The suits which will be begun against
the so-called beef trust are based upon the
decision of the Supreme Court in the case
of the Addyston Pipe Company. a combina-
ton of minor companies which entered
into pool for control of the trade and the
distribution of the product among retailers.
The managers parceled out the territory
among the several companies and made
price. No goods of one company could be
purchased at any price to be delivered in
the territory assigned to another company.
The Supreme Court decided years ago that
this arrangement was a combination in re-

duty. The result was a glutted market
and low prices. Specific duties were inn
posed by the Dingley law. and as the re-
suit even eggs were given satisfactory
value in Indiana cities. Just now the prices
Of such articles are high because of the
half less than half crop of last year.
Abundance may come next year, when,
even with the greater demand, prices Will
shrink without Canada's crop. And for
this giving up OF a market Canada gives
nothing in return. Indiana farmers pay
taxes TO support government. and they
are large consumers Of the products Of the
factory. Such being the case, the Journal
believes they have a right TO an advantage
in the home market. The giving away of
the home farmers market to Canada is
present to Canadian farmers. who are
often nearer our larger cities. who till
cheaper soil and employ cheaper labor.
If Canada's friends in the United States
are so anxious for what by figure of
speech, they call reciprocity. why do they
not require that Canada shall pledge, be-
fore negotiations begin. that the duty on
American merchandise shall be the same
as the duty on British merchandise, in
stead of % per cent. higher? This discrimi-
nation against the United States is never
mentioned by the advocates of so-called
! reciprocity, probably because they know
that Great Britain. which makes Canada's
trade treaties, will not consent TO equal
duties on merchandise imported into Can
ada. The advantage of 25 per cent. i'm favor
of Great Britain is equivalent to a protec-
tive duty of % per cent for the merchan-
disc of free-trade England when imported
into Canada.
