It is equally true that combinations of capital are bound to continue and to grow, and this need not alarm even the most timid if the corporation, or the series of corporations, is properly conducted with due regard for the rights of others. The day of individual competition in large affairs is past and gone--you might just as well argue that we should go back to hand labour and throw away our efficient machines--and the sober good sense of the people will accept this fact when they have studied and tried it out. Just see how the list of stockholders in the great corporations is increasing by leaps and bounds. This means that all these people are becoming partners in great businesses. It is a good thing--it will bring a feeling of increased responsibility to the managers of the corporations and will make the people who have their interests involved study the facts impartially before condemning or attacking them.

白话
资本联合的趋势同样不可阻挡，它会继续发展壮大。只要公司或公司系列在经营时充分尊重他人权利，即使最胆小的人也不必惊慌。在大事上单打独斗的时代已经过去，就像我们不能放弃高效机器退回手工劳动一样。人们只要认真研究和尝试，就会接受这个事实。看看大公司的股东名单正在飞速增加，这意味着许多人成了大企业的合伙人。这是好事：它会增强管理者的责任感，也会让利益相关的人在批评或攻击之前，先 impartial 地研究事实。
