The only two trusts known to English
trade at present are the trusts in copper
and tin, and they were both the concep-
ton of protected France and of French
financiers. More than this, the copper
trust is largely upheld by the copper mine
companies of the United States, which
produce fully half the copper Of the
world. These mines, under the protec-
ton of our infamous copper tariff, entered
into combination, extended over num-
Der of years with this French trust, to
which they have bound themselves under
heavy penalties to sell ali their product
at the fixed price of 10 cents pound AS
to the tin trust, that has been knocked
in the head" chiefly through the efforts
of British consumers, who have raked the
markets of the world over in order to OBJ
tain the product at living prices. Chicago

When a veteran Republican like ex-
Speaker De Witt c. Littlejohn leaves his
party or expresses lack of confidence in
her officers it is time for those remaining
to look out for breakers His frank dis
avowal of sympathy with the high protec-
tionists, made to an Eagle reporter and
published in our news columns last even
ing, furnishes additional evidence of the
rapid progress which is being made to-
ward revenue reform convictions among
thoughtful voters. Mr. Littlejohn be-
lieves lin a modification of the tariff, so
as to regulate the domestic market and
curb the tendency toward combinations
and trusts which an abnormally high
tariff unquestionahly engenders." This
is sound and solid ground, and having
reached it he will act with consistency il
