Some Remarks on Trusts.

Mr. Pettigrew produced figures which he
maintained showed that neither the Stan
dard Oil Company nor the American Sugar
Refining Company really had cheapened
their products, their action at all times
being directed toward the crushing out of
competition and the increasing OF their
own profits. Mr.. Stewart contended that
such combinations Of capital were good
and others bad.
Mr.. Teller thought trusts should be dealt
with by the states, but many Legislatures
unfortunately are controlled by the trusts
themselves. National legislation of a kind
that could or would be enforced was there
fore desirable.
The amendment offered by Mr.. Berry
