HOW HE MADE AN ENEMY.
Old Gentleman Tells Of Perfidy Of q
Former Friend.

Former Friend.
Yes" said the old man. Smith
was my bosom friend when we were
boys at school, but he became my
worst enemy. We sat on the same
form. ate together. slept together, and
shared each others Joys and sorrows.
when we grew older our parents
sent us to the university together.
where our friendship II possible, grew
stronger. We took our degrees to-
gether. and. to preserve the friendship
of our boyhood days. went into part
nership.
I'VE were more than brothers and
were always together. and IL was
while attending social party that
we both met and fell in love with
the same girl
Our rivalry was friendly one, and
for some time none could tell which
was the favored one. One night my
chum came to me in his old friendly
way and said
John. can see that IL should
prove tae winner you would suffer
deeply, therefore | have decided to
turn over my interest in the business
to you and leave for some new co1n-
try
"Of course, | erdeavored to per-
suade him not to go, but he persisted
and carried out his plan. He went to
Australia. and in three months | mar
ried the girl"
But how did Smith become your
enemy?" inquired one of the listeners
'By not letting me go to Australia
instead" snapped the old man; and
they all understood.

Trusts Not Dependent on the Tariff.

In his campaign speeches Congress-
Enthusiastically vigorous fashion the
Democratic assertion that the protective
tariff is responsible for the trusts. The
idea that the adjustment of the tariff
would rid the country of great combi-
nations of capital is easily shown to be
absurd when it is pointed out that the
most burGepsome trust now in this
country the anthracite coal trust. deals
with an article on which there is not
che cent of import duty. The stand
ard Oil trust was one of our first trusts
AMI is one of the greatest, but it is not
in any way benefited or protected by Il
tariff duty. The ice trust which was 50
oppressive in the great cities, q summer
or two ago, had no tariff protection to
help it.
To abolish the tariff or articles made
by trusts or alleged trusts, would in
Mr. Littlefelds opinion, drive out of
business al firms competing with the
trust and then probably drive the trust
out of business. IF the reduction of
repeal" Mr.. Littlefleld says, did not
embarrass the Independent competitors
business then it would have no effect
upon the trust. and TO invoke such
legislation would be idle. In one case
it would be imperative and in the other
the effect would be the reverse of that
desired. demonstrating that under no
condition is the revision Of the tariff
remedy"
Trusts or syndicates operate in all
countries. They are quite as numerous
in proportion to population in free
trade Great Britain as in Germany or
any other country. Those foreign
trusts would sell here below cost when
necessary, as they have done in the
past. They would force wages in the
United States below the foreign level or
else they would control the market
But our laws could have no effect
abroad unless wages were forced down
so as TO enable an American working
man to produce cheaper than his for
eign competitor. But low as wages
now are abroad they should 90 still
lower, and 4 miserable condition of
affairs would follow. If our tariff
duties are now too high they should be
lowered, but the trusts cannot be put
Gown by tariff tinkering.
