There is a damor from some quar
ters of Free-Trade ou the grounds that
it will kill the trusts. The •'Citizen"
admits that there is nothing more ef
fectual for killing an.v industry than
tree-Trade, but fails to see just how
Free Trade would kill the trusts par
ticularly. England has 110 Protective
Tariff, vet trusts flourish there. Capi
tal is remarkably cosmopolitan, recog
nising national prejudices very little,
and it is a fond conceit to think there
would not be a combination of capital
under any other economic policy. In
fact two of the most powerful and
equally li.iil i rusts in existence are
the Standard < »il Company and the
coffee trust, and yei neither is aided
by Protective Tariff. A world irusjt
would uol be :ii*\ better Than all
American trust, anvwav Macon iMo.)
••Citizen"
There is nothing new iu the attitude
of Pennsylvania Protectionists. For
years they fought :i grand tight for Hie
home market as against unrestricted
foreign competition. That light litis
been won. and with the winning of it
have come new victories, growing out
of thai great victory. The gaining of
new foreign markets was the natural
and logical outcome of Protection
of the home market. Defenders of
American labor and industry iu Ponn
aylvauia and elsewhere throughout
lliU country have crossed the bridge
which spa the gulf between had
times and good times. They think as
well of t hat bridge as they ever did,
and have uo thought of destroying it.
