TARIFF POSTERS TRUSTS.
Artificial BoIstering of the Tariff Has
Made America the Home
of Trusts.

The protective tariff league, whose
publication bureau is just now espe'
cially active in denouncing any repub'
Hcans who favor a revision of the tariff
is also informing its devotees that
there are trusts in free trade England
and therefore it cannot be protection
that breeds trusts, OF fosters them; Sc
that something else must be looked
for that is the mother of trusts"
This view of the matter is comment
ed on by the Washington Times, which
says: 1.-The champions of the tariff.
pampered trusts in the United States
have been in the habit of meeting the
demand for the removal of duties from
trust-controlled products by pointing
to England, where, it is said, there
are many trusts f1ourishing un-
der the banner of free trade.
That sort of argument may be salts
factory to those who are anxious to be
satisfied, but it ought not to be to one
who is honestly seeking a remedy for
what is ~undeniably a very great evil.
IF the claim has ever been made
that there are and can be no trusts at
all without the aid of the tariff, the
claim has been thought1essly urged by
only a few not very well-informed peo-
pie. Large capital and combinations
in business are nearly always an adj
vantage to those who combine. OBJ
viously an individual with a million dol
lars capital can make many profitable
turns IN business that are impossible
to a man whose capitals only ST. 5000 or
$4,000. This is true in England as it is
anywhere else.
But the circumstance that large
capital has an advantage in and OF
itself does % prove that it is wise
to increase the advantage by relieving
1T OF all competition and giving it a
complete monopoly by tariff laws
which operate directly to that end.
To illustrate: If an English trust
unreasonably advances the price to
the consumer, foreign goods will at
once come in and bring the price
down again. In the United States,
the price may be set up 25 or
30 per cent. and still the for
eign goods cannot compete for the
protection of the American consumer.
The result is that lie English trusts
are forced to content themselves
with profits no greater than flow nat
urally from the advantageous work
ing or their larger capital; while the
American trust not only has this adj
vantage, but a yer much greater one
in the tariff which enables them to
charge the American consumer %
or 80 per cent. more than the same
goods are worth in the worlds mar
lsets. The man who does not see the
difference between the two cases
must be either willfully blind or most
woefully stupid. 1t is the artificial
bolstering of the tariff that has liter
ally made the United States the home
of the trusts, and has swollen them
to such proportions that the greatest
combinations in england look like
babies by comparison.

It MAKES THEM UNEASY.
American Competition Worries the
Bankers and Manufacturers
of Europe.
BALANCE OF TRADE AGAINST THEM.
"They Perceive" Says Former Sena-
tor Washburn, HThat We Are just
Getting Ready'-The Power OF
American Reprisals Would Be
Terrible, Says london Outlook.

London, Aug. 25.-Former Senator
w. D.. Washburn, of Minneapolis,
prior to sailing for home on the
American line steamer St. Louis, said
to a representative of the press that
he had found considerable u~neasiness
among the bankers and manufacture
ers on the continent concerning
American competition.
They perceive" he added. that we
are just getting ready, and in no re-
spect is it likely they can beat us in
the future. How long can Europe
stand to pay a balance of trade of
S650,00O, 900 a year, after all our Sc
curities are sent back? Some able con-
t~inental observers to whom L put the
inquiry were unable to answer. They
fear u.s."
Commenting on the fantastic" idea
of a commercial bond of the Eu-
ropean nations against the United
States, the Outlook says: "One might
as well try to hang a Venetian blind
over the sun as to try to exclude the
influence of American industries from
the world. For one thing, Great
Britain would be no party to the
bond. For another, the power of
American reprisals would be terrible.
Even now Germany is on the verge
of a struggle between classes, caused
by the proposed tariff Under the
German tariff Austria would suffer
grievously. 1t is not easy to see how
countries which are at issue with
themselves and each other, and whose
fiscal arrangements excite class
against class, could agree on a policy
against a commerce competitor

ceived his appointment he came to
Washington to receive instructions as
to his duties, and at that time Sec
rotary Gage took occasion to talk
with him on the subject of the duty
of public officials. He was cautioned
{ O avoid every temptation to wrong

extent the honor of the government

Gage explained that his predecessor
at Nogales had been displaced be-
cause of certain alleged violations of
the vicil-service laws and regulations,
and warned him that his administra-
ton of the office must be at all times
clean and above suspicion for his own
honor and that of the country.
The number of Chinese who have
bought their way into the United

ance of the Nogales officials is not
known, but it is believed to be large.
A special agent has been ordered to
Nogales to take charge of the Office il

The Coming Yacht Races.

New York, Aug. 25.-Professional
betting men are beginning to show a
keen interest in the coming interna-
tiona1 yacht race, and some men who
are inclined 10 give the long end to
the Shamrock. One of the most prom
inent of these sporting men is quoted
as saying that the men who make
bets are disguised with the trials of
the American boats, and that those
with the bank rolls don't like the
performances of the Constitution. He
has expressed the opinion that even
money bets on the race will prevail.

TRUSTS AFFECT EVERYBODY.
No Matter what His Occupation,
Every Workingman Ii OPP
pressed by Combines.

