DISCUSSION OF TRUST EVIL.

The report of the Industrial Com
mission, which was made public a few
days ago, contains a candid discus
sion of the subject of trusts by Hon.
Thomas w. Philips, formerly member
of Congress for the Twenty-fifth Penn
sylvania district. The fact that Mr..
Philips is a Republican of promin-
ence and long standing gives added
weight to his statements, which are all
in support of the Democratic conren-
tons in regard to the great combina-
lions of capital known as trusts. His
argument is explicit and concise and
carries that force which comes from a
complete understanding of his sub
ject.
The strongest feature of Mr.. Phil
lpis' argument is, however, his clever
quotation of the trust magnates
themselves in support of his conten-
tions. After asserting to the general
iliES ~ INC lldJOl lly, VII AtilpRc
states that their recommendations are
not sufficiently explicit to serve as a
basis for Congressional legislation and
proceeds to point out the evils of the
present system and the proper M
dies. He emphasizes the contention,
long advanced by the Democrats, that
1t is not the combination OF capital for
more economical production that is to
be feared, but the various phases of
monopoly which the trusts enjoy, waieh
Of the Republic.
After citing the evils of the system
OF rebates OF railroad freight rates
which is practiced by all the roads,
Mr.. Philips points u the incon-
sstence of permitting the destruction
OF the small institutions in which this
results, with the Republican policy OF
ETC., by means of a tariff. The same
process of reasoning he applies TO tie
trusts, which, he states u~nequivocally,
never hesitate to destroy the lesser
competitors. The control of these ag-
gregations OF capital was defeated by
the Republican Senators who, during
the last Congress, killed the Hill bill
in committee.
Taking the steel trust as an example,
Mr.. Philips asserts that, OF its total
capitalization OF 81, 400, 900, 900, two
thirds is water and yet it paid divi-
dends during the first nine months of
its existence of $S4, 779, 29S. Taking Mr..
Philips figures as a basis this would
mean that the total dividend for the
arst nine months was at the rate Of
over ~ per cent per annu mon the in
yestment. In conclusion, Mr.. Philips
advocates the government regulation
Of railroad rates or the government
ownership as the alternative. He be-
lieyes That the affairs of the trusts
should be made public, hat they
should be prevented from destroying
their smaller competitors and recon-
mends the immediate passage of the
Hill antitrust measure which wouid
make practical the provisions of the
Sherman antitrust bill as the first step
in the right direction.
