FACT VS.. THEORY.
British Free Traders Staggered by the
WorkIns- of TIE ProtecAtve POLICE,

British Free Traders Staggered by the
workIns- of TIE Protective PolIo0.
The trspd Of Thought in England re-
sarding THE advantages of the policy
Of protection is indicated by the fol-
lowing editorial paragraph in a recent
issue Of the Shehleld Telegraph:
President McKiniey's message to
congress will be read with great in
terest. At the very outset it contains a
statement calculated to stagger our free
traders. One of their favorite theories
is that protective duties kill a coun-
try's export trade. Well, the United
States are indulginG at present in
about as stiff protective tariff as
anybody need want to live under; yet
President Mckinley was able to inform
congress that the commerce of the
country was in state of uneXampled
prosperity IL fact the imports and
exports were the largest ever known
in the history Of the United States,
while the exports alone for 1899 ex-
ceeded by more than billion dollars
the exports and imports combined for
lie year 1870. If the protective tariffs
strangle trade, we could do with a lit
tie of the same kind OF strangling on
this side Of the herring pond" even
though our own trade statistics just at
present are not OF the kind to grun-
be at
Much has occurred in the past two
and half years, since the Dingley
tariff went into effect. that is "calcu-
lated to stagger" free traders every
where. The Sheffield editor is among
those who have begun to think Sc
riously and deeply about the question
of the potency of free trade to promote
and the tendency of protection to de-
strOy countrys export trade 1t is
case where an ounce of actual fact is
put in the scale opposite a ton OF
theory, and the ounce outweighs the
ton.

England, since the general effect of
these industrial amalgamations is to
reduce the cost of manufactured arti-
cles for the benefit of consumers.
There is, however. a growing feeling
of public indignation over the ex-
cesses and Irregularities of stock pro-
noting and the lack of efficient safe
guards for the protection of share
owners"
II England, with strong central
government, finds it difficult to draft
legislation which will prevent trusts, it
is easy to comprehend the greater diff
Guilty in the United States. where it is
possible TO incorporate them under the
laws OF any one state, which may legis-
late in their favor and with whose
power to do so the federal government
cannot Interfere and against whose
action the other states cannot effec-
lively egislate.-Cincinnati Times

How Monopoly Was Broken.


The free trade papers which are find
ing so much consolation in Mr.. Grif-
| fith's testimony regarding the profits
OF tin plate manufacture under the re-
cent tcombinatiOn, lose sight of that part
of his statement in which he said that
at the time of the passage of the Nc
Klnley tariff bill and for some time
previous the price of plate was $5.65 a
box. At that time all the plate used
in this country was made in Wales,
and the duty was the same as it was ON
sheet iron. In other words, the low
duty gave the British manufacturers a
monopoly which enabled them to OBJ
tain $5.65, against the present price of
$4.65. Probably much of the advance
in plates is due to the advance in steel,
which is from rs to 100 per cent. The
probability is that if there were no
is on the steel of which the plates are
made, outsiders could not regain the
American markets, because our manu-
facturers have learned the business,
and moreover, have introduced ma
chinery which cheapens the cost. 1t
would, however, be we'll for congress
to consider this matter, and if there is
a combination to prevent the purchase
of machinery by outside parties, put
that machinery on the free list for
time. After all, the public may rest
assured that if there is profit of even
1r
plates, it will not be long until inde-
pendent competitors will find ways to
operate mills and put their goods upon
the market. When they do, the COM
bination, which must pay interest and
dividends on bonds and stock repre-
senting four times the amount for
which new factories can be built, will
be the loser in the competition.-In-
dianapolis Und) Journal.

TRUTH AS TO TRUSTS.
An Economic Evolution IN M Manner
Due to Tariff Laws.

