CURE FOR THE TRUSTS

In Mr.. Taft's speech of acceptance

The tariff in number of Schedules
exceeds the difference between the cost
of production of such articles abroad
and al home, including reasonable
proht to the American producer. The
excess over that difference serves no
useful purpose. but offers a temptation
to those who would monopoliZe the pro-
duction and sale of such articles in
this country TO profit by the excessive
rate"

pretty skyrockets and sputtering crack
ers. Besides being an expert on noise
he is well up on the tariff. His trust

False Economics.
JESSE F. ORION.

In the present hard times doubtless
many a manufacturer feels that he
could use little more protection"
But were not the hard times caused
largely by the protected interests ex-
hausting the purchasing power of
American consumers by their monop-
oily prices? To put on more protective
duties to cure the effects of hard times
would be like the policy of some rail-
road managers to raise transportation
rates for the purpose of helping bust
ness.

1t is now the stand pat claim that
the tariff Should guarantee "reasona-
