(By Herbert A. Emerson.)
Present food prices are not
justified by the law of supply
and demand, but have been
reached only through systematic
and well contrived plans by food
extortioners, manipulators, spec-
ulators. market-riggers and trad-
ers.
The Board of Trade is simply
an instrument used by unscrup-
ulous dealers.

On account of the extreme
price that has been paid for a
certain part of the surplus to go
abroad, we find the people of the
United States are being charged
for all the grain that is consum-
ed at home on a basis of the very ty
highest point reached fpr grain ’
to go abroad.
In the meat industry we find
a similar condition. During the
