PARKER PLEDGED TO THE
TRUSTS.
THE

Ex-Attorney Gen. Knox has
brought out the fact with startling
clearness that Parker. in his letter Of
acceptance, has pledged himself, if
elected, to protect the trusts from
hostile legislation. He shows that
the Supreme Court decision which
Parker cited in support of his claim
that "the common law. as developed.
afforded a complete legal remedy
against monopolies' has no such
bearing as Parker said it had 1t APP
piled to charges by telegraph COM
pany to newspapers and had no rela-
ton to trusts or combinations of
trade. Said Mr.. Knox:
"The decision in the case to which
he refers does not mean what it is in
tended the people should think it
can prevent persons from making
combinations and monopolies in res
tralnt OF Interstate commerce, and
that the United States could proceed
against them in common law. An
agreement in restraint of trade is not
and never was unlawful at common
law in any such sense as that the
agreement could be nullified by pub
lie authority, Or that persons not
parties to it could sustain an action
against it for damages. 1t takes stat
ute law to confer such remedies, and
the President is clearly right in say
ing there is no common law of the
United States for any such pur-
pOse.'
Mr.. Knox was charitable to Par
ker in his comment on his misuse of
this decision, saying that in citing it
as he did he "either intended to mis-
lead the people. or he does not know
what the case to which he refers de-
cides. Or what the rule of the COM
mon law is as to combinations in res
traint of trade. I prefer to think the
latter is the correct explanation. -
That lets Parker out on the ground
of ignorance of the law very curl

who has been on the bench Of the

Surviving corporations and in

loss and failure have involved
every branch Of business.

two extracts what Alton B. Parker

people should he be elected and with
