C. December 12, 1899 Corrected and Revised Large aggregations of capital, concentrated in the hands of corporations, are called "trusts.'' In form, the difference between a corporation possessing a large, and another a small, capital is, however, only one of degree; but in principle the difference may be very deep and important, and lead to grave results. The Courts of this country, applying the old and effete rules of monopoly or public policy, have almost unanimously declared these so-called "trusts" illegal. But in the contest between the technical principles of law and the progress of trade the law has succumbed, and the trusts have multiplied with great rapidity.
