corning the principles OF an historic In

MUCH attention has been paid to the
speech made by Chairman Gary, OF the
steel trust, at the dinner Of the Illinois
Society in New York last week, in which
he declared that vested rights must yield
whenever they became autsgonisiic to
the public welfare and safety. He
urged that leading men in business should
try to harmonizs themselves with public
officials for the betterment Of govern
meut management. Ia this connection
Judge Gary said;
"The opportunities for the acqui-
sition of weslth have beea and are
90 great that large and increasing
fortunes of individuals snd corpora
tions compel the most thoughtful men
to dread the results of the future unless
the Influence and power OF money can
be controller by government authority.
The question is too far.fesching to be
laughed out of court. II the power OF
money be not 90 controlled, who Cau tell
when or how or to what exttnt it may
be attacked BY the mob?"

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie has proposed the

of prophet, said;
The industrial world is about to I'M
