Hearings before the Committee on Interstate Commerce

Part four of Hearings before the committee on interstate commerce starts part way through a hearing in which Mr. Martin answers questions from the senators regarding the dissolution of trusts and the consequences to stockholders. A statement of Andrew Jaritz begins on page 174 in which Jaritz presents his ideas and conclusions on the permanent and progressive habits of economic legislation and the need for economic principles. Jaritz suggests the government frame trusts within the context of the economy and work for the people to set reasonable prices and prevent waste by the producers and the consumers. The government could then profit from the savings and continue regulating and enforcing economic legislation by forming a new department of economic policy.

Letter from Seth Low to Emerson Hough

Letter from Seth Low to Emerson Hough

Seth Low informs Emerson Hough that he has followed the advice of John O’Hara Cosgrave and has given Thomas William Lawson permission to print Hough’s article as an advertisement at his own expense. Low does not believe there is any market for selling the article, as no one would dare publish it, so this is the only way to get it into print. If Hough prints the article during the week of the Republican National Convention, however, Low thinks that it would be very profitable, and instructs Hough to print 100,000 copies to sell. Low will meet up with Hough in Chicago, but says that Hough should make arrangements with the ‘street fakirs’ for these to be sold.
