The horizontal stabilizer trim control system trims the airplane longitudinally by varying the horizontal stabilizer angle of attack and the elevators provide primary control of the airplane about its pitch axis. So,
Pulling the stick back will, move the trailing edge of the elevator upwards so that the elevator is in a leading edge down attitude.
