Meat animals are subject to disease which impair or destroy the whole sOmeness of their meat as human food but the presence or effects of disease are not always discernible in the dressed carcass. A piece of meat may carry the germs of dangerous disease without giving any indication of this fact 10 the consumer To detect di- sease there should he an expert in spection at the time of slaughter. To protect the consumer at point where he is unable 10 protect himself is. gen erally speaking, the object Of meat inspection
 The first Federal Meat Inspection was established in this country in August, 1890, by the passage of a law providing for an inspection of meats for exportation". Primarily, therefore. meat inspection was begun in the United States not because Congress had in view the protection of the peo- pie Of this country from eating d.; seased meats, but because foreign gov ernments were opposed to allowing American meats to enter their ports for the alleged reason that the people Of those countries would suffer there from.
 About this time considerable agita. tion was going on in this country on the part of the press and individual writers. the object Of which was to expose the highly unsanitary condi- tions of the packing houses and the danger of eating meat that wasn't in spected. The result of :his was the passage of law by Congress in 1891 which provided for the inspection of all meat animals slaughtered in the United States for use in interstate commerce as well as international commerce. Thereafter. year after year, the inspection was strengthened and bettered, and on June 30, 1906. when the Pure Food and Drug Law" went into effect, our present form of meat inspection was inaugurated, and at the present time tue Federal meat inspection of the United States stands second to none
 DuA tllS NNtl sil -htdl llSUtEllOu applies only to those packing plants that engage in interstate or interna- tional traffic. Butchers who do strict ly state business without shipping or selling their product into other states are exempt. And very few states maintain an inspection of their own So butcher doing only a local busi- ness is free to kill a diseased animal and sell the meat to the public In such cases the public has absolutely no protection. SuppOsIng, such 9 butcher bought a steer for a hundred dollars and upon slaughter found that this animal was very sick with pneu monia, or tuberculosis, or some other disease, and 99 chances out of the hundred he would shrink from the idea of losing the value of this steer and would sell it to the unsuspectinG public over the block. The only way for the public to protect itself from such interruptions dealers is to main tain an inspection which has nothing in common with the butcher anG the sole interest O. wien is tc protect the
