The Power Of Trusts.

Opposition to trust companies. :"
on the part of business men, is not
made so much because Of the belief
thIt they are unn eceS airy, but te al e
of the fact they are oppressive. When
enormous sums of money are placed
i'm the hands of few individuals there
is a power held that becomes supreme.
Even the Government ami the people
become the subjects of the corpora
tiOnS webbing the pOwlr Of veal III.
Combinations are dangerous. as lney
disregard law. Justice, right and lUD-
lie opinion. Human beings are re-
garded as SO much property in the
market. and sympathy is an unknown
gu llity. SO far as the conditions of in
diyidualS are concerned.
Nothing but ruin can follow the
WORK of TRUSTS" for any system that

reach point where their goods will

of 1888. when so many persons were
out of employment, the warehouses
were filled with articles that could not

greater than ever before.
Trusts" will control the volume of
