Three bridges, supposed to be strong and

THE claim that protective tariff
fosters and furthers trusts" is nothing
but piece of the sheerest demagogism.
The tariff does not in any manner
affect the price of petroleum, the United
States being the great oil region
of the world, and yet the standard oil
trust" is the greatest and most aggres-
sive combination of the kind in exist
ence And then take the great coffee
trust" that has controlled the price of
that article during the last year, send
ing it up and down like scc-saw at its
own pleasure; the tariff is in no way
responsible for that, rs there is no duty
whatever on coffee. The truth of the
matter is that there is no connection
between the tariff and trusts" That
the latter are obnoxious To the people,
and damaging to the prosperity of the
country, is certainly true; but freetrade
or a tariff for revenue only, as demo
Gratis delight To designate it, will neither
remedy nor mitigate the evil. The only
result would be to transfer some of the
trusts" from America to foreign coun-
tries, and thus place American citizens
wholly at the mercy of combinations of
foreign capital. The remedy for the
trusts" is To be found in appropriate
legislation for their government and
control and not in "A revision or modi-
fication of the tariff. American trusts"
can be made amenable to American
law, but foreign trusts" such as would
Immediately spring up under a system
of freetrade, would be wholly beyond
the jurisdiction and control of this
country. The change, To use IA homely
illustration, would be like jumping
from the frying pan into the fire.
