Introduction by the Author: THE trust question is a question of which we may truly say that it will never be settled until it is settled right, and it will never be settled right except by eliminating the evils of combination and retaining the benefits and advantages of combination. All the exponents of high finance or low finance, of big business or little business who affect to desire to see business activity encouraged and business conditions settled, must make up their minds to see first the trust question settled.
