prices for the necessaries of life is no
longer restricted to Asia and Europe,
but the people of the United States
are BEGINNING to feel the pressure of
the increased cost of living.
The primary cause of increased liv-
ing expenses is the lack of an equit-
able balance in the worlds population.
The massing of the people in cities
at the expense of rural population is
Ollie OF the causes that have advanced
the cost of living. The high wages
offered by manufacturers, railroads
and other great Industrial corpora
tions allure the young men from the
farms to fill clerical positions and to
become integers in the great indus
trial expansion of the age.
In the United States in 1900 there
were 1872, 000,0 edible animals on the
farms, and in 1909 there were lSl, $780,
00o-a decrease in the meat supply in
a decade Of l0,67o,Ooo edible animals.
The decrease in the meat supply and
the increase in the consumptive de-
mand incident to the normal growth
of the population is one Of the causes
of the high prices of meat.
1t is self-evident that the popula-
tion of the world is not equitably bal
anced in occupations to solve the
problem of cheap living. J. J. Hill
and other economists sound the note
Of alarm and point to the solution OF
the difficulty in the people staying On
the farm. Enlarged agriculture will
solve the problem of cheaper living
at home and abroad when consump
tive demand exceeds the products Of
the farm. Extremely low prices are
among the things of the past, as Eu
rope and Asia can take a large volume
Of imported agricultural products and
foreign demand will aid in maintain
ing conservative prices. The least
overcrowded Of all the professions Is
husbandry, which offers the largest
returns for the capital invested.

republican party of the state united
this year have had their hopes blasted
by the action of stalwarts at Water
town, 1t being their determination to
put up an entire ticket in opposition
to Gov. Vessey ct al. The cry Of ex-
travagance is raised. 1t is made in
blanket form and in no instance do
they attempt to point out to the people
wherein the administrator has been
extravagant in the use OF state funds.

them, doubtless, the hope is conferred
Of bringing out something sane

fact that South Dakota has advanced

contributed to expenditures necessary
to carry on the affairs Of the state.

are to retrograde, vegetate or call

NOT COUNTED AN oFFENSE.

Then there is Brother Lycurgus Will
son. The neighbors do say that he, in
addition to the others whom we have
heretofore mentioned. has taken unto
himself new poygamous wife since the
issuance of the Woodruff manifesto.
We say that the neighbors make such
report, but we should qualify somewhat.
There arc three sets of neighbors who
declare his delinquency, for Brother Ly-
curgus is sometimes of Salt Lake City,
sometimes of Forestdale, and sometimes
Of Poplar Grove-and always assistant
historian in the Salt Lake temple.
To those who declare, as a partial
defense for the non punishment Of new
polygamy, that Joseph +. Smith, presi-
dent Of the Mormon church. knows moth.

we say that here is one case in which

If, for instance, Brother Lycurgus had
committed some trivial act of another
sort which would be deemed to unfit
him for the position he occupies in con-
nection with the Mormon holy of holies.
Brother Joseph F. would be made aware
of it instanter, and Brother Lyaurgus
would be made TO feel the weight of
the prophetic displeasure forthwith. So

SOLD OUT TO THE ENEMY.

1t Will be recalled that lew days
ago Presiding Bishop Charles w. Nib.
ley caused to be printed IN the
Dcseret News signed letter, In which
he criticized the expose made by Mr..
Judson C. Welliver, in Hampton s
Magazine. of the alliance which exists
between the sugar trust and the Nor
mon church That criticism was mainly
upon trivial points, and did not ma
terially affect the main fact-that there
is such an alliance.
But the people Of Utah have some.
thing to say in this matter which may
not be ignored with impunity. Tho
people of Utah set the sugar industry
in Utah on its feet. Their loyalty
and faithful patronage-many times at
a decided disadvantage to themselves
nurtured the institution through It's
weak stages until finally IL was able to
stand alone. We recall a time in the
year 1894, as an instance of this self
sacrificing loyalty on tho part of the
people, that will serve as an illustration
Of their protecting care of the 'infant
industry The sugar trust at that
time cndcavorcd to force the Lehi fac
tory into the combine in order to
raise the price of sugar to Utah con"
sumers. The stock Of that institution
was more widely and generally held
then than now. The people had friends
who were interested in the concern.
These friends made appeal to the peo'
pie. The Tribune was first among the
newspapers to voice that appeal, con-
Quoting a campaign of publicity during
the months Of October and November,
1894, urging consumers TO buy only
Utah sugar, and to keep on buying
until the years output was disposed of
by the factory The dealers could
not very well buy up the total
product, because in that event the
trust would have put It's product on the
market here at much lower prlce,
compelling the dealers to sell to CON
sumers at a loss or to hold their stock
indefinitely, and at loss. The officers
Of the Lcbi factory petitioned the peo-
pie, through the newspapers and other
available avenues, to como to their sup
port The people did so with right
royal good will and loyalty, until by the
end of the year the output of the Lehi
factory had been purchased by the con-
sumers, thus saving the Utah sugar men
from great loss and perhaps condition
of bankruptcy that would have com
PEELED them TO yield to the trust. 1t
was the people of Utah, with their
loyalty and money, that saved the day
and preserved local industry to local
control.
But what has happened since few
high Mormon ecclesiasts took over the
stock of the coucerni They have
simply sold out to the enemy of the
people, and the people are now paying
tho onemy's exorbitant price for sugar.
The loyalty of the people has been ruth
lessly ignored in ingratitude, and the
people themselves have been betrayed
by prophets for profit only.
But it could not be expected that
man in Presiding Bishop Nibley's po-
sition would mention mere triae such
nc that
