1t is time the mask was torn off
SO that the American people may
not be deluded by loud protesta-
tions of virtue. The. investigation
is quoting Roosevelt in his proper
position, as "The Pharlsee in
politics" He :fhas been going up
and down the country thanking
God that he is not as other men,
and anyone who reads the letter
ofNovember 30, 1904, entitled My
Dear Hartman" will now agree
with him.
AS the veil is being lifted, it
becomes more and more q wonder
that the democratic party has sur
vi0ed the crusade of corruption
which it has been compelled to
meet every four years. Every
American citizen should read the
Hartman letter signed by Tnodore
Roosevelt. When a president of
the United States, representing the
entire people. is compelled to write
in tones of appeal and apology to
the head of a great railway trust
it is easy to understand how these
special interests have been able to
dominate legislative and executive
action.
my Dear Hartman was only
one Of hundreds. who, if they did
not receive like letters, at least
exercised like influence with the
executive. 1t we'll illustrates the
fact that if you know who is sup
porting man yon',can tell what he
stands for. When the Harrimans,
the Rockefellers, the; Morgans. the
Perkinses, the Guggtnheims, the
Penroses and the hundreds Of
other trust magnates are backing a
man for the presidency, you can
tell whom that man will represent
if elected. So this year, as
Perkins manages Roosayelt's cam
paign. 1t is easy to tell who will
dominate his administration and
when we find all of the great
projected interests ano the tru SITS
and combinations supporting Taft
or Roosevelt, we know he will be
taken care Of when the time comes.
Will the farmers and the laborer*
and the indepe ,feDt bu lines men
Uf the country continue tn join
with the forces of monopoly to

who bend their backs in toll want
to see every dollar spent at the end

their families. continue to Join

wonderful hypnotist comes to Atlanta at
the height Of his success Since ne was
seen here Ave years ago, he has assembled
the ladder of fame and today stands
crowned as the emperor of all scientific
entertainment. Pauline does not claim
to be supernatural. He simply claims an
art that has been mastered by others
but an art which he seems to control
better than some of his brothers. He has
been Tremendous success in every city
in the world, and here in Atlanta it is
predicted that he will eclipse some Of
the great hits of the season. His control
is based upon the old adage of mind over
matter, and with willing subjects, presents
IN entertainment that would be irnpossi-
ole TO otherwise create.

interest because of the fact that the other
six acts embrace nearly every depart
nent Of acceptable vaudeville For the

duction to Atlanta audiences of James

one of those unotious comedians. clever
and original, versatile to a degree His
partner, Miss Nelson. is one of vaude-
vtlle's genuinely charming women, and
their act Something New, promises to
be a revelation because OF its originality.
The exposition -Four lately returned
from abroad, will present what is con
coded to be the best quartet act in the
vaudeville aeld These four comedians
have set the pace for other auartets' and
have created more genuine interest in
vaudeville than any other quartet in the
profession.
This bill will also serve to introduce a
clever Young entertainer, Dave Ferguson
who is known as the "storistts comedian.
This Young man has graduated from the
Lycsum stage TO vaudeville and has met
with tremendous success,
