Trusts put smaller competitors out of business using unfair tactics.
Trusts could unfairly raise prices since they had no competition.
Trusts had too much influence on government officials.
Many people opposed monopolies and trusts because they stifled competition, leading to higher prices and fewer choices for consumers. Monopolies often exploited workers by paying low wages and providing poor working conditions, as they faced little to no competition. Additionally, these powerful entities could manipulate markets and influence politics, undermining democracy and economic fairness. Overall, the concentration of economic power in the hands of a few raised concerns about inequality and the erosion of individual rights.
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.

The creation of trusts led to monopolies and oligopolies, which often resulted in higher prices for goods and services due to reduced competition in the market. Trusts could dominate entire industries and stifle competition, leading to increased control over pricing. This concentration of power led to concerns over consumer welfare and the need for antitrust legislation to prevent price manipulation and promote fair competition.
