STARTLING INCREASES
IN FOOD PRICES SHOWN
BY FEDERAL REPORT
WASHINGTON. June 7.—Following
an exhaustive investigation of the in
creased cost of living the department of
commerce is about to lay bare a series
of the most startling facts on the sub
ject ever placed before the American
public.
In this i eport it is shown that during
the last ten years the wholesale prices
of all meats have increased from 25 to
100 per cent. It was in this period that
the beef trust established its malevolent
domination over the meat food prod
ucts of the entire United States.
In the same period the wholesale
prices for poultry have increased more
than 33 1-3 per cent, while eggs, which
in 1890 sold wholesale at the remuner
ative price of 17 cents per dozen, were
in December. 1911, sold at the arbitrary
price of 49 cents per dozen.
In 1896 Elgin butter sold at. 18 cents
per pound. In December of last year it
reached the unprecedented price of 36
cents per pound.
Considered in connection with a bul
letin Issued by the department of com
merce and labor only a few days ago
presenting facts to show that not since
1907 have fond animals been so plenti
ful as now, the Indictment of the beef
trust is complete.
Poor Man Hit Hardest.
It is shown by the report that follow
ing the example of their big brother
from Chicago, by whom many of them
are controlled, the great corporations
which held the balance of the poor
men’s breakfast in their hands have in
creased their *toll in proportion.
So startling are the facts contained in
this report that they will in a large
measure be used by Attorney General
Wickersham as a basis for his new ac
tion against the beef trust. In this
suit Mr. Wickersham will demand that
this trust, designated by former Attor
ney General Moody as "the meanest
aggregation of capital in the world," be
dissolved.
In making this investigation which
covers a period of 22 years, agents of
the department visited practically every
packing establishment, and every groat
source of other food supply in the Unit
ed States.
As the pric*s presented ere those at
which food commodities are sold whole
sale, the increased cost of living as pre
sented can not be laid to the avarice or
greed of the retailer.
In collecting their information inves
tigators began W'ith the year 1890, at
about which time combinations of capi
tal began to reach out after the poor
man’s food supply. December, 1911, is
the last m’onth mentioned in the report.
Since that time the price of meat has
steadily Increased.
Officials of the department merely
present an array of figures and allow
them to prove the facts
Beef Prices a Record.
The wholesale price of New York
beef, regarded by the bureau experts as
the best native beef, has seen a gradual
rise with inconsequential fluctuations
from 7 4-5 cents a pound th 19116. The
final month Included In the report In
January, 1911. New York beef cost the
retailer 9 3-5 cents a pound. Eight
months later, or in August, it went to
in 1-5 cents, and remained at that price
until December, when It rose 1-20 of a
cent to the record mark for the 22-year
period.
The most remarkable Jump In prices
occurred in the market in 1897. Pork
sold at $8 90 a barrel, the low water fig
ure for th* 22 years. .In 1910 pork rose
to $23.73 a barrel, the rise for the thir.
teen’fs’. with’Severn r mirror fluetiia -
tions, being gradual. In January, 1911,
the price was quoted as $22.47. It rose
to $22.75 in February, and then began

fThe Perfect Shortening
Five pounds of Snowdrift will go as far
as six and two-thirds pounds of butter or hog
lard.
Snowdrift is more healthful than hog
lard. It is refined by our famous Wesson
Process, which no other manufacturer can
use. Without this process, Snowdrift would

a gradual decline until it reached
$17.56.
In 1890 Western salt beef could be
had from the wholesaler at $lB per
barrel. By December, 1911, it had
jumper! to S3O per barrel.
Short rib sides nf bacon, the cheap
est m»at listed, cost least In 1896, when
the price dropped tn 4 7-10 cents a
pound Its maximum wholesale price
was in 1910, when the price went to
12 9-10 cents a pound. Throughout 1911
the price hovered between 11 cents and
8 1-2 cents in January and August, re
spectively. A gradual decline followed
du: Ing the last six months of 1911 and
continued until the jump in price reg
istered during the present year.
Rise and Fall of Mutton.
Mutton has been more consistent in
its rise and fall than any other class of
meat. Its lowest price was reached in
1894 at a fraction over 6 cents a pound.
Ten cents was its highest figure In 19V;
and during the last year it has fluc
tuated between 7 cents In January to
8 7-10 cents in May.
Lard, hides and tallow, three other
beef trust, products, kept pace In high
prices with the meats. Hides, from
which the poor man’s shoes are made,
reached their maximum wholesale cost
in December. 1911, the final month nf
the report, when dealers demanded
16 1-2 cents per pound. Compared with
their lowest wholesale price, 6 2-5 cents
a pound in 1894, hides now cost two and
a half times as much as they did eight
een years ago.
Bread Aviated, Too.
The poor man’s loaf of bread kept
lockstep with the price of his meat/ In
1899 the wholesale cost of a barrel of
flour, as shown by the report, was
$3.77. It went to $4.33 in 1903, $5 in
1908 and $6.49 in 1909. The price re
mained practically stationary through
the years 1910 and 1911. Rye flour rose
from $2.78 a barrel in 1894 to $4.34 in
1904. an<i then Jumped to $4.85 in De
cember, 1911.
Eggs were sold by wholesale estab
lishments for 17 cents a dozen in 1897.
Year by year the price rose until It
reached 20 cents in 1901. 26 cents in 1905
and 30 cents in January, 1911. From
these figures the wholesale cost of a
dozen eggs leaped to 47 cents in De
cember of last year.
In conclusion, the report says:
"The average wholesale price for 257
commodities during 1911 was 17 p»r
cent higher than the average wholesale
price of the same commodities in 1900,
44 per cent higher than the prices of
1897 and 29 per cent higher than lite
prices for the ten-year period preced
ing 1890 "

SEVEN YEARS
OF MISERY
How Mrs. Bethune was Re
stored to Health by Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegeta
ble Compound.
Sikeston. Mo. “For seven years I
suffered everything. I was in bed for
four or five days at a
time every month, !
and so weak I could
hardly walk. I had
cramps, backache
and headache, and
was so nervous and
weak that I dreaded
to see anyone or
have anyone move in
the room. The doc
i tors gave me medi
cine to ease me at
,JTj
those times, and said that I ought to
have an operation. I would not listen to
that, and when a friend of my husband’s
told him about Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg
etable Compound and what it had done
for his wife, I was willing to take it
Now I look the picture of health and fee)
like it, too. I can do all my own house
work, work in the garden and entertain
company and enjoy them, and can walk
as far as any ordinary woman, any day
in the week. I wish I could talk to every
suffering woman and girl, and tell them
what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound has done for me.’’—Mrs.
Dema Bethune, Sikeston, Mo.
Remember, the remedy which did this
was Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound.
It has helped thousands of women who
have been troubled with displacements,
inflammation, ulceration, tumors, irreg
ularities, periodic pains, backache, that
bearing down feeling, indigestion, and
nervous prostration, after all other means
have failed. Why don’t you try it?
