All this requires capital and such a tremendous amount that no ordinary corportion could stand it. The so-called trusts are not new. They have been found in England and Germany as far baek as 200 years and are increasing. Therefore, from a business standpoint of view, the formation of these combinations, in one sense, is one stepforward. The democrats would have you believe that they are terrible anacondas that will swallow us all up.
