There is no secrecy about the Beef Trust. Publicity there has run riot.
We know all about the Refrigerator car, the rebate, the discriminations, the Big Stick methods, the colossal, un-Godly profits.
We know how the cattle owner is robbed when the Trust buys, and how the consumer of dressed meat is robbed when he buys.
What good does the Publicity do us?
None at all.
It makes us rage and rant, but the Trust gets our money just the same.
Have not Lawson and Russell and Ida Tarbell and Lincoln Steffens and a dozen others put the flashlight upon all these monstrous piratical combinations until the very children are familiar with the details?
Publicity?
Why, if there is anything that we have got a lavish supply of, just now, it is Publicity.
