CORPORATIONS GROWTH
Vast Possibilities of Interna
tional Trade Largely Re.
aponsible for Trusts.

The days when business was To-
cal affair OF individual with individual
were the days when people were
scattered, knowing little of each other
and having no dealings with each 9th
CIR outside the radius of q few miles,"
says Appleton's Magazine. "Then
steam and. later. electricity came into
mans service; and then by leaps and
bounds. the possibilities of trade be-
came extended to a radius of hun
dreds of miles. even of thousands OF
miles. Vast possibilities of interna-
tionaI trade doomed up. The corpora
ton spraing into active being as an
inevitable result of this expansion OF
trade; for no one man, no firm, no
small company. could provide the cap
ital or the organization to cope will,
such opportunities. The only bridge
that can span the ocean Ia the cor
poration. The real cause OF the cor
poration was not SO much the selfish
aims OF few men as the imperative
necessities OF all men.
1.-THE first stage of corporationism
was one OF confiict--ahe old destruc-
tive competition carried forward un-
der the new business forms. Trade
could be carried farther, much farther
than before: and so A Invaded BIS ter
ritory and B retaliated. The fighting
became faster and more furious, and
the war in commerce became hand
to- hand conflict. The trenches were
being filled with able. splendid men
who fell In the colossal struggles. Cut
gates and rebates became the order
OF the day. Many railroads and many
houses which had been successful in
legitimate lines of business went down
In bankruptcy. Labor suffered AMI
the public suffered. The cost OF doing
business steadily Increased; for war
costs money. 1t became imperative
that something he done to end tho
havoc. Prosperity could come only
with peace. Instinctively, in way
unconsciously. men began to get to-
gether1 mot so much FOR profit as fol
protection; and SO. under conditions
which, in the mechanical develop
ment Of the world, came on as natur-
