There was no Mckinley bill in June,
1890, says the South Bend lind Trib-
une. Our readers know that democratic
papers predicted that If the Mckinley
bill became law it would cheaper
prices on everything the farmer raised
and increase prices on all he bought.
Time proves all things. Last June
the Mckinley bill was not law, ard
this June it is. Here are eight articles
OF produce most raised by farmers Of
st. Joseph county and of Indiana gen.

Kinley bill increased the duty to keep
Canadian farmers from shipping into
the United States to compete with our
home farmers. The amounts paid in

TRUSTS AND THE TARIFF.

a
Trusts and CombinationS Not the Result
OF the Tarif-Ihey Exi.t III Far Greater
Numbers In Free Tr 'dr Countries.
When the free trader is not screech-
ing that the tariff is tax" he is
shouting that it fosters trusts and com
binations to an unlimited extent, and
affirms that nothing can destroy these
evil combinations except free trade. or
as he calls it, tariff reform" Well.
we will admit that in this country OF
protected industries there are trusts
For instance, the whisky trust; but
what has protection to do with that?
The great Standard Oil combination.
how does protection foster that? The
cattle and beef monopoly, what has pro
lection to do with that? The cotton.
seed oil combination, what has protec.
ton to do with that The Western
Union Telegraph combination, how is
that affected by protection? And so we
might continue indefinitely; and on the
other hand we might refer to the great
carpet industry, which has been SO
thoroughly protected, and yet we see
no combination here. We might refer
to the refined sugar trust which has
been most highly protected, and yet
there are no monopolies in that, al.
though the attempt was made. We
might refer to our great iron industry
and wooden and cotton manufactures
our glass works and pottery works, an6
thousand and one other protected in
dustries which are made up Of hundreds
of competitors who have lowered the
price and improved the product.
For the sake of argument, we have
admitted that we have some trusts
combinations and monopolies. Nov
let us see what sort of panacea free
trade or tariff reform" would be fol
these. To do this we must go to En-
gland, the home of Golden and Bright
the mugwump's Mecca, the free trad
er's Ell Dorado. England is, in the Ian
guage Of Mr.. Blaine, ''plastered all owe
with trusts" 1t would be impossible
to enumerate them. There are ten in
dustrial mbinations there to one il
the United States. What are we thel
to conclude but that trusts and combina
tions are not the result of the tariff. !
is the tariff that stimulates production
and brings about competition that low
ers prices and improves the quality an
make of everything manufactured. TIL
tendency of the times is toward co-ope,
alton and combination, and in almos
every instance the result is in the in
terest of the consumer. Not that W
wish to defend trusts and advocate in
dustrial ordinations, but we want tn
truth to be known and the reason TO
it thoroughly understood. Trusts d
exist in protected country. The
exist, however, in far greater number
in free trade countries. The tariff ha
nothing whatever to do with them
They will exist, tariff or no tariff, s
long as bodies of men see advantag
and profit in combining. Not only doe
the tariff not foster trusts, but it is o.
ten the means of breaking them W
The increased duty on tin plate wi
soon make sad havoc with the ii
plate trust in England. We have a
ready been released from the steel ra
trust as we have from many other Ell
glish combinations. So let the FIRE
trader sing another song, for the or
that the tariff brings about trusts wi
no longer be believed.

How Its Music Converted . saioon'
Keeper.
Some one with cottage organ
moved into house next saloon. The
house was double and the saloon and
the parlor adjoined. so that what trans
pred in one place could be plainly
heard in the other.
Now it occurred that sweet child OF
the lady possessing the organ died, and
the fat, wheezy landlord professed
much sympathy. but it did not extend
any further after the little boys burial
than the next Saturday night, when .
number of rough drinking men met in
the saloon to have some violin music,
and as the nature of the pieces being
rendered was anything but soul.sooth'
ing the poor, lonely hearted mothey
wrung her hands in anguish and wond
dered what she could do.
Then she thought of the organ. and
going over softly to it she raised the
lid and began playing the well-knowp
tune Of Martyr, and as she played shs
sang:
"Jesus Lover OF my soul.
Let me to Thy bosom fly;
While the raging pillows roll,
While the tempest stQl is high
hide me. o, my 6sviouri hide.
Till the storm OF life 10 past;
Safe into the haven guide,
Oh, receive my soul at last"
She had played but one verse OF the
sweet hymn when all became quiet y
the barroom, and the lady felt svf9
from the solemn hush that they wer9
all listening. Then she lifted up 81
lent prayer that the hymn she was
playing might prove lasting blessing,
and SO God ordained, for when the lady
ceased playing, sobbing ready to break
her heart, all the shutters Of the saloon
were closed and the place was snut fos
the night.
| The next evening the saloon keeper
sent in two lady mem bers of his family
to beg the lady to play and sing:
Jesus, Lover Of my SOUL"
Wonderingly, the lady complied
Still more strange, he sent in again
and again for the same, until both the
music and the words became 50
monotonous, that the lady longed for
something else just for change.
But the organ, together with the
sweet words, accomplished their
mission. The hard heart was soft.
ened, and the saloon keeper found him.
sely longing to be able to make those
words the sweet prayer of his own
heart. In the midst of these new,
strange desires, he was taken sick.
He then sent for preacher to pray for
him, and tried to make preparations
for death.
During his death-agony, the lady
who owned the organ said to him:
"For God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten Son, that who.
soever should believe on Him, might
not perish, but have everlasting life. "
"Oh, yes,' he replied; II know all
that, but am so tired, SO tired"-and
so he died. 1t is to be hoped that the
man was saved, for he repented and
believed, and God is very r1erciful.

children should always attend church
