ITO me-" said an old newspaper man
yesterday, ''the greatest menace that
threatens us now is not the trusts alone,
but certain kind of trust, and that is
the department. store as it exists in
the larger cities today. The scope of
these octopi of trade is SO ext -nded
that everything buyable is on sale, and
1 CHANGED to be in New York at the
time that the association of department
stores came near puying outright q
newspaper there. The bigger stores
have banded together in an association
which practically dictates to the news
papers the rates to be charged. At
one, time, it seemed as though the
newspapers and the department store
people could not come tn terms; at tue
same time the New York Recorder
was for ssle, and the department store
people not only threatened to buy. bnt
came very nearly buying outright the
paper, and starting it afresh, With
plenty of vim aud capital back of it.
The possibilities are beyond contempla
ton. They could afford, for the sake
of the advertising alone. to get out an
excellent paper, and to place it, free of
cost, in every home IN New York. and
even then make money. And probab-
~ they will still do this some time,
and then the old papers might just as
well quit business"
