WHERE THE CUT COMES.
The Packer Exacts His Tribute No
Matter at What Prices He Buys
or Sells. II

1t was Interesting to watch haw
the threat of federal prosecution
chopped the cost of living.
For few hours the packers were
worried, buyers at the stockyards
sought cover and abruptly quit bid
ding.
Cattle feeders and ranchers and
farmers, with their offerings, found
no buyers.
Hogs dropped three and four cents
in two days, and in many cases the
slender margin of profit for the pro-
Queer was wiped out.
In western markets hogs of GER
tain classes, rough heavies for in
stance, eased off six cents a pound
in As hours. AN
BUT three miles away bacon was
still SO cents pound. t>
Pork chops held the same fhign
level.
| There was oi~cut in lard nor in
hams.
The producer was given the axe
right on the jump; but the consumer
even the retailer, gathered no bene-
fit from the decrease.
Indeed prices in several staples
like coffee and sugar, and bread stiff
ened.
And, after the furore was over, the
general cost of living was higher
than before, the country over.
The net result was that a lot of
farmers received a shock; the future
of the hog and cattle and dairy mar
ket again was dubious, and all over
/, the, country the producers will again
shorten production and six months
from now there will be another scant
pig crop and higher prices.
Always the packer gets from I'M
der; always he cuts the produces
and still holds up the consumer.
Across the packers counter goes
the food of the nation, and he exacts
his tribute, his literal pound of flesh,
NO MATTER AT WHAT PRICE HE
lBUYS OR SELLS!
