Increasing Packer Chicago and the origins of meat and the legal agreement.

The post-mortem inspection Act of 1891 and the Sherman Act of 1890 are closely linked. This link makes it clear Congress’ intent of the legislation. Both laws were products by 1880 and economic conditions reflects a deep concern about the market power of Chicago, meat packers. The interests of slaughterhouses nearby, displaced persons have been replaced by new profitable refrigerated beef, and farmers, livestock sold to the general Packer Chicago, have other small businesses and farmers fear for their livelihood for a period of structural changes in the economy.

In the few years between 1887 and 1891, was the legal basis for the vast federal government intervention in the American economy: the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887, the Sherman Act of 1890 and meat Act of 1891. [1] With these laws by the federal government has been directly linked to the regulation of rail tariffs, the legal agreement implementation and inspection and certification of food quality for consumers. This represents a clean break that so far, as a role for the federal government, this law a new mandate and sustainable for the regulation of State in a market economy.

Despite the importance of this law, the link between economic and political environment in the USA at the end of the nineteenth century, on the one hand, and the legislative history of legislation on the other hand, has not been carefully studied. Accordingly, the reasons for Congress to adopt these laws remain unclear and the two controversial. Look at the meat and the legal agreement. Although most attention in the literature focuses on meat Act 1906, made popular by the publication of Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle, the first laws of Meat Act of 1891, came fifteen years ago and production and consumption of fresh beef. But, as reported in this document, there is no evidence of a serious public health crisis with regard to the consumption of beef in time. Another was apparently in the spirit of the Congress, if the legislation in 1891. The objectives of the congress of the adoption of the Sherman Act is still controversial, because the importance of the law. Debate revolve around whether the Sherman Act was aimed at promoting competition and consumer welfare or restrict competition and protect interests.2

This paper argues that, for a better understanding of the origins of this important legislation and its economic impact soon, laws must be in the context of the extraordinary changes in the U.S. economy in the late nineteenth century. The links between laws that underlie the identification of economic and political forces behind the legislation.
