Trusts and Tariff.
ditor REPUBLICAN,:

We often hear it stated that
the tariff on all goods, the price
of which is controlled by a
practical monopoly, should be
cntirely abolished, the object be-
ing to curb the trusts.
The removal of this tariff
makes the United States a Free
Trade country in all those lines
of industry in which we now
have trusts. In considering this
method as curb upon trusts we
must first see what would be the
effect of such a measure, and
secondly, would it, if adopted,
curb the trusts in any manner.
But in this issue space permits
only discussion of its effects.
In the early industrial history
of America it was absolutely inn
possible for many lines of indus
try to be carried on, against
foreign competition, except for
the aid given by tariff. This
fact is well borne out by the
cotton, wooden and steel indus
tries which were entirely UNI
developed, in spite of the many
efforts, until after this protection
was given. 1t is of the highest
Importance that every industry
should be sufficiently protected
in some manner to enable Ameri-
can producers to compete success
fully with foreign producers.
This may be natural protection
and consist of our advantages in
securing raw material or in the
process of carrying on the in
dustry itself. But should we not
have these advantages for pro-
lection we must give protection
by means of tariff or we kill the
entire industry in this country.
Similar measures, though not
so drastic, in the past have al
ways proven too radical.
The Democrats, in 1888,
gradually reduced tariff to a
twenty per cent level, giving a
previous notice of nine years of
its coming, which entirely over
came the business world, and
yet it was only a moderate
change as compared to the one
now under consideration. This
change in tariff lasted but two
months and it was found neces-
sary to replace the tariff, higher
than before.
The tariff reduction of 1857
with the following crisis had the
same experience. If we could
conceive of the abolition OF
tariff without disastrous results
there is yet valid reason why
it is too radical, and this is be-
cause of vested rights. Not only
have large trusts, but innumer-
able small concerns have beer
established with reliance upor
our tariff for the needed protec
ton and their existence depend;
entirely upon it. We do not
complain of measure which il
simply radical, because any
measure, which will curb thu
trusts, will at first seem radica
to us. But this, we say, is toe
radical. Such a revolutionary
measure would upset the entir
business of the country, and b
the direct cause of precipitatint
an immediate crisis.
In the first place, it would de
stroy our entire credit system
because confidence, upon which
all credit is based would be en-
tirely lost. All former encour
lagement given by tariff would b.

 It's an insult to your intelI;s gence for dealer to endeavor to palm of upon you some nostrum of unkno17s cOmpositiOn in place of Dr. Pierce world-farned medicines which are OF KNOWN COMPOSITION.

OBSOLETE COINAGE.
Something About the Picayunc and
 Piastre, Escalin and GourtIe.

Ilere IS a growing tendency to re- ceive as necessarily correct any arti- cles issued from cities which possess great libraries, but those who live in States far from these centers must constantly find that peculiarities well known to them are ignored by the nn- fortunate writers, who think that these nbraries must possess all possible in- formation. The editors of publications have neither the time nor the lxnowl- edge to notice these deficiencies, and so titles rlatng to America are al- lowed to cover material which has been used over and over again for many centuries. In a recent publoa. ton of a scientific society on obsoles- cent names of coins those words wbicI, nave held currency for centuries in New England are treated at length and few lines are devoted to the bit and picayune.
 Loulsianians know, in this connec- tion, of three words, ignored bv tbe writer of the article: Piastre. escali,, and gourde, These occupy a very diff terent position in historical stsey The word goprde which was equivalent to the dollar, may be considered very nearly obsolete, it being heard only rarely on the tongue of very old color ed people. It was brought here from san Domingo, and was in full force among the large number of refnraes rom that island and their descend- ants and dependente i,n to 1otn
 The position of escalin, the eighth part ol piastre, is midway between the two other words, It came here With the spaniards, for 1t is in use in an account book of Julian Poydras hept at ms plantation on Fausse Riv- lere m Polnte Coupe parish, and was III use commonly among Freneh-speak- ing people as the translation of all bit up 10 1880. It is still used occasionally
