Good and Bad Trusts.

1t is vain for the defenders of trusts
to deny that certain evils result from
the forming of these gigantic business
monopolies. Recognizing this fact,
these trust defenders have originated
the idea that there are good and bad
trusts. Having created this theory,
they demand that those who are op-
posed to trusts shall name the bad ones
William J. Bryan. after showing that
the Republican party defends and fos-
tiers trusts. says: Now, l don't know
exactly how they are going to discern
between the good trusts and the bad
trusts, but take it that the good trusts
will be the ones. that contribute the
largest amounts to the Republican
campaign funds"
With this view of the question the
plain people will be disposed to consid
er the good trusts quite as harmful as
the bad, indeed, the very purposes
which a trust is formed to carry out
condemn it as unmitigated!y bad.
Why are trusts formed? In the first
place, to reduce expenses of conduct
ing business; to get more work done
for less pay; to accomplish greater re-
suits with less labor. In the second
place. to kill competition. Having ac-
complished these two things, the trust
is ready to grasp third benefit for It
self, and that is the raising of prices
and the increased taxing of the con-
sumer.
These are the objects of all trusts.
Which of them can. then, be said to be
good? AS a matter Gf fact, every trust
is Il monopoly. Some are not so pow
erful as others. In that respect they
may be said to be less evil. but not one
of them possesses the positive quality
of being good. Absolutely It may be
declared. therefore, that there are no
good trusts. The principles upon which
these combines are founded are wrong
and nothing but evil for the people can
flow from them
