the census for 1900, the value OF trust
made articles was only 1913 per cent.

states that the steel corporation was
formed after the census year and was
not included in the list of 1s3 trusts.
This writer must have had this CEN
sus bulletin before him when he was
copying figures and statements from
it. The most conspicuous matter on
page . relates to the great steel cor
poration and the reasons why the re-
turns from ii were not included in the
trust tables. The writer evidently
wanted to make as good a case a. pos
sible. and decided to deliberately fall
sify statements to make il easy Tor
republican speakers and writers TO de-
ceive the people. Hence he stated that
the steel trust. whose capital was one
third Of all. was included in the list.
or course he expected republican
speakers to tell the people that out
side of this steel trust. the total out
put in trust combinations was only
So. 600. 900, 900. and that the trust ques-
tion was being greatly exaggerated
by the wicked democrats. Hundreds
Of spellbinders will undoubtedly use
his figures.
The campaign book treats this list
Of 1873 trusts as IL it were a complete
list and embraced all the trusts in the
country. 1t j. far from complete. IL
does not. for example, include any OF
the scores of gas and electric light
combinations. although the value Of
their products forms a large part OF
the / 1900. OOO. 900 Of total manufac.
lures. the value of gas alone being $751;
716.693.
How very incomplete this trust list
Is. is evident from the fact that as
far back as 1890 the Journal of Com
merce and Commercial Bulletin Year
Book of New York contained a list o.
AIS trusts Gnclnding wcll-known price

and chartered trusts. with a tota
