Excerpt from The Federal Power Over Carriers and CorporationsThe present work deals, as its title indicates, with the nature and extent of powers belonging to the general government, not with Congressional legis lation. One statute, however, the Act of July 2, 1890, popularly known as the Sherman anti-trust Act, so closely concerns the principles of govern ment that it has required a full consideration.It is common in discussing these questions largely to disregard the purposes which in¿uenced the formation of our government and for a century directed its administration. Present questions, it is urged, are new, beyond the contemplation of the statesmen of a century ago, and new meanings must therefore be given to the Constitution. This is surely a most dangerous and mistaken notion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
