W. Cook of tbo New York Bar. is well worth study by all thinking citizen*. , For many years the Intelligent free press of this country have been expos­ ing the dangers to $hOw*ss of the people, resulting from tbj» prevalence of monopolies, and Corporations, call­ ed into exlstenoe to create monopoly. Extensive agitation among citizens has been the result, and some legis­ lative acts have boon enacted, which have somewhat ohecked the greed of monopolists, but tbe evil"has not been abolished and still grows. The citi­ zens recognise this fact, yet hardly know whatimeasurea to take to stop tho growing evil. Within the last few years a new form of combination has sprung into •Xlatofco*, called M Trusts," which are tnoroaslng in strength and' number so rapidly that they have called forth tbo essay which is named above. The author defines so clearly the meaning and object of the organiza­ tion called a "Trust," that we copy his words as follows: A "Trust" Is a combination of many competing concerns under one man­ agement, whieh thereby reduces the cost, regulates the amount of produc­ tion. and increases the price for which the article is sold. It is either a mo­ nopoly or au endeavor to establish a monopoly. * * Its ergani z at I on is Intricate, secret and subtile. * * It is a product of the highest order of business talent and executive ability. It is at oooe a monument of American genius and a symbol of American rapacity," The author, Mr. Cook, then ex plains the details of the organiza­ tion of "Trusts^" shows how they evade the restrictive laws whlbh gov­ ern corporations and exposes the dan­ gers resulting to the mass of citizens from their existence. That "Trusts" are contrary to public policy, be clearly proves Hfor there can bo no denial of the fact that a 'Trust' Is organized to do away with compe­ tition. Without that result, It Is a failure; with It a success. The par­ ties combine to control the market and to control it without any competl* tton," Tbo law baa been called on for decis­ ion on this point, and has affirmed that a "Trust is a combination in re­ straint of trade, and that as such, It is illegal and void." Tbe author quotes numerous decisions in support of this general one, all tending to show tbat tnese uuuiuluakivuS «» outside of the pale and protection of the law. Also defines very clearly tbe obligations and legal position of the shareholders in trusts, and clearly establishes the fact tbat they are selfish combinations for unlawful gain. The rapid multiplication of trusts Is then spoken of and tbe fact that; "the fabulous profits which flaw from an ab­ solute 'Trust' have dazzled the minds and set on fire tbe imagination of men." The sugar trust la mentioned, and the fact that from that comblaa- tion, a profit of over thirty millions oi dollars a year, in addition to the old profits, Is the estimated gain to the manufacturers in this one case* And the fact that these trusts are secret enables the members to argue within the secrecy of their conclave that the public is at their mercy. Altogether, an astounding i picture of the mon­ strous evil thai has almost silently been developed by tbe formation of Trusts" is presented, and one that the mass of citizens hardly as yet re alize. But their existence Is now a fact, and It will require steady firm action on the part of the people, to overthrow them. For a "Trust relies upon its capital. Its secreey, its unsrupulous tal ent, its fearlessness, and its concen­ trated power." to defy opposition and carry out its rapacious purposes. Such is the formidable shape that tbe greatest monopolies, like tbe Stan dard Oil Company, and maay others have now assumed; greater in power and scope than any tbe world ever saw before; that the author thinks it time for tbe people to begin to resist them •oaces the strongest means to that oad in a free competition of tbe pro ducers of all countries. Tbe trusts are absorbing and holding all producers in our own nation, but be thinks cannot hold those of all nations. He thinks la this free all-world competition, tbe Trusts must find their victor. They are now unnaturally enriching their own members at home, by their almost universal prevalence. The few are be­ ing enriched at tbe expense of the consumers, the mass of tbe people, But a competition open to all producers of all nations, can, and must break down these unnatural monopolies. And this can only be secured by tbe efforts of the mass of tbe people, through the agency of a free and untrammelled press. Such are bis arguments, and they arc, strongly presented. Tbey should bo read by all inter­ ested in the future of the American people. Whether tbe best means to avoid the dangerous power of "Trusts' tbat arc now encroaching on the rights "of the mass ef American citizens, are those advocated by Mr.» Cook, Is a question for every one to determine for himself. There is no question In any intelligent citizen's mind that "Trusts" are a threatening evil, as they exist at present, and tbat action should be taken at once to limit their power and check their further developemeut. For under their pree ent form they are developing a prlvl? legad class who accumulate enormous wealth from their privileges; a result not in accordance with tbe principles which constitutes a Democracy. Leg lslatioa should secure equal opportuni ties, to aU not to a privl leged few, and it is the duty of the voters and thinkers of this American Nation to see tbat the legislators they choose are men who will act up to these patdMlc senti­ ments. to. > > <'vm-NnXM** c*nT«nti*a.
