and this made sellers OF the northwest
crowd The decline was rendered the
more easy from the fact that during
the recent advance shorts had generally
covered and bulls loaded up, and in
consequence attempts to llquldate were
attended with some difficulty This
fact. however. was not driven homo on

and was knocked down 81 points. The
volume OF sales at the low point was
small. except for Brooklyn Transit and
Steel and Wire. and there was quick

sympathy with Transit In the early
dealings, but II had rallied quite strong

movement OF the day was that Of

The current number Of the American
Monthly Review Of Reviews contains an
article from the pen Of Byron w. Holt
on Trusts" that Is one Of the clearest
and apparently, faircsts sexpositions Of
this subject that we have seen published.
While the article referred TO bears upon
all phases Of the question, particular at
tention is given TO exposing the fallacy
that trusts cheaper the cost Of goods 10
the consumer.
Mr.. Holt, in his article, makes the
startling statement that there are 800
trusts in the United States capitalized
at between %, 600 0OO, ,OOOand 81 ,OOO, 900, 81
OOO although the actual value is prob
ably less than $1,000, 100000. On the
fictitious capitalization, running into
the billions Of dollars, the consumers
must pay dividends.
II is shown in the article by a series OF
tables that In many instan ,es trusts have
raised the price Of products, and II il
not evident but that they have done this
in every instance. The price Of wire
nails II shown 30 have advanced 100 per
cent since the Wire Nail Trust was
formed, and the prices of nearly all man
uiactured articles have advanced from
10 10 50 per cent during the last eight
months, the q latest period Of activity
in trust formation in the history Of the
world.
The Standard Oil Company is said,
during the vast three years, 30 have paid
dividends amounting 10 - per cent, or a
total Of SOL ,il5,00O. Stock in this com
pany is now selling at 400, which gives il
a par value Of $l70, ,525, 900. In table
Of prices Of refined and crude oil il is
seen that the decline in the price Of both
was much more rapid before than since
the formation Of this trust.
The real objection 10 the Trust is not
that II STILES competition, for that has
some merit, but that II creates small
plutOcratic class who are made enor-
mously rich by being able 10 collect
money from the millions for articles Of
necessity. The state should be the only
plutocrat.
