MAKING THINGS scARcER

The price of meat has been going steadily upward for some years The soaring has been accompanied by the phenomenon of combination among the great packers which is commonly known the BEEF TRUST.
 During all these years the packers assisted by various conHding less innocent persons and agencies publicity have accounted the higher of meat in many pretty stories which variations of single theme The crop fails sometimes, the present story
 Or the population increases faster than the produc ton of cattle
 Or the scarcity of cattle is due to the killing of the hefers
 It always appears these stories that the price beef is regulated by SUPPLY AND DEMAND, and that the increased cost of steak is due to under production
 It pretty method and attractive because the facts that presented, true enough
 The production of beef has kept pace with pop- iation. Corn is higher than usual But WHY IS BEEF |SCARCER?
 There is land enough. There farmers enough to raise the beef, if they do it at profit Why don't they do it?
 One of the curses of monopoly is that it seldom operate effectively without limiting production
 This is what the beef trust does This is what most of the other trusts do, or try to do.
 It is easy to limit production if the trust is powerful 1t is what the trusts do and have done for years
 Take any given locality where the farmers are rais ing generous number of cattle at living profit The beef trust is the only convenient buyer Suddenly the trust depresses the price until the farmer gets profit Next year hundreds of farmers raise cattle They try so1nething else Cattle have become The city real but the of the scarcity is artificial The greed and dominant power of the beef trust the

PLUNGE OF THE TARIFF TRUSTS
 (NeW Haven Union.)

Face to face with the realization 1 that Democratic administration Is coming into power and knowing that l this will mean the end of the tariff protection privilege under which they have plundered> the people for nearly a score of years, the tariff trusts are going to take one final gouge into the
 pocketbooks of the people before they
 are pushed away from the troughs of special privilege at which they have grown fat.
 The leather trust, which is largely owned by the beef barons has an-
 nounced that the price of leather is to increase 20 per cent. This increase is
 attributed to the greater demands of
 the automobile manufacturers for
 leather This demand is no greater now than it has been for the last
 three or four years, and those who are familiar with trade conditions say
 the excuse given by the trust is only subterfuge. The increase will mean another boost in the price of shoes, which will mean that hundreds of thousands of people, especially women and children, who are unable to pay more than they are now paying, will have to use a cheaper quality of foot wear.
 The cloth manufacturers = which means the woolen trust-also have an- nounced an increase in the prices of cloth for fall and winter deliveries. The price of WooIen cloth, it is an- nounced, will go up all the way from five to 20 cents a yard. This increase is made necessary, the trust managers say, by the wool shortage here and abroad, and by the increased cost of labor
 It will be realized that immediately after the Lawrence Mass, strike last winter the woolen trust announced an increase of 15 per cent. in it's products. The excuse was that this had to be made in order to meet the demands or the workers. The mill men, women and children who had been working for $5, $6 and $7 week were granted meant only few cents additional each week to them, and to meet this in crease the price of cloth was boosted 15 per. cent. In this way the wool trust owners were able to make the consumers pay, not only the increased cost of labor, but all the expenses of the strike as well, so that dividends, far from being, less on account of the strike, were actually greater as re- suit thereof.
 Both of these announced increases are purely arbitrary. There isn't the slightest excuse for an increase in the price of either leather or clothing, and the only excuse for either is the inordinate greed of the trust owners. These men know that after next year they will have to climb down from their high perch, from where they have been directing their wholesale robbery of the people and for. that reason they are preparing to get the last dollar possible for themselves be- fore their special privilege graft comes fo an end

CATERING TO STEEL.

These are busy and distressing days for President Taft.
 In this. hot weather the doings of both the National Senate and House have raised the Presidents tempera- ture to a degree that is anything but comfortable.
 The good natured President is not made of the mettle equal to the crisis.
 His spirit seems willing to do the right thing by the people of his coun- try. but his flesh is weak and he is modest1y flesh of a kind that cannot withstand the pressure of his interest ed associates.
 The House and the Senate are pass ing Bills of great value to the coun- try-"the Steel and Iron Tariff Bill,' 9 'the Cotton Tariff Bill' and many others
 The President is being presented with opportunity after opportunity to make divine amends for his approval of the vicious Payne-Aldrich Tariff Bills.
 Yet he does not grasp any of those opportunities with the force and char acter of statesman who is living in these progressive days. When he declared the Payne-Aldrich Tariff Bill which was clearly a revis- ion upward, the "best tariff bill ever passed in the United States he made declaration out of all keeping with the pledges of the platform on which he was elected and out of all keep ing with his own pledges to the peo- pie.
 Later he discovered his mistake and acknowledged thai Schedule K' was

SUCKING THE BARBER.

?, The rnachinations of the barber system long seemed hopeless. Even woman suffrage couldn't be looked to to cure the evil. Armed with a shot gun a customer might reasonably defy the shampoo. the massage, the stnge- ing. and the other multifarious atten- tions every barber insiduously per- forms after a, hair cut or a shave.
 But a Philadelphia man has called the tfbltiff.'' If he is not spirited away some dark night and the awful ven geance administered of making him undergo everything in the tonsorial repertoire we hope some good may come from his notable fight against the inevitable.
 This gentleman wanted haircut. He got 1t. But he became droWsy and before he awoke to the situation he had acquired a shave, a shampoo and sundry zephyrous perfumes of pene- trating odor exuded from his hirsItt crop.
 The bill was SIPS. The gentleman had come with 8 quarter with the fool hardy but admirable determination te procure a hair cut alone. The cashier collected his gold watch as collatera and now the customer is suing the barber for larceny.
 Our sympathies-well, that's obvious

 The Northwestern was to have picked these people up on her last trip but the wind was blowing so hard that no landing was made at that place.
