A Signal to Break Up.
The decision of the supreme court as
1t grows to be understood in the near
future will be a signal for the volun-
tary breaking up all com binations in
restraint of trade within the inhibi-
ton of the statute, and will, 1 hope,
lead to a complete revulsion of feeling
on the part of the business men of this
country and to a clear understanding
by them of the limitations that must
be imposed by them upon any business
combinations made by them in the flu
ture- The operation of the statute has
illustrated the slowness of judicial pro-
cedure, and of this 1 have often made
complaint; but in the settlement of is
sues of this Importance two decades
are no great length of time, and If in
that period we shall have stamped out
an evil which would certainly have
carried us to socialism as a reaction
from the vicious control of the few
the time spent. the effort and the liti-
cation are worth the cost. There have
been times when among others / have
thought that the enforcement of the
law might have been facilitated had
the courts visited its breach with Sc
verer punishment, but Though the
