Why l'ormora Cimuot Form u Trout.
, A trust Is un agreornent among hitor*
estell partios to control price? of tho arti
cles which they handle in common. Tho
parties concerned may ho oithcr persons,
stock companies or corporations, For
reason;-, afterwards HIIOWII, tho parlies
in a trust aro usually corporations.
Tho trust agroemont may luivo many
forms while aiming at its primary ob
ject of controlling pricoB. If there woi'O
threo men, each hi business for himself,
who controlled among thom tho entire
product of ii curtain article, a truu
might bo formed by each of thom honor
ably agreeing not to sell iii? manufac
tures below a certain sum, or, not to sell
his manufactures except in certain lo
calities. This would practically bo a
trust, and a perfectly legal ono at thnb.
'l'Kero i1? nothing illegal ot* humeral in
men verbally agreeing to sustain prices
or to restrict output, provided they ?top
at that point.
A moro usual form of trust, howover,
is that formed by a number of corpora
tions. Thero aro two ways in which this
ls done. Ono is to agree that euch cor
poration will combine to nimiago its ow n
affairs, but that in cases of necessity
tho concerns which make profits will
transfer some portion of their oiirningH
to thoso that make nono. This was tho
chrysallis form of many of tho present
full blown trusts. As an arrangement
between corporations, this was perfectly
legal in itself, though it could not bo put
in the form of a binding contract.
Tho full-blown trust is made by tho
pooling of Interests of tho shareholders
of more than ono corporation. For ex
ample, the sugar trust comprises all tho
lehners of that article excupt ono in \hv>
United Stales, and several of theso ro
llners were in tho form of incorporated
companies. Def oro tho trust was forme 1
other lehners hastonod to 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
in vol veil, were first selected. To theso
trustees wcro confided by tho sharehold
er!! in tho various corporations tho en
tiro Kcl'.'et which represented their inter
est in ti rei'i'iory. The trustees at once
locked tip these share certificates .'L'-d is
sued against them now certificates, call
ed trust certificates, in which tho receipt
ol' tlie shares was acknowledged.
These trust certificates represented a
proportional aharo of all the refineries
comprised in tho trust. Each of these
refineries was previously valnod, and
this valuation was added on to tho total
amount of tho sum for which trust cer
tificates woro issued.
In ibis form of trust there is something
illegal, though not very much. A cor
poration is in its vory nalino moro or
less of a monopoly. It ls a kind of legal
ized conspiracy among ti number of men
to do something which none of them
could do separately. In olden times
corporations were regarded in this light,
and had to pay largo sums to tho king
or to the ntato for their charter bf incor
poration.
liven in theso modern days tho otalo
does not recklessly confer privileges oil
favored individuals. Corporations uro
expressly prohibited by law from en
gaging in any other pursuits than thosj
for which they bavo been incorporated.
in most cases they aro forbidden by tho
state to amalgamate with similar bodies
or take 11113' other steps ut tho dictation
of ?1 majority of tho stockholders which
might impair or render powerless tho
rights ol' the minority. So that a com
binai ion, which really amounts to amal
gamai ion, ol' .several corporations, with
out tho express sanction of the state, i i
illegal, and can bo punished, so far as tho
corporation li concerned, by tho forfeit
ure of its charter.
But tho real objection to trusts does
not lio in their combining together, 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 B,
nell sugar in a village, it is perfectly legal
and perfectly justifiable that A should
undersell B in the prico of his sugars.
But il is neither legal nor justifiable for
A to enter into ti conspiracy w ith C?, ?,
10 and F, all doing hilliness in other
towns, to sell sugar at a profit in their
respect!vii towns in order to givo a certain
proportion of thoso profits to A, in order
that ho may undersell B tit a loss to him
self, until B ls ruined and has lo go out
if business.
The usual effect aimed at in combin
ing di It?rent concerns is to save some of
tho expenses of management, and sb
turn out products at a cheaper rate.
