FORMED.

How (Ito Copper Monopoly hi Sustiiliiod.
Why KrtrmcrH Citnnot Form n Trout.
A trust is nn agreement among Inter
ested parties to control prices of tho arti
cles whiph tlioy hantllo in common. Tho
parties concerned may ho either persons,
stock companies or corporations. For
reasons, afterwards shown, tho parties
in a trust aro usually corporations.
Tho trust agreement may havo many
forms whilo aiming at its primary ob
ject of controlling prices. If thoro woro
turee men, each in business for himself,
who controlled among thom tho cntiro
product of a certain article, a trust
might ho formed hy each of them honor
ably agreeing not to sell ins manufac
tures below a certain sum, or, not to sell
Iiis manufactures oxcept in certain lo
calities. This would practically ho a
trust, and a perfectly legal ono at that.
Thorp is nothing illegal or immoral io
men verbally agreeing to sustain .prices
or to restrict output, provided thoy stop
at that point.
A moro usual form of trust, however,
is that formed by a numhor of corpora
tions. Thoro are two ways in which this
is done. Ono is to agreo that each cor
poration will combino to manage its own
aludra, hut that in cases of necessity
tho concerns which mnko profits will
transfer some portion of their earnings
. to those that make none. This was tho
chrysallis form of many of tho present
full blown trtists. As au arrangement
hot ween corporations, this was perfectly
legal in itself, though it could not ho put
in ino form of a binding contract.
Tho full-blown trust is mado by tho
pooling ot' interests of the shareholders
of moro than ono corporation. For ex
ample, tho sugar trust comprises all tho
roilnors ol' that article except ono in tho
United States, and several of thoso re
liners woro in tho form of incorporated
companies, lief oro tho trust was formed
other rclhiors hastened lo incorporate
themselves and their associates.
When all were ready, tho sugar trust
was formed. A number of trustees, rep
resenting each of tho larger interests
involved, woro first selected. To thoso
trustees woro confided by tho sharehold
ers in tho various corporations tho en
tire script which represented their inter
est in a. rollnery. The trustees at onco
locked up these sh aro ccrlillcates and is
Biiod against, them now certif?calos, call
ed trust certificates, in which the receipt
of tho shares was acknowledged.
These trust certificates represented a
proportional share of all the refineries
comprised in tho trust. F/.ie.h of thoso
refineries was previously valued, and
this valuation was oddod on lo tho total
amount of tho sum for which trust cer
tificates woro issued.
In this form of trust there is something
illegal, though not very much. A cor
poration is in its very naturo moro or
loss of n monopoly. It is a kind of legal
ized conspiracy among a number of men
to do something which nono of thom
could do separately. In olden timed
corporations wore regarded in this light,
and had to pay largo sums to the king
or to tho atiito for their charter of incor
poration.
lOvon in thoso modern days tho stat?
does not recklessly confer privileges on
favored individuals. Corporations aro
expressly prohibited hy law from en
gaging in any other pursuits than thoso
for which they have been incorporated.
In most cases they aro forbidden by tho
stato to amalg?male willi similar bodies
or take any other steps at tho dictation
of a majority of tho stockholders which
might impair or rnndor powerless tho
rights of tho minority. So that a com
bination, which really amounts to amal
gamation, of several corporations, with
out the express rinnet ion of tho state, is
illegal, and can ho punished, so far ns t ho
corporation is concerned, hy tho forfeit
ure of its charter.
But tho real objection to trusts does
not lio in their combaning togother, orin
tho pooling of their interests. It lies in
the illegal methods which aro too often
used by such combinations to crush out
competition. If two parties, A and II,
sell sugar in a village, it is perfectly legal
nnd perfectly justiHablo that A should
undersell B in tho prico of Ids sugars.
Hut it is neither legal nor justifiable for
A to enter into a conspiracy with 0, 1),
K and F, all doing business in other
towns, to oeil sugar at a profit in their
respective towns in order to given certain
proportion of thoso profits to A, in order
that ho may undersell H ala loss lo him
self, until His ruined and has to go out
of business.
Tho usual efi'oct aimed at in combin
ing different concerns is to save some of
tho expenses of management, and BO
turn out products at a cheaper rato.
Hut as full blown trusts are illegal, their
management is expensive, and also tho
corjxmilions from which the trust was
evolved still remain in form, though
not in substance, as before. Thorp aro
still boards of directors to register tho
decrees of tho trust magnates, tho chair
man ?till signs his name and the secre
tary still affixes tho common seal of tho
corporation. For thoso futilo services,
good payments aro made.
Ho that trusts iii this presont form do
not savo any money in expenses of man
agement. Tho suppression of competi
tion and tho limitation of production aro
tho two factors by which trusts mnko
largo profits.
By including all tho principal concerns
in thc trust when first foumod, tho (de
ment of competition is soon eliminated
by ruining tho smaller concerns. This
ls dono, ns boforo told, hy underselling
thom at a loss. Having thus obtained a
practical monopoly, tho trust noxt limits
production so that prices riso until a
comfortable profit is assured. Thou its
officers keep vigilant watch for any at
tempt to interfere with its monopoly,
and o>;u?h out such ventures rcgardlcse
of any moral or legal Boru pies.
