artist, D. c. French, who was at work
upon the bust which is now in Memorial
Hall, at Harvard University
During one of the sittings Mr.. Emerson
rose suddenly and walked over to where
the artist was working. He looked long
and earnestly at the work, and then, with
an inimitably droll expression, said, 1.-THE
trouble is, the more 1t resembles me, the
worse II looks"
After the sculptor had finished the bust
he asked Mr.. Emerson to inspect It. The
philosophers opinion was characteristic
of the man.

DEFENSE OF THE STANDARD.


Any assertion that the Standard
Oil company has been or now is
knowingly engaged in practices
which are unlawful is alike I'M
truthful and unjust
The Standards advantage is one
which ii is lot possible TO correct
by any rate legislation, unless it is
proposed to banhri pit the railroads
in order to meet water competition.
Refusal OF the New England
roads to prorate is not the fault of
the Standard Oil company.
Violations of the interstate com
merce law with regard to discrimi-
nations do not fall within the juris-
diction or the bureau of corpora
uons' ana any statement on the
part OF MI Garfield respecting this
SUBJECT Is gratuitous and valueless.
The bureau of corporations has
no control over state rates.
There have been no secret rates
nor unlawful discrimination In the
interest Of the Standard Oil COM
pany.
II is admitted in the report that
all OF these rates are covered by
tarirts filed with the interstate
commerce commission precisely as
the law provides, and therefore
cannot be either secret or ''un-
lawful"
The statement that the STANDARD
OIL company has largely by unfair
and unlawful methods crushed out
home competition" is fully answered
by the fact that home competi
ton has always existed, is steadily
growing, and that there are now
at least 1875 competitive refineries in
the United States
The grief which the President
expresses In his message over the
inability OF the railroads to COM
bine and protect themselves from
shippers will probably arouse amuse-
ment
The Standard OIL company has
been investigated over and over
again at the instigation of its
rivals, and 1t always welcomes such
investigation when conducted IN
good faith and fairly.

By PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.

The Standard Oil has benefited
enormously up almost to the pres
ent moment by secret rates, many
Of these secret rates being clearly
unlawful.
The immediate correction, partial
or complete, Of the evil of the
secret rates is an acknowledgment
that they were wrong, and vet were
persevered in until exposed.
The department of justice will
take up the question OF insuitutlng
prosecutions.
The granting to the government
OF the power TO substitute a proper
for an improper rate is in many in
stances the only effective way to
prevent improper Determinations
The only way that this can be
cured is by comforting upon the
Interstate commerce commission
the power to take quick and effect
I've action in regulating the rates.

BY COMMISSIONER GARFIELD.

OF the annual output Of 20 900 900
barrels Of refined oil. the Standard
OIL company controls $4,000, 900.
The company's so-called natural
advantages, in part Obtained by
unfair competition, have been
greatly increased by discrimina-
tons In freight rates.
OIL is from two 20 1--WE cents
higher In roncompetitive than in
competitive fields.
The monopolistic control extends
from the well OF the producer 10
the doorstep or the consumer.
Determinations have been so long
continued, so secret, so iageniously
applied to new conditions OF trade,
ana SO large In amount, as to make,
1t certain that they were due to
concerted action by the Standard
and the railroads.
The Standard oil is receiving un.
Just determinations IN open rates
The advantage is enormous.