How do you like the trusts as far
as you have had to do with them?
If you are a farmer have you bought
any barbed wire or other trust pro-
duced article lately and have you reck-
oned how much tax you are paying
the trusts? If you are a railroad man
nave you been thrown out of en-
ployment or forced to seek another
field of labor by the combine the
railroads have entered upon? If you
are a storekeeper you have come in
contact with the oil trust, the sugar
trust, the cereal trust, the tobacco
trust and a good many others and
you find they are not only cutting
your profit but dictate what you shall
sell and where you shall buy.
If you are a clerk or a bookkeeper
you have found that the coal trust
and the beef trust are getting more
of your income han you can afford
and while they are paying millions
of profit, you are unable to save q
penny.
If you are a member of a labor
union you know what the trusts are
doing and that the steel strike is but
the beginning of an attempt to over
throw organized labor and then re-
duce wages. The cotton mill trust
has just reduced wages IA per cent.
The railroad combine is gradually
advancing rates, there is a dearth of
potatoes, they have raised the rates
on this necessity from the Northwest
to Chicago nearly 25 per cent. and
freight on coal has been advanced
i'll about the same proportion. These
advances are but the opening wedges
for the ultimate extortions that it is
possible for the trusts to force all
to pay. That they will be cautious
in making increased prices is also GER
tain, for they are managed by the
shrewdest men in the world. They
are now engaged in forcing their
goods into foreign markets at prices
averaging rs per cent. less than they
charge us at home. This they are
enabled to do through the protection
granted them by the tariff.

Washington, Aug 25.-Probably the
most important arrests ever made in
connection with the smuggling Of
Chinese across the Mexican border in
to the United States were made fri-
day in Arizona, when VIM. n. Hoey.
collected of customs at Nogales; B.
j. Jossey, an immigrant Inspector;
Frank How, a Chinaman living in No
gales, and another Chinaman living at
Clifton, Mex, just across the border
from Nogales, were taken into Gus
tody by special agents of the treas
ury and secret service = operatives.
Other arrests are expected TO follow
within a day or two. 1t was stated
h a with two or three exceptions the
whole customs and immigration adj
ministrations at Nogales are involved.
The Department Given a '"Tip."
Some time ago an official of the
treasury department having Nogales
as his headquarters, wrote the de-
partment that he had reason TO be-
lieve the official force at that point
vas corrupt, and that Chinese in
large numbers were being struggled
across the border fol- a consideration.
A secret service operative was sent
there at once, and plans laid to Sc
cure evidence against the persons I'M
der suspicion. Several Cinnamon were
furnished with money and sent on to
buy their way through the official
Gordon.
Accomplished without Difficulty.
This was accomplished without diff
fculty, the price demanded being
from $50 to $500. The secret service
men also arranged with n or two
employees, whose honesty had been
tested, to GO into the collectors office
at a certain time, n demand a share
of the money being received from
Cinnamon, and to be admitted into
the combination SO that they might
get their share of the proceeds of flu
ture deals. This vas reluctantly
agreed to, and considerable sums Of
money were handed over in the pres
ence and full hearing of a secret serv-
ice man, who had previously secreted
himself in a near by office closet.
Certificates With CabaIistic Mark.
The officials soon found hat China
men who presented a certificate
marked with the letter a were al
lowed to proceed without question,
while those having certificates that
did not bear this cabalistic mark
were turned back without ceremony.
Later on it was developed that the
letter "A'' on a certificate indicated
that the amount demanded had been
paid. Several Cinnamon were sent
through with the requisite A mark
on their certificates made by n of
the secret-service men. The utmosS
care and secrecy was maintained
from the first tt secure positive proof
against each man under suspicion. A
special United States attorney Will be
detailed to prosecute the persons ar

KUMALAE'S DEVIL
IS CAST OUT

With the full moon comes happiness
again to Representative Kumalae and
his young wife, for whom two months
'of welded life brought application for
divorce. Then came two months of
separation and now reconciliation.
The rapid changes in the marital re-
,lations of the Kumalaes have been the
result of temporary alteration on the
part of the young husband, according
to his story, and now that he is himself
again he sees great happiness ahead.
The application for absolute divorce
and handsome alimony on the part of
Mrs. Lena A. Kumalae had been set for
the November term, but yesterday
morning the suit was withdrawn.
When the suit was entered. with it's
tale of unusual cruelties on the part of
the young husband, dating from the
first week of the marriage, there was
"a mild sensation, and now there is
among the friends of the couple a sec
ond one.
Mr. Kumalae said last evening that
he could not tell why the suit was
Withdrawn. only that at 10 o'clock yes
terday morning he was called to the
office of Mrs. Kumalae's attorney. and
that there he saw a brief drawn. which
both signed. Kumalae paid the bin and
then all was as before. KumaIae says
the only reason he knows was that his
wife changed her mind. as she loves her
husband still. The lawyer withdrew the
suit and the pair separated TO meet
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1901-08-27

again and take up their life together
as before. This was done last evening.
Kumalae says that the trouble came
about in a strange manner For sever
al weeks before his marriage he WIS
subject TO violent headaches, which
within week after the ceremony de-
veloped attacks of uncomfortable
wrath AS these usually developed
when his wife was about they engen-
dered a fear in her and after standing
them for a few weeks she left for home
Kumalae says he did unaecountable
things while under the influence of
these fits, for once ne awoke to find
himself in one of PAINS cars. Other
instances of irrational conduct have
been cited, but all this is beside the
mark now, for the young wife has re-
turned to her husband.
Mr.. Kumalae is a good churchman,
and with his wife and a very good
friend is of opinion that, after being in
the Legislature awhile, he suddenly be
came possessed of q devil, which now
has been exercised. At least, he is
himself and he is happy in the knowl-
edge that he has the best wife in the
