Why Hogs Werc Chean,

The Salt Lake Daily Tribune thinks
the enactment Of q new tariff has moth
ing to do with the lower price for hogs;
yet in the anne article says, "the peo-
pie have become SO poor that the un.
derconsumption of the country is some
thing enormous" This applies equally
to hogs as it does to wheat, corr and
sugar, Of which government statistics
show that decreased quantities have
been consumed by the people since the
present administration came into
power. People who are out Of a job,
or whose wages have been cut down,
have not been buying pork very freely
during the last two years. Their sup
ply Of currency was not elastic enough
to afford them even the usual quantity
Of bread to which they had formerly
been accustomed under protection.
