and the net earnings S3.123, ,785 81. This

OF public interest, except the fact that the

the total investment.
IN less than twenty years this powerful
monopoly has grown 10 such extensive
proportions that 5s2, ,50e telephones are
in actual use, and its immense wealth has
been created through a system OF over
charging. Unlike its rival the Standard
on Company, whose money was principally
made IN speculation, the Bell Telephone
Company has accumulated its capital and
profits from the use OF its Instruments.

A few weeks since the United States Su-

is hoped, will inyalidate the Bell Com

upon by this monopoly long enough, and
the effect of competition win afford them
