a Trust That 10 Not Protected. &
A good many families that usually
have turkey to eat on Thanksgiving
had to be satisfied this year with more
moderate-p.iced fare. The price OF tur-
keys In the Eastern cities was beyond
the purse of ordinary housekeepers. 1t
now appears that the cold storage trust
had bought up all the available supply
of turkeys, and, like its sister trusts,
expected the people would have to pay
all 1t demanded. The trust reckoned
without its host, and still has n good
many turkeys on hand that the public
refused to purchase. Turkeys are not
a necessity, like the products of many
other trusts, and the consumer refused
to pay the price demanded and the tur-
key trust is not rolling in riches. The
protection!sts should look to this. Hero
tariff, and some way should be de-
vised to shelter 1t like the other trusts.
1t is even said that the turkey raisers
iii Congressman Grosyenor's district In
Ohio were induced by the trust to sell
their turkeys at low price and are
demanding that that arch protectionist
pay some attention to their interests
instead of figuring OH election results
that always foretell protectionist yic-
tories. The turkey trust and the tur-
key producer must be protected. What
is the use OF protection that does not
protect all alike? y
