io days freetbm aJtssiai tuy want ifc-
r ever heard of, write for oarfrtoiwa Bleyete Calalae. This raid On the trea8UrV Is made by
Addrea., SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., CHICAGO, senator Hanna and his accomplices
under the pretence that its purpose is
to "build up tho American merchant
marine."
Experience in our own and other
countries goes to show that tho mer
chant marine cannot be built up by
the bounty system.
But even if it be true that, with the
United States treasury to draw on
without limit, ships can be multiplied,
why should these ships be owned by
private persons?
If the public is to pay for the ships,
why shouldn't tho public own them?
Mr. Hanna will be horrified at the
suggestion. To his enlightened and
conservative mind, government-owned
merchant ships would mean "social
ism." But it is not socialism, in Mr. Han
na's view, to buy ships with the peo
ple's money and then give them to his
friends.
And he is right. That is not social
ism. It is robbery.
There is every indication that in
spite of the thorough exposure made
of this ship subsidy outrage by tho
democratic senators, it will be passed
by the republican congress.
Every wage-earner in the United
States will be taxed to supply the
millions bestowed under the bill upon
such deserving objects of charity as
J. Pierpont Morgan.
The wage earners of the United
States number about fifteen million
men, women, and boys and girls of
ten years of age and over. Their aver
age earnings are $400 a year, and on
tho average each wage-earner sup
ports two dependents. That is to say,
three persons must live on $33.33 a
month. About a quarter of the work
ingman's wages goes for rent and
about half for food and fuel. That
leaves him about $8.30 a month for
clothing, medicine, recreation and a
savings bank account.
Professor Robert E. Ely, secretary of
the League for Political Education, in
considering these figures, taken from
the federal census, justly says that
"the terms of our economic problem
cannot be solved by thrift alone"
meaning that the poor in the mass
cannot lift themselves out of poverty
by saving, since on the average they
don't earn enough to enable them to
save anything.
And yet this republican congress,
led by Mr. Hanna, who lately has been
aiming to figure as a special friend of
tho workingman, proposes to take the
scarce pennies from tho pockets of
the working men, women and chil
dren and put them, to the amount of
many millions of dollars, into the
pockets of a few men who are in the
transportation business men for tho
most part already enormously rich.
It is a scheme of pillage at which
tho whole country would rise in indig
nant astonishment had not the whole
country become used under the protec
tive system to seeing everything taxed

The Beef Trust.
Tho Kansas City Journal, a repub
lican newspaper, in its Issuo of April
16, contained an article relating to tlw
exactions of tho beef trust, from which
article the following facta and flguros
aro taken:
'On year ago export steers sold in
tho Kansas City market for from $5.15
to $5.40 per 100 pounds; yesterday they
sold froin $6.75 to $7. A year ago
cows sold for $4.3S to $4.65; yesterday
they brought from $4.75 to $5.25. Hogs
were selling a year ago for from $6
to $6.12; yesterday they sold for from
$6.76 to $7.15.
Theso are the rises which havo taken
place in an entire year. DURING THE
SAME TIME THE BEEF TRUST HAS
RAISED THE WHOLESALE PRICE
OP BEEF FROM ABOUT $6.50 PER
100 POUNDS TO $10.50 PER 100
POUNDS, AND HAS INCREASED
THE PRICES OF ALL ITS OTHER
PJIODUCTS PROVISIONS OF ALL
KINDS. INCLUDED PROPORTION
ATELY. While the amount It has had to -nav
for beef steers has increased from $1.40
to $1.60 per 100 pounds, IT HAS
RAISED THE PRICE OF BEEF $4
PER 100 POUNDiS. It has increased
tho price of beef from $7.25 per 100
pounds to $10.50 per 100 pounds since
the latter part of February. During
the same time tho price of tfeef
steers in tho Kansas City market has
Increased from $5.60 to $7, tho latter
of which figures was the top price yes
terday.. While the price of beef
steers has been Increased only $1.40
per j.00 pounds, tho beef, trust instead
of bearing its fair share of tho bur
den Imposed upon the whole people,
haB increased the wholesale price of
beef to tho butchers of Kansas City
$3.25 per 100 pounds. It appears, there
fore, that ther packers have increased
prices a great deal mbrd rapidly than
tho condition of tho market has justi
fied. There IS still A FURTHER CIR
CUMSTANCE to be taken into consid
eration in drawing an indictment
against tho beef trust. This is tho
fact that last summer and fall, when
thousands upon thousands of head of
all kinds of live stock were being
rushed Into tho Kansas City market,
they were buying It at very low prices,
AND STORING IT AWAY IN THEIR
REFRIGERATORS. They have since
been able to take out this refrigera
tor meat and place it upon the market
AT THE SAME PRICE THAT MEAT
MORE RECENTLY KILLED BRINGjS,
AND HAVE TPIUS MADE IMMENSE
PROFITS UPON THE TRANSAC
TION. These largo quantities in their
refrigerators would havo held down
prices to a certain extent IF THE
TRUST HAD NOT BEEN BENT
UPON MAKING MORE THAN A
FAIR PROFIT.
In considering, the packers' profits,
the fact must never be forgotten either
that they are able to UTILIZE EVERY
TART OF THE ANIMAL. It is esti
mated that It costs about $9.60 or $10
per 100 pounds to "dress out" a steer
that cost yesterday's top price in this
market $7. This is a liberal estimate.
By this it is meant that the packer ex
pends $9.50 or $10 per 100 pounds in
buying tho animal and preparing all
its good parts for market. But In
this estimate is not counted the liver,
horns, bones, hides, etc. Both hearts
and liver, which wero formerly given
away, are now being sold to tho butch
ers for 6 and 8 cents per pound, res
pectively. Tho bones are converted
into fertilizer. Hides sell for $6 per
100 pounds. The horns are sold to
be made into knife handles and many
other articles. Upon the above cal
culation, therefore, the packer, at pres
ent prices, Is making from 50 cents
to $1 upon every 100 pounds of beif
that he "dresses out," and has the re
ceipts from the offal besides to add to
his concern's dividends.
