Consplracies that Rob the Public.

.
The New York Senate investigating
committee has succeeded in uDearthing
and bringing to light the very root OF
the trust system-the famous agree
ment upon which the greatest Of all
combines, the Standard Oil trust, is
based. 1t is in all respects the most
amazing business contract or agree
ment ever drawn. It is no wonder
that az innumerable growth Of these
pernicious combinations has radiated
from the heart Of this gigantic enor-
nifty. In legal sense it is neither
corporation nor well.de6ned COM
mon-law trust. It's articles and tran
saetiops are secret. No legal quail.
iications are prescribed for its trustees,
and no limits are placed on their powers
and discretion. Their are nine Of
these gentlemen in the concern, each
of whom receives salary of $25, 900
per year. Yet it divides profit OF
FROM seven to ten per cent. year ON
its capital of 100000. 900, which has
increased to that figure from $7O,O0O.
900 since the trust was created in JAM
uary. 1882. The trustees hold very
arge majority of this valuable stock.
The Standard combine is in all respects
a remarkable nondescript in the conn
mercial world.
