WHOLE THEORY FALSE
TALK OF "sciENTIFIc PRoTEc.
TON" ALL NONSENSE.
Cu1tom House Figures Tell All That
Is Necessary to Know, as In the
Case Of tho Steel
Trust.

According to Republican doctrine. a
scientific protective tariff is one which
imposes duties equal to the excess OF
the cost OF production at home over
the cost abroad plus a reasonable prof
1t to the home producer.
IL we do not include the profit OF the
producer abroad In his cost OF produc-
ton. and II we can agree as to what
Is reasonable profit to the home
procucer, 1t may be admitted that a
tariff framed in accordance with this
rule would be much more tolerabie
than any we have had for century.
But 1t would not be scientific for rea-
sons like these:
l. 1t is not scientific to take from the
gains OF some producers to swell the
gains OF others. The above rule as
sumes that this is just in any case
where the cost of production is less
abroad than at home. But 1t is evil
IDENTIFY unjust and therefore unscien-
tific.
2. All commerce arises out OF the
fact that the people of every commu-
nifty can produce few things better
than any others, and can prosper only
by exchanging those few for such
other things as they want. The Re-
publican doctrine is at war with this
fact. 1t would induce some men to
produce things at loss by forcing
their self-supporting neighbors to
make up their losses with good profits
added. This is not science, but injus-
uce by act OF congress.
3. Practically II is impossible for a
commission to find out the difference
between cost at home and abroad. The
factors are too many and often too
obscure for that
4. For most purposes the custom
house returns supply the best scien-
tific data. When they show that any
industry-the steel industry, SAYS

The Trust Demands All.

The ultimate consumer" has pic
tuied himself as the sole victim Of the
trust system" and has imagined
that the dividends on watered stock
have flowed from the high prices
charged him. His view is narrow.
Among the charges against the wire
combine in the suits brought in New
York is this:
Raw materials were bought
at arbitrary and noncompetitive
prices. to be agreed upon. by said de-
PENDANTS, being prices lower than
those for which the respective corpo-
rations would be enabled to purchase
raw materials but for the unlawful
conspiracy herein described"
This would appear to be combina-
ton of manufacturers who practically
controlled wire production. II is
charged that they not only were re-
straining trade. but that they were ar
bitrarily declaring that the producers
Of raw materials should take whatever
they decided to pay. II remains for
the evidence to show whether OF not
the producers were deprived OF fair
return" or were "pinched." and for Il
also to show whether or not the wire
manufacturers out of the combine
we're thus placed at a great disadvan-
tage.
