ability. for while others are 5tGgger-
ing under a load of lettering stocks,
Mr.. Morgan is serenely enjoying the
cash profit which he realized through
furnishing the water for the various
securities. Mr.. Morgan's method was
simplicity itself A number of firms
controlling certain product would
be brought together. new corpora
tiOn would be formed. capitalized at
10 or ) times the value of the plants
to be combined. For a consideration
Mr.. Morgan would guarantee the sale
of the new stock, and his financial
standing was such that plenty Of
suckers were always waiting for his
bait. In this way he made prohL of
icing the United States Steel cor
pOratiOn. and the recent shrinkage of
over three hundred million dollars in
the yalul of that stock has not N
any way affected Mr.. Morgan. for he
doesn't own any of the stock. BY
courtesy. his method has been called
the underwriting of securities, but it
bears about the same relation ito
legitimate insurance that mutton
stealing does to sheep raising.
During Mr.. Cleveland's second adj
ministraton. when this country was
i'm the throes OF financial panic, MIR.
Morgan's abilities wen7a called into
use in the selling Of government
bonds. to protect the gold reserve of
the national treasury. BY that trans
eral millions to his private fortune,
but the storm Of public protest was
so great that in the next sale of gov
eminent bonds public subscriptions
were received and the bonds we're
subscribed for many times over. OW-
ing to the recent collapse OF the
many enterprises fioated by Mr.. Nor
gan, mis- occupation of stock water
ing will be gone for some time to
come. but human memory is short
and he will soon be doing business
at the old stand with a new lot Of
lambs eager to be feeced. One re-
markahe feature of the recent Wall
street panic has been the very slight
effect it has had upon Legitimate bust
ness interests. Wall street in the
past has regarded itself as the safety
anchor of the country in times Of
financial storm. but in the present
instance, the business affairs of the
nation have moved serenely on, OBJ
liyious of the fact that Wall sire ct
has been in the throes Of a panic.
This. no .oubt. has been due to the
good crops and large exports. and re-
flutes the old theory that financial
panics and industrial depression is
brought on by over speculation, for
over speculation in this instance has
failed to affect the legitimate business
interests of the country.
