On Trusts.
There is another subject I think will
not be devoid of interest to the manufac-
turers of Illinois, and that is the So
called trusts or combinations of capital.
IN country as large as ours, carrying on
enormous undertakings, large amounts
OF capital are necessary and this capital
can be more readily furnished by cor
porate ownership than in any other way
There are a few individuals in the coun-
try who might furnish fifty or a hundred
mllllonS of dollars with which to carry on
any particular branch of business, but
there is no certainty that they would fur
niSn one dollar. A man with that amount
OF money does not need all the trouble
ana annoyance attending a large BUSH
that this work shall be done through cor
porate effort and no harm is likely to
come to the country growing out of the
magnitude of the business. Has the
enormous business of the Krupp COM
pany in Germany injured the German ma
ton, or any of its people? On the con-
OF the name of Krupp. Can anyone in
this country point out an injury inflicted
on the people which can be traced to the
The only serious objection to trusts has
been the method of creating them, not

Ii 1T is the desire of the general gov
eminent through congress to prevent the

was within their reach.

should be held to urnform provision of
federal law, that they should satisfy a
commission that their capital stock was
at a fair valuation, just as the capital of
the national banks are certified to be paid
up by the. controller of the currency. 1t
is only fair to a dealer in Minnesota or
claims to have ten, twenty or fifty mill
lions of capital, desiring to do business in
that state, that the dealer should know
that the company's, solvency has been
passed upon by federal commission and
that it's capital was what it was adver-
tlsed to. be. With that simple law, the
purpose of selling prospective profits
would be at an end: and, at the same
time, no legitimate business would suf-
fer; nor would any number of indivi-
through corporation, suffer any hard
ship because their actual capital was as
they advertised it to be. We have been
as nation patton too ready to look to state
which are beyond their power to give.
The laws of trade are as certain in
their operation as the laws of gravita
ton. You might as well try to set a
broken arm by statute as to change a
commercial law by legislative enactment

perience. and the survival of the fittest