An Economic Evolution IN No Manner
Due to Tariff Laws.
The purpose or the Democracy next
year to veil their attack upon the
tariff, as they did in 1892, under the
guise of al antitrust cry, is daily be-
coming more apparent. Tie fact that
the tariff has little to do with the
trusts is q matter OF no consequence to
the Democracy, for that party is never
hampered by facts when it is given a
shibboleth which it believes will en-
able it to score victory. The truth
that trusts are independent of tariff is
shown by the fact that in free trade
England they have had a growth and
assumed proportions unknown in this
country, thus evidencing that they are
an economic evolution in no manner
due to tariff laws. A recent cable dis
patch to the New York Tribune, dis
cussing the trusts in England, says:
Free trade offers no safeguard
against them. English law is power
less to regulate them, for it is OBJ
viously i1lpracticabie to prevent man
ufacturers from carrying out arrange
ments for selling their own properties
to themselves and managing their bust
ness more economically by reducing
their expense account and the pressure
of competition. There is no outcry
cgainst trusts and combinations in
The Colorado statesman., 1900-01-27

AS matter of fact, no party does
question the policy of protection.
The Democrats were forced to aban-
don that issue in 1896, because they
say that they could not carry ten states
on it. Protection is stronger than ever
before in this country. The Dingley
bill was passed in 1897 by a senate not
Republican, and the results are an in
dorsement of that policy. The open
door in China does not mean free
trade. England, Germany and Russia
are perfectly welcome to lay tariffs on
imports in the territory they have
taken from China so that they do not
Interfere with the treaties we have
made with the Chinese government.
These newspapers might learn from
Mr.. Bryan that there is no hope of
votes in fighting protection in the
United States. See how careful he is
not to antagonize that policy. He will
not even recognize free trade as a rem
edy for trusts Mr.. Bryan is a pretty
good practical politician and he does
not intend to put himself in position
to be run over by the protection band
wagon. There is no longer an anti
protection party in this country,
though these dreamy free-trade theo-
rists seem unable to grasp the fact

Rapid Transit.

1t is conceded that there has never
been known in the world anything
quite so fast as the modern railway
train, but fast as that is, prosperity,
with the protective tariff as the pro-
pelling power, has quite outstripped it.
None of our railroads can keep pace
with it, and from all over the country
come reports of scarcity of cars, of
freight receipts too great to be han
died with the desired promptness, of
overtaxed capacity, of crowding every
where. The railroads will need to look
out for their laurels.
The Colorado statesman., 1900-01-27
KepubI leans and Trusts.

The Supreme Court has decided in
every case in which unlawful combina-
tions are attempted in violation of in
terstate commerce that congress has
power to legislate. 1t has, therefore
sustained the views of Harrison, Sher-
man and leading Republicans which
are embodied in the Sherman law and
has rejected the doubts of Mr.. Cleve-
land and his associates, which seemed
to prevent the two entirely Democratic
congresses which followed the con-
gress enactinG the Sherman law from
taking any action hostile to trusts. In
this latest decision (the Addystone
case) the court has declared without
reservation that congress has power 10
legislate against all combinations of
manufacturers which are in restraint
of commerce between the states. And
now President Mckinley urges con-
gress, which has the highest assurance
of its right to legislate against trusts
prejudicial to interstate commerce, to
enact further antitrust laws.-In-
dianapolis Journal.

1t Has Always Worked That wax.

All parties in this country believe in
tariff taxation for certain purposes.
The Democratic party is for tariff for
revenue, and the Republican party for
tariff for protection. But Mr.. McKin-
ley's imperial policy, if permanently
adopted, will destroy BOTH Columbus

But you have probably noticed that
when Democracy had an opportunity
to show what it could do for tariff
for revenue" it only succeeded in pro-
ducing a deficit in revenue.-Mans-

Status OF Protection.

Those little Democratic papers which
are worrying about the fancied incon-
sistency of protective tariff in Amer
lea with the demand by our govern
ment for an open door" in China,
and which are predicting a Republican
change of front to free trade. have but
an imperfect grasp of the status of the
tariff question in the United States.

FREE SCHOLARSHIP.

