ported. The duties on manufactures OF 'e""
cordagc, inseed oil. starch and rubber arc prop
ably not essential to the success OF any "'o'

ing increasingly clear in Wall Street that the
strong competition, and the other conditions
which existing laws create, threaten every one
of them with disaster and destruction. Abont
these the intelligent man may reasonably DOUBT
whether abolition of all duties, or the intense
competition which protective duties IN some
measure encourage, will the more speedily break
up monopolies.
l}nt trusts and mOnopclies exist IN greater
number and with greater power in Great Brit
ain under Free Trade than in this country.
II is either childish nonsense or iiagrant DIS
honesty to represent that such organizations
exi { he,c because of protective duties. IL may
no that some of them would be more speedily
brcl,en ND if the duties on certain special prod
nets were abolished. But all this has nothing
vha.ever to do with the general policy OF pro-
lection for home industries.

TPrSTS AND THE REMEDY.

Trusts have made trouble in Wall Street
Many millions have been lost, manX thousand
individuals have suffered some men of impor-
lance and of worth have been bankrupted, be-
cause of these organizations. Yet they are pro-
nounced illegal and contrary to public policy
by the laws, and are strongly condemned by
public opinion 1t is not to the purpose here
TO reopen the controversy about those organ
izations, which was so ably conddcted by Mr..
Dodd of the Standard Oil Company OH one
side and by Mr.. POwderly of the Knights OF
Labor on the other. The broad fact that the
laws of the United States and OF many States
are expressly framed to prohibit and prevent
such combinations of capital is enough.
What else can be done to arrest their per-
nciOus influence? Abolish Protection. say some
Democratic papers. Elect Republican Con-
gress and President, say some OF their Repub-
lcan contemporaries. One side argues that the
trusts exist solely because of Protection. The
other sides reasons that the abolition of duties
would not affect the trust organizations in the
least, and that the Republican party is I'M
cOmpromisngly committed to their destruction.
Meanwhile men who have kept abreast with
the age in which they live feel that there is a
great deal of f0Olishness in the discussion. A
few Of the organizations known as trusts are
possibly helped by duties on imports, and might
not exist but for those duties. BY far the
greater number exist in spite OF protective
duties, and find in the policy Of Protection
their worst enemy.
The Standard Oil is the Oldest and richest
of these combinations, and has never had a
protective duty to help or hurt it, The Cotton
Oil, another old concern, never was helped or
hurt by duties on imports. In the very nature
Of things various gas concerns, the electric
companies, some transportation companies, the
express and mining companies, have never been
assisted in the least by any duties on imports,
and would not be affected by the abolition of
all such duties.
There are duties on whiskey and tobacco, be-
cause there are internal taxes on those manu-
features. If II were possible to abolish both
the internal taxes and the duties these two
trusts might be destroyed, though that is some
what doubtful. At present it is enough to say
of them that they actually pay to the Govern
ment large share of its internal revenue, which
the Government cannot spare. Abolition OF
the duties and taxes on these articles is simply
impracticable.
Ii is probable that the duties on sugar, lead
cordage. lnseed OIL rubber manufactures and
starch may have helped the monopolies in these
products at times, and it is fair question
whether these duties should not be abolished
Long ago THE TRIBUNE earnestly advocated
the abolition Of all duties on sugar. and it OBJ

coon ROADS ONCE MORE.

Attention was lately directed in these col
umns to the attitude of Niagara County toward
road reform "Thc LockpOrt Journal.' as a
result of interviewing a majority OF the mem
hers of the Board of Supervisors OF the county
repored that tho chances were that Niagara
would not avail herself of the provisions OF the
law in the interest of improved highways which
was pas.ed by the last Legislature. 1.-The Jour
nar-the most influential organ of public opin-
ion in Nagara-seemed inclined to think that
the Supervisors had reached wise conclusion.
II fayors the reform, but holds that the time Is
not ripe for putting it in force. "Thc Carthage
Republican, on the other hand is doing it'
best to inducs the Supervisors of Jefferson 10
nroceed without unnecessary delay under the
now law. 1t reminds them that a good road IS
q great boon to farmers. and that bad ROAD
is {" the heaviest tax the farmer has forced upon
him." 1t cannot be too often repeated that IL
pays in hard cash to give county good roads
Farmers who are sceptical on this point would
do well to find out what effect road improve
ment has had upon the price Of real estate IN
the counties of New-Jeisey which have enforced
the reform.
The exhibit which the National League for
Good Roads will make at the Worlds Far
cannot fail TO accomplish great things for the
cause. 1t will show those concerned the differ
ence between first class road and bad one,
and teach them the rudments, at least, OF
sc;ont;tc roadmaking. Thus interest in the
subject will be aroused and wisely directed.
The exhibit will be one Of the attractions OF
the Department of Agriculture, and it is to be
hoped that no one of our Newly ork farmers
who visit the Fair will miss seeing 1t.
OF course there is no such thing as an argyll
ment against road reform. 1t is conceded on
all sides that the country must have better
roads sooner or later but in some sections, as
in Niagara, policy of delay is favored, on the
ground that the longer county waits the Del
fer IL can afford rst-class transit. The nearest
approach to an argument against the reform Is
the assertion that il is largely advocated by
those who make and those who ride bicycles.
Now. naturally the bicycle people are partial to
| GOOD. smooth roads. and will do what they can
TO secure them If they started the movement
for road reform and are prominent in push
ing it. coed for them, since in grinding their
| own axe they are grinding one of infinitely more
| account belonging to the general public. There
is no live city in the country to-day which feels
that it can get along without rapid transit. But
if the prosperity of the cities is largely condi-
toned upon the successful solution by them OF
the rapid transit problem, why should any
rural district feel that it can afford to neglect
| its roads?

CURRENCY PER CAPITA.

Again the oft-exploded statement is floating
about that this country has in circulation less
money per capita than Great Britain, France
or Germany. in no sense is this assertion
true, and it would have no practical meaning
il it were true The latest official report OF
the amount in actual circulation in different
countries may be found on page 164, Finance
Report for 1892. This statement shows the
available gold and silver in each country, and
the paper not representing gold or silver held
only for its redemption; thus, for the United
States the gold and silver certificates which
represent specie on deposit in the Treasury are
omitted, and also 500 000,O legal tenders
against which the bullion fund is held. This
shows a larger circulation in France but a
smaller circulation in Germany Or Great
Britain, than in this country, the amounts per
CAPITA being thus stated:
