RN'1D GROWTH Or MONOrOLY.--.
Few people are aware Of the lrcmcn-
dous growth of monopoly within the past
lew years. Take the Standard on, for
example. Most people think II con-
incs lis operations TO the on regions,
except as regards the sale of its pro-
duct; that its whole industry is rctin
ing and marketing the product OF oil
wells. This, however, is only one
branch. 1t is seemingly aiming lo

ducts of the Soll. 1t is now the larr.

the largest copper producer. 1t has
iccrntly acquired control Of some oI
the largest copper mines and is aiming

largest owner OF timber in the world
and Is buying up forests OF timber
wherever il can do so on satisfactory
terms. We understand that it now
controls nearly all the timber in the
State OF Montana. In fact, il Drac-

OF growth, the Standard Oil and a few
other combines will own and control
all the natural sources OF wealth, such

THE ENGRAVING BUREAU
VAST AMOUNT OF WORK DURING
THE PAST FISCAL YEAR.
Growth of the Establishment, Reduc-
ton i'm Cost of Production and
Increase In Proficiency.

Thomas ]. Sullivan, acting director OF the
bureau of engraving and printing, has sub
mitted to Secretary Gage the annual report
Of the operations of the bureau for the ifs
cal year ended June 30.
The report shows that the aggregate
amount Of money available for the work of
the bureau was $2O39, S11. and the expendi-
lures were $2,O11, 7O2, leaving an unexpend-
ed balance of SIS, 100. A summary Of the
work done during the year shows a total
Of 116,9O0, 423 sheets, as follows: Notes, GER
tificates Of deposits, bonds and national
bank notes. 26,O3271s; internal revenue
stamps, 49, 7S4,O45; customs stamps, 225,OO0:
postage stamps, 4O,O42,547; postage stamps
for Cuba. 10000; postage stamps for Porto
Rico, 1850; postage stamps for Philippines.
5000: postage stamps for Guam, 1,51O;
checks, certificates. drafts, ETC., 1852, 6S3.
The number of sheets printed does not
really give fair conception of the amount
of work done. There were, for instance,
4O,O42. $50 sheets of postage stamps, but the
number OF stamps in the sheets was 1925
4S2.o74 The number Of internal revenue
stamps was 2.439. TAI, 312.
It is estimated that for the fiscal year
1902 the bureau will have to print I42, 357, :
100 sheets of various classes of work.
Mr.. Sullivan gives an interesting state
ment showing the annual production of the
bureau and the cost of the work for TWEEN
ty-three years. This shows that in 1878
the number of sheets produced was 13, $685.,
1855. the expenditures were $53S, S61 SO, the
average cost per 1000 sheets was $41 A.
the average number of employees was 522
and the average number Of sheets per en-
ploye was 1908. In the fiscal year 1900
the number of sheets printed was nearly
ten times as great as in 1873, being u.s.
9O9.423. The expenditures were less than
-FOUR times as great, being S2O11, 7O2 o.
The average cost per 1000 sheets had
dropped from lila to S1720 The average
number of employees was 1899. The aver
age number of sheets per employe had in
creased from %, O93 to IS, 49,
