Where it came from
Commissioned in late 19th-century Canada, this report was authored under the direction of Nathaniel Clarke Wallace, a prominent politician who chaired the Select Committee. Published in 1888, the document serves as a foundational piece of legislative history, created to investigate the growing prevalence of trusts, monopolies, and collusive trade practices—often referred to as combinations—that were then reshaping the Canadian industrial landscape.
The report was a response to public and political outcry regarding the lack of competition in sectors like insurance and manufacturing. Its design adheres to the standard format of late-Victorian parliamentary papers, utilizing formal, sober typography and structured data to present complex economic findings to the House of Commons. While highly technical in nature, it is historically significant for laying the groundwork for Canada’s first antitrust legislation, the Combines Investigation Act.
