TARIFF AND THE TRUSTS.

Watson's Magazine is regarded as the cor
rect exponent of Populistss tenets. The par
ty doctrines are held to be reflex of Mr..
son I ask that this dissent from your attitude
on the tariff question have place in your col
umns. The Populist party does not believe
that the tariff is the mother of trusts.
We do not believe that an Englishman,
Frenchman, Dutchman or Canadian loves us
any better than does an average American.
IF we permit criminal combination, the few
exploiters of things produced or manufac-
tured abroad will become members of such
combinations. Indeed such is now the case.
A large percentage of these same foreigners
are now members Of our great trust organi-
cations. If our Ports of Entry were entirely
free these vendors from abroad are shrewd
enough to see the advantage of association
with Carnegie, Havemeyer, Mccormick, Ar
mour, ct al, ominus genus, and would soon
chant the slogan, "Charge all the traffic will
bear.'
Combinations in restraint of trade or to
throttle competition must be declared a Sc
rious felony, and their promoters drastically
punished by our criminal courts to break up
the evil. I doubt the success of even this
policy Many Of them are so powerful and
well entrenched that it will require, in all
probability, the competition of the whole
people to break their power Notably among
them, the Banks, Railroads, Petroleum and
Coal. J. M. LONDON.

found. If ten such loafers be set down as
the average number of 1oafers around each
dive (and this is not an extravagant estlmate)
we have 500 loafers constantly congregated
in and around them. These are now conspic-
uous by their absence Corners that had be-
come notorious on account of the collections
Of loafers and bar room buns constantly to
be encountered there, are now deserted by
this class and as orderly as other corners
This has been a. pleasant effect of the new
order which has brought out general favorable
comment.
What has become Of this small army Of
loafers, not less than 500 in number has not
yet developed. Possibly they have found new
haunts, and possibly in these new haunts they
may be even more vicious than in their old
But it is also possible that, their usual re-
sorts or rendezvous places having been broken
up, many of them have sought employment
Time must develop what has become of this
vicious element which the closing of the bar
rooms has deprived of their accustomed loung-
ing places. At present We know only that
this army of bar room loafers has disap-
peared
Of the evil effects which it was feared by
some would follow the suppression Of the bar
rooms none have materialized to an extent
to be appreciate. Many of the places occu-
pied by them are vacant, but this was inevita-
BILE when they continued the business up to the
last minute However, quite number Of
these stores are already occupied by businesses
in other lines, and others are being rapidly
changed to adapt them to other business. The
old saloon signs are gradually disappearing,
and the indications now are that within req
sonably short time there will be no indication,
either by vacancy or remaining signs hung
out on the front, Of any of the numerous
family Of old saloons.
These are the visible effects Of prohibition
after four days operation under the law which
instituted it. It is really most encouraging
