BY W1L.L.IA3I H. BERNARD. WILMLNGTON. A. t . SaTCRDAT MOBJflJTG, Nov. 25. THE TAKIFP AND TEUSTS. The friends of the protective tariff declare that the tariff does not foster trusts, others say there are no trusts, and others say that trusts are good things and therefore the tariff is a good thing for beget ting them, and instead of declaim ing against it we ought to be ring ing its praises. Mark Hanna, how ever, did the unique thing during the campaign in Ohio by denying that there are any trusts and then proclaiming" that trusts are a bless ing. The men who deny that the protective tariff fosters trusts dis credit the intelligence of the Ameri can people, and the men who assert that they are a blessing either dis credit their own intelligence or pre sume on the credulity of the people to whom they talk. Bat those of them who are intel ligent enough to know what they are talking about are playing with words. Originally the trusts were managed by trustees, hence the name. Later the boards of trustees were dispensed witb and the present system adopted by taking in the plants either by purchase or issuing stock in the combination to such plants as came iu, so that literally there are no trusts but combinations, the same thing with a different name. A trust to all intents and purposes, based on the same principle, operated pretty much in the. same way and with the same object, to stifle competition. secure a monopoly of the market, and dictate prices to the consumers. The Philadelphia Ledger is a non partisan, moderate protection paper, and thus discusses the protective tariff in connection with trusts: errant who cuts the ground from un der the feet of the American working men. Yesterday's papers announced a strike of S00 Polish laborers in a Philadelphia factory. "The upholstery wearer of this city, some 1,600 in all, have decided to petition their employers for an In- ci-ajlsa of vim The rrtttnn and vaaI. M - lea schedules of the Dingley act were written by tbe representatives of tbe manuraciurers, w no were .accorded what they asked, on the plea that it was necessary they should r.ave fur ther protection to enable tbetn to pay employes living wages and meet for eign competition. Indeed, tbe Ledger is informed that the same schedules in the derided Wilson act were also pre pared by the manufacturers. It may be that the workingmen ask too macb, or the employes concede to little; but, whatever the merits of the contro versy. American labor is entitled to - 1 - , A iair wages rquuij tks me Amer can manufacturer is entitle! to fair profits. "The whole subject of wage rates, nrice lists and the nroflta nf runiLnl ia one that calls for serious and prompt consideration byt Congress." There is scarcely an article used by the American people on which there are any tariff duties all of which are imposed with an eye to protection that has not been en hanced in price from twenty-fire to one hundred per -cent., or more. Various pretexts are offered for this. The manufacturers tell us that it is necessary on account of the increased cost of raw materials, advance in wages, &c, but the increased cost of raw materials is the result in many cases of the protective tariff on these, while the increase in wages is a trifle compared with the in creased price of the goods they make. But comiDg down to the equity of this thing," 75,000,000 of people are taxed for the benefit of the com paratively few thousands who are engaged in the protected iudustries, that is when the protection amounts to- enough to prevent foreign compe tition, and these 75,000,000 pay from 25 to 100 per cent, more for what they buy while their buying capacity remains what it was before in the case of a good many of them and but slightly increased in others. The farmer gets a little more for the produce he has to sell and is taxed more on every thing he has to buy. The wage earner gets an advance of about ten per cent, on his wages, and he pays tribute on every thing he buys and is no better off at the end of the month than at the be ginning, for the increase in wages is not in proportion to the adyance in prices. Thus while the prosperity seems to be general it is the few who reap it while the many pay tribute to the prosperity of the few. This whole thing is a colossal fraud and the astonishing thing about it is that the American people have not seen through ,it long ago, and crushed it. v; -W- - ... - - . - .

A tariff tax is equitable where it affords to Ameri oan labor adequate protection from lesser m paid foreign labor, and the American consumer protection against nnjust exactions on the part of the American manufacturer. But the ucjirucuuo 01 aomesuc competition as represented by the organization of monopolistic enterprises vitiates the principle of protection, be cause it puts laborer and consumer at the mercy of the producer. Advocates of the trusts contend that there are no monopolies in the United States; but this is begging the question. Combi nations that control th m.lr. not actually include every manufac turinr plant in their line of business but if they are able to dictate prices, to exercise the powers of monopoly, they are for all practical purposes monopolies. The Houston, Texas, Post of fers an object lesson in the Nail . Trust, which ha raised prices from $1.50 in 1898 to $4 85 in 1899. which an increase in wages of 10 per cent, and an increase in trust profits of 180 per. cent, while the increased cost to the consumer is 190 per cent. DvMibltess there are nails made by in dependent concerna,but the trust dom mates the market. So also with sugar. A representative of the Amer ica sugar Company testifies that his concern produces 70 per cent, of that oommoditv used in the United States; that Arbuckle produces 5 per cent and tbat other refin ers turn out the remaining 25 Pr By the rules of arithmetic the Sugar Trust is not a monopoly ; but by the evidence of every day expert ence it controls and regulates the mar ket. with power to absolutely crush its competitors should they reduce prices. There are a few, a very few. independ ent tm plate pi nU in this country, and the Tin Plate Trust is a virtu J mo nopoly, and has enormously increased pnoes that it may pay dividends on overcapitalised stock. An indication ofJb xtent of this inflation is af forded by the testimony of a witness before the Industrial Commission, who declared that tha nm-m-a A tv plate concern had received for their emoes iiu.000,000 in common stock. The beneficiaries of a protective tariff are morally bound to be just to wards the laborer and the consumer. It will be conceded that the con sumer baa been made to shift for him self. There are seventy odd millions of him, and he ia obliged to pay the price or do without the necessaries of life. But labor also has been treated unfairly.

