A Newspaper, Not a Party Organ
THE LOGIC OF TRUSTS.

The American Economist states that
an Illinois manufacturing company has
offered TO furnish the planters In the
South regular fiat cotton tie at 40 cents
uer bundle at wholesale in carload lots or
at IS cents at retail, and that several car
loads have already been ordered for that
immediate section.
Last year the price was 81. 80 per bundle
ut retail and sl.35 at wholesale. Then
the Wilson ii Gorman law was in force and
cotton ties were on the free list, out the
price was 81. 80 per bundle at Wholesale
This year We have the Dingley bill and n
protective tariff on cotton ties and they
are offersd at 20 cen is bundle at whole
sale
These facts do not seem to work in with
the parrot cry that "the tariff is tax, -
and they are refutation OF the other
free trade falsehood scattered so broadly
and so constantly, that protective tariff
'osters trusts.
Wien business thrives and confidence
reigns, men do not wait long to com
pete with, and break down. trust
which charges exorbitant prices. When
business is paralyzed and confidence
blasted, men do not put their money into
new enterprises, and consequently those
who are already established in any busi-
ness have things NIL their own way with
what business is left to them. They have
no fear of competing rivals to kill their
trade when the demand Is light.
The cotton tie trust acted on this
knowledge.
