MODERN TRUST METHODS.
Crushing Ont Competitors I'm OrdeI
to Maintain Huge MonOpOIies.

Crushing ont Competitors I'm Order
to Maintain Huge MOnOpOIies.
Attorney General Bonapartk in the Outlook
Every one in trade is supposed by econO-
mists, and also by the common law, TO be
ever striving to reduce the cost or increase
the value OF what he has TO sell, so that
he may undersell his rivals. while yet
earning for himself a fair profit; this pro-
cess is held wholesome and salutary BY
the wisdom and experience of mankind.
But our great trusts are usually formed
and maintained through competition OF
another kind altogether; they often, even
habitually, crush out dealers who VIII not
join them by underselling the latter with
cut regard TO profit or even cost-in short.
by losing money themselves that others
may likewise lose and looking for their
profits TO their undisputed monopoly in the
near future, when they can charge the
helpless public whatever may be needful
20 recoup their temporary loss. Competi-
tion such as this means. not a contest OF
business ability. industry. and thrifs, but
a contest Of endurance. or, in other words,
o. resources; and It is no less wasteful
materially than debasing morally to the
community.
Moreover, as each species OF vermin has
its peculiar parasite. the modern trust has
bred the biaekmailing independent. the
bogus enterprise existing only that it may
sell out, whose struggle with the trust II
would bleed" SO far as genuine. takes
shape in the same cut-throat competition.
In these contests Of willingness and ability
TO lose money. the influence. often
amounting 10 absolute control, OF the
trusts over our great transportation COM
panies has been freely used and very ef-
fectively: rebates and 'differentials"
and discriminating rates generally have
been the most useful weapons Of our huge
m0nOpolies
