 RULER.
Controls Over Ten Billions-European Monarchies Pigmies to Him in
 Power-Lines May Belt The Globe.

A New York telegram to The St. Lotus Post-Dispatch says
 1t has been made plain that J. Pier pont Morgan's real intention IS 10 FIT dle the globe and capture the carrSins trade of the world. All he needs Is the Russian Transsiberian road, which Amer ican engineers are building.
 Tonight MT. Morgan Is planning to build railways in China lie mas asksu saI China for permit. Last week ne se- cured the Transatlantic steamers rms week he was after the South Americah ships and railways.
 What next he will do no man s...,,sr hmum ,h o But while Mir Morgan is combining the tig carrying lines of the globe there are more than 1000 ships-tramp ships-iyns at American ports unable to secure car goes. These ships belong to small leiiows a,.s' who do not control railways. hence are not able to make the through rates the hig fellows offer When they have been starved out there will be none to say may to this mightiest of mighty men.
 The World at His Feet.
 Mir. Morgan and six other American cit izens have now become more poWeI,ui than any Congress or Parliament III 'he world. x, Fourteen steamship lines and forty-four railroad systems are theirs. On lana a mileage of los.5oo and on sea tonnage o' 200 600 are in their control.
 Three hundred of the largest steam ships in the world and 5000 of the best euliipped passenger and freight trains take orders from them.
 This railway mileage is greater than the combined mileage of Great Britain Russia, Germany, Spain, Holland ana Belgium And more than 300 vessels which will sail under its orders, cannot be duplicated from the mercnant marihe of every ocean, {. A worldwide transportation trust has long been MT. Morgln's dream English newspa pers are making comicaliy pit1u pleas to Morgan to let England como into the new trust, not as an annex tc America but as an equal partner.
 The fact that MT. Morgan is addressed fin tones of application shows that he is absolute master Not Alexander, Tn al his glory; not Caesar Augustus, not even Napoleon. with all his mighty armies was such a conqueror as J. Pierpont Mor- gan with his little yes and mo" that makes or unmakes trusts.
 No King is So Powerful.
 No King is one-tenth so powerful as Morgan. Edward VII. Emperor William Nicholas of Russia-any one of these is a pigmy in real power compared with Mor- gan. By nationality an American, he is In fact citizen of all countries.
 Almost every kind of man who labors works for Morgan through some of his companies.
 Rudyard Kipling. Lew wallace-all the geniuses who in the fine frenzy dash of poetry and write stories for Harper's. are
 
 lists are digging out minute facts for Morgan to scatter to the world. The ar- list with pencil and brush oraws and paints. and Morgan pays him.
 More Than All the Gold
 So absolute has he become that while he is personally worth perhaps not more than a hundred million of dollars, corpo- rations over which he has control possess more wealth than there is gold on the earth.
 The total capitalization of all the com panies he controls is $5,2 99S. .3S6-and all the gold, coined and uncoined, in all the nations. including the populous East is estimated at SfS41. 100000
 There are in the whole known world about l.320. .000.000 human beings. J. P. Morgan controls enough to give each A. More than a million mon are employed by the companies Mir. Morgan controls. This means that five million-men. women and children are dependent on him for living-or rather that five million per- sons contribute to his comfort
