LEGISLATIVE REPORT ON TRUSTS.
New York Statesmen Take Different Views
of the Subiect,

OF the Subject.
ALBANY, n. V, May 10-The senate COM
mittee on general laws, which was instruct
ed on March 90, 1888, to investigate the sub
ject of trusts and similar combinations, has
reported the result of its inquiry. The ma
jority of the committee, comprising the Re-
publican members, Arnold, Coggeshall,
OConnor and Walker, take the ground that
trusts and similar combinations are only new
forms of the ever-present struggle for su-
premacy in the industrial world; that they
are not necessarily monopolies; that they
should not be interfered with by special leg
islation; that the common law and existing
statutes on the subject of monopoly are suf-
ficient for their treatment when they develop
monopolistic qualities; that at all events the
decision of Judge Barrett in the sugar trust
case would seem to indicate this, and that
legislation, even if deemed advisable, should
be deferred until the court of appeals has
passed upon Judge Barrett's decision.
Inclined to Think Otherwise.
The minority report, signed by Linson
Langben and Ives, the Democratic members.
concurs i'll the opinion that at the present
time the common law, if Judge Barretts de-
cision be maintained, is as favorable to the
people as any legislation that could he OBJ
tanned at the present time. But the minority
cannot subscribe to the doctrine that these
organizations are harmless, nor that it is safe
to trust entirely to the corrective action OF
time and the law of supply and demand to
eradicate the abuses incident to such colossal
combinations of money and power. The pro
lection of the people at present may he as
sured by the incorruptibility of the bench
and the executive branch of the government;
but if, in the future, these organizations shall
be as successful in Substituting administrative
and judicial officers as they have been potent
in preventing legislation against their selfish
and dangerous methods, the people will be
forced to adopt some other remedy than the
common law.
