A PIE TRUST.

Neither Mr. Bryan nor Mr.. Cochran, nor
any other of the erudite gentlemen who
recently discussed trusts at the Chicago
convention, said a word about pies. II is
to be inferred therefore that the octopus
stole a march upon them when, while they
We're talking about federal licenses and
unlimited publicity as the means for trust
killing, the octopus reached out its tenta-
c!es and silently grabbed the pie foundrles
of New York.
This newest trust is New Jersey cor
poration. Mr.. Bryan might argue that If
his plan of federal licenses We're in vogue,
it would be impossible for the pie trust to
invade New York and assail the digestion
of the people of that state without the CON
sent of their representatives in the ma
tional government; but Mr.. Cockran's pub
Iicity panacea would have little snag to
run up against. 1t is the purpose of the
trust so it is announced, to have great
deal of publicity about its business; not of
lis books, property and profits, probably,
but with respect to the present secrets of
pie construction, including the hitherto
impenetrable mystery of the ingredients
of the seductive mince. Pie making by the
trust will be open to ALL" like the circu-
lation books of certain of the yellow jour
nails. Special exhibition plants are to be
put in, where the curious may watch the
process of manufacture, from raw mater
ial to finished product.
This trust, like others that might be
named, lays claim to being in the interest
of the people. L says it is not going to
limit the output or increase prices, but
will reduce cost of production and give pie
their money that they ever enjoyed Dis
tributions are to be made from number of
automobiles, painted white. the color be
ing typical of the purity of the pies dis
pensed.
II cannot be successfully disputed that
the pie trust has before it field of abund-
ant opportunities. The pie habit has be-
come firmly fixed upon the American peo-
pie. 1t is responsible for innumerable cases
of indigestion and dyspepsia, and these in
their turn are responsible for tens of thou
sands of things said and done in both the
commercial and domestic world that would
otherwise have been left unsaid or UNI
done Should the trust. therefore be able
TO put upon the market really digestible
pie, It might be the indirect means of
changing the whole course of business and
family life, and bring happiness into count
less homes where pie and pessimism have
held sway.
