Ernest L. Harris ia D. s. consular
agent at Elbenstock, Germany. He is
a republican. In his last report he has
the following paragraph:
"a few years ago six of the largest
German glass factories formed a trust
with head Offices at Cologne. The
German tariff on foreign-made glass
has enat led this ring to acquire such
a monopoly Of the eale of glass and
glassware in Germany that it can sell
to the home purchasers at bigger prices
than are DEN anded for the 9
article Abroad
There is no doubt that certain
American monopolies find their bull
wark in the protectiye- tariff, and that
the consumer suffers for it the came
way as the German. This republican
testimony as to high tariff being the
shelter of monopoly is very pertinent
at this time.

There was period of low wages,
low prices, closed mills, idle labor.
and general depression, from 1878 to
1878, and another in the early eight
les. Both periods under republican
administrations and republican tariff
laws. Few intelligent people these
days believe that the panic of 1893
was caused by the democratic victory
Of 1892. That bugaboo will do for the
kindergarten, perhaps.
