Broken Bow qnd cotnn unity i
ad at last awakened to the
importarJce anc necessity of
securing the Dululh & . Pueblo
railroad. 'l'he city council was II
called in special seSSIon to consider -
sider the propiety of giving the !

and it was decide ( to GO so.
Dr. J. G. Breni cr , of Merna ,
was a business visitor in the city.
He had purchased the paniel
Hiberger place on the l'1orth side

Trusts and Tariff.
Em'ran IhtPUBLICAN :
As to whether or not the abolition -
tion of tariff on all trust made
goods would in any way curb thc
trusts is be'st seen when we reason
out the devlopments as they
, ould appear. We have already
seen that a Qerce C01llpetition
would SOOI1 begin after the opening -
ing of our ports !
This competitiQI1 Oan result in
but one of two things , namely ,
the survival of the fittest , which
are the trl1sh , or further cotn-
binations , which means new
trusts ,
In competition , prices are
always fixed at the lowest price
at which the market can be supplied -
plied , and the trusts running on
a larger scale with all the
economic savings of a larger business -
ness can supply the market at a
price below that at which the
small concerns can produce.
Prices are cut until the small
producers must fail or sie e upon
the only other alternative which
is open to them , that of forming
combinations among themselves.
that is new trusts to compete with
the old ones. Should they choose
this , rather than immediate ruin ,
the competition will last longer ,
being much more disastrous in
results and in the end the least I
powerful and efficient will be
driven into bankruptcy. But I
here ag-ain , the losses to each by
such fierce competition may be so
great that they will combine
, their concerns , already trusts ,
into one all powerful trust to cope
with foreign competition for
their own existance.
'l'he first apparent result from
this international competition
will be the immcdiate bankruptcy
of every American producer ,
trusts and all , which are cngaged
in those unprotected lines of
industry which are not self-sup-
porting in Amcrica. 'l'his is true
ecausc foreign producers can
supplv the market at a price
mucli. below that at which j
American producers can , since
they get raw material and labor
cheaper and would have all the
advantages in our markets which
the American himself enjoys.
After we would have thus entirely -
ly killed those industries in
America and were at the mercy
of foreigners , what could we < 10
but again re-erect our tariff wall
of protectiod ?
In thos lines of industrr
which are sdf-supporting here ,
the weakest trusts hle small concerns -
cerns wouhl fail , as a result of
.international competition from
free trade , which in turn increases -
creases the strength of their
survivor. Should this survivor
be an American trust we would
then have a "World's 'I'rust" to
handle instead of such as we now
, have , and it being within our
borqers we coulct in no way
control it by tariff.
Should this survivor , now a
world's trust , happen to be a
foreign trust , which is very probable -
bable , it would amount to adding
the pOlvers of former American
trusts to those foreign world
trusts , wh ch woultbe \ bevond
our control and which onld
cxerr.is a more arbitrary control
over priqes than has hCJetofore :
, cver been known ,
' 1'0 Ineet this. condition we
must either submit , boycott or
erect a new and higher tariff
barrier than we have. ' 1'0 submH
would be unbearable , to boycott
would be absolutely tupossible
and impracticable be ause we
tul\st have the goods , and still we
an not \focll\ce \ thenat honw in
the fa e of this foreign free
COtu p ti tion ,
We are there ore brol\ght back
to tar ff and compeU d to erect
s-rch tariff protection as is
necessary to 'restablis tJlC , lo t
ind\1stri s in A nerici\ . I
Bitt insteaof \ thes world
trust being th s fen ed it is ,
quite likely th.1t the co peting
trusts of the different nations
would combine am ng the sel vest
before competiti9.n became dis-
tru tive al d form what has been
termed "International trusts , "
agaInst which tariff wottld , be of
no avail. These trus.ts wo1.1.ld
form the most powerful organi.a- :
tions ever known , or conceived of ,
