ANCIENT MONOPOLlES.

Trusts, Combines and Mergers Are
Certainly Not New Things.
In this day of trusts and mergers, it
is Interesting, perhaps little comfort
ing, to find that, like every other good
and evil under the sun, trusts are no
new thing. They are at least as ancient
as the pyramids.
The earliest form of trust was the
cornering of foodstuffs by monarchs
and their agents. Assyrian records
seven or eight thousand years old give
accounts Of these monopolistic transac-
tons.
In the days of the Romans monopoly
was a recognized institution. The Ro-
man government farmed out taxes.
The tax farmer placed embargoes on
the food supplies of the provinces to
make up arrears in taxes.
In the Middle Ages the trade guilds
controlled the output of certain arts
and industries, and also the means of
distribution. This form of monopoly.
like the famous league of the Hanse
free towns. was for protection against
competition from towns not in the
league. 1t was in the hands of many
merchants, and so had not the worst
element of such trusts as are controlled
by few. But it was common prac-
tlce Of English monarchs to grant
monopolies to court favorites.
The most complete monopoly in the
Middle Ages was the Venetian control
Of shipping in the Adriatic, which was
powerful enough to turn an entire cru
SADIE from its holy purpose to the cap
ture of Christian town which Venice
wanted. 1t was the price the crusad-
ers had to pay for ships to transport
them to Palestine AS the dOge was
absolute In authority, he was the head
of perfect maritime trust When the
Council Of Ten We're in control its menu
bers grew enormously rich.