The competition for the free scholar
ships offered by Ohio State University
is constantly growing stronger, and
doubtless when the benefits are thor
oughly understood, each one of the 88
scholarships offered each year will be
taken. One scholarship is offered an
nually in each county of Ohio. They
are good for two years and cover all
college dues, except gymnasium fee
of one dollar per term. These scholar
ships may be granted to any young
man who wishes to study the sciences
underlying and the practice of agricul-
ture, horticulture or veterinary medi-
cine or to any young woman who wish
es to study domestic science and art.
Appointments to the free scholar
ships are made by the County Agricul-
tural Societies. Where such societies
do not exist the officers of the Farmers
Institutes are allowed to make the ap-
pointment. Persons wishing to obtain
one of these scholarships, should apply
at once to the Secretary of the County
Agricultural Society. An illustrated
catalogue containing full information
concerning courses of study, require.
ments for admission, etc., may be OBJ

81 certainly could do as much good
that way as any,"
He was silent again. They had
reached place where the road branch
ed off to 1.-THE Forks" They turned
and went back toward the town. When
they reached the first houses, they took
the street which led past the ruins of
the church and parsonage. They SEEM
ed to do this without saying to each
other that they would. Their walk
back had been in silence.
When they reached the corner where
the church and parsonage had stood,
they stopped and looked at the ruins.
These were mournful, as such ruins
always are. The foundation line Of
the church building looked pitifully
small to Malcom as he thought Of the
little congregations that had so often
met there for worship or the prayer
service. And still he could not even
there as he viewed what seemed like
I failure in life, he could not shut out
of his sight the picture of Dorothy and
himself as they had gone into the
church that first night of their ar
rival in Conrad three years before and
had there made together their solemn
promise to redeem the lost of Conrad.
Were they about to break that prom
Use because difficulties had come into
the struggle? Was it possible that
they were going to declare themselves
beaten in the attempt to overcome?
Were they about to choose the easy,
comfortable physical life and shun the
agony of the spiritual conflict with
evil forces? Were they about to run
away from duty as towards? Was it
duty to remain in Conrad? How about
his duty to the temperance conflict?
The Bellefontaine Republican. [volume] (Bellefontaine, Logan County, Ohio) 1855-1905, 1900-07-17

We're they about to break that prOmtses
If he had any real strength that way,
ought he to abandon the cause at this
critical time? But how could Dorothy
live this life of privation? How could
he go on with his meager salary, hu-
inflated by being in debt to the trades
people and dependent for his living on
the spasmodic giving of the churches

sure, but left the Home Missionary Of

which sometimes were SO clearly in

ALI this and more crowded into NAL
CONS mind as he stood there that night
by the ruins of his church and home.
The same thoughts were also in the
mind of Dorothy, and with 1t all it
seemed, too, as if to both of them came
half suppressed doubt as to the
course Malcom was on the point of
taking.
Don't you feel that we have tried
our best to keep that promise we made
that night in the churchY Dorothy
asked, as she nervously pushed her
foot against one of the stones at the
corner of the foundation.
Malcom did not answer at first. Then
he said evasively, as If he had been
thinking of something else. "rm sure l
can do as much with my pen as l can
in church"
Dorothy did not look up or speak for
some time. Then she said with rather
eager emphasis:
''Why not write at once to the editor
and tell him that you will accept his
offer?'
81 WILL" said Malcolm in a low tone.
They stood a little while longer by
the ruins, and then turned away and
went home. Somewhere in the great
spaces of the infinite to Malcom and
| Dorothy it almost seemed as II a sigh
from an angel Of light breathed over
the sleeping town that lay on the black
ened surface of the prairie. What they
felt was the inner uneasiness of spirit
that the promise they had made three
years before had been, If not broken
at least not lived out as it might have
been. In Malcom's heart as he said to
Dorothy, 81 WILL" there was a distinct
uncertainty Of feeling. There was a
lack of spontaneous joy at his action
which he knew well enough meant that
somewhere he had not been true to the
best that was in him.
Nevertheless in the morning he wrote
the letter in answer to the editor, ac
cepting the position and asking him t(
give him time to sever his relations
with the church, etc.
He took the letter and went out early
after breakfast to mail it. He woulG
hand in his resignation at the weekday
church meeting and write to the super
intendent later in the day.
He was thinking it all over as ht
neared the main street, when a farm
wagon drove up noisily and stopped
near him.
'Oh, Mr.. Kirk, will you come righ
out to The Forks with me? Phil is IL
terrible way and has been calling TO
you all night"
1t was Mrs. Barton, and her thin
eager face looked down at Malcom a
she sat there looking at him anxiously.
