BEEF TRUST.
The report of commissioner Gar'
fleld to President Roosevelt that the
beer trust is not a trust, shows that
this embryo politician has inherited
some of the credit mobUier character
istics of his pa. If the report had ben
prepared and written by the beef trust
mag-nates it could not have been more
favorable to the trusts nor so replete
with wilful misrepresentations. The
statement that the beef trust Is a thing
of beauty and Joy forever, and is a ne
cessary adjunct to the necessities of
the country does not coincide with the
recent decision of the supreme court
Of the United States. Even the federal
grand Jury which is investigating the
business methods of the trust in Chi
cago, refuses to believe Commissioner
Garfield, as his statements are so far
from the truth to have any weight
with a Jury.
Of course Garfield held a fiduciary
position with the beef trust, and the
amount Ke received for subscribing his
name to the report inspired by the
beef graft magnates will probably
never be known, as secrets between
attorney and cllnet are ' considered
privileged in courts of law and no one
occupying this position can be- com
pelled to divulge the secrets of his ell
ent There ought to be more in it
than in the salary allowed by the gov
eminent, and it Is eaah in advance.
while a person holding an official posl
tion with the government has to wait
from one to three months for his stl
. pend.
Those who are compelled to buy beef
at the local markets will be compelled
to take issue with Commissioner Gar
fleld. When farmers only receive 2H
cents for beef and the round Is sold
for a bit a pound, and the tail goes
with the hide, it will be difficult to
make the average consumer believe
that there is only 80 cents profit in a
beer for wnich the beef trust pays
$48.75. In the first place the beef
trust does not pay that amount, nor
one half of it for a beef. A large per
centage of the beef put up at the Chi
cago packing houses has to be em
calmed as it is in the last stages ot
decomposition. Tnls is put In cans
and sold to people who go on picnics
and excursions, where there Is plenty
f fresh air to offset the odor emitted
by the canned beef.
As a result of the rotten meat em
Daimed by tne beer trust, there are
85,000 Spanish war pensioners being
supported by the government, a large
majority of the ailments having been
produced by eating embalmed beef for
which the government paid at the rate
of $145.25 per cow and paid for some
of it twice. If the beef trust made
$3,000,000 net profit last year, they
would have to have slaughtered every
cow, bull and steer In the world twice
over in order to make this Immense
profit, according to the estimated pro
fits submitted by Mr. Garfield.
The; report of Commissioner Gar
field is tainted with the odor of em
baimed beef augmented with a pletho
ric abundance of the profits accruing
to the beef trust. It reads like a silly
boy's essay on cows, and will prob
ably have as much weight with the
government Of course the price paid
for the report will diminish the profits
, to a certain extent, but there Is very
little likelihood of the beef trust filing
a petition in bankruptcy. All that will
be necessary will be to put up the
price of beef another notch or two un
til another commissioner Is appointed
to investigate the beef trust
San Francisco, representing the Over
land Monthly, an obscure publication
which Is on Its last legs, but aeea an
opportunity by doing the advertising
stunt, in getting out a special edition
In which Astoria Is to receive a pie
toral wrlteup for about $500. If any
of the Astoria people did their trading

home merchants who advocate patron

believed, and an outside publication