A short while ago we wrote some thing suggested by an exhibit of Yancey county apples made at Ra leigh by Secretary Bruner, of. the State Board of Agriculture. While some of our apples growers who handle their crops with good judg ment make money out of them, the majority of our farmers make noth ing and the bulk of the crop is wasted. Some of the reasons why so little is realized from, this crop are stated in the following, which we clip from the Charlotte Observer: ' Our columns have had two refer ences, within the past few days, to the recent trip of Secretary T. K Bruner, of the Statee Board of Ari culture, to the Mountains of North Carolina, and te what he had to say of the people he saw there. It i- be,tte'.than P1" 10 hear Mr- Bruner talk about them. He tell of an apple which he saw there in Yancey county weghine 23 ounces, and in this county as has been stated, there are 50,000 bushels of marketable apples. He also found splendid crops in Hay wood, Mitchell and CaldwelL But it is the old story: These splendid apples are so poorlo handled and reach market in such sorry shape that they bring only half or less than half their m w tu cents a bushel. One grower took adyice to select his apples carefully and pack them closely -,barrel ad halng them to Ashe ville thus, realised $1 a bushel for them. But this was the exceptional case, the general run of the people pre ferring to throw big, little, good and bad, together in a wagon bed, jolt them over bad roads to market, where thev amr bmiuH mnA nn.i.(l- i bring S3 to 50 cents. There, is no finer fruit in the world than these North Carolina mountain apples. It costs nothing to produce them; they are a pure gift of God, and could be a source or great revenue. Money realised on them is like money picked up in the road. He would be a philanthropist, indeed, who would go among all our mountain people and tell them what to do with this element of wealth which which,, a beneficent Providence has placed in their hands. , There are during the shipping sea son a great many up-country apples received in Wilmington, bnt tnm- erallyin such bad condition from careless, or rather senseless, hand ling and shipping that they are any thing but attractive. Poorly sorted, if sorted at all, many of them are bruised or mashed by jolting in tran sit, and the loss on these destroys the profit on what is left, so that there is little encouragement for our fruit dealers to handle them. They can get apples from the New York or New Jersey orchards in better condition than these home-grown apples, and that's one of the princi pal reasons, if not the principal oae, why there are so many more North ern than North Carolina apples found in our markets, although our apples are as a rule equal and often superior to the Northern apples. A DISCREDITABLE RACKET. Whatever the opinion may bo as to gracefulness or ungracefulness of the disposition that Admiral Dewoy made of that gift-house, in our opin iont there is no question as to the ungracefulness of the loud clamor that ha3 been raised about it. Peo I pie who did not contribute money to tne purchase have no right to call the Admiral to task, and they woo am would have shown de cidedly better taste if thev had said nothing about it, for they accom plished nothing by the clamor, Bave the wounding of the man whom they idolized, and many of them bootlicked, but a few weeks ago, and onnging disrepute upon themselves. There were thousands of Americans who commended the action of the Admiral when it was reported that he would not accept the giftrrJl a nouse, and regretted it when he changed his mind and consented There is always something of the mercenary m such transactions, which does not couple well with the "hero. There is too much of this gift ousmess anyway gifts of houses, 01 silver services, of "lovinir cuna. of swords, medals, etc., and very oiien to men who are no more enti tled to such distinction than scores of others, whose names are rarely if ever mentioned and who are quite as much heroes, but are never dia covered because their trumpets are not blown and are soon forgotten 11 xney are. There is a moral in all this, how ever, showing how fickle the public ia and how easily the grip of its idolized hero may be broken. The only place where the hero is reallv safe is in the din -of battle, for there for the time being he escapes the tongue of gossip or the mali of the envious. It may be some consolation to Admiral Dewey and others of our "heroes" to know that their country is not peculiar in this respect, for other countries and other ages have had their "heroes" who have had somewhat unpleasant experiences SI'IKITS H kPSiNTINE.