? Profits mado under such conditions
ure on a par with Eighteenth coulure
highway robbery. Yet in sugar, polio
lenin, cotton seed oil, whito lead, coo
per and many other substances, pHcnj
aro artificially maintained by trust mo
nopolies. For oxntnpk?, the United States
havo by far Ibo riebest copper minen MI
tho world. With improved appliances
used here, tho output of oro by each man
makes the cost of wages very low. lt
vi ns shown somo years ago, io a report
ot the Tamarack Copper Milling com
pany, that Copper oro could bo brought
to the surface of tho mino at less than
four cents. It was further shown in the
I same report that, after paying tho ox
I penses of smelting, refining, freight and
commission, copper could be hud down
in Now York city for less than six cents.
Yet the present price of Lalee Superior
copper in the New York Metal Exchange
is eleven cents a pound, or just enough
to prevent the importation of foreign
copper, with a protective duty of four
cents a pound. What thia means hardly
needs to bo told, The copper mining
companies in tho Lake Superior district
havo paid enormous dividends, moro
than their capital stock many times
over, to their owners. livery brass lock,
every pair of laced shoes, every piece of
copper wire, every copper cent lias paid
tribute to theso robbers.
Similarly with sugar. Tho Sugar trust
practically controls all tho refineries in
the United States, except that of Claus
Spreckels, in California. Tho cost of
refining raw sugar, including a moder
ate profit, is five-eighths of a cent. Tho
Sugar trust charges exactly double this
amount, or ono and a quarter cents. Tho
Sugar trust owners boast that tho Uniter!
States' rcllneries can turn out relined
sugar cheaper than any other refineries
in Hie world. W hy should they not bs
tnken at their word and bo allowed to
beat tho world in an unprotected market,
to tho great advantage of tho consumer?
In like manner tho Whito Lead trust
keeps up tho price of white lead, and con
sequently of all kinds of paints; tho
Steel Hail trust keeps up the prico of
steel rails, and increases tho expenso of
building railways; tho Cotton Seed Oil
trust keeps up tho price of colton seed
oil, and incidentally has that article sub
stituted as a counterfeit of tablo salad
oil.
Everywhere that a protected industry
is small enough to bo monopolized by a
few rich, capitalists a ii list is formed, not
to reduce expenses, and cheapen prices,
but to curtail production and lovy ex
orbitant profits off the consumer.
Hut somo persons may say, ''Wily
don't tho farmers form a trust t? raise
tho price of wheat and cattle?^ Thc
answer lo this is, that tho unfortunate
farmer cannot alford to do so. As long
ns tho prico of wheat depends on its ex
port value, the foreigner who now buys
American wheat would, if the prico of
American wheat sensibly raised, buy
Indian or Russian wheat. So with cattle.
Thero aro broad spreading pastures in
Australia and thc Argentine Republic on
which cattle can bo reared to compete
ngainst American cattle in tho open
markets of the world.
For trusts Ibero is only ono prompt and
eflicaeious remedy, Whenever a trust
is formed to raise prices in a protected
industry, tho tariff on that protected in
dustry should bo lowered until prices arc
forced back again to their natural level.
Thia is tho only specific for trusts.
How tho Farmer Gota Loft.
If over a tax was imposed out of "pure
cussedness" it is tho tariff on common
salt. This substance is ono of tho prime
necessities of lifo. Man might possibly
find a substituto for bread or meat, bul
in some form or other ho must have sall
for his blood, for his tissues, for hii
brain, and all the secretions which help tc
carry through the processes of digestion.
Salt is not only a necessity to man, bul
ono of tho most important raw material:
used in manufacturing industries. It is
chiefly used in tho United Stales by far
morn, meat packers and fish curers.
Farmers havo a multitude of uses foi
salt. They placo it in licking pans, tc
keep their cattlo and sheep in gout
health. They sprinklo fodder With it
Butter will not koop without salt, sc
I largo quantities of it aro used for thi:
purpose. Then every one knows tba
cheese does not tasto of salt for nothing,
The immense meat poohing industrio:
of tho west uso very largo quantities o
salt in making compressed corned bee
and in other modes of preserving fros!
meat.
Fishermen down east also uso salt ii
Ash curing. Nota small quantity cit ber
since in tho year 1830 they paid $120,80!
for it.
Largo meat packers aro very rich, am
powerful in a political sonso. Noarl;
all their preserved goods aro exported
In actual ligures $3,889,077 worth o
canned beef products, and $2,017,05:
worth of baited and pickled beef wer
exported from tho United States in th
year 1888.
But fish canners and meat packer
havo apparently a much greater pul
with tho powers that bo than farmer
have. Because, whereas tho govern
mont, in tho year ending June, 1887, col
looted $1,438,031 duty on imported sall
neither tho meat packers nor tho fish can
tiers paid any portion of this tax, or els
had a robalo of tho amount which the
paid when their goods were ox ported.
Of the entire quantity of salt importe)
into this country, at least two-thirds ar
for tho farmers' uses. No matter who
price line foreign salt is, the dairy farine
who makes butter must apparently bu,
it or suffer his butter to bo oinssei
among inferior qualities.
Yet the farmer gets no rebate on ac
count of tho salt in tho dairy product
Which he exports out of Ibis country
The fish curer gets his salt free; thorne?}!
packer gets a rebate of tho entire dut
and tho funner gets left.
Tho latest arl icio said to bo undei
valued by tho assistant secretary of 'th
treasury is linoleum. Tho New Yoi'
appraiser somo limo ngo raised th
standard of imported linoleums on
grado all around. Tho importers nj
Iiealed and tho matter was referred t
he managing partner of a very largo ch
mestio linoleum agency. Ile decided t
oneo that tho imported goods wcro ni
dorvalued. AVhy not?
