for comparison Of present prices -

"a competition that avails itself OF
every new idea or applance-tha.
makes success"
But Judge Gary has very peculiar
ideas as to the meaning of monopoly
and competition, as will be seen from
the following quotations from this
same interview:
There is tremendous competition
on all the time between our various
mills, friendly. good-natured rivalry.
but none the less eager. 1t is the kind
of competition that is giving the indus
trial supremacy Of the world into the
hands of America
mo, we know very well that we can
not win by the device of a monopoly.
We must win by getting possession of
the best and most economical raw
products. and by using the most con-
centrated and highly developed meth
DDS of production. This is a compet-
tive, not monopolistic idea"
"Of course the first element of
strength. which the United States
Steel corporation has is its possession
Of raw products. We own 10000 acres
Of Connellsville coal. practically the
whole supply Of the world. We also
own $4,000 acres of Pocahontas coal
These two Goals beat the world for
cheapness and quality. We also own
zoo. 100000 tons of unmined iron. We
have methods of measuring the supply
in the ground. and that is our estimate |
Then we have about 1.500 miles of our |
own railroads. besides something like |
a hundred and fifteen steel boats on
the lakes. Our vast system of steel |
and iron mills is controlled by Is sub
sidiary companies, which in turn con-
troll their own subsidiary companies.-
No further comment upon Judge
0ary's logic is necessary, except to say
that the only danger he sees ahead for
his world-conquering trust lies in
lower tariff duties and in less protec-
ton. IF we are TO be the dominant
nation of the world"
he says, 1--WE must be as fully prot ected
as any other nation"
Judge Gary is up-to-date, and knows
how to manufacture new definitions.
and rules of logic, as we'll as steel rails.
These are great times.

The industrial chieftains at the head

President Charles NJ Schwab made

comes Judge L. II. Gary. the acting head
OF the trust, with a three column in

described only by saying that IL is a
"corker." Here are a few SAMPLES of
