The combinations have absorbed plants much of whose machinery is old. The new competitors have the latest ma chinery there is.’’ The opinion of the tournai of Commerce is that the com bination as a manufacturer of common stocks for purposes of speculation lias had its day, that combinations will hereafter be formed primarily for economic reasons, but ot these it has been proved that competition is almost impossible of suppression and the econ omies of centralized control have been overestimated. It may be a sound view that most of the industrial combinations are doomed to eventual failure, under the operation of natural economic laws which they appear to violate and from the force of competition, but it would seem to be unwise and unsafe to leave wholly to these agencies the solution of the trust problem. Something may certainly be done through legislation to regulate the combinations and to at least lessen the power for oppression and exaction they now possess. Natural economic la ws will assuredly assert themselves in time. Doubtless it is not possible, in most cases, to entirely suppress compe tition. Yet much can be done to protect the public against the rapacity of the monopolistic combinations by judicious legislation and the demand for this should be heeded by congress and by the state legislatures.
