TRUTH ABOUT The TRUST
Expected Economies from Combine
tion" Do Not Materialize.

(Louis D. Brandeis In Collier's.)
Leaders of the new (Third Term)
party argue that industrial monopo-
lies should be legalized, lest we lose
the efficiency Of large-scale production
and distribution. No argument could
be more misleading.
It may be safely asserted that in
America there IL no line of business
In which all or most concerns or
plants must be concentrated in order
to attain the sise of greatest em'
cheney. For while a business may DO
too small to be efficient, efficiency does
not grow indefinitely with increasing
size. What the most efficient size il
can be learned definitely only by ex.
perieuce. The unit Of greatest ell
cheney is reached when the disadvan-
tages OF size counterbalance the adj
vantages. The unit Of greatest effi.
cheney is exceeded when the disad-
vantages of size outweigh the advan-
tages. The history of American trusts
makes this clear. That history shows:
F1rst-No conspicuous American
trust owes its existence to the desire
for increased efficiency. Expected
economies from combination" figure
largely In promoters prospectuses;
but they have never been a compel.
Ing motive in the formation of any
trust. On the contrary. the purpose of
combining has often been to curb eff.
cheney or even to preserve inef1.
siency, thus frustrating the natural
law of the survival of the fittest.
Second conspicuously proflta-
bic trust owes its profits largely to
superior efficiency. Some trusts have
been very efficient, as have some in
dependent concerns; but conspicuous
profits have been secured mainly
through control OF the market
through the power c. monopoly to fix
prices-through this exercise of the
taxing power.
Third-No conspicuous trust has
been eff1cit ut enough to r, aintain long
as against tie indcpende ats it's pro.
portion of the business of the country
without continuing to bly, up, from
time to tine, IS success -ul compett

duty. On these three samples the 70,
duction averaged 6.66 per cent on the
former dutya reduction from 116.70
per cent under the Dingleys law to
11044 per cent under the Payne-Al-
dr1ch law. On one Of the silk and cot
ton samples there was an increase
amounting to 21.98 per cent. The fifth
Of the silk and cotton samples was left
unchanged. .-... "a
On the forty.f1ve Of the ninety.five
all cotton samples there was no change
In duty.
On the three remaining samples
completing the total Of 1907 no com"
parison is made because Of apparent
lack Of authentic foreign prices. :,
Mr.. TAT: Was Mistaken.
And still President Taft said in his
speech at Boston. April rs last:
1T (the PayneAldrich billy was q
vastly better bill than the Dingley
bill. II I had refused to sign the
Payne bill it. would have maintained
the Dingley bill With higher rates than
the Payne bill" ND w. - ,.:.<::
When Mr.. TAFT made this statement
he must have known that it was un.
true As for the wool schedule, he
knew that the rates were not higher
In the Dingley law than In the Payne.
Aldrich law, for right after signing
the latter bill did he not denounce its
wool rates as ''indefensible?" And,
as for the cotton rates of the Payne
bill, he knew they were just as "in-
defensible" as the wool rates, for at
the time he made this statement in
Boston he had tho tariff boards report
on cotton before him.
It is true that the cotton report of
the tariff board did not make this in.
formation available at a glance to Mr..
Taft or to congress or to the public.
The tariff board carefully avoided CIV
ing this information in a getatable,
understandable form.
Suppressed the Answer.
"Was the tariff raised or lowered?"
has been an insistent question ever
since the Payne-Aldrich law was en-
acted three years ago. The tariff
board avoided answering It.
In making my official report to the
board submitted table that did
answer this question in respect to each
one, excepting three, of the 100 cloth
samples around which our months of
Investigation centered. After much
sidestepping and discussion this table
was expurgated and published in it's
emasculated form. The boards excuse
was that 1t was not It's duty to answer
the question; congress could make it's
own computations.
Benefit Only to Privilege.
From every point Of view of the
tariff CRATER It IL no doubt highly de-
sirable that such facts, staggering as
they are to the dishonest pretensions.
that the cotton tariff was really lower
ed, should be buried as deeply as pos
sible in mass Of unexplained Stats
tics. But it is to the advantage Of
every honest manufacturer and mer-
chant who is seeking stability in bust.
ness and fair opportunity to make a
reasonable profit that the truth should
be made known. Just such policies OF
official evasion and suppression have
made possible in the past the Juggling
Of tariff legislation by and in behalf of
the privileged few.-New York World.

Nelson w. Aldrich to write the cotton
