BLAME COLD STORAGE.

Benate Committee on Wrong Tack. It Mistakes the Effect For the Cause. The senate committee appointed to Inquire into the high cost of living would appear to be trying to‘make a scapegoat of cold storage. It has introduced a bill into congress placing limits upon the use of this method of preserving foodstuffs for sale. That shows bow far it is from-getting at the root of the.difficulty. Cold storage is in itself a beneficent Invention. Cold storage enables the Englishman and will soon enable the American to eat New Zealand mutton at a cheaper cost than American mutton. That is a legitimate use of the process. But in the hands of the greedy monopolists cold storage keeps back the food from the market and becomes a method of extorting money from the poor. That is an Illegitimate use of the orocees.