But as full blown trusts are illegal, their
management is expensive, and also tho
corporations from which tho trust was
evolved still remain in form, though
not in substance, as before. Thero aro
Btill hoards of director.-! lo rogk-iter tho
decrees of tho trust magnates, tho chair
man still signs his name and thu secre
tary still iillixes the common seal of tho
corporation. For these futile services,
good payments aro made.
So that trusts in this present form do
not save any money in expenses of man
agement. Tho suppression of competi
tion and the limitation of production aro
tho two factors by which trusts nmko
largo profits.
fi? including all the principal concerns
in tho trust when first formed, tho ele
ment of competition is soon eliminated
by ruining thu smaller concerns. Tbivi
Is done, ?us before told, by underselling
them at a loss. Having thus obtained n
practical monopoly, tho trust next limits
production so that prices riso until a
comfortable profit is assured. Then its
officers keep vigilant watch for any at
tempt, to interfere with its monopoly,
and crush out such ventures regardless
of any moral or legal scruples.
Profits made un.'.cr such conditions
V
ore ou a pill- with Eighteenth century ,
highway robbery. Vet in sugar, petro
leum, cotton need oil, wittie lead, cop
per ntul ninny other substances, prlccB
uro uriiiloially maintained hy trust mo
nopolios. PV>r I'viimni.;, the '-hilted Stalvs
huvo hy far tho richest Copper mines in
tho world. With improved appliances
used liero, tho out put of oro hy each man
makes tho cost of wages very low. ll
was shown sonio yours ugo, in ti report
of tho Tamarack Copper Mining Com
pany, thal copper ore could ho brought
to thc surface of tho mino at less than
four cents, lt was further shown in the
samo report that, after paying tho ex
penses of smelting, relining, freight nod
commission, copper could ho laid down
in Now York city for less than six cents.
Yet tho present price of Lake Superior
copper in tho Now York Metal Exchange
ls eleven cents a pound, or just enough
to prevent tho importation of foreign
copper, w|th n protective duty ol* four
cones ti pound. What this means hardly
needs to ho (old. Tho copper milling
companies in tho Lake Superior district
have paid enormous dividends, more
than their capital stock many times
oven, to their owners. Every brass lock,
every pair of laced shoes, every piece of
copnor wiro, every copper cent has paid
tributo lo these robbers.
Similarly with sugar. The Sugar trust
prout icu) ly controls all tho relineries in
tho United Slates, except that of Claus
Spreckels, in California. Thu cost, of
refining raw sugar, including a moder
ate profit, is five-eighths of a cent. Tho
Sugar trust charges exactly double Ibis
amount , or one and a (pun ter cents. Tho
Sugar trust owners boast that tho United
States' rollnericH can turn out relined
sugar cheaper than any other refluer K'S
in the world. Why should they not be
taken at their word and bo allowed to
beat the world in an unprotected market,
to tho great advantage of tho consumer?
In like manner tho White Lead trust
keeps up tho price of whitelead, and con
sequently of all kinds of paints; tho
Steel Rail trust keeps up tho price of
steel rails, and increases Ibo expenso of
building railways; tho Cotton Seed Oil
trust; keeps up tho price of colton seed
oil, and incidentally bas that article, sub
stituted ns u counterfeit of labio salad
oil.
Everywhere that n protected industry
is smell enough to bo monopolized by ti
few rich capitalists a trust is formed, hot
to reduce expenses and cheapen prices,
but to curtail production and levy ex
orbitant profits oif tho consumer.
But some persons may say, "Why
don't tho farmers form ti trust to raise
tho price of wheat and cattle?" The j
answer to this is, that tho unfortunate
farmer cannot tilford lo do so. As long
us Ibo price of wheat depends on its ex
port value, Ibo foreigner who now buys
American wheat would, if Ibo price of
American wheat sensibly raised, buy
Indian or Russian wheat. So with cattle.
Thorp aro broad spreading pastures in
Australia and Ibo Argentine Republic on
which cattle can bo reared lo competo
against American cattle ill Ibo open
markets of tho world.
For trusts Ibero is only one prompt and
efficacious 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 uro
forced back again to their natural level.
This is tho only specific for trusts.
How tho Fnruior Got? Loft.
