beautiful and laughable entertain

A NATIONAL EVIL.

The great evil of Standard OIL IL

or group Of men. has the right to all
possible wealth honestly acquired. The
heinous offense committed by this
company and its directing members
is that of breaking the law. II the
law had been respected Standard OIL
would be small concern. The law
was broken for profit. for wealth be.
yond the dreams OF avarice.
Now II the law were a mere alb.
stract law against monopoly 1t would
seem in this money making age a
slight thing to ignore II and quite
natural to overleap In the hurdle race
from poverty to the goal OF riches so
small an obstacle as little law. as
all wise men admit. we have too
many anyhow.
But Standard OIL crushed its com
petitors BY the power of Its money
1t corrupted railroads into giving II
rebates and put its rivals out Of bust
ness by means OF this corruptly pur-
chased unfair advantage.
II undersold the little fellow In the
oil business even at loss.
1t used its enormous capital In other
Industrial corporations, in Transports
tion companies. and In financial In
stitutions until today no man dare at
tempt any very large enterprise against
the will OF the tyrant that has his
throne at the famous No. 26 Broad

To maintain this power In business
political power has been necessary
And the latter was obtained Just as
the former was obtained, by corrup
tion. In every state in the Union just
as the people have been mulcted by
the extortion OF the octopus so lead
ers OF the people until they have been
found out have been debauched by
