which he has risen to eminence. From
this exposition there is no dissent; we
may therefore accept It as authorita-

After some discussion OF railway
rates, whose relations to this vast for.
tune seemed to be recognized, the
apologist and euloglst laid down this
broad principal as governing the whole
business: "he law Of the survival OF
the fittest is a law too firmly estab.
lished to be overturned or even long
delayed by legislative enactments."
That this is the very law by which
these gigantic fortunes have been built
up is not. in deed. news; but it is un-
usual to have the fact so distinctly
avowed
The curious fact is that anyone
should conceive OF this as being the
t5pe regulative principle Of human so

undoubted fact The big fishes eat the

fes us with our fellows. and makes our
happiness consist, not in exterminat-
ing our rivals, but in sharing the good

II is OF course, entirely clear that

the conduct OF those who have built
up enormous fortunes upon the ruin
OF their fellow men is the principle OF
"the survival OF the Attest and il Is
