THE rlERdER DECISION.

court of the United States are
not always popular, but the
Minnesota people rejoice in the
anti-merger decision which
was handed down Monday.
The logic of the decision is
clear-cut. and easily understood
by everyone. Justice Harlan
said that in the merger of the
two roads the stockholders dis
appeared and reappeared in
the Securities company, the
two thus becoming practically
consolidated in a holding COM
pany, the principal object being
to prevent competition.
"No scheme or devise could
certainly more effectly come
within the prohibition of the
antitrust law, and it is within
the meaning of the act a trust"
Replying in detail to the
points made for the Securities
company, Justice Harlan said
that the contention that the
law is an interference with the
rights of the individual states
by which the companies are
incorporated was not we'll
founded. In such cases, he
said, the authority of congress
is supreme.
Justice Harlan said that in
this day there should be no
doubt of the complete power of
congress to control interstate
commerce; all appropriate
means might be resorted to for
that purpose. All the prior
trust cases were in support of
that contention. Whether free
and unrestrained competition
was wise, he said, was an eco
nomic question, with which
the court need not concern it.
self; the question was that of
statutory law.
off" he went on "the Securi-
ties company's contentious are
sound, why may not all the
railroads of the United States
unite into combination and
by the devise of holding cor
poration control rates turnout
the country in defiance of con-
gress.
Justice Harlan declared that
the only object of the merger
was to prevent competition,
and he said that if no one else
knew this to be the case, J.
Pierpont Morgan, one of the
defendants, knew that to have
been the case.
Extracts from Morgan's tes-
timony were quoted in support
of this statement.
. Continuing Justice Harlan
said that "this combination u.s.,
within the meaning of the act,
a trust, but if not it is combi-
nation in restraint of interstate
aud international commerce
and that is enough to bring it
under a com bination of the
fact" 80
He held that if such a COM
bination were not destroyed,
"all the advantages that would
naturally come to the public |
under the operation of the gen
eral laws of competition, as be-
tween the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railway COM
panies will be lost, and the en-
tire commerce of the immense|
territory in the northern part
of the United States between
the Great Lakes and the Pacific
at Puget Sound, will be at the.

ton in so far as they relate to
the tariff issue by no means
represent the position of the
thinking Republicans of the
county. The resolutions were
drafted by some politician who
in his precipitious haste to en-
dorse Congressman Volstead's
views displayed the .densest
ignorance of the tariff ques-
ton.
Xxx
For many years past, the Re
publicans of Minnesota, Iowa
and several other Northwest
ern states have been convinced
that the time was at hand for
a readjustment of the tariff.
With the changes in the devel-
opment of the country, the
schedules of the Dingley tariff
law are more or less out of
date. Any candid Republican
will admit that the tariff has in
some cases become the shelter
of monopoly. The illustration
of the cheaper price of farm
machinery abroad than at
home has been worn thread
bare, and yet it is a fact, and a
gross Injustice to the farmers
of the Northwest. Where the
tariff wall shelters such a mon
opoly, it should be lowered
sufficiently to allow the latent
competition of other manufac-
turing countries to assert itself
in case the harvesting machin-
cry trust becomes too expensive
an "infant industry"
Reciprocity has also found
it's strongest advocates in the
Northwest, as it was thought
that thru reciprocal treaties
much could be accomplished
in an indirect way which could
not be done in a direct way
toward working out some of
the discrepancies of the pres
ent schedules. This was the
policy of Blaine and Mckinley,
and anyone who says that
those statesmen believed only
in reciprocity in "non-competi-
tive" products have not read
! carefully the public utterances
of those great statesmen, es-
pecially McKinley's. Recipro-
city is simply business ar
rangement in which both par
ties exchange what is actually
of value to them for something
which is of greater value to the
party receiving it. "Recipro-
city in non-competitive prod
ucts" is simply the the ex-
l'i-r~e cf w1,@+ s of no value
to either party, as when two
boys trade jackknives. In fact
a tariff on a non-competitive
product has place in a prctec-
tive system, but may very pro-
perly be put in a tariff law in
order to produce revenue.
The East has been very
much opposed to any changes
in the tariff, and while they
could not but admit the Unjust
ice of certain schedules, yet
they elected to "stand pat"
The "stand-patters" had little
sympathy in the West, and
have very little yet-until this
Canadian free wheat PROPOSE
ton came up. Minnesota has
been for reciprocity and is now
but she does not propose that |
her wheat be traded for Moth
ing, to benefit a small class
here at home.
But there is rejoicing i'll the
ranks of the stand-patters, and
they are nursing this so-called
anti-reciprocity sentiment in
tho Northwest in Or5as- that !
Morris tribune., 1904-03-19

To get back to the resolu-
tons adopted at the county
convention, it can be seen from
the foregoing discussion that
had they been drafted by any
one having the best interests of
the farmers at heart, the reso-
lutions would have had some
thing to say about the real
reciprocity sentiment in this
state and in this county.
Such resolutions would have
much better expressed Mr..
Vo1stead's views, if he meant
what he said in his speech.
