A. a Thcbstat MoKjraro, Apbtx 10, AHOTHXRBBNEFICiri" ; j TRUST. The Beef Trust, which is com posed of the leading packers of the Went, has recently pat up the price of meats, of beef in particular until they hare gone practically beyond the reach of the laboring man. The New York Herald, which has undertaken the task of exposing, this combine and the methods by which it robs the people, is doing a commendable work whether it results in calling the Trust to taw or not, which it probably will not. It has secured fac similes of corres pondence between the agents of the respective members of the Trust in New York and the firms they represent which, show how they work together to keep prices up and regulate the market as to supply and demand and at the same time how the Trust is violating the law against "combinations in restraint of trade. According to the Herald the local agents regulate the amount of ship ments to each principal market or distributing1 point, and each of the members of the Trust ships its pro portionate part of the total amount. They ship in accordance with the demand. If the demand fluctuate and fall each one of the combine is notified and reduces shipments ac cordingly, thus keeping up prices The retail dealers, butchers and others have nothing to do with mat ing prices, for their prices are and must be governed by the prices they pay the Trust for the meats they get from it. As the Meat Trust practi cally controls the supply of meat of ' course it has both the public and the retail dealer in its power, and it makes the prices to suit itself and high enough to gi?e it an enormous profit on the business it does, amounting to about $600,000,000 year.- So far it advanced the price of meats about three cants a pound over last year, as shown by thefol lowing quotations of prices given by the Herald : Wholesale prices: 180L 1902. " Lb. L. Dressed beef 6ts. 9 Lamb 8c llc Milton 8c. Hi: Veal 8a. 13 i Pork 6c. 9c Be tail prices: 190L 1992 Lb. Lb. Sirloin steak 1 Sc. 20c. Porterhouse steak.... 20c. 22i Round steak 16c. 18c. Mutton... 12s. 14c. Lamb 12c. 15c. Of course the agents and spokes men for the members of the Trust give reasons for the advance in prices this year, as they do in all years when - they put prices up. The reasons given for the advance this year are the scarcity of cattle and the high price of corn. They don't say any thing about the scarcity of sheep or hogs, but the price has been ad vanced on these as well as on beef. Fat white sides, which used to sell a about six or seven cents a pound, now costs about as much retail as a good quality of fresh beef does. It may be, and perhaps is the case, that the short crop of corn has resulted in the fattening of a smaller number of cattle and hogs' for slaughter, hut that does not materially affect the members of this Trust, for they make the prices on the animals they buy for slaughter as well as on the meat they pnt npon the market. They are dictators at both ends at the buying and the sell ing ends By an understand ing, among themselves they control the selling market in central points to which cattle, hogs, Ac, are brought for sale, and on the ranches, too. They do not hid against each other, but if ah independent buyer enters the field they combine against him, raise the price and keep it up until they drive him out of the field, when they let ' the price drop and keep it down until some other buyer ventures to enter wbon they again play the same freeze out tactics. We do not know what the prices of cattle, hogs, &c, were the past winter, or are now, but they rarely go above five or six cents a pound, and are of tener under than over that. Whatever the price they pay (and they do not pay any more than enough to make it. worth while for stock raisers to ship to market) they always have a large margin for profit without any extraordinary advance in prices. They can pay a higher price lot live stock than the ordinary butcher can, and can sell it at the same price and make more money thaifTiecan- because they have the1 business reduced to such a system that they utilize the entire animal from horn to hoof, or from tooth to tail, and make a profit out of it. There is absolutely no waste or re fuse; even the offal finds a place in the fertilizer department. . This is one of the advantages of the large capital invested; it en ables the establishment of plants to turn everything about the animal to account and permit no waste whatever. The probabilities are that they make almost as much out of the by-products as they do out of the meat, and this being so there tew excuse or justification for praonoing extortion in the the sale of their meats , and