I Substantial reductions In Iho prices ' 3rd meats were announced In New pTork Saturuday by wholesale and re tail meat dealers. The following com parisons were made in yesterday's New York Herald of retail prices: Two weeks ago Saturday Fresh loins of pork.. 20c lb 15c lb Ham, fresh, corned, smoked 20c !t 16c TT) Two months ago. Sat unlay Sirloin or porter house steak .... 21c lb 1 Sc lb Round steak 20c II. lSe tt Chicken, roasting. . 21c II 16c lb Chicken, broil, ng. . 21e lb 16c tt Mutton 16c lb 12Uc P Leg ol lamb lSe lb 16e lb An immense relief to several mil lions of meat eaters in here indicated: doubtless similar reductions will lie reported from other section of the country. It is. for the time being at least, a happy tiling for the Demo cratic party, which knows that large factor in the election results of last week was the high cost of food; which knows that the people arc hoping for. rather than expecting, results from their votes, although those votes were cast primarily, perhaps, as a rebuke to the Republicans. To attribute this cutting off ol mil lions of dollars from the people s food bill to politics is not entlreh fanciful. ! Says the Herald: It was pointed out by the butchers that at the i;i tail Stitchers' conven tion In Chicago last September n com mittee was appointed by them to agi tate for the removal of the dut cut foreign meats. It was said that the members of this committee had re ceived assucanrets from members oi the Senate and the House of Repre- tentative that in the event of a Dem ocratic vlctorv- at tho polls the tarff would be removed. The New York dealers differed somewhat In their views as to the rea son for the .tit in prices, several maintaining that the reduction was due to natural causes, while others Insisted that the remarkable Demo cratic victories in the recent elections had so impressed the western packers that they hurriedly lowered the prices of their products in order to attempt to forestall a reduction In the tariff on South American beef and Canadian and Australian mutton The prices of meats, as we all know, have been climbing more or less steadily for years. A very simple and natural prima! . .-use has been pre sented In the failure of cereal produc tion to keep pace with the Increase In population This year we have produced a corn crop that, by comparison with the average, is em rtnous. The land has produced more fool for hogs and cattle ami poultry But the acres planted to cereals have not produced nearly as much as they are capable, with right handling, of producing. Wo m ed more ami more brains in our farming: more anil more application of methods that. In Older civilization, have long ago been tested nut. Hut the matter has at b ast an argu mentative political aspeet; and w. shall minti at length from the Her aid's article: Attention was called to the fact that while high duties, amounting to two cents a pound on all meats, were Im posed on imports, for the protection of American packers, the latter were snipping tne best American meats abroad snd selling them in Ixindon at the prices prevailing here, notwith standing the fact that the exporters pant the cost of transportation amounting to three-quarters of a cent a pound. It was stated by butchers that ham had dropped four cents a pound in the last two weeks, fresh, corned or smoked ham selling how at sixteen cents a pound. Front, ns of pork were selling for gteen cents a pound yesterday. Two weeks ago they were twenty cents a pound. There has been a general slump m the prices of beef. Which Is now rrom two to three cents lower. Mutton and lamb have drop ped from three to four cents a pound cheaper. It was state,! that poultry is Ave cents lower. Mutton and lamb nave dropped from three to four cents a pound snd lamb Is two conts a pound cheaper. It was stated that poultry Is live cent lower at present than the prices that prevailed Ave or six months ago. Mr. Stokes, general manager of Ar mour Co.. In this city, said that no representative of the company at this would he permitted to make a on the subject of the reduc rices. Block, one time vice preet- 1 of the New York Retail Butchers' In discussing the positive that the ts will be abolish - The ed. The existing duty on Imported meats, whether it be beef from South America or mutton from Australia or Canada Is two cents a pound. Since we have an Import duty, why should we not have an export duty? 1 was in London recently and saw that American beef, the best of its kind, was being sold there at the same prlct prt'vailiiiK here, and that notwith standing the fact that the exporters have to pay three-quarters of a cent a pound for transportation charge. "It is not right that such conditions Should prevail, and the one ray of hope is that the tariff on meats Is to be abolished. The American work ingman w'U then be able to cat meat once a day as ne usee; to. At me present time he can est meat only two or three times a week. Why. ! when I llrst started in business, meat 'was eaten thee times a day In Amer ican homes and we had to put out a long line of meats for the breakfast I demand. But the American workman certainly has a right to have meat once a day. "The present reductions in the prices of meat are beyond a doubt a direct result of the election. The western beef packers are frightened. I do not expect to see the prices go much lower Just now. The packers will await the action uf congr.-ss, anil if they see things going agulnst them, they will lower the prices still more in order to indicate that there is no need for reduction In the tariff. "At the Retail Butchers' convention, in Chicago, last September, assurances were given by Democratic Senators and Representatives, that. In the event of a Democratic victory at the polls, that the tariff on meat products would come off This. In my opinion, was one of the reasons why there was such a great Democratic sweep throughout the country, it will do much tiwrelieve the present situation, which is undeniably aggravated by the high prices maintained by the packers. "I read 'he statement made by Charles W. Armour In Kansas City, In the Herald this morning, but I can't cpiite understand the drift of it. He says: 'The cereals are getting down. People are going to take advantage of these lower prices, and that will have a tendency to relieve the stringency in meat prices, especially pork.' "What does he mean? If I have two lambs, and ten persons waiting to bu them. I will try to satisfy everybody at the lowest price. But if I have twenty customers, I'll surely raise he price on them, if the demand is so great as that.'' rin: SIl.KM E AT HILL. SAG MOKK The current week, we may be per j mlttod to hope, will find the Great 'Silence broken. The pathway up Sagamore lllll which, in the language of the New York World, was for a long while taken by those seeking grace and guidance, will no doubt be, peopled once more by reporters. It Is true that Colonel Roosevelt once bc took himself to the fastnesses of Afri can Jungles, with only a scant score if reporters within easy call, but that was a voluntary eflacement ; this In voluntary kind will not last for long. The World wishes to know "if the colonel is communing with the spirits of tile great dead, and to what vol umes in that darkened library he lias turned for solace and sad relief? " If he cared to Mr. Roosevelt could just as well bo running through the pages ol the Winning of the West, for that part of the country Is still with him. and those New York news papers uiav Mud that their work of extirpation has only been half done when he does get ready to speak. The Colonel should cheor up. and that quickly.

Days before the battle of the ballots he, perhaps foreseeing what was to happen, reminded his followers, likewise t'.ie enemy, thut Appomattox came after Bull Run. Or does the Colonel feel that It was worse than the null Run of familiar history'.' AltMOl U S I III I IIIM. WDltlta Cheaper food price.!- are in sight. In the opinion of C. W. Armour, who Could probably arrange things that way if he cared to. Bays Mr. Armour: "fj neral food prices are working to ward a lower basis. The cereals are getting down. People are going to take advantage of lower prices, and that will have a tendency to relieve I the stringency In meat prices, espec ially pork." Mr. Armour thinks farmers should raise neaitnier nogs. In which caw the amount of pork "condemned by the United States Inspectors would be considerably less.
