Sioux City Tribune: The New York
Tribune is becoming peeyish and out Of
temper in its discussion Of the question
OF trusts in free trade England. Its
position Ia that those who deny that
trusts-the same sort OF trusts We have
in the United 5tates-do not exist in
England do not know ANYTHING, there
now. 1t ought to follow that the
New YORK Tribune knows a good deal
about the subject, but although 1t in
dulges in columns OF editorial, it
only succeeds In demonstrating that it
is an adept at dodging the real point Of
discussion aud keeping it in the back
ground. The Tribune would like to have
one newspaper like the New York Tri-
bune face and discuss the real point in
this trust-in-England controversy. There
are corporations in England; there are
combinations in England for the conduct
of business; there are trusts in England
which make an equitable division OF the
profits of several firms which are parties
to the understanding. But there is not
a solitary trust in England which is able
to monopolize its products and fix prices
for 1t to the consumer above point
which is allowed by open competition
with the world. Is not this plain enough
to the New York Tribune, and has 1T not
enough intelligence to know, or enough
frankness to admit that it knows, that
this one thing the robbery Of the con-
sumner behind a tariff wall which pre-
vents outside competition the
trust evil in the United States, makes it
changing worthy combination and CO.
operation into gross abuse Of privilege?
| This newspaper has time and again
admitted that combination is inevitable,
that it is a mark Of latter day progress,
but If it is not to become menace to
the rights Of the people, drain upon
their resources and a discouragement to
their thrift. the prices of its products
must be determined by competition with
the world, and the abundance of its pro-
ducts by the demand. Herein lies the
only safety to the public in Industrial
combination; such situation does not
exist in the United States, but it does in
England. In the United States the trusts
extort artificial profits from the con-
sumner and restrict the output at pleas.
ure; in England they do nothing of the
sort, simply because they cannot. In
lodging this point and charging the
free traders with lack Of frankness the
New York Tribune plays beam against
the free trade mote.
