On the other hand, an equally virile human trait, the social instinct, leads men to associate themselves together in co- operative enterprise. Since the world began man's faith in his fellow-man was never before so pronounced as it is to-day. This is manifested in innumerable forms of social and industrial as- sociation. Out of these conflicting dispositions has sprung the hahit of competition and the habit of combination. The struggle between these forces has begotten two maxims, namely, " com...- petition is the life of trade" and "in union there is strength." Neither of these maxims, however, affords an infallible guide in the affairs of life. In many instances competition kills trade by constriction. There are also combinations for good and combinations for evil. Many combi- nations perish of their own lack of vitality. Besides, the life of trade is a subjective element. It has its origin an d force in human intelligence ambition and acquisitiveness. Combination and competition are only modes of interaction.