robbing the people as they do. If it was only the rich or well-to-do they extorted from that would be bad enough, for there is no ex- cuse for conscienceless greed, no matter upon whom practiced, but when such extortion practically means depriving the poor of meat it is ontrageous. At such prioes as the Herald quotes, if the ordinary wa?e earner buys meat for his 7 family it is the coarser and less de sirable parts which people who can afford to buy a better, quality would not have at any price.. The American people have been the best fed people in the world, and they eat upon the average about twice as much meat as the most lib eral meat eaters in the world, and to this, in a measure, is attributed their suDenor nhvsique. their ac tivity and their ability: to accom pliah more than other people whose meat supplies are limited. Whether there be anything in this or not we do not know, but one thing is cer tain.; and that is, that if the Trusts continue to run the meat market as they have been running it for' the past few years and keep raising the prices, the average American will cease to be distin guished as a greater meat consumer than 1 the average citizen of other countries. The Trust will starve him out as far as meat goes. A VEST CLXTXS SPEECH. i . President Roosevelt's speech at Charleston yesterday was a clever, broad-minded, patriotic utterance, splendidly conceived and happily phrased. It breathed a generous, broad, national spirit, creditable to the man, to the place and to the oc casion. It was, as indicated by his b-ief address to the students of the University of Virginia, at Charlotts ville, when he passed through that town on his way to Charleston, framed on the lines that his deceas ed predecessor, McKinley, followed in his addresses to the people he ad dressed on his Southern tours, but was more ardently and vigorously phrased. No man could have paid, within the same space, a more gib' ing tribute to . Southern patriotism and valor than he did when speaking of the heroic achievements of the men who dared and suffered and fought for the South in the war between the States, which he calls not the "rebellion," as some who differ from those fighters do, but the "Civil War" "incomparably the greatest of modern times." We quote a part of it, which will give some idea of its broad, generous scope. After expressing his appreciation of the "delicate and thoughtful courtesy" that invited him to Charleston "on the birthday of Abraham Lincoln," which "showed a fine generosity and manliness," "but also emphasized as hardly anything else could have empha sized how completely we are now a united people," he continued: "The wounds left by the great Civil war, incomparably the greatest war of modern times, have healed ; and its memories are now priceless heritages of honor alike to the North and to the 8outh. The devotion, the self-sacri fice, the steadfast resolution and lofty daring, the high devotion to the right as each man saw it, whether North erner or Southerner all these quali ties of the men ' and women . or the early sixties now shine luminous and brilliant before our eyes, while the mists of anger and hatred that once dimmed them have passed away for ever. "All of us. North and South, can glory alike in the valor of the men who wore the blue and of the men who wore the gray. Those were iron times, and only iron men could fight to its terrible finish the giant struggle between the hosts of Grant and Lee. To us of the present day. and to our children and children's children. th vauant aeeos. tne men endeavor, and abnegation of self shown in that strug gle by those who took part therein will remain for evermore to mark the level to which we in our iura 'matt rise whenever the hour of the nation's need may coma." Assuming that he was sincere in this (and we will not do him the discredit to think that he was not) what handsomer tribute could be paid to the devotion of the Southern people, or to the matchless valor of the Southern soldier? In thus hon oring them, President Roosevelt honored himself. Mr. Wade H. Harris, who has done some splendid work in that line, has excelled his previous ef forts in his "Sketches of Cnarlotte" forl9t)2, just issued. It is a fine production in every respect, copi ously and handsomely illustrated, and gives the reader, in condensed form, a vast amount of information about Mecklenburg county and its resources, and about the progress and varied industries of the hustling city of Charlotte. 5 Now they are accusing Marconi of stealing his wireless telegraphy ideas from an Englishman named Lodge, who struck on it in 1894, before Marconi; or that German,' Labby, thought of it.

PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND Defeats the Work ef Death by Removing Tour Terrible Burden of Disease. Are you still in suffering, misery. and despondency t Does the grim pectre Death follow you closely as the joyous springtime brings happi ness and blessings to others around yout Are you still euoginff tena ciously to false theories of physicians or friends who persist in assuring you that time, care, and the use of your present medicine will give you health! Be assured your present condition is perilous one. The continuance of the medicine you are now using is a folly; you are simply trifling with life ana wasting precious urns. Ton should remember in at wnne nature clothes the fields with fresh arrass and flowers, and while the trees I with a strong life are showing burst- ing buds ana new foliage, that human being old and young drop on in thousands in springtime. Now is the time for prompt, decided. and practical action if life is to be saved. Prejudice and the erroneous theories of even medical men should be cast aside when the hand of death is upon you. It matters not what your social position be: the medicine that saves the humblest man or woman is surely the one adapted for the needs of the rich and those in high social posi tions. Paine's Celery Compound has a re cord of life saving that no other medi cine can ever eq ial. It has rescued rich and poor from the grasp of death when physicians and their most care fully prepared prescriotioas failed in the work. If the suffering men and wr man of to-day could but tee the happy faces andhear the kind words spoken by the tens of thousands who have beea made well and strong by Paine's Oelery Compound, it would soon dispel their existing doubts and rears. Paine's Celery Compound is the only medicine that reaches the root of disease; it is the only agency that can remove your terrible load of disease. Unsolicited testimonial of cures pour in every day. xouog and old con stantly bar witness that rheumatism. neuralgia, kidney disease, liver com plaint, dyspepsia, and blood diseases are baniabed permanently when Paine's Oelery Compound is faithfully used for a time oegia Its use to-day poor sufferer; dAiats are dangerous Always Ask for Diamond Dies TAKK NO QTHKU WALLER VEE8US SMITH. Gen. Smith, in command on the island of Samar, testified in the Waller court-martial case a few days ago. and stated that ha did not give Waller orders authorizing him to execute people without trial, the scope of his testimony being to throw the whole responsibility for the eleven men who were executed by Major Waller on him. The next day (Tuesdav) Waller testified in his own defence and swore that he not only received such orders from Gen. Smith, but orders that were so bru tal and heartless that he would not obey them. When he asked Gen. Smith what the age limit should be in this plan of extermination he swore that Smith said, "Kill all above ten years of age, and make Samar a howling wilderness I " Major Waller didn't do that; he only exe cuted eleven fellows who fell into his hands executed them with, as al leged, some improvised tortures, to make their sending off more dra matic and impressive on the other brown fellows who heard of it. It is not likely that many lingered around to witness the performance. Waller's friends account for the improvised features of torture, if true, on the assumption that his mind was unbalanced by the ordeal of hardships through which he had passed in that march across Samar, but he justifies the execution with the assertion that these executed men were guilty of treachery and other atrocites, which were deserv ing of death, without any particu lar formality, and his authority for the killing he claims to have had in the sweeping and imperative instruc tions by General Smith. There is a decided conflict here in the testimony of these men pa rading in U. S, uniforms, and both are seemingly anxious to escape the odium of their savagery by throwing it upon the other. There ia tne much for either and more than both can carry. Bat assuming that either tells the truth what a shameful and horrible illustration of "benevolent assimilation."

The cotton market opened steady in tone witb prices one to three points higher, and for a brief time gave no indication of making startling turns in either di rection. The Liverpool cables were a . a 1 1 ji . 1 H.n.i.J w... I "ine oetter iuhu c&iicuicu, uut purt re- I ceipts were liberal and speculative I support was comparatively light. It I was I not until 10:30 that positive Sir 60 I strength developed, but for the bal 1 S I ance of the session tbe market exhib ited a very strong unaerione witn shorts excited buyers. All offerings were eagerly absorbed b? arbi trage houses, local export firms, commission houses and room traders, wbo were urged to this course by very bull sh late Liverpool cables and re markably firm advices from Southern spot markets.) Private wires stated tbat preparations for the new crop were very backward, fertilizer sales were below the average, a decrease in acreage was likely and tbat exporters were picking up every bale offered at prices 1-16 to ic above the quotations of last night. Then came a very light estimate for to-morrow's Houston's re ceipts and a sudden jump in prices In tbe New Orleans market. Of ferings by local "reactionists" were quickly withdrawn in the local pit A wave of heavy general buyiDg set in and only receded when May reached 9 08; July 9 08, and August 8 88 Even then but a few points reaction followed, with the close firm and. net five to fourteen points higher. The New Orleans estimate for to-morrow's receipts was large, but failed to in any measure check the upward rush of prices. Wall street was a large buyer of August throughout the session.
