increase profits by eliminating competition
Monopolies and trusts were big businesses that had gained control over all other competition, therefore allowing themselves to regulate prices (usually causing widespread debt on people who were reliant on their services). An example of this is the railroad companies during the industrial revolution who could charge ludicrously per freight car of goods shipped to the farmers who were unable to get their goods out otherwise. These monopolies, or trusts, are now prevented by the government to keep them from hurting others as they did in the past.

Pulling arrangements, Holding Companies, Trusts, Vertical and Horizontal Integration.
In the United States, in the late 1800's, there were many monopolies. A monopoly is a business in an industry that other companies can't compete with. The problem with that is that the monopoly can charge whatever price they want for what they make, and when there is no competition there is no need to improve. Competition is what improves the world, just think about it. At that time there was also Trusts. Trusts are a group of monopolies lead by one board of directors. This is terrible for many businesses. The Sherman Antitrust Act banned trusts and monopolies. It was a very important Act.
