Put the Brake on Competition.


A very able economist thus refers to
the necessity Of putting a brake on
indiscriminate railway competition:
s'We cannot close our eyes to the fact
that in spite of all the cIamof of the
present day for free and unrestricted
competition, there was never a time
when so much was done as now in the
way of cur bing and repressing its ex-
travagancies. Laws against industriap
combinations are passed only to be
evaded and forgotten. Agreements
upon prices, upon business methods,
upon the amount of production, upon
territory of sale, are found in every
industry They bave increased with a
natural growth, following the necessi-
ties of the age. The most stringent
agreements are found in organizations
of laboring men, who not only goto the
full limits of their legal rights, but fire.
quently overstep them in their efforts
to exclude free and unrestricted COM
petition from their various vocations.
Fire insurance could not be carried
on except by strict rules against the
cuttin OF premium rates. Newspapers
agree upon their advertising rates and
their wages scale Brokers fix their
commissions by agreement, and main
tain them by concerted action. This
rules of the Board of Trade are en-,
forced Nth severity. IN every line of
business methods of this nature are
adopted and they are necessary in or
der to maintain the advantages, Of com:
petition to the public as a whole. To
seek to prevent them by law is as futile
as = was for King Canute to legislate
against the tides. Unless undue and
unreasonable competition can in some
manner be kept in check, the weaker
asencias win. be forced to leave the
field to the stronger or will be absorbed
In word, the secondary result of
competition is monopoly. Excessive
competition logically car have no other
end. .
This ia federative age. Men and
women unite on every hand for social,
political, literary or business purposes.
To attempt to put an end to the devel-
opment of this principle in any given
! direction is fdtif5. Statute law is not
superior to the requirements of social
existence Legislatures often under
take the evils that result from gigantic
consultations by ferbidding all coop
Grafton anong Competitors. This is
lcaIled putting the ak at the root of the
tree, and the figure is an apt one, but
we do not usually cut down fruitful
tree, in order to eradicate hornets
nest. When the fesults of monopolis-
tic com bination are in opposition to the
public veal case for judicial or legis-
lative interference may arise; but a
remedy which seeks to forbid attempts
at cooperation which are designed only
to mitigate the natural results of ex-
cessive competition IS infinitely worse
| than the disease.

A Bill to Protect Honest Shippers

The protection of honest men against
thieves is the purpose of the bill per-

Congress should pass it without hes

clear, we, believe that representatives

1t would be 2. serious misfortune to
the country to have the railways thrown
back into the confusion from which
they emerged year or two ago. The
interests of shippers and carriers are
so closely related that neither can bs
