DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Trusts Versus the Public Welfare The greatest menace to the public welfare now confronting our people is the formation and operation of the great industrial combinations commonly called trusts, whose purpose is the regulation of production, wages, and prices, and the destruction of competition to the end of complete monopoly of the business of the country. There is not one of the great combinations but is bending its every talent, energy, and power to obtain supreme control of every market within our boundaries to give it an outlet for its wares, and there is not one of them that does not exhibit a marked determination to extort the highest price that can be gotten for its goods without encouraging by extreme prices the building and operation of new independent plants and renewal of competition.
