There is something peculiar
about how even free trade works
in the interest of the trusts. For
instance the Standard Oil Co., hav-
ing practically a monopoly of the
oil industry in this country is with
out tariff protection here. In En-
gland there is NO tariff against It's
products either, but there is one
against the products of competing
oil producers there. Mr.. Arch
bold has admitted on the witness
stand that England admits Stan
dard Oil duty free in return for
tariff favors granted by this coon'
try to English products. When
congress .Rets busy revising the
tariff it should give a little allen'
ton to the Standard Oil Co.'s
scheme, which seems to be built
upon the plan that ''catches EN-
both coming and going"
