THE GATHERING STORM.

The trade papers are beginning to
realize that the consultations and
combinations which are now absorb
ing most OF the great industries of the
country are Fastening the day of anti
trust legislation. The Metal Worker,
while making defense of the new
steel trust, yet sees the possibilities of
legislation which will make such COM
binatiOn impossible II suggests that
the undertaking was forced by the
desire to protect existing interests,
seriously threatened as they We're by
possible warfare rather taan by =
desire to unload the properties upon
the public at inflated prices. Ii thinks
it sees an advantage in the trust in
that the concentration of power IN
the hands of one large consolidation
is expected 10 bring about decided
steadying of the markets.
1t speaks in a commonplace way of
one OF the great evils of the trust. say
ing: AS a competitor. so huge an
organization could develop very dan
gerous strength by Waging war IN one
territory and drawing the sineWS
therefor from uncontested markets.
The Metal Worker evidently under
stands the methods employed by the
trusts-methods which some strange
to say. seem TO regard as legitimate
business And yet the paper quoted
cannot refrain from a prOphesy of
trouble. 1t says:
1T will take clever management ON
the part OF the consolidation to meet
and break the force of aroused public
opinion. Imagination is sure TO be
inflamed by the colossal undertaking
now about to be consummated. and
there will be many who are eager TO
fan the flames"
And again:
1T is certain that the new consoli-
dation will lend much support to the
antitrust agitation, and will be its
shining mark. Keen eyes Will watch
every move. and INSCRIPTIONS dema-
gogues and an unbridled yellow press
will distort even the most trivial in
cident."
1t Will be seen that even the defend
ers of monopoly are conscious that
the storm is gathering. Although
they consider it INSCRIPTIONS and
"demagogic' for any one 10 condemn
a trust yet they are able to measure
the force of public opinion when once
it is aroused and they are fearful lest
the reign of monopoly may, after all,
be shOrt-lived
