These figures, which were compiled
with the most painstaking care by men
who are experts in the work of conduct
ing such Investigations, reveal that the
tendency in all products has been up
ward. Democrats in congress have re-
peatedly asserted the truth of these
facts, long before the labor bureau
prepared the figures, and these asser-
tons were as vigorously denied by the
protectionist orators in both branches
of congress.
TARIFF Is RESPONSIBLE.
That the tariff has been largely, if
not wholly, responsible for these in
creases, few will doubt, especially after
what was revealed by the investiga-
tons instituted and carried out by the
democratic house during the present
session Of congress. These investiga-
lions revealed that while the trusts
most highly benefited by the tariff wall
were charging unheard of prices for
their products, they were not sharing
any of the profits they gouged from
the consumers with the workers in
their plants, in behalf of whom they
asked protection.

scendants in New England with Indians
brought about many persons of mixed
blood that the English prejudices against
certain native American food products
passed away.
AS lately as fifty years ago. many
families in New England OF undoubted
descent from the Pilgrims and Puritans,
regarded roasted or baked turkey as an
Indian dish and would have none of it
at any time, preferring for Thanksgiving
Day dinner roast beef a saddle of NUT
ton, pork spare ribs, roast goose with
apple sauce, or farm-raised ducks with
barberry sauce. The wild turkey was
saved from extinction in New England
only because the farmers noticed that
those birds and the partridges served
well in Kidding the farm lands of insects
and weeds harmful to crops.
Daniel Webster Early Advocate.
Senator Daniel Webster, at his farms
In New Hampshire and at Marshfield.
Mass, seems to have been one of the
earliest advocates Of improving the tur-
Key. He did a great deal in that way
himself, and sent many fine gobblers and
mems from Marshfield to friends at home
and In Europe, who were engaged in i'm
proving breeds of poultry A downtown
motel In New York made for years a spe-
cial feature Of serving prime turkeys
from Webster's Marshheld farm. The
godlike Daniel" used to stay at that
motel. and at times when in good humor
ne would take the head of a table and
carve one of his own raised turkeys, a
saddle of mutton from his New Hamp-
shire place, or a haunch of a deer shot
oy himself in Plymouth woods.
In those days plenty OF wild turkeys
Were found in woods within twenty-five
miles OF the city hail. and many organ
'izations Of volunteer firemen and me-
chanics made up as target shooting COM
panies, spent Thanksgiving Day blazing
away in the woods at turkeys or in
shooting turkeys for prizes in the stable
Yards or inns in and near Gotham. In
those days tens of thousands of turkeys

TURKEY HAD SMALL REPUTA TON WITH
COLONISTS AS THANKSGIVING DISH

only a few Eastern hotels and restau-
rants served turkey between April and
mid-September. Since then the large
patronage of Eastern hotels, restaurants,
and clubs by weIl-to-do Western people
has made the turkey and the oyster an
everyday item on bills OF fare prepared
by landlords and stewards who used to
say that neither turkeys nor oysters
should be eaten in springtime, summer,
or early autumn.
Popular Sunday Dish.
In spite Of the statements Of popular
historians, roasted turkey with giblet
gravy and with cranberry or apple sauce
was a very popular Sunday and holiday
dish in this city and its vicinity many
years before turkey became standardized
as the central dish OF the Thanksgiving
Day dinner in Plymouth Colony and
among the Puritans and their descend
ants settled along Boston Bay and the
north shore Of Massachusetts,. The story
that turkey was the mainstay of the
Thanksgiving Day dinner of the early
colonists Of New England seems to have
come from the pen Of a visiting English
man at Plymouth, who described his
travels in a book published in London
just after the great fire.
He also told the absurd story of the
starving condition of the Pilgrims and
Of their being reduced at one time to a
dinner of three grains of corn. The fact
was that none of the early or late col
orists could have starved at Plymouth
or elsewhere along the north oP the south
shore, as the sea teemed with fish and
sbellf1sh and the woods were alive with
game. As late as thirty years ago Brant
Rock and Marshfleld, near Plymouth,
Mass, were resorted to by hundreds of
hunters Of wild birds, and to this hour
deer and wild bird shooting is good in
Plymouth County.
What the Pilgrims and the Puritans
craved for in the early years of the set
Elements was roast beef and mutton,
pork, wheaton, oaten and barley bread,
venison pasties made from the red deer
stock, native to England: jams and jellies
from English fruits preserved with brown
sugar from the Orient and English meal,
ales and Holland spirits. Most of them
disliked Indian corn in al, forms of prod
,ucts for human consumption, and they
cisliked oysters, CLAIMS, Holsters, mussels,
scallcps, turkeys and native, venison 1t
