1T Is fully as sensible to attempt to de- |
stroy trusts by legislation which ignores
their origin as 1t is to try TO destroy nox- |
Ious weeds by laws which are not enforc-
ed. 1t is the age of trusts, but the trust
is the natural outgrowth of illepltimate
business methods. The theory upon
which business has been conducted by
the larger institutions whose influence is !
such that legislation can be controlled by
them, Is TO look for profits outside of the
line OF legitimate procedure. The pro-
tective tariff grew into an agency for H.
crease OF profits, beyond what competi
tioD made proper, and its beneficiaries
insisted that the benefits they derived
were distributed equitably among all
those engaged Ia industrial pursuits.
This theory met with such acceptance
that it has become the settled policy of
the country. 1t has debauche1 indus
trial sentiment to such an extent that
trusts have grown into recognized pol
ICY OF industrial life. The trust is an
open avowal of what protect,on's con-
ceaied purpose was. Those who approve
protection cannot consistently Gisapprcve
of trusts Each seeks to secure an ad-
vantage by interference with the natural
laws of trade; each seeks to increase
prices by artificial means. They both
want more than can be had in an open,
| free and unrestricted market.
| The desire to get more for product
than it will bring in the open market is
manifest 10 the attempt to declare by law
what the price of silver shall be. L. Is
sought to double the value OF silver by
! legal enactment. The trust seeks co con-
troll the market by destroying competi-
| ton. The silver mine owners demand
! that the law double the price OF their
/ product summarlly, and millions of peo-
! pie approve. Just as protection was
| made to appear policy beneficial to the
4 bore, is the doubling the price of silver
made to bear the aspect OF a movement
III behalf OF the common people. And
many OF them believe it. Their judg
! meat is clouded by pleas for double
standard and the issuing OF more money
The bald and dishonest fact that tbs
value OF silver is to be doubled by law, ii
not stated with the clearness which would
reveal the object. It is not free coinage
OF silver as gold is coined, that is sought
but free coinage of silver at double it
commercial value. The trust has for III
acknowledged purpose increase of prices
OF the commodities in the manufacture
OF which 1t interests itself. But 1t does
not ask for an increase IN price of 100 pc
cent. This the free silverite does. Gar
any one consistently denounce the trus
and countenance free coinage of silver a
ratio which will double it's price
Which of the two is the less defensibl
Interference with laws of trade?
The yerd Is the unit OF long measure
ment. Does any wrong result to th
manufacturer of foot rules or chains O
greater length? Is anyone looking for
double standard in measurement? 1t i
not double standard the silverite care
Tor, 1t is an increase of profit throug
the operation of law, and that not tn
law of trade,
