Our friend from Live Oak" North
Dakota, and Fargo. Iowa. still CATER
wauls in the state Gazette" about the
tariff and the woes of the potters. He
ought to read the news columns of the
True American and keep up to date.
In that paper he would have found las.
Thursday a report of the concluding ar
gument in the suit Of the Trenton Potter
les Company against the ELEPHANTS over
the violation of an alleged contract which
was to form the basis of a trade monop-
oily. If the Red Oak editor should read
this argument, it might shame him into
a temporary silence about the p~otters'
grievances.
The report is brief and unsatisfactory,
but it brings out some facts which bear
on the tariff dispute in an amazing way.
Mr.. r. v. Lindabury, who closed for the
defendants. the ELEPHANTS. presented as
the main defence the argument that the
compliments were. trying to enforce an
Illegal contract, being one which was
against the public good. He dwelt on the
evidence In support of the view that the
great object which Bayne and Tapscott
had in securing the option on the differ
emit sanitary potteries, and in forming
the complainant company. was to create
a combine which would be a virtual
monopoly. and control the output and
price of sanitary ware. This would have
the effect of restraining trade, and was
illegal. They wanted to sell the stock
in England.
So it appears that while the tariff is
running American potteries. and booming
the English ones to an inordinate de-
gree wide State Gazette almost daily,
still stock in an American pottery trust
can be sold in England. This is at least
queer.
Mr.. Ledyard. who appeared for the
Trust, also made some disastrous admis-
sions. He admitted the natur of the
that there were several things which
stood out plain. The first was the cove
nant binding the defendants for fifty
years to keep out {. the business. This
was admitted. and its language was plain.
1t was for value received. The defend
ants admitted open violation of it. But
this was not all. Mr.. Ledyard went on
to argue that there was nothing illegal
in the formation of the Trenton Pot
teries Company. The cost of production
was lowered. Prices were sixty per cent.
lower now than before its organization.
Trade had been benefited rather than
restrained.
Same old gag that is always worked
off when there is a monopoly to defend.
Same old fact that is always forgotten
when protection is demanded. Here is a
trade which deliberately owns that the
cost Of production was so lowered by q
combine that prices could be cut sixty
per cent. And still 1t cannot be inter
with the protection which a tariff rang
ing from twenty to thirty-hve per cent
affords,
