THE TRUSTS.
How Shall We Deal With Them:
BY I. L. ALBERT.

~ HE trusts at present are receiving
large share of public attention.
L They are the subject of frequent
discussion, but the discussion seldom
goes beyond the point of denunciation.
So far no adequate remedy for their
control has been suggested. Nor is
this surprising, for any plan that may
be proposed for dealing with them
would be opposed, not only by all those
who are directly or indirectly
benefited by the trusts as they
exist, but also by those to whom the
plan might not commend itself. Hence
the Individual who undertakes to form
ulate a plan for dealing with trusts
may count on the certain opposition Of
one class with the support and opposi-
ton he may receive from the other an
unknown quantity.
There is another reason why many
men hesitate to discuss plans Ar deal
ing with trusts, and that is, it would
involve an inquiry into the causes
which produced them, and these causes
discussion of the former might serious
lie SO near the foundations of the
whole existing industrial system that a.
Iy disturb the latter. Conservatism
shrinks from such possibility.
The comprehensive charge against
the trusts is that they prevent compe-
tition. To the popular mind there aP-
pear to he two stings in this charge.
First, to prevent competition, many
combine under one general head, and,
instead of a multitude of small con-
Germs, inperpetual warfare for larger
share of the markets, there is practic-
ally one, and the warfare is at an end.
This enables them to dispense with
large part of their working forces. The
men thus thrown out OF employment
naturally see little good in the trusts,
and unite with those opposing them
A moment reflection will convince any
thinking person that this does not, OF
it self, constitute a valid objection to
the trusts The wages of every IRn
enter into and become part of the
price of the products of his labor. The
fewer men required to place given
product on the market, all other things
being equal, the lower its price to the
consumer. If two men are employed
to place a product on the market, where
the services of one would be sufficient,
there is an absolute waste to the con-
suner to the extent of the wages paid
to the man whose services were not
