word from the plates made by the Ne
Nally Company.
This fact efectually disposes Of tnA
claim that the book was withdrawn. be-
cause OF errors in printing. The belief
is also strengthened that the bitter at
tack on trusts and m0nop0lies that thu
volume contains was the reason why its
original publishers. whose customers
are almost wholly corporations and rail-
roads. decided that it would be Door
business policy for them 20 print II.
Mrs Margaret Horton Potter Black n

unusual interest and questioning in Chi