If ever a tax was imposed out of "pure
cussedness" it is tho tariff, on common
salt. This substanco is one of tho prime
necessities of life. Man might possibly
find a substituto for broad or moat, but
in sonic form or other ho must have salt
for bis blood, for his tissues, for his
brain, and all tho secretions which help to
carry through tho processes of digestion.
Salt ?snot only a necessity lo man, bul
ono of tho most important raw materials
used in manufacturing industries, lt is
chiefly used in tho United States by far
mers, meat packers and fish curers.
Farmers huvo a multitude ol' uses for
salt. They placo it in lickiug^pans, lo
keep their cattlo and ?heep in good
health. They sprinkle fodder with it.
Butler will not keep without salt, so
largo quantities of it aroused for this
purpose. Then every ono knows that
cheese does not tasto of salt for nothing.
Tho immense moat packing industries
of tho west uso very largo quantities of
salt in making compressed corned beef
and in other modes of preserving fresh
meat.
Fishermen down cast also uso salt in
fish curing. Nota small quantity elinor,
since in tho year 18S0 they paid $120,809
for it.
Largo moat packers aro very rich, and
powerful in a political sense. Nearly
all their preserved goods aro exported.
In actual figures $3,330,07? worth of
rim ned beef products, and $'?,(?17,058
worth of Baited and pickled beef were
exported from Ibo United Stnlos in tho
year 18S8.
But fish canners and meat packers
havo apparently a much greater pull
with tho powers that bo than farmers
huvo. Because, whereas the govern
ment, in tho year ending June, 1887, col
lected $1,438,031 duty on imported salt,
neither tho meat packers nor tho tish can
ners paid any portion of this tax, or else
had a rebuto of tho amount which they
paid when their goods were exported.
Of tho entire quantity of salt imported
Into this country, at least two-thirds aro
for tho farmers' uses. No matter what
pried fino foreign salt is, tho dairy farmer
who makes butler must apparently buy
it or sillier bis butter to bo classed
among inferior qualities.
Yet the farmer gels no rebato on ac
count of tho salt in tho dairy products
which ho exports out of this country.
Tho fish curer gels his salt free; the meat
packer gets a rebato of thu onliro duty
und Ibo funner gets loft.
Tho latest art ?clo said to bo under
valued by tho assistant secretary of tho
treasury is linoleum. Tho Now York
appraiser nome (imo ago raised tho
standard of imported linoleums ono
grade nil around. Tho importers ap
pealed and tho matter was referred to
tho managing partner of a very large do
mestic linoleum ngoucy, Ho decided at
once that tho imported goods were un
dervalued. Why not?

Kiwis About Cotton 8eo?? Oil.
For human food, olivo and cotton
seed oils uro far superior to lard, or to
any other animal tut. Olive oil luis
held that rank in the estimation (d'
seioutist and medical mon from tho
earliest period ol' recorded history. It
is only of lute years that analyses by
chemists, experiments in diet by emi
nent physicians and practical use hy
skillful housekeepers have combined
to demonstrate that in o very respect
and for All uses tho oil of tho cotton
seed is equal to that ot tho olive.
Tin's fact once established, a market
will bo inndo for pure cotton seed oil
that will be co-extonsivo with that
now occupied by olivo oil. It will,
indeed, become its competitor in all
parts of tho world. Tho Manufao
turora' Record, of Baltimore, believ
ing that tho time has como when tho
South should make a vigorous move
in behalf of cotton seed oil, instead of
simply neting on the defensivo in the
repeated assaults tundo in Congress on
tho purity of this oil, after an ela
borate investigation, has accumulated
n mass of information, and proposes to
publish next week the first of a series
of articles that will cover tho whole
subject. In these it will bo shown
beyond controversy or shadow of
doubt that cotton seed oil is tho best
unhid oil in tho world, and that it
should bo put tinhn tho market on its
merits, bearing its own name, and its
excellence for culinary purposes ho
persisiensly set forth until it receive:!
popular approval and enters into ?is
universal consumption as butter or
lard. These articles, which will run
through several months, will provo of
i tn menso value to tho whole South, by
greatly widening the market for cot
ton seed oil.
