ARCHBOLD LETTERS
Continued from Page onel
sent to him in order to secure control
of leading newspaper in Ohio. That
is not my statement. 1t is his and
is in all probability true.
In addition to controlling newspa- |
pers, however, 1 md that the Stan
dard Oil Company influences certain
minor publications by contributions, as
this letter will show:
26 Broadway, October 10, 1902.
Mr.. H. H. Edmonds,
Baltimore, Md.
Dear Sir:
Responding to yours of the 9Th,
it gives me pleasure to enclose you
herewith certificate of deposit to
your favor of $4,000 covering a
years subscription to the MANU-
FACTURERS' RECORD.
Truly yours,
JOHN d. ARCHBOLD.
PLAINLY A SUBSIDY.
81 have looked up the subscription
price of the Manufacturers Record and
l find that it is 81 year. Consequent
ly Mr.. Archbold was either subsidiz-
ing the Manufacturers Record, or he
was subscribing for $50 years. There is
no mention of any advertising done by
the Manufacturers Record or any legi-
innate newspaper business performed.
The $4,000 is distinctly termed sub
| scription. l see that it is definitely
stated as years subscription, so that
there is no possibility of its being
anything else than a subsidy.
THE Standard Oil Company is lib
eral subscriber of this sort, and the
object of these subscriptions is to in
duce these publications to influence
public sentiment in favor of Standard
Oil, as the following letter will show:
&c Broadway, New York,
Dec. Is, 1901.
Mr.. Thomas Crasty,
Care of Buck & Pratt, Room
1903, No. 27 William St., City.
Dear Mr. Grasty: 1 have your
favor of yesterday and beg to re-
turn you herewith the telegram
from Mr.. Edmunds to you. We
are willing to continue the sub
scription of $4,000 to the Southern
| Farm Magazine for another year,
payments to be made the same as
they have been this year. We do
not doubt that the influence of
your publication through the
South is of the most helpful char
acter.
With good wishes, l am, very
truly yours,
JOHN d. ARCHBOLD.
81 have looked up the subscription
price of the Southern Farm Magazine
and l find that it is fifty cents year,
so that Mr. Archbold's $4,000 was
either a subsidy or a subscription for
10000 years. AS Mr.. Archbold says
the $4,000 is a subscription for "an-
other year, we may conclude not only
that it was subsidy, but that it fol-
lowed previous subsidy of a similar
Kind and amount.
BUYS LECTURERS AND TEACHERS.
1.-The Standard Oil Company not only
endeavors to influence public senti-
ment through magazines and news
papers, but it subsidies teachers and
lecturers to educate" the public IN
the interest of the Standard Oil. The
following letter is and example in
point:
26 Broadway, New York,
To Prof. George Gunton, Al Union
Square, City.
My Dear Professor: Respond
ing to your favor, it gives me
pleasure to enclose you herewith
certificate of deposit to your favor
of $500 as an additional contri-
button to that agreed upon and to
aid you in your most excellent
work. l most earnestly hope that
the way VIII open for an enlarged
scope as you anticipate.
Very truly yours,
JOHN d. ARCHBOLD.
