The official organ of the Ameri-
can Iron and Steel Association has
this to say of trusts:
'.The newspaper which under.
takes to make light of their tendon
cics, to dcfend their methods is there
fore public enemy, and it falls un-
der the very natural suspicion of
having been paid to advance the
interests of monopolists. More
particularly is that newspaper to
be suspected which advocates pro-
lection to home industry in one
column and. in another defends
Trusts. The protective policy is
absolutely at war with all Trusts,
since the very aim and essence of
protection is the encouragement of
competition that prices may be re-
duced; whereas the object of Trusts
is to restrict competition and to
artificially and arbitrarily advance
prices.
This note of alarm from a highly
protected industry is as significant
in its way as was the declaration of
the Iowa Republicans in favor of
protection "where it docs not foster
Trusts or trade conspiracies. . II
is due to a sense of danger ahead
for the Trust-fostering tariff.
The every aim and essence of
Protection" is to enable the home
manufacturers to charge more for
his product than he would be able
to do without it. If this is not the
effect of a duty it fails to protect.
The direct effect of thisr system of
bounties is to stimulate an artificial
increase of the production thus
favored. Money makers are anx-
iOus to share in the profits from
Ovcr-charging. The natural result
is from over-production, and this
leads to a Trust or other combina-
ton to restrict competition and to
artifcially and arbitrarily advance
prices
Protection favors this by shutting
out or restricting foreign imports,
leaving the home market at the
mercy of the conspirators. And
thus the tariff becomes the "foster-
mother of Trusts"
The truth of all this has been
hundred times established. 1t is
illustrated just now in the opera
tions of the Sugar Trust, the Viii te
Lead Trust, the JuteS Bagging and
Irvine Trusts, the Bihseed- Oil
Trust and "a score Of other tariff
s'trade conspiracies. .

The striking coal miner at Streat-
or, Illinois, who a few days since
buried his only chiId-starved to
death because its father could not
procure food to save its life-doubt-
less understands the doctrine of pro
lection to American labor much bet
ter than he did six months ago.
The firm of yandermark Brothers,
of Brooklyn, n. Y, wooden manu-
facturers, who failed day or two
ago for s27O, 600, doubtless under
stand the virtues of the tariff on
wool much better than when one of
its members interrupted Democrat
ic speaker. last fall With a coarse
epithet, and forced his way to the
rostrum and told his bearers that
unless Harrison was elected his firm
could not keep running, and a Dem
ocratic administration would ruin
them. The failure, quite recently,
of Lewis Bros. & Co, of New York;
the suspension of Brown, Steeso &
Clarke, of Boston; the going to the
wall of the Riverside & Oswego Mills
Company; the assignment of the
Phoenix Wooden Company; the fail
ure of the Wauregan, the Noting
ham, and the Thornton Worsted
Companies, and of the Ponemah
Mills Company, of Plainfeld, Con-
necticut, and the Richmond Paper
Mills-making a total of $4,000, 600
tied up in manufacturing embar-
easements in four of the Northeast
ern States within a month, are most
convincing arguments that protec-
ton does not protect. Most of those
establishments were engaged in
handling or manufacturing woole en-
goods
Last week, too, the keystone Fur
mace Company, of Reading Pennsyl-
wanna, assigned for the benefit of its
creditors. 1t operated two large
blast furnaces, turning out nearly
500 tons Of iron per week. -
In the SehuyikiIl Valley, out of
thirty furnaces more than sixty per
cent. are idle. IF anything on the
faeeof the earth is higly 4protected'
it is wool and iron-and especially
the latter, and still that saving
grace with which protection was
supposed to abound, has proved
inefficient. There will not be. so
many dupes three years hence as
there were a few months ago, and
if disasters in commerce and man.

The Mississippi Democratic State
Committee last week issued an ad-
dress on which the party creed in
matter of the trace issue was for
mulated, and the necessity of con-
tinued supremacy of the Caucasian
race in the South definitely set forth.
Whatever may be thought in the
North of their course, it clearly has
the approval of the vast majority of
the white people of the South.
With them the race question is not
political, but social. They have no
particular prejudice against the
dark-skinned people. That sort of
thing is confined to the dwellers in
northern ATTITUDES.
But throughout the Southern
States the proclamation of white
supremacy has been the keynote
of every political movement and
every social agitation. Living side
by side with a socially and intel
lectually inferior race, but totally
invested with freedom, it is incvita-
bic that sporadic conflicts should
take place here and there between
the whites and blacks. The South
ern people, if let alone, will work
their own salvation from race dis
turbances.

. The aprinciple which is the very
foundation of a protective tariff, /"
according to one of its defenders, is
that "when you assure to man a
certain extent of market he can af-
ford to sell you what you want
cheaper than he can possibly do if
operating on a smaller scale:" And
the deduction is drawn that because
the protective tariff secures to a
manufacturer the home market he
can produce. more and sell cheaper
than would otherwise be the case.
This is a plausible theory, but the
trouble is that it does not work.
In the first place, in many branch
'es of manufacture the cost of the
raw material and of the machinery
is SO enhanced by the tariff that
American manufacturers can not
produce their fabrics or wares as
cheaply as can foreign competitors
who are not thus handicapped.
In the next place, it is not what
the protected manufacturers can
"afford" to do but what they actu-
ally do which settles the value OF
protection. The tariff -tressed
Sugar Trust can "afford" to sell SUI
gar at less than 10 cents a pound,
but having control of the market it
won't do it. The copper combina-
ton, which is given control of the
home market by duty of 4 cents a
pound, can eafford" to sell copper at
less than II cents a pound. But its
member naturally prefer to pile up
fortunes for themselves to supplying
the country with cheap copper.
And SO it is in every protected
industry which takes advantage of
the suppression or limitation of for
eign competition by our tariff to
combine for a control of the market.
They put on, as the coal barons said,
call the price that the market will
bear" The protective theory may
be beautiful. The protective fact is
extortion and robbery.

Governor Lowry, of Mississippi,
has shown himself to be an ener-
getic, courageous executive. His
prompt action in suppressing the
Gonldsboro trouble is most COM
menable. He did not wait to send
troops in advance, but went at once
to the threatening point, and by
his personal exertions and influence,
seems to have avoided any necessity
of action by the militia. BY his
determination and persistence in
prosecuting the prize fighters, Sui
Ivan and Kilrain, and his success
in dispensing bodies of armed citi.
zens that threatened the peace of
the State, he has won for himself
enviable distinction. Harrington

Terra ALTA, w. Va, September
5.-The gubernatorial contest com
mittee to-day took up the counters
of Doddridge, Tyler and Richie and
pissed upon them. There were
very few votes contested in them,
with the exception Of Doddrfdge.-
Here Judge Flcming's attorneys
showed that gross Irregularities had
been practiced at the polls. There
were two Republican commissioners
at every precinct and one Demo
crat, and in many cases, paupers,
idiots and minors were allowed to
vote the Republican ticket. Ten
Golf votes contested on these grounds
were thrown ont. Golf gained one
vote in Richie and one vote in ny
Ter.
The committee then took up
Thicker county, and threw out ten
fraudulent Republican votes. They
were for the most part cast by nom
residents and minors. The evil
dence in each OF these cases was
very conclusive, and left no room
to doubt the illegnlity of the vote.
Judge Jennings plurality is now
about 2f5. The committee has only
a few more counties to acton, among
them being Marion, Taylor and Har-
rison. II will probably complete
this part of its work by the first OF
the week and then adjourn 10 meet
in Charleston IN about two weeks.
