Lock-outs Under the War Tariff


From the Missouri Republic.
The idea of combination to raise prices
IL very old, but that of extending
combinations to all manufacturers of any
article and making the combination per-
manent Is an outgrowth of the inventive
genius of America, f. S cred by the pro-
tective tariff. 1t is a great idea with a
great deal of money in it, and since the
civil war it has taken hold on the Unite5
States as Cnly great ideas with money III
them can. 1t mas increased among manu-
facturers until the mania for combination
is as evidently "a crsZe" rs was the roller
skating "craze," or any other of the
various manias with which we have been
from time to tins afflicted.
Manufacturers may have combined in
the beginning solely to resist the demand
of labor for higher wages, but the Stan
dard Oil com pauy showed them the posi-
bilities of combination as a means of
limiting supply and thus controlling price
The Standard Oil com psny had the supply
of its product limited by nature to small
area, but the imitators of this monopoly
nad artificial aid created by the tariff laws
making it easy for them to carry out their
plans.
The consequent increase in the combi-
nation of capitalists has been attended by
such a marked increase in the number
and extent of strikes and lock-outs that
the two phenomena force attention in the
relation of cause and effect.
In 1881, before the "trnst" system was
fully inaugura.ed, there were only AL
strikes involving 1928 establishments. In
1856 the number had increased to LAP
strikes with 1898 establishments involved.
1t will doubtless be argued that ttess
strikes were forced by labor combinations

much money in that line as is made by
any two or three law firms of our city.
When so much is at stake, it behooves the
president to be careful. Congress should
do that work of strict supervision, but
if it fails in its duty the burden
must fall on the president and his able
assistants. Pension Commissioner Black
has under him most efficient furce.
Skilled detectives and experts look iuto
every case, so far as the rushing pension
policy of congress will allow, and it is en-
tirely upon the report of this pension
bureau President Cleveland gives or with
holds his approval. That he and the gov
eminent have been exceeding liberal
during the past four years, the records
show; that he has often interposed his
veto is evidence he is closely watching the
treasury and the interests of the govern
ment. Such a liberal-minded, yet brave
and self-reliant, man is the one democracy
will this fall en,rust with another lease of
power.

The Commercial Bulletin Of latest date has
the following to say Of the cotton market
"On the whole, those who believe in strong
tone for balance Of crop year were inclined
20 take most comfort from the situation, and
express some surprise even, that the shad-
ing from Tuesdays advance has not been
greater. The failure Of an increased offering
on the short side Is not wondered at In view
of the undetermined conditions Of the old
crop situation, but II was expected that fur
ther spilling by the longs would be found In
sufficient force 10 carry few moro points on
the downward inclination. Speculation,
however, Is too narrow TO work successfully
for any immediate purpose, and the deal Is
simply Of protective character by those
who remain In, while the outs sit by and
await developments On the public dis
patches from abroad there was little varia-
ton Of importance, and private accounts
added nothing 20 the fund Of information,
while communications from the south were
barren Of anything calculated to change pre-
viously existing impressions, Some Of the
trade, however, are commencing TO study
the new crop months, and occasionally there
IL a suggestion that they may be little too
low M compared with current valuation ON
active cotton"
Hubbard, Price 4 Co. say; Due 20 the
frmness and advancing tendency Of cotton
in Liverpool, our market opened with fair
demand from 3 20 4 points higher. There
was liberal buying on the part OF local
shorts, who ~ usual close or protect their
deals with the closing Of the week, but we
also noticed a good investment demand.
