BRYAN ON THE TRUSTS
DEFINITE STATEMENT IN RE.
GARD TO HIS POSITION.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, September 1.-THE
Iron Trade Review has obtained from Will
liam ]. Bryan more definite statement of
his position in regard to the so-called
trusts. In letter to Mr.. Bryan George
Smart. editor of that paper, said:
I'm your recent address at Madison
Square Garden, New York. you defined a
trust to be any corporation which con-
trolls so much Of the product of any ar
ticle that 1t can fix the terms. and condi-
tons Of SALE Later in your address you
said: 1t is far easier to prevent a monop-
oily than to watch 1t and to punish 1t. and
this prevention can be accomplished In a
practical way by refusing license to any
corporation which controls more than q
certain portion of the total product, this
which will give lree operation to competi-
fiOn.

'In all of the products the percentage

since the corporation was organized with
the exception of coke and wire nails. The
question which, it seems to me. is per-
tinent to ask Is whether you consider that

account OF manufacturing the percentage
and for that reason should be refused a
license. II you consider .ue percentage
too large, to what extent would you COM

To this letter Mr.. Bryan responded as
follows:
you favor at hand. ank you for the
information given In regard to the steel
trust. I note that in some cases It con-
trolls more than half Of the product and
in some cases less. I am not prepared to
state Just how much q proportion a cor
poration can control without becoming q
trust in the sense that 1t limits COMPETE
ton, and competition controls the price
end terms of sale. For the conduct of my
own paper drew the line at fifty per cent.

cent of the product in which 1t deals. I

The details are less important. as they can
be determined according to experience and
