Even at this late day, when We seem
absolutely committed to the proposition
that there shall be no approach to a mo-
nopoly in trade and that there shall oe
no restraint of trade except that which
is reasonable according to standards
which are and will continue TO be SO
vague, uncertain, and Illogical as to be
almost unintelligible, would it not be a
good thing for us il we should analyze
the facts and the situation scientifically
and systematically so as to determine as
a matter OF knowledge and not of spccu-
lation what has actually been accom-
plished by the enforcement OF the ShSr-
man law in the direction of enhancin:
our bational prosperity by building up
business and reducing prices to the con-

OF economic value or tlc reverse: secono.
