4 GLASS TRUST.

Combinations in trade 10 control prices have
existed in every country tariff or no iarlh, ana
are much more numerous in Free-Trade Eng
land than in this country. More were formed I'M
der the Wilson low tariff than had been formed
In many previous years. ana more OF them
were broken up and abandoned within short
time after Democratic defeat had insured the
restoration Of the protective policy than had
been formed under any previous tariff. The
reason for these things is 80 obvious that n man
needs the all Of wful blindness 10 overlook H.
\ home market 50 restricted by business de
preston and by foreign importaions that cut
;nroat competition results for the trade which
Is not enough to support all concerned, if not
soon relieved. Inevitably drives producers into
self-protectng combinations, 80 that they may
divide the business with some profit for each
instead Of destroying all profits by fighting each
other But when change of policy secures
the home market to home producers, and at the
same time vastly expands the market by re-
vivlng prosperity. then the concerns best able
10 extend their trade insist uron getting as much
business as they can.
The formation Of glass combination is an
absurd anachronism. There would have been
sense in II two years ago. when there was not
business enough for half the concerns In the
country and imports were 20 to 100 per cent
larger than they are now. This manufacture
has been hindcred In development. perhaps more
than any other by two kinds Of combinations.
The manufacturers in some Of its branches have
persisted in fixing prices so as 10 get all they
could from the public. and the workers have
maintained by organization wages unnaturally
high in proportion to those paid in other occu-
pations In consequence not many other indus
tries have made 50 little progress toward self
sustaining independence. The manufacturers
New-York tribune., 1897-10-11

consider that the wages demanded by workers
are high and the men answer that the pron'S
demanded by the manufacturers are high WIN
wages ranging from 80 to SO per cent or the
total value of products. and the cost OF ma
terals ranging from % to 30 per cent IL IS
evident that the industry is In an unha'urai
condition in some of its branches.
Combination to fix prices Is not the ROAD
toward Improvement. 1t only exposes the IN
dustry still more TO foreign competition. and to
demands of labor unions which cannot he dis
puted so long as there is no open competition
between domestic producers. At n time when
business is rapidly expanding and the most
entprprsing establishments in other branches
are striving TO lay the foundations of larger
permanent business the glass producers can
only cripple themselves and render their in
dusiry less Independent by combining. 1t is not
to be overlooked that public opinion largely
controls the making Of tariffs. and will In all
future years be disposed to grant the least pos
sble favor TO those industries which strive to
prevent. by combination of producers, that free
home competition which 1t is the distinct object
Of the protective policy to stimulate The Pro-
tectlonst Is abundantly Justified when he Is
able to show. as he can in the case Of steel
rails or tinplates many other products, that
defence against foreign interference has built
up such an independent industry and encour-
aged such competition among home producers
that the people get cheaper products than could
be had anywhere else In the world, quality con-
sdcred. But the people will for that very rea-
son have the less disposition to favor any in
dustry which sets itself to defeat the objects
of the protective policy by stopping home com
petition.

"iPPPOACHTNG" CANADA.

The Canadian Minister Of Finance gravely
asserts that "Barkis is willin'.' He has an
idea that the United States is much concerned
over the unsatisfactory state Of its trade with
Canada and Is anxious for a change in interna-
t,onal relations. Wherefore he hastens to assure
this country that If 1t approaches" Canada its
suit will not he disdalnfuly rejected. Canada
is in condescending mood. and will graciously
listen to the Yankee plea and perhaps nmke
favorable reply. Which will be. no doubt, the
salvation Of this country, industrially ana
commercially Americans ought TO jump mt
the chance of making terms with their nofth-
ern neighbors before it is everlastingly too late.
Yet IL is to be doubted If any uncommon
corcrncss is manifested in this country TO zap
proach" the Dominion on bended knee. Ameri-
cans may be stff-nccked and perversc. but
they cannot help thinking that anything Ike
commercial union without political union would
be far more to Canada's advantage than TO
theirs They cannot help remembering that
for years they have. through the bonding con
cession. been supporting Canadian railroads a'
the expense Of their own and that Canada
not four months ago. by granting discriminating
duties tn Great Britain. raised an insuperablc
barrier against United States commerce. They
see at this present moment Canada ph!ine
the part OF n marplot against this country ana
to the detriment Of It's relations with Great
Britain.
In the face Of these things the suggestion
that the United States should approach
Canada seems marked with truly hyper
borcan cooness If Canada wants 10 enter
into commercial union with Great Britain she
has an unqucstioncd right to do So ana II may
he to her interest TO do so; but she can hardly
cypect the United States To enter the com
biuation If for the sake of local and transient
pecuniary profit she ei"cts to balk important
negotiations between Great Britain ANA the
United states and defeat the aims of equity
and humanity. she has til" right 10 do so; hut
shc can hardly expect her doing so to coInmehi
her 10 this country or TO move this country 10
approach" her as a suppliant II may be hard
lines. but the United States will try 10 worry
along somehow or other. without the iavoring
light Of Canada's commercial counienancc.
