What do the free traders do now
Instead Of admitting that they were
wrong in 1890, when they shouted
themselves hoarse against the Nc
Kinley law, they are now shoulder
ing forward aud shouting as loudly
as ever, with the object Of attracting
public attention Their cry now Is
that the tariff is a trust and Is build
ing up great monopolies which gouge
the people. A comparison Of the
present price Of tim plate with the
price which Americans paid whez
they had to send abroad for j, proves
that the consumers are getting their
tin plate for less than il used 20 cost.
From that standpoint, therefore, the
tariff is good thing. Moreover the
tin plate is now made in this country,
by American labor, which keeps
large amount Of money in circulation
here, and incidentally helps directly
or indirectly every class OF the com.
mnuity. From this standpoint also,
the tariff Is good thing. But does
the tariff build mp a monopolys How
can ii, when it protects all Americans
who desiie 10 20 into husinessy 1t
encourages competition between
Americans, while shielding Ameri-
cans from foreign competition.
From every standpoint that admits
a broad view, the tariff is good
thing. People who talk OF the pro-
teetive tariff as promoter OF trusts
shut their eyes TO what Is going on
in England where there is no pTosec.
tive tariff, bnt where trust organiza-
ton had its rise and has gone forward
on scale that dwarfs what has hap
pened in that direction in the United
States Every American who to stops
think ought to be proof against de,
ception by the free traders who claim
that protection fosters trust-. For
by stopping TO think it is readily re.
called that the trnst fever in this
eountry was caught from England,
the first promoters here being in
most cases Englishmen, and the cap
ital behind their undertakings be
longing to English syndicates."

they were talking about in 1890, aud
they don't know what they are talk
