C., TUESDAY, MARCH 323, 1897-TWENTY PAGES dollar appropriations, which have become such a scandal upon Congress, had its or- igin in the unjust system of levying taxes for the purpose of enabling private inter- ests to prey upon the public through the favoritism of the law.” It Fosters Trusts. “The Bill Fosters Trusts” is another head- line, which is explained as follows: “If the system of unnecessary taxation fs indefensible because of the extrava- gance which it encourages, it {s still more so on account of the trusts which it fosters and promotes. It is not more certain pro- tection encourages extravagance than It {s that it breeds unlawful combinations of capital. Indeed, protection is justified upon the avowed theory that competition should be restricted. True enough, it assumes the patriotic pretense that foreign competition ought not to be permitted against our home industries; but they little understand the selfishness of human nature, and espe- cially they little understand ‘the seifish- ness of that human nature which relies upon the favoritism of the law to increase its fortune, who suppose that these men, having secured themselves against foreign competition by the favor of Congress, will fail to secure themselves against domestic competition by voluntary combinations among themselves. “It is an old adage, and it is as true as it is old, that ‘competition is the life of trade,” and whatever tends to restrict com- petition must tend to restrict trade.

Tariff Debate Made Lively by Populist Green of Nebraska. The night session of the House for de- bate on the tariff bill was to have begun at 8 o'clock last night. Speaker Reed had designated Mr. Hopkins of Illirois to offi- ciate in his stead, but Mr. Hopkins had forgotten the appointment, and at 8 o'clock there were twenty-five members on the floor and several hundred spectators in the galleries waiting for the entertainment to begin. Messengers were sent after Mr. Hopkins, and at 8:20 he appeared and call- ed the House to order. About seventy-fi members were scattered through the seats, a majority of them new members, of the democratic side, and most of the speakers any provision for, Gated to incorporate | were from the ranks of the newcomers, Preceet MWe ate rect bounty in the | ‘The first orator was Mr. Robinson (Ind.), present bill.

The speech was sprinkled with repartee and was enthusiastically applauded by the democrats and popullsts. Mr. Carmack (Tenn.), who defeated Jo- siah Patterson, the gold democratic can- didate, asserted that the last campaign had been won solely on the issue of a single gold standard, and that “Cleveland, Car- lisle and those people” had not voted for a high protective tariff. Mr. Brucker (Mich.) sald that the in- crease of duty on pine from the McKin- ley rate of $1 to $2 a thousand feet was in the interest of a few lumber magnates of Michigan, who would make a correspond- ing Increase in the price to the consumer. Another motive of the increase was to drive Canada to put an export bounty on logs ard thus give the entire market to advantage of directness mplicity. he majority of the committee seem to nk that taxaticn can be made a bless- British tax over which the American colonists went to war.

AGAINST THE POOL The Decision Rendered Against a Freight Combination. SUPREME COURT SUSTAINS CONGRESS Telegraph, Express and Telephone Companies Probably Included. ANTI- TRUST ACT STANDS ee SES The decision of the United States Supreme Court yesterday in the case of the United States against the Trai s-Missouri Freight Association is one of far-reaching effect upon railroad traffic. It holds the anti- trust law of 18) to be applicable to rail- read transportation and declares the traffic agreement of the railroad pool to be ille- gal. The pool or “freignt association” in question consisted of the Atchison, Topeke and Santa Fe road and seventeen other rail- road companies. Their agreement was “for the purpose of mutual protection by the establishment and maintaining of reasonable rates. rules and regulations on all freight traffics, both through and local.” It was charged by the government in the circuit court for the district of Kansas that the defendant companies in the association were “engaged in unlawful combination and conspiracy of great injury and grievous prejudice to the common good and the wel- fare of the people of the United States.” ‘The circuit court dismissed the bill, and an appeal was taken to the United States @rcuit court of appeals for the eighth cir- cuit, where the dismissal by the court be- low was sustained. From that ruling an appeal was taken to the United States Su- preme Court, where the former decisions are overruled and the ground taken that the pool was unlawful and amenable io the anti-trust act of 1890. The court stood five to four, the decision being renderea by Jus- tice Peckham, Chief Justice Fuller and Jus- tices Harlan, Brewer and Brown concur- ring. Justice White gave the dissenting opinion, in which Justices Field, Gray and Shiras ccncurred. Congress Sustained. The companies involved in order to avoid the possibility of an adverse decision dis- solved the pool. The court, however, re- fused to play hide-and-seek with them and declined to dismiss the appeal on this ground. The substance of the decision is given in the following extract: “We have held that the trust act did not apply to a company engaged in one state in the refining of sugar in the circum- stances detailed in the case of the United States against E. C. Knight Company, be- cause the refining of sugar under those cir- cumstances bore no distinct relation to commerce between the states or with for- eign