Convincing Exposition of Fallacy of Bryan's Panacea for Solving Problems of Modern Business. (From exception* to cover eticli ••as««, and w have learned that it is equally “binding as to what It owits.” If we could imagine such » crude prohibition to be enacted into law. and to be regarded a* valid, what would be ■ the effect? Mr. Bryan, with his usual . readiness, suirgests that the concern may sell as much of its plants as are not needed to produce the amount al­ lowed by law. He speaks as though every manufacturing concern had as many fully equipped units of produc­ tion as would correspond to any given percentage of trade which it might be retpiired to lop off. Plants are not so easily dismembered, Reduction in out put means reduction in work, reduction in the number of men t employed and curtailment of the efficiency of a going concern. Ia-t us suppose a concern which controls SO per cent of a given product—that is to say, makes and sells $s.0(KUM)0 In value out of a total trade In tlie product amounting to $10,- 000,000. Is it to be cotnpelletl to reduce its output to $2.000,000' tiecause only $2,000,000 in value are made by others? Then, if it could sell a part of its plant I on Mr. Bryan’s theory, what should it sell? Should it sell off enough to re dttce its capacity to $5.000,000, and allow three-fifths of its plant to remain idle until others developed a capacity for handling the other $5,000,000? Should It assume that the total trade will increase and is not always to re main at $10,000,000, and hence retain a larger portion of Its plant in idle­ ness? Or suppose a concern controls 100 per cent of the trade in some arti­ cle, what plants shall it retain? It can produce nothing until others pro dttce; but It may produce an amount equal to the production of others, and it holies the trade will grow. What a vision of business uncertainty and con­ fusion, of idle and impaired plants, of the ruin of workingmen whose lives have clustered around particular Indus tries and who depend upon their con tinned efficiency, is presented by this fanciful remedy for the destruction of trusts! Apart from this, if the dissolution were effected In the manner desired and portions of plants could be sold and were sold as suggested, to whom would the sale be made? Would it tie necessarily to foes or to those ambi tioiis to be competitors and anxious to take advantage of its plight? This proposaf In its utter disregard of the facts of business, in its substl tution of the phantasies of tlie imagin atiuii for the realities of life, stamps the I lento •ratic platform with th« fatal stamp of IStitl. Tlie commerce Hnd in­ dustry of this country, the Interests of Its wage earners mid of its interdepend­ ent mass« s. who must rely upon the stability of Ini.-¡Hess, cannot afford to give license to such vagaries. In th« solemnity with which this proposal has been declared, and the in sistenee with which it is advocated, we find an appropriate test of tbe capacity of our opponents to deal wisely with the problems of the day. - I'» -pi r ment 0 rJ Ti«ii>. t I .mA t< i ' uae » Ml* 'ulttV SotTi’F fvb- latctior E N‘ H 1< F.
