What the arsngers Have Done.

They have broken the power and COM
binations Of the pork packers. They
started out the past fall rs they did the
fall before, to buy pork at about IS. ex-
pecting to get double the price when they
sold, AS they did last year--but the gran
gers were too sharp for them this time.
They said, rather than sell at these low
prices, we will pack our own pork. So
all over the west, the grangers combined.
determined to pack unless they could get
what their pork was honestly worth.
Pork came in slow. not fast enough to
meet the demands Of packers, The
grangers went to putting up their own
pork. The packers became alarmed, and
thought they had better make smaller
profits, and SO commenced offering high
or prices. The graligers we're firm. res
olute, aud insisted on fair prices. and the
packers were compelled to pay them.
