RELIEF FROM TRUSTS
RELY UPON TRUSTS.
THE ONLY SENSIBLE WAY TO CHEAPEN PRODUCTS.
Increase the Number of Competing Producer* Instead of Diminishing Them by the Removal of Protective Tariff Duties. If the house leaks, is it the best remedy to burn it down? Surely practical people would inquire whether the cost of mending the leak might not be less than the cost of building a new house. This problem appears to be raised by the Washington Post, which, after appreciative comment on remarks of The Tribune regardiug advances in price of ii few commodities, states that “if the combinations will not halt in their hoisting of prices, if they push on until they cripple our growing export trade hy inordinately increasing the cost of production, we shall confidently expect The Tribune and every other consistent advocate of protection to urge on congress the imperative necessity of pulling down such part of the tariff wall as furnishes shelter for monopolistic trusts.” This, does not appear to be the perfection of reason. It takes it for granted that the existing tariff favors, or at least permits, excessive advances which would not be made without it—a tiling not proved. It takes for granted that prices would be permanently reduced If the home protection should be crippled by exposure to foreign competition. Worst of all, it assumes that permanent cheapening of products cannot be reached more quickly and more surely by continued encouragement of home Industry and competition than in any other way. These are assumptions for which The Tribune sees no war-
rant.
Higher prices than are charged even now were for many years'charged by combinations of foreign manufacturers when they held consumers in this country at their mercy. No other instance need be mentioned than the maintenance for many years of prices for tin plates above those now quoted, the Welsh makers combining to fix prices at pleasure because there was no competition here. Exactly the same thing i has been seen in many other kinds of manufacture and is seen now in some which have not yet been so established here that home and foreign producers cannot readily combine to control prices, as they do combine. There is no evidence whatever known to The Tribune tending to show that relief from excessive prices can be secured by driving part of the producers out of the business and leaving the rest, domestic and foreign, to control prices by combining. But there is evidence, mountains of it, to prove that continual encourage- [ ment of home manufacturers does ere-1 ate a competition against which no combination can fight without destruction, unless by putting prices so low that It shuts out competition. The steel rail combination was destroyed in that way, the steel beam combination a little later, the old nail trust, the old wire trust, and who can reckon how many trusts and combinations in other branches of business have been driven into bankruptcy in tbe same fashion? The only important combinations or trusts which have been able to survive all competition thus far are tbe Standard Oil company, which has no duty on imports to help it In the least, and the Sugar Refining company, which has repeatedly bought up one set of competitors after another, only to find itself quickly confronted by others more powerful. Duties on sugar long maintained for revenue purposes suffice to promote the same never ending competition which every combination in protected industries has to face. The question whether continued encouragement of home competition will more surely and more quickly break down combinations in a particular industry than a.removal of all duties is not one, it may be admitted, which can be in every case decided by past experience alone, without regard to the conditions existing in that industry. But it Is demonstrated by experience, as surely as anything can be, that in the great majority of cases that continuing force has broken down combinations and secured permanent advantages to consumers which could not otherwise have been attained. It is this ultimate advantage which men are apt to overlook. When they see that the price of any article is too high, the first impulse is to break it down at once and by any means. But if that course would destroy part of the works engaged and leave the market at the mercy of a smaller number of producers, what difference does it make whether a part of them are foreign? The ocean has never yet proved a barrier against trade combinations found profitable to men on both sides. The other remedy is to draw into the business an increasing number of producers, enlarging and improving works, studying new processes and ever trying to secure larger markets for themselves. This addition of works, with perpetual iucentive to improvements of methods and economy of production, almost invariably ends In collapse of the combination, and then the country has a producing power large enough or more than large enough to supply all its needd. That only gives ground to hope for permanent cheapness. Prostrating part of the works and reducing the production is never a step toward permanent cheapness, though it may sometimes bring quick relief for the time.—New York Tribune.
Free Tradera Raise a Side !■ tbe Hope of Defeating Protection. The enactment of a strictly revenue tariff, with all provision* for incidental protection to “infant industries” eliminated, will do more toward destroying the more obnoxious trust* than all the state statute* that could be enacted.—Nashville
American.
