By WILLIAM HoSTER.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 2s.-From
the idyllic retiT ament of Forest Hill.
John u. Rockefeller on Thursday gave
this message on the economic future OF
the United States:
MY faith in the future is boundless.
We are but in the infancy OF our eco
nomic development which must pro-
ceed, as II has followed during tEa
past forty years, the line of consolIon-
ton AID cooperation.
You ask me particularly what think
OF the future OF the business corpora
ton. or trust, so-callcd. I say that my
faith in the Standard OIL Company, for
Instance, was never greater than it, is
at the present hour. II has a su.urs
that will far transcend its achievements
Of the past. So with all the great indus
trial corporations.
1T Is the tendency of the age to CON-
bine. This tendency viii become even
more marked as time passes. 1t has
come to be recognized that business on
a successful scale can only be carried
on and the interests OF everyone con-
served, by means Of combination. There
can be no turning back. We cannot
return to the postchaise and tavern
days.