nations. “To exclude agreements as to rates by competing railroads for the transportation of articles of commerce between the states would leave little for the act to take effect upon. The interstate commerce act does rot authorize an agreement like the one in question. “It may not in terms prohibit, but it is far from conferring either directly or by implication any authority to make it. If the agreement be legal, it does not owe its validity to any provision of the com- merce act, and if illegal, it is not made so by that act. “The fifth section prohibits what is term- ed pooling, but there is no express pro- vision in the act prohibiting the mainte- nance of traffic rates among competing roads by making such a provision as this, nor Is there any such provision which per- mits it. “The general nature of a contract like the one before us is not mentioned in or provided for in the commerce act. Com- peting and non-connecting roads are not authorized by that statute to make an agreement like this one. “As the commerce act does not authorize this agreement, argument against a re- peal by implication of the provision of the act which it is alleged grants such au- thority, becomes Ineffective. There is no repeal in the case, and both statutes may stand, as neither is inconsistent with the other. Railroads Not Excepted. “We see nothing elther in contempora- neous history, in the legal situation at the time of the passage of the statute, in its legislative history, or in any general dif- ference in the nature or time or trading of manufacturing companies from railroad companies which would lead us to the con- clusion that it can be supposed that the legislature in prohibiting the making of contracts in constraint of trade intended to exclude railroads within the purview of that act. * * © “It prohibits contracts, combinations, etc., in restraint of trade or commerce. Trans- porting commodities is commerce, and if from one state to or through another, it is interstate commerce. When the act prohibits contracts in restraint of trade or commerce, the plain meaning of the lan- guage used included contracts which relate to either or both subjects. “Both trade and commerce are included so long as each relates to that which is interstate or foreign. While the statute prohibits all combinations in the form of trusts or otherwise, the limitation is not confined to that form alone. All combina- tions which are in restraint of trade or commerce, are prohibited, whether in the form of trusts or any form whatever. “We are asked to hold that the act of Congress excepts contracts which are not in unreasonable restraint of trade, and which only keep rates up to a reasonable price, notwithstanding the language of the act mckes no such exception. In other words, we are asked to read into the act, by the way of judicial legislation, an ac- ceptance that is not placed there by the law-making branch of the government. This we cannot and ought not to do. Trusts All Alike. “Why should not a railroad company be included in general legislation aimed at the prevention of that kind of agreement made in restraint of trade, which may ex- ist in all companies and which tends very much toward the same results, whether put in practice by a trading and manufac- turing or by a railroad company? “It is true, the results of trusts or com- binations of that nature, may be different in different kinds of corporations, and yet they all have an essential similarity, and have been induced by motives of individual or corporate aggrandizement as against the pubiic interest. “In business or trading combinations they may even temporarily, or perhaps permanently, reduce the price of the article traded in or. manufactured, by reducing the expense inseparable from the running of many different companies for the same purpose. “Trade or commerce under those cir- cumstances may nevertheless be badly and unfortunately restrained by driving out of businces the small dealers and worthy men whose lives have been spent therein, ard who might be enabled to readjust themseives to their altered surroundings. Low Prices No Excuse. “Mere reduction in the price of the com-. modity dealt in might be dearly paid for by the ruin of such a class and the absorp~ tion of control over one ¢ommodity by an | all-powerful combination of capital. “It 1s wholly different when such changes are effected by combinations of capital whose purpose in combining is to control the production or manufacture of any par- ticular article in the market and by such control dictate the price’ at which the ar- ticle shall be sold, the effect being to drive out of business all the small dealers in the commodity and to render the public sub- ject to the decision of the combination as to what price shall be paid for the article. “In this light it is not material that the price of an article may be lowered. It is in the power of the combination to ratse it, and the result in any event is unfor- tunate for the country by depriving it of the. services of a larger number of small but indeperdent dealers who were familiar with the business and who had spent their lives in it and who supported themselves and their families from the small profits realized therein. “Whether they be able to find other ave- nues to earn their livelihood is not so material, because it {s not for the real prosperity of any country that such changes should occur which result in trans- ferring an independent business man, the head of his establishment, small though it might be, into a mere servant or agent of @ corporation for selling the commodities which he once manufactured or dealt in, having no voice in shaping the business