f J i 'Cbc Conservative * 13 dencies , or , whether this necessary change will be effected only as a result of disastrous experience. Trade move ments work out results with astound ing rapidity in these days , and Wash ington-made law cannot be expected to successfully compote with natural law , when in opposition to it. It is becoming more and more appar ent that there is no obligation more binding between nations than that of keeping open the highways of the world's commerce. Certainly no influence can so effectively arouse the spirit of local jealousy and call into existence narrow-minded , national pre judices as the policy which we have been following , of exclusion at homo coupled with exploitation abroad. The producing capacity of the coun try , enormous as it is at present , must continue to expand ; and , as this process goes on , foreign resentment and domes tic discontent will be directed with con tinually increasing force against the obstructions which the existing tariff offers to inter-state and international trade. OALVIN TOMKINS. New York , April 8 , 1901. MONOPOLY AND HIGH PRICES. The intelligent opinion of disinterested men in all parties is rapidly realizing that the country has fairly outgrown "protection\ the vast excess of American manufactures , beyond the needs of the home markets , must find foreign outlets , and that liberal , recipro cal , trade relations with other coun tries , free trade if you please , is necessary to secure them. Unfortunately the great tariff-made trusts and some of the raw material barons who rely upon "protection" to keep up the prices of lumber , coal , ores , wool , sugar , salt , lead , etc. , artificially higher than the world's prices , will bitterly fight against any relief of this system of monopoly and high prices. In turning the light upon it , in showing up its injurious effects , the Free Trade league is doing good service. * NOTICE OF INCORPORATION JONES GRAIN COMPANY.
