THE ESSENTIAL POINT.

The programme outlined in our dis
patches of the forthcoming antitrust
conference at Chicago no doubt indicates
a number Of inquiries the replies to
which are essential to the purposes Of
such a conference. The trouble with
most Of them, however, is that the an
swers to them, no matter how appar-
emily in agreement they might be with
the prevailing view of the dangerous
character of the trusts, will determine
very little as to the true course to be
pursued.
There is one proposition which must
be established in every case before the
interference of the courts can be sue
cessfully invoked against the trusts. 1t
is that those organizations operate to
prevent the. maintenance Of legitimate
may be a given combination, it must be
shown clearly and aff1rmatively to operate
to kill off potential competition if it's
operations are to be interfered with. In
deed, the fact that its capital and re-
sources are such as to make competition
next to impossible will not answer the
purpose of those who may, through an
antitrust movement or otherwise, seek
to destroy it.
Here is the essence Of the entire diff
Guilty. Under our institutions men have
the right to combine their skill and capt.
tai indefinitely for individual and COL
Iective profit, as long as they think
proper, so long as they are not shown to
be acting in restraint of trade or in pre-
venting freedom of contract.
1t is easy to say, as Gov. Rogers says
in the current number of the Independ-
ent, that many of those who profess to
be on the side of the public welfare in
this movement against the trusts and
generally in business undertakings are
found really fighting with might and
main under the banner of the dollar" in
the conduct of their worldly affairs
There doubtless is a serious national
danger involved in the fact. We all rec
ognize, more or less clearly, that the rage
for wealth is back Of the trust evil. But
the rage for wealth. like other RACES, can
be exercised with perfect freedom as long
as those who give way to it act within
their and others rights under the con-
stitutions and laws of the states and Of
the general government.
All the conferences which may be held
from now until doomsday will be of no
avail against the trusts unless they are
directed to the practical work of making
it possible to show that all or some one
or more of these organizations operate
TO destroy competition and are Injurious
to the public welfare. 1t may be COM
paratively easy to show that a given
organization, transacting a public busi-
ness. like the traffic association recently
condemned as unlawful by the federal
supreme court. is essentially injurious to
the public welfare. But it is another
matter TO prove that a given combina-
ton in the conduct of private under
taking operates in like manner.
The promoters Of the antitrust move
ment have before them much more diff
ficult task than most people have any
idea of in trying to destroy the trusts.
The task is enc which in the last event
can only be accomplished through an
aroused and aggressive public sentiment.
