FATHER OF THE TRUSTS.
Lack Of Compositions Would Prove Their
Most Potent Ally.

Lack Of Compositions Would Prove Their
Most Potent Ally. .
That the tariff is the father of the
trusts has been asserted by Mr.. Have
meyer, but it has been disproved. That
prosperity was the father of the trusts
has also been asserted. Prosperity has
been the cause of the organization of a
large number Of trusts, but it is the
enemy of trusts that attempt to adj
vance prices and restrict the price of la
Dor. This has been illustrated in the
past few months to the satisfaction of
all who have kept posted in regard to
the progress of trusts and combina-
tions. No sooner than an industrial
combination has attempted to advance
prices beyond reasonable profit than
competition has sprung up. When
good times" prevail capital is on the
alert for opportunities for investment,
and when any combination like the
Sugar trust begins to make large prof.
its by advancing prices. this capital
is available for the organization Of
competing corporations, which bring
down prices to reasonable basis.
In tn lard times brought about by
the Wilson free trade law the trusts
enjoyed immunity from such competi-
ton, for there was no money to invest
in the building of competitive mills
and factories.
Then the trusts easily controlled the
markets, while now at the first evidence
of unusual profits there springs up a
competitor which serves as a balance
wheel to prices.
These facts show that hard times are
the best aid to trusts, and that neither
the tariff nor prosperity are to be held
responsible for the crimes that are
committed in the names of the trusts.

Gun fighting used to be AN expert
science in the West" said a visitor
from Texas, land men became skilled
in it, just as they lnight in any Of the
hanGicrafts. The great point was TO
get quick action and the fellow who
drew and fired first generally won the
fight. That fact led to all sorts Of
schemes for pulling a gun with the
least possible delay. One of the easiest
was the shoulder holster which con-
sisted of strap suspending the pistol
just over the left breast. Carrying a
derringer in the pocket of sack coat
and firing through the cloth without
drawing was a trick that cost many
man his life. At last it became diff
cult for a man with his hands in his
coat pocket to get near enough to a
victim to make sure of hitting him, and
frontier genius invented a variation.
He simply cut the right pocket out Of
an alpaca coat and carried his gun in
holster at his hip. Another trick
was to carry the pistol up the sleeve.

Free Trade and Protection.

Under free trade the masses must
get poorer, because they get less en-
ployment. II our protective system is
so terrible, and their free-trade system
so beneficial, why do foreigners flock
here in such numbers? How many OF
them return to their free country ?
Did workingmen ever emigrate to a
free-trade country? Where are the
best markets in the world? Where the
people have the most money to spend.
Sir Robert Peel was not protection
list when he uttered the words that
England must make her people work
cheaper, if they controlled the markets
Of the world, than the laboring people
of the country where they sold their
goods. He was the free-trade leader
of England. but was manly enough to
acquaint the English people Of what
they had to contend with before they
made the leap to policy which has
proven disastrous to them.-American

How the Tariff Has Thrown Opoe NOU
Harketa
It is admitted that the farmers are
more prosperous now than in any pre-
vious year Of the decade. This state
ment or fact is resented by the free
traders, who insist that the prosperity
Of the farmers is in TO way related I'd
the tariff and that the heavy sales OF
exports of agricultural products are
not necessarily an index to the PROS
perity of the country at large. But II
the farmers are prosperous they arc
heavier purchasers than when farming
is depressed. They purchase more ag-
ricultural implements, more clothing.
more organs and pianos, more furni-
ture for their houses, and more build
ing materials for new houses, and in
so doing contribute to the demand that
induces activity in all manufacturing
establishments.
In an interview published in this
newspaper recently it was shown that
the tariff on Canadian lumber opened
American lumber manufacturers. 1t
was shown also that in spite of the ad.
vance in prices farmers and others are
doing so much more building that
there is a greatly increased home de-
mand. In addition to this it was
stated that the foreign demand for
American lumber was never SO grea!
as now. Most of the lumber shipped
to Europe now is sold before it reaches
the point Of consignment, and prices
Of. American lumber have advanced
from So to Sc per 1000 feet in the last
two years. The tariff on Canadian
lumber threw open the New England
markets to western lumbermen and
prices advanced. At the same time
new markets in Europe were opened
to American lumber and prices ada
vanced there. These facts tell their
own story-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Splendid Showing of the Dingley Law
Confounds Free Traders.
At the risk of appearing to display
excessive brutality toward a foolish
and ignorant contemporary, we invite
attention to the government finances
Tor September. The revenues have been
60 large that the month probably will
show surplus of $1,000, 900. and the
FIRST quarter of the fiscal year a sur
plus of more than $4,000, o0C.
Possibly our readers may recall that
at the end of July, the first month OF
the fiscal year, We took the New York
World to task for the most remark
able exhibition of stupidity about gov
eminent finances or the most reckless
perversion Of facts which We had OBJ
served in a long time. What the
World did was to take the July def
icit, and, using that as a monthly
average Of deficit, figure out and SOL
EMMY predict for the fiscal year def
lett of more than $10O, O00, 900. At that
time we explained to our ignorant con-
temporary that July deficits always
were enormous owing to the excessive
expenditures which the government is
compelled to make in the opening
month of its business year. Also, we
