Is the legal principal to give those

That conditions are destructive OF
individual effort, that the small
business man is being ground between
the upper milestone of commercial
combination and the neither stone of
the gold standard, is indicated in
the commercial reports, which show
that, while the failures for the first
quarter of 1901 did not aggregate
as much in liabilities as the first
quarter of 1900, the number of fail
ures was 49l greater, being 1886 as
against 1894 for the same period last
year. There is nothing to encourage
to go into business the man who
acquires small capital. 1t is in a
measure quite unsafe, as the big com
binations are ready to crush him if
possible and are made that much
richer by his financial demise.
