Industrial combination formed the topic
fer Discussion.
The first speaker on the economic ques-
tohs involved in Industrial combinations
WssW. II. Baldwin. Jr, president of the
Loag Island railroad. who elucidated the
ueaning Of the term trust.
N ;he first place, he said, "a trust is
eoubinaton of capital to purchase raw
neterial; secCpdly, to pay high rate
Of wages, and, thirdly, to sell at a lower
Price than could be offered by any smaller
summation OF capital"
mat, said Mr.. Baldwin, was the only
ANA OF trust, either economic or political
mat could survive public opinion or the
trusts.
IN. Baldwin gave it as his opinion that
we onward current toward combinations
Vuia not be stopped, and that the aim
~, nus DO to control the trust. and to guide
y along so as to make it serve for the
sGnmon good.

salngs as partial monopolies. He said
sadt IL was characteristic of smaller COM
Ihauons that they were under similar
nanagement and under the watchful eye
tne man whose pocket was Affected by
~ methods employed. The test Of the
se combinations. he said was whether
,sney could survive under hired manage
snSn', and he contended that some OF to
sneged advantages OF combinations on a
N'rge scale were elusory.

whether the treaty was ratified or not,
' II II should be agreed TO by the senate
and should be determined thnt the ipresi
