Tended to Develop Trade.

From the development of more accu-
rate economic conceptions and the
changes in conditions of society it came
to be recognized that the acts prohibited
by the engrossing, forestalling, etc, stat
utes did not have the harmful tendency
which they were presumed to have when
the legislation concerning them was
enacted, and therefore did not Justify the
presumption which had previously been
deduced from them. but On the con,
trary. such acts tended to fructify and
develop trade.
1T is remarkable that nowhere at COM
mon law can there be found prohibition
against the creation of monopoly by an
individual. This would seem to manifest
either consciously or intuitively a pro-
found conception as to the inevitable
operation of economic forces and the
equipoise or balance in favor OF the pro-
lection of the rights Of individuals which
deemed that monopoly in the concrete
could only arise from an act of sovereign
power. and such sovereign power being
restrained, prohibitions as to individuals
were directed not against the creation
of monopoly. but were only applied to
such acts in relation to particular sub
jects as to which 1t was deemed IL not
restrained some of the consequences Of
monopoly might result. After all. this
was but an instructive recognition Of the
truisms that the course Of trade could
not be made free by obstructing it and
that an individuals right to trade could
not be protected by destroying such right.
Freedom Of Contract.
'From the review just made 1t clearly
results that outside OF the restrictions
resulting from the want Of power in an
individual to voluntarily and unreason-
ably restrain his right to carry on his
trade or business, and outside Of the want
of right to restrain the free course Of
trade by contracts or acts which Inn
| piled a wrongful purpose. freedom to con-
tract and to abstain from contracting and
| to exercise every reasonable right incl
dent thereto became the rule id the Eng
| fish law. The scope and effect of this
freedom to trade and contract IL clearly
