(To i.m K1 ltor.) The limited number of read ers of the morning Trillium havo no doubt read, nnd many others huvn heard of, an Insulting and abusive let ter diiected against the meat mnrkot owners In Pendleton. For my part, I cannot roncWve why the writer or the article did not com plain of the exorbitant price charged for hay by the robber farmers since the Jackass Is not a Mean eating animal.

How over, I for one will sell tho author of the article a good butc.cring outfit at cost, so that he, also, may go into the robbing business if he has no con scientious scruples, and I am sunt ho has none. But, in all seriousness, let us ex amine whether or not there Is any truth In his statements or whether It is only a crawler in his eyebrows which his distorted imagination turn ed into a giant meat trust. In the lirst place, he says the prlco for live hogs does not exceed 15; cents per imhuuI on foot und that the consumer has to pay twlco that! amount ami verv noor mirk 11 f thm (I suppose it was a good nrtleln when I the butcher bought It trom the fnrm-( erj.

J If ho wants to pay 25 cents per if jjuuuu ior eastern oacon no is free to do so; but he can get a good home made article for mlieh less money. He also says beef steers range from $2.75 to $3.10 on foot, which Is. not true. I have 110 knowledge of nnv good steers selling for less than ts.ir, on foot, while you can buy plen- u ui buuu uuiung oeei tor u cents ' and plenty of good roasts and steaks tor from S to 10 cents per pound.

It Is greatly to be regretted that the division of society Into classed renders the working class unable to buy their share of the best, but that is the bitter fruit of a bad system of economics for which the butchers are not alono responsible. une word more. All this fall, ow ing to tho surplus of live stock, farm ers havo been hauling In dressed meat of all kinds and peddling n. around town. .Much of this meat Is not what would go Into a respectablu market. Now. I do not condemn the farmer, but I do know the public to be Ignor ant of the prices of meat, for they of ten pay more for this stuff than they could get good meat for at the mar-, kets. Only the other clay one of them came to my house and wanted 7 cents for meat that would havo coat but 5 cents at the shops. Now. I think tho writer of that article ought to go back to Sunday school or hide In that ; theological brush heap.
