TRUSTS THAT ARE MADE POWERLESS.
The foreign trusts increase in number and
power, but they are impotent to fix prices for
American consumers thanks to the policy OF
protection. All the world knows that the
French copper syndicate has not only been
unable to make the price for all American con-
sumers, but has been compelled to take enor-
mously increased quantities from this country,
the production being greatly stimulated here
in order TO prevent a collapse Of prices else
where. In 1888 no less than 3l,8OO,OO0
pounds Of ingot and bar copper went out Of tho
country, against only IL 800, 600 in 1887, and
there were exported 39,748 tons OF copper ore,
against 20, O6i tons the previous year. With
the stock accommodating at the rate OF 4,OOO
tons per month, this particular syndicate can
not force manufactured goods into this market
because of protection, and the imports Of all
manufactured copper were only $4,000 worth
last year against 81 OF 900 in 1887.
The salt syndicate proposes to add 90 per
cent to the English price Of salt, and is to BIO
met by severe competition from the New
Durham Salt Company, which will develop
new field But nine years ago this country
produced one thousand seven hundred million
pounds Of salt yearly, and the imports last
year were six hundred and sixty-three million
pounds. most Of il so coarse and crude that the
value was only 81 100000, whereas the value
Of domestic salt produced in 1880 was over
81 600 600. Since 1880 the production in
this country has greatly increased, so that II
is safe 10 say that we produce from three TO
four times as much as we import. Nor can
this county be dependent upon Great Britain
even for the part imported, because less than
90 per cent of the imports last year came from
Great Britain.
The British papers state that the lnterna-
tional Steel Rail Makers Association has been
revived, the foreign makers having agreed to
! let Great Britain supply India exclusively. The
combination expects to advance the price large
| y at once; from January, 1884, to April
| 1886, it was steadily maintained at about 81 l.
| Now American makers are selling at S27, or
even less according to recent reports and the
| imports last year were only 10000 tons AT
/ ports on the Pacific Coast or the Gull, far
! from American mills, the cost Of inland trans
portation as against transportation by ocean
! overbalances the duty, but the price for most
! American consumers is entirely governed by
/ home competition. Moreover, If the foreign
trust puts up the price abroad American mills
can undersell il at most Of the points where
foreign rails have Of late been purchased.

eyal Government can be induced to foot the
bills. The union for the Improvement of the
canals, which was organized at Utica in 1885.
was asked to favor the Federal aid scheme
but emphatically declined to do so. The Canal
Convention of 1886 was asked to choose
George Clinton, of Buffao-a grandson Of
Dewitt Clinton-as it's presiding officer, but ii
refused to do so at first, believing him pledged
to the support Of the Weber BILL which pro-
vided for an appropriation Of So 900, 900 from
the general Government. 1t was only when
Mr.. Clinton announced himself as opposed to
the Federal aid scheme that he was placed in
the chair. The friends of the scheme still per-
sisted in their efforts, but were beaten in the
Committee on Resolutions In the Canal Con-
veDtion Of 1887 ex-senator Macarthur offered
a resolution calling for Federal aid, and advo-
Gated it in an earnest speech. The convention,
however, by decisive vote killed the resolu-
ton. Last year the scheme failed to make any
progress.
1t is toerably clear from this that the canals
Of New York are to be improved by New-York
or not improved at all. But the State has al
ready indicated her purpose to take care of her
own great system of waterways. She knows
that her prosperity is largely dependent upon
maintaining them in condition of the highest
efficiency. And she is not so poor but that she
can afford to maintain them in that condition.