Such is the sole remaining hope of the advocates of unrestricted foreign competition. No longer able to snecessfully dispute the facts of trade, commerce and industry, powerless to deny the great obvious actuality of restored prosperity and the building up of an unparalleled foreign trade under the operation of a protective tariff, the free traders fall back upon trusts as their only weapon of assault upon the American policy. The Nashville American, like all theorists of its class, sees but one thing at a time. It sees, or thinks It does, that by the elimination of protection the trusts would be smashed. Very likely this would be in some measure the result of a tariff for revenue only. A few of the trusts which embrace industries benefited by a protective tariff would doubtless suffer somewhat under free trade. A large number of Industries operating separately and independent of trusts would suffer ruinous consequences, while many of the greatest trusts not at all dependent upon the tariff would go right along as though nothing had happened. Other trusts would find a way to unite with foreign producers and thus control prices and stifle competition. The surest way to remove competition and open a clear field for the operation of trusts would be to abolish the protective tariff. Through such a tariff policy has come all the competition that this country ever had or now enjoys, and its maintenance will In the future, as in the past, make competition possible in Its best and most effective form. Protectionists do not dread the reopening of the tariff issue in the next presidential campaign. They would Prefer that this issue be kept out of politics for many years to come, because of the greater stability and confidence with which industrial enterprises would be conducted on the strength of such an assurance, but they have no fears for the result of another conflict between protection and free trade, this time on the basis of unrestricted foreign competition as a remedy for trusts. Free traders at present seem inclined to precipitate a fight along these lines. Possibly they will think better of it before the plan of campaign for next year shall be map-
ped out.
RUSH OF BUSINESS.
Typical Instance of Conditions Very Generally Prevalent. The house furnishers of this city are having the busiest year of the past half decade, and the merchants and their salespeople are working night and day to keep pace with the orders. The wagons rumble through the streets all day with loads of furniture, bedding, carpets and other things for the household, and the merry sound of the upholsterer’s hammer is heard all day long. The reason for all this rush is easily explained. There are more men employed than at any time since the famous souphouse tariff bill was promulgated at Washington and consequently more money to spend. When hard times came, the average man found that it was only by the most rigid economy that he could support his family and pay his debts. Many men could not pay their debts even though they denied themselves all the luxuries and some things deemed as necessaries of life. But the families are now being provided for, and there is some money to spare, and some of this money is being put into furnishings, to replace old goods that had to be used because the owners could uot afford to buy better. Some homes are receiving a complete rehabilitation, and this has started the wheels of trade on a veritable hum in some lines of business. As a result of this state of affairs some merchants who were prone to be skeptical as to the coming of better conditions are satisfied that good times are here.—Chester (Pa.) Times.
PROTECTION’S WORK.
Bo 'Mm
THAT
Aa Predicted. The Dingley law is yielding revenues as its author and advocates predicted, as It will be borne in mind that no increase in customs receipts is afforded by the war revenue law, except the Insignificant item of 10 cents per pound on tea.—Utica (N. Y.) HeraUL^gjgjjj^j
Results Satisfactory, but Its Mission Not Yet Ended. In these days of prosperity under the Dingley tariff law we hear very little from the free traders, but now and then they trot out their panacea, shake the bottle vigorously and say that the remedy should be applied to prevent the country from getting too prosperous. Just at present they are advocating the abolition of protective duties on iron and steel. They are terribly worked up over the fact that the Baldwin Locomotive works have received orders for locomotives from France, England and several South American countries. This shows, they argue, that the iron and steel industries need no protection. It is undoubtedly true that Carnegie’s great plant is able to go it alone. It has reached such a degree of efficiency that it cannot only meet foreign competition, but can find a market for its products abroad. The Baldwin Locomotive works are in much the same satisfactory condition. It should be remembered, however, that there are other iron and steel plants and other locomotive works that are not so wealthy, and to withdraw the protection which the tariff now gives them would mean their ruin.—Springfield (Mass.) Union.
