If, however, he could put out ped dlers, he could make a demand, for his goods, and the merchant would then be glad to handle them. The act that a man could be sure that he would be able to sell the prodact of his factory, would induce men to put money m the tobacco business. The result would be, I feel confident, that there would spring up 'all over the tobacco section of the State factories, and some of these factories would develop into real competitors for the trust. - The giving of coupons and prizes by the trust is one of the most suc cessful weapon in the hands , of the trust in . destroying corapelitors. There should be placed such a tax on this method, of preventing inde pendent manufacturers from gaining a foothold, that the trust could'' not afford to pay. the tax, and thereby eliminate this means of stifling com-petition:- ; :", "The lord helps those who lielp themselves.7 The people of North Carolina have it in r their power to pfiae open the door of " competition.