policy of the company and bound to obey orders issued by others. Against Their Power. “Nor is it for the substanttal interests of the country that any one commodity should be within the sole power and sub- ject to the sole will of any one powerful combination of capital. “Congress has, so far as its jurisdiction extends, prohibited all contracts or combi- nations in the form of trusts entered into for the purpose of restraining trade and commerce. The results naturally following from a contract or combination in restraint of trade or commerce, when entered into by a manufacturing or trading company such as above stated, while differing some- what from those which may follow a con- tract to keep up transportation rates by railroads, are nevertheless of the same nature and kind, and the contracts them- selves do not so far differ in their nature that they may not all be treated alike and be condemned in common. “It is entirely appropriate generally to subject corperations or persons engaged in trading or manufacturing to different rules from those applicable to railroads in their transportation business, but when the evil to be remedied ts similar in both kinds of corporations, such as contracts which are unquestionably in restraint of trade, we see no reason why similar rules should not be promulgated in regard to both, and both be covered in the same statute by general language sufficiently broad to include them both.” Whnt May Be Included. At the Department of Justice it is re- garded as not improbable that under the decision of the Supreme Court all traffic agreements will be required to be submit- ted to the interstate commerce commission, The belief is also expressed that it means a reversal of the opinion delivered in the Circuit Court of Appeals for the second circuit last week in the ‘case of the Joint Traffic Association, the opinion in that instance being favorable to the railroad combination Another important view considered is that all telegraph, express and telephone compantes which combine to regulate and hold up rates can be compelled under this ecision to submit their joint agreements to the interstate commerce commission. Ansociations Affected. Judge William R. Mcrrison, chairman of the interstate commerce commission, in an interview, says: “Tke decisicn of the Supreme Court today in the Trans-Missour! Freight Association affects freight end passenger tratiic asso- ciations of every character. The provisions of the anti-trust law, as well as the fnter- state commerce acts, can now be invoked in the case of every traffic association ex- isting for the purpose of pooling interests and maintair ing rates. “The great asscclauons thus affected are the Joint Traffic Asscciation, covering all the territory east cf the Mississippi and north of the Ohio; the Southern Railway and Steamship associations, covering the territory east of the Mississippi, south of the Ohio and west of the Potomac; the Western Traffic Association, embracing the section between the Mississippi and Mis- scuri rivers and lines between Chicago and St. Louis; the Southwestern Traffic Asso- ciation, somewhat subordinate to the West- ern, operating in Missouri, Texas and the southwest, and the Trans-Continental Traf- fic Association, including the Trans-Mis- scurl Association, operating west of the Missouri, throughout the far west and northwest, but with ramifications into the territory of the Western and Southwestern associations. “Thus the railway traffic combines throughout the country ‘come within the scope of the decision, and are liable to be arraigned in the courts: by the United States district attorneys for violations of the two laws cited.” —__-e-___ DUTIES ON SHIPS’ SUPPLIES. A Question Raised by a Steam Company Not Yet Decided. ‘The Secretary of State has received a dis- patch from the United States consul at Bremen stating in effect tHat on account of duties imposed on transshipments of ship's supplies in New York the North German Lloyd Steamship Company is abont to complete arrangements for making such transshipments at Genda, and therefore will cease to purchase its food supplies in the United States. The sole cause for the proposed change, the consul reports, is that a duty is imposed on’ supplies which the company transships at the port of New York from their Bremen vessels to those of their Mediterranean fleet which meet them there. As the supplies so taxed at New York are not landed in the United States, but transshipped simply from one vessel to another, and since they are all consumed, not in the United States, but on the high seas, and since the supplies con- sumed are, in part, produced in the United States, the company think the duty im- posed is unnatural and unfair. The amount of food supplies purchased in the United States is said to have averaged between 1,500,000 and 2,000,000 marks per year. The act of March 3, 1897, provides that— ‘Sea stores and the legitimate equipment of vessels belonging to regular lines plying between foreign ports and the United States delayed in port for any cause may be transferred in such port of the United States, under the supervision of the cus- toms officers, from one vessel to another vessel of the same owner without pay- ment of duties, but duties must be paid on such stores or equipments landed for consumption, except American products.” Whether or not this act will apply to the conditions complained of by the North Ger- man Lloyd Company hag not yet been de- cided by the treasury officials, but a con- struction of the law probably will be an- nounced very soon in view of the con- templated action of the German line. ————__-e-.. - Will Go. to New York.
