who shall say that the trust is not
paving the way for socialism, The
principle OF concentration of business
and reduction Of expense is correct.
Every well organized trust, whether 1t
be one of those already socialized, like
the postofiice and the water works. or
one as yet conducted by capitalists for
their own financial benefit. Is a grand
object lesson on the advantages OF eco

Under the system of trusts much or
