TH E CORNER TN BEEF
There hns been a very lame advance
In the price of beef tn all Ithe markets
onturolit’d t\y the great Si audlrterlng
eSiablMmienla of the West. There has
also been -in ;i.1 y in*'.* iiv a*ie price of
laeef cinhtje, but one not at all corre-
epomling with that in the price of the
dressed meat. Growing out of '.ti. s dis
crepancy Is a belief that n combination

hoof invoking cstabtishnients to curnct
ttie roirknt and make same mlH -ns of

lowing an.y considerable aarotlt to the

advance 1n price was to be expected
from the timlisi»utol riiorttoge in tho
supply of oi.tlllc, hut the Shortage which
made this advance powiifle also offered

THE BAN KERR AND POLITIOB.

polities of any orsMnlaitton made up
of o ber classes of business cion, or of

mon who deal In money, whose life Is
glvtm up to the study of tho subject of
money, who ore presumably bolter in
formed than other members of Rio com
munity as to whftt is a safe financial
policy, be excluded entirely from poli
ties, and especially from tho politics
tbit denis with financial questions?
Is rihoulil not ho forgotten, we think,
(fiat the bankers of the country nre
the langeat debtors, as well os the
largest creditors. They arc no more in
terested in ihe preservation of a sound
currency than other citizens. If we go
to tho silver standard and they ore
obliged ito receive stiver !n settlement
of digi ts due .them, they will also be
able to pay the debts which they
owe to silver. In the main, topy are
merely intermediaries between people
who lend money and those who borrow
It, nnid the attempt to excite prejudice
alga trust thorn can only do hnirm to those
who have money to lend and to those
who are obliged to borrow.
