definition uf that word. It would boa
Bre.it assistance to the listeners to itntl
truat speeches and readera of anti-truat
editorials if they know what a "truat" ia
and where the "trtista nie to be found."
At present there ia a remarkable di
versity of opinion reeardiiiL' this matter.
Senator llamia eaya ho "does not believe
tlieru ia etich a thin? na a truat in the
United Statea." Most men will deem
Hub altogether too aweoping a itatomeiit.

there are no longer any monopoly com

Is indeed the eaae. Corporaliona wliieh

diclr iutereata to gome other corporation
which neta iim truatee for all and man
aKfH the n f I'.t 1 r b of all. Corporations

lVnple do not generally use the word
'fiat" in ita legal aense. Many mean
jjylta large industrial eoiiimwiy built up
Hie consolidation of u number of tho
winpauioa engaged in a particular husi
ne, and tlmy ofton assume that aueli a
consolidation ia harmful. Ono of Senator
Hniinu's critics givea u inoro precise deli,
nitloii. Uo aaya moat peoplo iiioaii by
"lata "a combination or consolidation
0'uEliibliahinoiitH embraced in any given
branch of production, powerful enough
practically tocontrol output and pi lour."
H this ia the definition which ia ae
cl'ted by Mr. Uryau and othor demo
tlc anti-lruat orators, it would bo
w well for t,um (0 onurnurato some of
no organisations which muy properly
uo called "trusta." Tliia enumeration
will havo moro eflect on the peoplo if it
C9 bo shown that these orgatlzatlona
have restricted output and thereby re
trlcted conaumptlon, and have raised
I'ricea. 'flio beat evidence of tho power
of a continuation tocontrol cutput and
prices 1b the evidence that it hue done so.
Whoro.thut ia lacking the power of the
combination ia merely alluded, not
proved.
Tliere are many conBolidated coru
paniea wliieh are properly called "trusts"
.which have not restricted the output.
They have welcomed iticrensed 'eon
BUtnption because it enabled them to
make ntoro .money. Nor, if able to con
trol prices, have they always used their
power to increase them. This is true of
come of the steel combines. Tho price
of atoel was lower here immediately
after the Illiuoia Steel company was
formed tbun it was before that compnny
was organized. If tho Carnegie compnny
hint the power to control prices it baa
not always exorcised that power. Its
prices havo not been tho highest when
it was the strongest. In fuct, it has
obtained ita ascendency in tiie markets
bv nndoraollini' competitors. The Uiacuit
Company may be said to have a mo
nopoly, but. ia there evidence that it has
so controlled prices as to restrict con
HninptbiiY A control which increases
consumption may not be objected to.
Tho anthracite coal roads are culled a
"ttuat." No doubt they act in unison.
They are in a combine at this timo par
ticularly odiua. They manage to agree
as to price. J!ut when the evidence
that they have made an agreement
which the law can take hold of la asked
for it is not foithcoming. Men will
"think alike" sometimep, oven as to tho
prices which they ask for their yuods.
No law which congress can pass and tho
piesident sign can prevent their doing
so. There is no way under tho consti
tution and laws in which this combine
can bo broken up. Here is a case of a
"trust," according to tho popular defin
ition, which not oven national legisla
tion can reach. Nor ia it easy to see
what national legislation can bo devued
to dissolve the most powerful of so-called
"trustfl" tho Standivid Oil Compnny.
The Itryanitea who mo denouncing
"truata" and iiokiitir to bo given power
that they may destroy them ought to
submit a Hat of the corporations they
think ointlit to be wlpod out, Uccunae lor
reafcona that aliould bo stated, their ex
istent ia dangerous to the puullo wel
fare. They phould explain also in de
tail what Federal legislation thoy pro
pose and ehow how it can be made
effectual either to destroy or control the
tri,iH eoinnlained of. Thoeo are some
of tho things tho people might well be
informed of before the elections.

a copy of my letter written moro than
five years ago to the bnsinoes men of
